The new Wyler Vetta is presented in a limited series of 300 units. The Jumbostar Milano-Sanremo chronograph, inspired by the competition which is the oldest in Italy and of which the watch brand will also be a sponsor in the XIV historical re-enactment scheduled from 23 to 26 March. And the winning couple of the competition will receive two watches from the new Wyler Vetta series as a prize.
The Jumbostar Milano-Sanremo model, Swiss Made, has a case with a diameter of 40 millimeters, which takes up the original size of the 1968 chronograph, powered by the Landeron 72 automatic chronograph movement. Arabic numerals and applied indexes stand out on the double-level matt blue dial in luminescent steel. The glass is domed anti-reflective sapphire. At 3 and 9 o’clock are the minute and second counters in a colonial color that matches the brown leather strap with ecru stitching and steel pin buckle.
