Design and Case Architecture
The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Steel Silver Verzasca is housed in a 42 mm stainless steel case, 12.9 mm thick, combining polished and satin-finished surfaces. A knurled bezel frames the dial and anchors the watch within the Tonda PF Sport design language, giving it a sport-oriented but restrained presence on the wrist.
A 6.5 mm screwed-in crown works with the chronograph pushers to emphasise functionality while preserving a streamlined profile. Sapphire glass is used front and back; on the dial side, ARunic anti-reflective sapphire enhances legibility, while the sapphire case back is engraved with the serial number, “SWISS MADE”, “PARMIGIANI FLEURIER” and “36 000 Alt/h”, highlighting the high frequency of the movement. Water resistance to 100 m ensures the piece is suited to daily wear and light aquatic activities.
Dial, Hands and the Verzasca Aesthetic
The dial combines a Silver base with a “Verzasca” hue for a distinctive two-tone effect. Clou triangulaire guilloché brings texture and depth, particularly within the chronograph and small seconds counters, and reinforces the visual identity of the Tonda PF Sport line.
Applied 18ct gold rhodium-plated indices with black luminescent coating mark the hours. They are paired with skeletonized delta-shaped hour and minute hands, also in 18ct gold, rhodium-plated and treated with black luminescent material for low-light readability. The chronograph and small seconds indications are handled by rhodium-plated steel hands, clearly separating timekeeping and timing functions while keeping the dial balanced.
PF070 High-Frequency Manufacture Chronograph
Inside the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Steel Silver Verzasca beats the PF070, a COSC-certified automatic manufacture calibre with integrated chronograph. It runs at 36 000 vibrations per hour, or 5 Hz, enabling precise measurement of short intervals while maintaining stable timekeeping. The movement offers a 65-hour power reserve and is constructed from 288 components with 42 jewels, reflecting a compact, engineered approach to high-frequency chronograph design.
Finishing is executed to a high standard, with satin-finished, openworked bridges that are hand-bevelled to reveal the mechanical layers without sacrificing rigidity. A skeletonized oscillating weight in 22ct rose gold provides automatic winding and combines polished and sandblasted surfaces for visual contrast through the sapphire back. The quoted diameter of 30.6 mm and thickness of 6.95 mm underscore the integration of the chronograph within the automatic calibre.
Sports-Oriented Details and Daily Wear
A rubber strap in a “Verzasca” hue continues the dial tones and positions the watch clearly within the sports chronograph segment. It is secured by a stainless steel folding clasp that offers adjustment and a secure fit.
The display focuses on essentials: hours, minutes, small seconds and chronograph, supported by 100 m water resistance, a screwed-in crown and robust steel construction. Guilloché decoration, gold appliques and the finishing of the PF070 movement link these practical features to the traditions of Swiss fine watchmaking.
