Jean Todt, a legend in the world of racing cars and a founder of the brand, was the inspiration behind the design. The next few years marked a milestone in both the history of the company and the watchmaking sector. Omega Replica Watches wanted to create a watch that could keep track of speeds at extremes. Centigraphe Souverain's founder and his team managed to achieve this feat despite its 3 Hz movement, which means that the hand only moves six times per second. It is possible to stop a chronograph between 6 movements. This theoretically allows for extremely precise measurements.

The piece should also be able to track extreme speeds.Omega Replica Watches This problem can be solved quite easily. The elapsed times for each kilometer are measured and the speed is calculated using the tachometric dials.

Three counters and several patentsF.P. Journe Centigraphe Souverain has three chrono subdials. Each is made with a second hand. On the first sub-dial, at ten o'clock, is a flying pointer that completes one full rotation every second. The scale is divided into 100ths of a second. The period of rotation for the second one, which is at nine o'clock and has outer and interior tachometers scales for odd numbers and even numbers respectively, is 20 seconds. The hand at the bottom of the counter completes a full circle in 10 minutes. The scale is tachometric, with 20-second markers.

The model chosen to celebrate the decade of boutiques by the brand features several patents. One of these is the rocker on the side of case that replaces the push-pieces used to start, reset and stop the stopwatch feature. The rocker, once pressed, rotates the column wheel of the chronograph.

There is also a patented mechanism that uses a single mainspring which unwinds on both ends.Cartier Replica Watches This separates the chronograph function from the basic feature of the timekeeping of the watch. It is crucial because it ensures that the amplitude is maintained even when the stopwatch is active.

If the chronograph isn't activated, the manual-wound movement can store enough power to last for four days. The reserve will last for one day if the chronograph is activated.
