TRES 24 Quartz 44 mm - the new 24-hour three-hand watch from BOTTA with a protected design, three-part titanium case and second indicator.

With its 24-hour display, the TRES 24 from BOTTA already deviates from the usual 12-hour time display. But it is also no ordinary 24-hour watch, because its hour hand moves synchronously with the position of the sun. 12 o'clock is up, 24 o'clock or 0 o'clock down.

For the second generation of the all-day watch, the dial graphics have now been made much quieter.

Instead of the usual second hand, it now has the innovative second indicator and, as the name suggests, the TRES 24 plus titanium case is made entirely of titanium.

Three different titanium alloys are used for the new three-part case to ensure the best characteristics.

This special case construction is currently only available from BOTTA. Like the entire watch, the second indicator is registered for "protected design".

Innovative second indicator replaces second hand for TRES 24 plus titan BOTTA has developed the new C pointer for the new TRES 24 plus titan. It consists of a small second disc with an open circle printed on it. The opening replaces the usual second hand.

In favour of a calmer display of the progressing time, the second hand is deliberately omitted. The minimal movement of the "C" only becomes visible on closer inspection - nevertheless, half or quarter minutes can be easily estimated.
