This Krieger Velocita chronograph wristwatch is a sports timepiece featuring a 38mm stainless steel case with a screw-down crown and two chronograph pushers.Its design includes an off-white dial punctuated by three recessed copper-tone sub-dials and applied dot hour markers, with a date aperture located at the 4 o'clock position.
The dial layout is highly functional, incorporating an inner tachymeter scale for speed calculation and an outer rotating telemeter bezel. The watch is presented on an alligator-grain leather strap with a stainless steel pin buckle. Inscriptions on the dial include the brand name, the Swiss chronometer certification, and the water-resistance rating. The case back is engraved with various identifiers, including the model reference C 705 and a unique production number, alongside specifications for its 200-meter water resistance.
The overall aesthetic is utilitarian, blending stainless steel construction with copper-toned accents to provide a durable and technical instrument.
