Description: Genuine BMW Titanium Automatic Chronograph !!! Discontinued model from late 1990's. Limited edition, you will own #1972. Swiss made. Ultra rare in this condition: top condition, gently used, brand new genuine BMW Titanium bracelet, complete with the original instruction manual and BMW original box. Screw-on crown. Sapphire crystal and tungsten carbide top ring. Full titanium case. Super rare medium sized case, impossible to find it nowadays. EXTREMELY RARE MODEL !!! The chronograph has a high degree of sporty functionality, reliability and precision as regards both technology and design. The exquisite Valjoux 7750 movement has been put together and regulated purely by hand in separate production. This chronograph has a Sapphire crystal and a top ring made of tungsten carbide. In their hardness, both materials are surpassed only by diamond. The case is made of titanium, a material which is distinguished by it's anti-allergic properties and it's low specific gravity.A high grade full titanium case that has a BMW logotype engraved at 6 o'clock, a curved design for a comfortable wear on the wrist, screw-on crown for extra protection from shocks and humidity, a top ring made of tungsten carbide and a curved Sapphire crystal, will safeguard your precious timepiece for many years to come. A deep black dial with a Tachymeter scale on it, red to complement the sporty design, three sub-dial counters in the classic configuration and crisp white hour and minute markers, will flatter any wrist with it's elegant design. Luminous hour markers and hour and minute hands. The snap-on titanium back, makes the watch water resistant to 5 ATM. It is secured on your wrist by an all Titanium bracelet which closes with a BMW logotype signed double safety clasp. The BMW products in the automotive and engine sector represent the peak of engineering. The BMW Chronograph with automatic winding and titanium case shares this characteristic, being a top quality product of the art of Swiss watchmaking. It is manufactured, finished and regulated in accordance with the state of the art in watch making. It fits the contour of the wrist excellently thanks to the highly rounded shape of the case. The rounded sapphire crystal has a hardness of 9 Mohs. Since only diamond is harder, it is very resistant to scratches. To match this, tungsten carbide has been used for the bezel. This is again an extremely hard, scratch-resistant material. The use of titanium as the case and bracelet material also makes sense. Although this metal is twice as difficult to work as stainless steel, it is only half as heavy. Moreover, titanium is anti-magnetic, resistant to corrosion and - undoubtedly by far it's greatest advantage - extremely skin friendly. The latte is particularly appreciated by people with a nickel allergy. The clear, mate black face in conjunction with the highly contrasting hands guarantees excellent readability.Curved Sapphire crystal. Diamond hardness is 10, Sapphire is 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Virtually scratch proof.ATTENTION !!! I also have another one, used, in like new condition, with original box and papers.

Water Resistance ....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs. Here are the facts in plain English: 1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory. Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch» 2. HOWEVER: The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition. I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours. On a side-note: only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do. Thanks for looking and buying a great and unique item. Have a great day !!!
