A High-Frequency Sports Chronograph

At the heart of the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Steel – Silver Verzasca is the PF070, a COSC-certified automatic manufacture movement with an integrated chronograph. Operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour, or 5 Hz, it delivers precise timekeeping while maintaining a 65-hour power reserve within a 30.6 mm by 6.95 mm architecture of 288 components and 42 jewels.

The integrated construction makes the chronograph an intrinsic part of the movement rather than a modular add-on, supporting coherent architecture and a relatively slender profile. For the wearer, this means a chronograph suited to regular use, with proportions appropriate for a contemporary steel sports watch that can transition from daily wear to more formal settings.

Caliber PF070: Finishing and Architecture

Beyond its specifications, the PF070 stands out for its finishing. Satin-finished and openworked bridges allow light to penetrate the movement, emphasising its mechanical depth, while hand-bevelled edges define crisp lines around the moving components viewed through the sapphire caseback.

A skeletonized 22-carat rose-gold oscillating weight, combining polished and sandblasted surfaces, forms the visual centre of the movement. Its cut-out design preserves sufficient mass for efficient winding yet leaves much of the mechanism exposed, reinforcing a sense of depth in combination with the openworked bridges.

Steel Case and Functional Details

The watch is housed in a polished and satin-finished stainless-steel case measuring 42 mm in diameter and 12.9 mm in thickness. The contrast between surface treatments highlights the profile, while a knurled bezel frames the dial and underscores the sporting character. A screwed-in 6.5 mm crown contributes to 100-metre water resistance for confident wear in more active environments.

ARunic anti-reflective sapphire is used for the front crystal to reduce glare and enhance legibility. On the reverse, a sapphire caseback offers a clear view of the PF070 movement, with the surrounding metal engraved with the serial number, “SWISS MADE”, “PARMIGIANI FLEURIER” and “36 000 Alt/h”, capturing both origin and high-frequency performance.

Dial, Hands and Strap

The dial combines silver with a Verzasca hue that visually links to the strap. A clou triangulaire guilloché pattern animates the surface, creating texture and light play across the central display and sub-dials while maintaining clear separation between each indication.

Hand-applied indices in 18-carat gold, rhodium-plated and filled with black luminescent coating, mark the hours. The delta-shaped hour and minute hands, in skeletonized 18-carat gold and likewise rhodium-plated with black luminescent coating, are complemented by rhodium-plated steel chronograph and small-seconds hands for a coherent metallic palette.

A rubber strap in the same Verzasca hue completes the watch, linking case and dial to the wrist and reinforcing the sports orientation. Secured by a stainless-steel folding clasp, it is designed for stability and ease of use in line with the watch’s role as an everyday steel chronograph.
