Pierre DeRoche recently introduced the SplitRock MDA Full-Black Chronograph at Baselworld 2009. Above is a photograph taken from the case at the Pierre DeRoche Basel booth. Below is the manufacture image. Both images are similar, although it appears there are a few subtle differences in the two dials. The version shown at Baselworld may not replica Omega 1501.30 watch have had a movement in it at the time. And the manufacture image is probably a rendered version. The final product may vary slightly. The Pierre DeRoche SplitRock MDA features a long rectangle case (46/ 31.6mm), made of stainless steel and coated with a scratch-resistant black PVD treatment.
The black finish is both polished and brushed. replica Omega 2210.50 watch The dial features a beautiful black guilloché pattern, black steel hands and black hour markers. A few red contrasts are thrown in to contrast with the dial (the medium date and chronograph hour and minutes hands). The hands and hour markers feature black Superluminova treatment. Audemars Piguet released a limited edition ROO earlier this year with the same type of luminous application here, so I am sure we will see it on more watches in the future.
At 6 o'clock is the chronograph, but unlike most chronographs, this one uses only one subdial. There are three concentric hands on the chronograph subdial. A chronograph hour, minute and seconds hand. If you look at the central replica Omega 2294.52 watch timekeeping hands you will notice there is not a seconds hand. That is because you have to read the seconds off the small seconds display that is part of the chronograph subdial. When you start the chronograph the small seconds function is temporarily deactivated so that hand can be used to count chronograph seconds. And that brings me to another unique design element - the chronograph pushpieces.
