A quintessential representation of their watchmaking artistry, the present Daniel Roth showcases a striking silvered dial with an semi-skeletonised center, offering an unobstructed view of the cal. DR101 movement that drives this exceptional timepiece. The mechanical display is elegantly juxtaposed with concentric satin-finished chronograph counters and chapter rings, which form the remaining elements of the dial and create a visual connection to Daniel Roth's broader collection.

Featuring distinctive blued steel hands and classic black Roman numerals, this Chronograph stands out by seamlessly merging traditional watchmaking design elements with Daniel Roth's innovative approach to craftsmanship, particularly evident in their signature ellipsocurvex case—a design philosophy akin to Richard Mille and Franck Muller's iconic tonneau cases.
