A Study in Contrast and Detail
Contemporary Design, Distinctive Character
The Angelus La Fabrique Chronographe Tachymètre Steel Grey demonstrates how considered colour combinations and intricate case construction can transform a traditional chronograph into a contemporary statement. Its pearl-grey dial creates a subtle foundation for the petrol-blue flange and counters, while contrasting textures introduce depth without compromising legibility.
The 37mm stainless steel case is equally distinctive, featuring a gently curved case band and sculpted lugs that sweep downwards, creating a fluid silhouette from every angle. Measuring just 9.25 mm thick, the watch achieves an elegant profile while accommodating the sophisticated A5000 mechanical chronograph movement. Limited to 50 pieces, this edition brings a cooler, more contemporary aesthetic to the Angelus La Fabrique collection, balancing expressive design with the precision of traditional Swiss watchmaking.

Angelus La Fabrique Chronographe Tachymètre Steel Grey FAQs
The Angelus Chronographe Tachymètre Steel Grey features a distinctive combination of pearl-grey and petrol-blue tones, creating a refined contrast across the dial. Its grained central surface introduces a soft, textured finish, while the finely snailed chronograph counters add a more intricate decorative element. Black-finished applied hour markers and Arabic numerals provide definition against the lighter background. Together, these details create a balanced, highly considered dial design that distinguishes the Steel Grey edition from the other models in the Chronographe Tachymètre collection.
The watch features a 37 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of just 9.25 mm, making it one of the most compact designs in Angelus' contemporary collections. Its construction is characterised by a curved case band that extends between the lugs, creating a continuous architectural line. The lugs themselves sweep downwards and appear to twist along the case sides, adding visual complexity to the otherwise restrained silhouette. A box-shaped sapphire crystal reinforces the watch's vintage-inspired proportions while providing modern scratch resistance.
The Angelus A5000 manual-winding calibre measures just 4.20 mm thick, allowing the Chronographe Tachymètre Steel Grey to maintain its compact case dimensions without sacrificing mechanical sophistication. Its traditional column-wheel chronograph construction and horizontal clutch are integrated into a movement measuring 24 mm in diameter. Operating at a frequency of 3 Hz, the calibre contains 23 jewels and delivers a 42-hour power reserve. The absence of an automatic winding rotor also allows its carefully finished movement architecture to remain visible through the sapphire crystal case back.
With its 37 mm stainless steel case, slim 9.25 mm profile and blue calfskin leather strap, the Angelus Chronographe Tachymètre Steel Grey offers comfortable proportions suited to a variety of occasions. Its analogue display incorporates hours, minutes and chronograph functionality, alongside a tachymeter scale for measuring speed. The watch is fitted with sapphire crystals and offers 30 metres of water resistance, making it suitable for occasional splashes but not swimming or prolonged water exposure. As a limited edition of just 50 pieces, it also offers particular appeal to collectors seeking a distinctive mechanical chronograph.
