Neva Chrono Green

The new NEVA CHRONO by “Alexander Shorokhoff”

In 2021, Alexander Shorokhov presented the new model "NEVA", which he designed during a business trip to Saint Petersburg. He was inspired by the mighty and most water-rich European river, the Neva. This is a 74 km long river in Russia that flows from Lake Ladoga into the Neva Bay of the Baltic Sea, crossing Saint Petersburg.

This inspiration gave rise to the wave-shaped guilloché finish on the dial and the new model featured a colourful palette of many different finishes with dials in blue, yellow, red, silver and green. These new NEVA models established themselves as the perfect entry-level models for a high-quality mechanical watch from Alexander Shorokhoff.

Many of the models are now sold out, which also speaks for the small number of models at the time, and so Alexander Shorokhov decided to expand this, for him, rather classic line and breathe new life into an automatic chronograph version.

The wave-shaped guilloché pattern on the dial is also incorporated into the chronographs. This is transferred to the upper and slightly smaller dial. The hour markers are punched out there.

The small curved second hand in the shape of the letter "N", which is also a must in this version, refers to the name of the watch, as well as to the splendor of the city of St. Petersburg through its curved shape. The silver-colored hands create a brilliant contrast to the colorful appearance of the dial and thus make it easier to read the time. Overall, the new chronograph "NEVA CHRONO" will be available in three different colors: BLUE, GREEN and RED.

Otherwise, the beautiful automatic chronograph offers the well-known features of the Avantgarde line: the large number 60, the silver-colored "Alexander Shorokhoff" lettering, which this time is presented as an appliqué, and a pressure resistance of up to 5 bar. The 43.5 millimeter wide and 14.4 millimeter high stainless steel case houses the hand-engraved and refined caliber 2030.AS (based on 2030 Dubouis Depraz) with a hand-engraved and refined rotor and, as always, offers a stop and summing function at 9 o'clock.

The fine crocodile or calfskin straps are colour-coordinated with the dials. Each model is limited to 100 pieces.
