Record status
Individual type · partial
The Bovet Sportster C800 Meteorite is a high-end luxury chronograph wristwatch featuring an 18-karat yellow gold case. Its most distinctive element is the grayish circular dial crafted from meteorite mineral, which provides a unique, textured aesthetic.
The face is adorned with a combination of Arabic numerals and index markers, complemented by luminescent baton-style hands and a central seconds hand. The timepiece includes two chronograph sub-dials and a date window positioned at the 12 o'clock mark. Protected by a sapphire crystal, the watch is encased with a smooth bezel. A defining feature is the 12 o'clock crown position, flanked by chronograph pushers. The mechanical, automatic movement is visible through the exhibition case back, which highlights craftsmanship rendered in 22-karat rose gold.
It is secured to the wrist with a black leather strap featuring the brand's original hidden folding clasp. This functional chronograph represents the modern era of the Bovet Fleurier manufacture, emphasizing both luxury materials and traditional horological complexity.
