Thanks to the launch of the new CFB A1001 caliber, based on the CFB A1000 movement, the Patravi line is enjoying remarkable design expansion. The strongly expressive, cushion-shaped case of the Patravi EvoTec DayDate, which is generously proportioned at 44 x 44.5 mm, is the perfect setting for this example of the art of mechanical watchmaking. Its highly acclaimed first public appearance was an unusual and striking version that featured a small seconds hand at 6 o’clock, which skilfully echoed the shape of the case, a clearly formed weekday display at 9 o’clock, and an exuberant large date display in the upper-left quadrant of the dial. The dimensions of the latter are sensational, even for a large date display.
