ChronoTheory & Co CTW-027-Blue description
The CHRONOTHEORY&Co AV-98 Strato Navy CTW-027-Blue debuted in 2025 as part of the brand’s inaugural release. This version features a blue polished lacquer dial with silver-colored applied Breguet numerals and matching hands.
The 42mm stainless steel case is produced by Kyowa Seiko and is inspired by vintage dress watches from the 1930s to 1950s. It is milled from a solid block of steel, with curved surfaces and planar lug tops executed without soldering. The case is finished using Zaratsu polishing and hand-finishing techniques to eliminate distortion. Water resistance is 6 ATM, with gaskets integrated at all structural junctions including the domed sapphire crystal.
Power comes from a manually wound 6498-1 CT EDITION, based on the ETA 6498-1 and extensively hand-finished by watchmaker Yutaro Iizuka. The movement features wide, polished bevels, proprietary half-circle Côtes de Genève, and 24K gold-plated bridges and plates. Polished steel components ensure a refined tactile winding experience.
The dial, manufactured by Shokosha, is made from a single piece of brass with an integrated small seconds register. Following lacquer coating and electroplating, the subdial is recessed via precision machining, replated, relacquered, and finally polished. The Breguet numerals and minute markers were designed in-house and reflect mid-century graphic styles.
The AV-98 Strato Navy is delivered on an alligator leather strap with a stainless steel deployant clasp. It is accompanied by a leather carrying case in place of a traditional presentation box. Warranty is 3 years.
