Ochs und Junior, the renowned Swiss watchmaker known for its innovative timepieces, proudly presents its latest creation, the Moon Phase/Selene, an exquisite addition to the coveted ochs line. Boasting unrivaled accuracy, this timepiece is set to revolutionize the world of moon phase watches.
The Moon Phase/Selene is a true masterpiece of design, crafted in the signature ochs blue hue with rhodium-plated markers, hour and minute hands, and a captivating full moon. The new moon features a distinct patina, adding a touch of uniqueness to this already exceptional watch. The second hand beautifully complements the overall aesthetic with its striking ochs blue color.
Designed by the brilliant Ludwig Oechslin, the Moon Phase/Selene combines impeccable timekeeping with astronomical precision. Calculating the lunation at an astonishing 29.5306122449 days, this timepiece remains accurate for an impressive 3,478.27 years before deviating by a single day. Set it once, and enjoy precise moon phase indications for a lifetime, as long as you keep it wound.
Unlike traditional moon phase complications comprising numerous intricate components, Oechslin’s ingenious design utilizes only five additional parts. This minimalist approach ensures a reliable and streamlined mechanism, further enhancing the watch’s longevity and ease of use.
The Moon Phase/Selene is available in two sizes: 39 mm and 42 mm. Crafted with a grade 5 titanium case, it exudes durability and lightweight comfort. The dial, date disk, and moon disk all feature the iconic ochs blue color, while the rhodium-plated markers, sun, and hands radiate sophistication. The Swiss Super-LumiNova coating ensures optimal visibility in low-light conditions. The timepiece is powered by the ETA 2824-2.
Completing the package is the luxurious Ecopell dark blue Enzian leather strap, available in various sizes, and a handmade leather pouch by Sabina Brägger. The Moon Phase/Selene is a non-customizable masterpiece backed by a two-year warranty, priced at $5,700.
