Whoa, a GMT subdial - now that's nice!! And with that orange hand (looks lumed too)!

That's the 24h subdial everyone wants on a chrono - bravo Damasko. Super clean, super legible.

edit: the website you mentioned says release date 09/2025

 

The new Damasko chronograph is the very first chrono combining a second time zone (GMT) with a stop second hand and jumping stop minute hand out of the center.
Had the pleasure to handle it when visiting Damasko three weeks ago.

Definitely would have been great if they included a hour counter for the chrono, it's kind of odd.

 

Too bad no 12h counter. But definitely the best design in years from Damasko
Finally nice fonts

 

Use the bezel to track elapsed hours

 

I like it a lot. Wonder about the pricing.

About no hours counter, a little bit of a bummer, but I honestly don't use my chronos to time anything for more than 2 hours. Between 1 and 2 hours is pretty easy to track, so that's not a problem with a 60 minute counter. I would probably use my phone to track anything longer for any level of precision.

 

For your convenience:
4’888 CHF (incl VAT) = € 5.280

 

Should make for a great watch if it’s not priced out in the stratosphere…..

 

See post #8

 

Nothing yet...

 

Looks lovely!

 

I should stop looking at this watch. It feels like I should buy it.

 

I hope one day Damasko would also offer casebacks without a full recital of all the watch’s features. Sometimes it starts to look ridiculous; even when the features are far from ridiculous. Just a discrete serial number would be more than enough. Or just nothing at all. And get the serial number somewhere tiny on a lug back. Like eg Omega. Engravings and embossings often are a place where dirt piles up. In my personal experience it sometimes leads to skin irritation and a rash. I even had this with a titanium embossed caseback. It’s not always linked to eg. nickel allergy.

 

Which models of Omega are you referring to? Aside from the display backed ones, they print a fair amount, including the Canapus and the statement related to the moon.

 

Looks amazing. A great toolwatch and while 43,8mm is quite large, I really like it.

 

Looks great !!

GMT on sub-dial is pretty cool. Pairs perfectly with small seconds.

I really like the bezel too - not too cluttered like many of their bezels. And it is functional - its the hour marker so there is really no need for a chrono hours sub-dial.

Nearly 44mm is huge though...........

 

I think they measure some of their diameters going off of the bezel. Like I know the DK4x line is listed as almost 42mm but the case itself is only 40mm (it uses the same case as the DK3x line). It's the bezel that adds a couple extra mm. Might be the same thing here too...

 

That’s right, the case itself is 42mm and about 50.4mm lug-to-lug.

 

Wow! Thanks for sharing this beauty 🖤

I was actually refering to the way Omega puts the serial numbers on their watches. They put them on the back of the lugs. Their caseback I also donˋt like that much.
I actually have a Speedmaster with an altered caseback to make the ring around the seahorse less high and sharp.

 

Everything but the size...again. It looks like the most practical pilot's watch invention since the GMT Master II. Too bad it's sized more appropriately for a gorilla than a pilot. (Banging head)

 

Will it be available without a bezel (and smaller) like the DC7X? And in steel or at least matte?

Would love to see one finished like the DC96.

When talking to Konrad Damasko there was no mention of a no bezel version, or a matte steel version. Anyway, time will tell, other DC8x models are available in black and matt steel.

 

This is a very cool watch. I think I’d be a buyer with slimmer dimensions. I wonder if my local AD has one. I might buy after seeing it in person.

Personally, I LOVE the elapsed minutes.

 

Your local AD hasn‘t got it yet. Market introduction is scheduled for September.

 

Has it a true GMT function? Meaning you can change the hour on the flight without stoping the watch.

 

I believe not, as the base movement is Valjoux 7750 family (such as 7754). 24 hr hand will be adjustable but not the local hour hand.

 

Another good looking Damasko

 

Wow, was on vacation and came back to this - What a great looking watch, starting to save my pennies now - ha. Is there another watch they are set to release as well, per their Instagram account, they say "Soon we will reveal the secret" and that appears to have an orange hand, which is different from the DC89.

I believe it is DF 20, there's a separate thread on it (with photos of course).

 

Has anyone heard any news on the roll-out?
