Citizen Campanola Minute Repeater

Citizen  Campanola timepieces are result of an extraordinary dedication of numerous artisans involved in creation of the premium watches. Every case, dial, movement and band is crafted and hand assembled by brand's master watchmakers whose expertise and extreme attention to the tinniest detail can be noticed at a first glance. In addition to exceptional craftsmanship and use of the finest material, a Campanola timepiece distinguishes itself from other premium watches by the chiming complication telling the time without looking at the watch.
The Campanola Minute Repeater is a Campanola in every aspect. It is a highly elegant men's watch notable for its complications. Like the name indicates, it features a minute repeater with delicate bell tones and perpetual calendar with two alarms. Timepieces with similar complications and functions commonly cost tens of thousands of dollars but the price the Campanola Minute Repeater is less than $4,000. The Campanola Minute Repeater is available in three different versions. The AH7050-06W model with maroon dial and maroon crocodile leather strap has a round stainless steel case with diameter 45 millimeters and large Roman numerals on the outer circle of the dial indicating hours. Small second counter is located at 3 o'clock, day display between 9 and 12 o'clock, month display between 6 and 7 o'clock and AM/PM between 4 and 5 o'clock, while the date is displayed on the inner dial. The Minute Repeater model AH7000-12A with silver dial and black crocodile strap at a first glance resembles the model AH7050-06W but there are several distinctive differences. The larger main dial with Arabic numerals indicates minutes instead of hours, while the small sub-dial at 3 o'clock aside small seconds indicates hours. The third model, Minute Repeater AH67000-04A distinguishes itself from other two models at the first sight by its square-shaped case. The position of the functions is more or less the same as in the model AH7000-12A: the main dial featuring Arabic numerals 5, 25, 30, 35, 55 and 60 indicates minutes, while the sub-dial at 15 minutes featuring Roman numerals displays both small seconds and hours. AM/PM is displayed between 20 and 25 minutes, month display is located between 30 and 35 minutes, and day display between 45 and 60 minutes. The inner dial - like in other two models indicates date. All Campanola Minute Repeater modes have dual curved sapphire crystal and are water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet).
