At the core of the F20055/1 beats the legendary Valjoux 7750 movement, an automatic caliber renowned for its reliability and precision. Introduced in 1973 and celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023, this movement is a symbol of the transition from traditional watchmaking to modern automatic technology. The Valjoux 7750 is celebrated for its robust construction and versatility. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers precise timekeeping down to the eighth of a second. Its power is stored in a mainspring that provides a power reserve of approximately 44 hours, depending on the state of the chronograph function. The movement also features a date display, which can be quickly adjusted via the crown. Trusted in both entry-level and luxury timepieces, this caliber is a true workhorse of the industry. The Valjoux 7750 features a modular construction with three to four functional layers mounted on the main plate. The lower layers house the gear train, balance system, and mainspring, while the upper layers include the hands mechanism and time-setting components. The precision of this movement is ensured by the Etachron regulator system, which allows for easy adjustment of timekeeping accuracy. This innovative structure has solidified the Valjoux 7750 as one of the most successful automatic movements globally.

The stainless steel bracelet, also crafted from 316L, perfectly complements the robust case. With a width of 21.95 mm and a concealed clasp, the bracelet offers maximum comfort and a secure fit. Its sleek grey color harmonizes with the understated elegance of the dial, giving the watch a modern and masculine appearance. The Festina F20055/1 proudly bears the “Swiss Made” label, a guarantee of superior quality and precision. Every component of this watch has been meticulously crafted, resulting in a timepiece that not only tells time but also tells a story.
