, this piece elegantly plays with blue and gray just like the new release. Where the two models differ, though, is their movements. The former runs on a self-winding movement while the latter is powered by a hand-wound movement.
Located in the heart of the new tourbillon, the Calibre 569 is composed of 542 components. The movement oscillates at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and has a 50-hour power reserve. It is also equipped with a silicon balance spring and silicon elements in the inverted in-line lever escapement to ensure it’s resistant to both corrosion and magnetic fields. You can view it in action via the watch’s sapphire crystal caseback.
