The Chronosport is our take on the classic Bi-Compax style chronograph. It is loosely inspired by the integrated-bracelet style sport watches of the 1970's as well as the motorsport origins of the chronograph function.
 
With the Chronosport, we wanted to take a complex approach to the usually utilitarian and spartan genre of watches that is the bi-compax chronograph. Rather than a traditional single or dual finish case and leather strap, the Chronosport features a medley of different case finishes, layers, and materials.
 
Case Finishing 
The case of the Chronosport features a multitude of finishes in alternating applications. The bezel is brushed radially, while the scallops surrounding them are done in a high mirror polished finish. The hooded lugs are finished up-down on the sides with polished triangular center. The crown is knurled with a polished and frosted relief Hourglass motif on the cap. The pushers are brushed on their collars with a polished and frosted relief on their top surfaces. The crown guards are brushed with polished screws holding them in place. As one can imagine, finishing a case to this level is not a simple task. It took us over a year and mutliple case prototypes to get this right, but we are confident that the crafstmanship that went into the case alone makes this an incredibly distinctive timepiece.
 
Dials 
Just like the case, the dial on the Chronosport is an intricate piece of work. Each dial has 3 layers: The base, recessed subdials, and elevated rehault tachymeter ring. In addition, most variants feature polished and raised harware accents and faceted polished applied indices filled with BGW9 Swiss Superluminova.
 
Keeping with Lesablier tradition, each and every Chronosport is individually numbered on the dial. This means that no two are alike. Only 50 will be made in each color, and every single one will have a different serial number on the dial.
 
The Chronosport features a variety of attractive and innovative dial colorways. Take a look below at the different choices:
 
Panda 
The "Panda" color scheme has existed on chronograph watches since their inception. A flat white primary dial with PVD black hands, applied indices and dial trim give it the contrast and legibility needed on a chronograph. The subdials, tachymeter and date window are finished in black with bright red accents to give it that little extra pop of color.
Evo
The Evo gets its name because it's an evolution of our original "Ghost" dial on the Sport Classic Moonlight. The acetate dial has just enough translucency to provide a peek behind the dial, but the smoked layer gives it the legibility usually lacking in skeletonized watches.
Indigo 
The Indigo is the quintessential 1970's watch. With a denim-blue primary dial and date window, white subdials and red accents, it screams retro-70's racetrack.
Masar Emerald 
The Masar Emerald is our love letter to the Middle East. The emerald green dial has a subtle fumé effect, fading from a darker rim to a lighter center. The numerals, printed in BGW9 lume, are in the Arabic language. The tachymeter bezel, minutes register, date display and 24-hour subdial were kept in English so that non-Arabic readers can still make use of those functionalities.
Sunrise 
The Chronosport Sunrise is our take on the ever-popular "Salmon" dial. The sunburst primary dial is somewhere between of a rich copper color and a light pink, while the subdials, rehault and date window are finished in an espresso-brown.
Starfield
