The “Extra-fort Vitré” is a celebrated update in the enduring Extra-fort collection by Eberhard & Co., a series that has enjoyed popularity since its inception in 1940. This latest iteration maintains the iconic allure of the original Extra-fort chronographs, known for their elegant design and Dauphine-type hands, within a 39 mm steel case. The dial showcases a complex arrangement of concentric patterns, combining frappé execution with vertical lines and the azurée finish on the hour band and counters, offering a rich visual experience.
The updated Extra-fort Vitré comes in several sophisticated color schemes, creating appealing chromatic effects that enhance their allure. These include a version with argenté dials and counters, a variant with argenté dials and black counters, and a unique model featuring argenté counters set against a light blue dial—a choice that stands out for its delicacy and contemporary appeal.
A sapphire glass caseback offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship behind the watch, highlighting an oscillating mass with a pearl finish, adorned with an exclusive coiffe that contains the rotor’s bearing, secured by two blue screws. This component is further personalized with the Maison’s emblem, showcasing the Shield and the “E,” symbolizing Eberhard & Co.’s commitment to elegance and quality in their watchmaking tradition.
