DeWitt Academia Night Chronograph (detail)

Swiss watchmaker DeWitt has presented its new Academia Night Chronograph watch. Being in fact a spin-off of the wonderful Academia Chronograph Sequentiel series, the Academia Night features well-balanced dial with high level of night-time legibility and an intelligent-looking 43mm case crafted of white and rose gold.

Catering to the needs of the night-living part of the population, the DeWitt Academia Night Chronograph makes its point with the help of its watch dial coated with Superluminova in white and, you won’t believe it, dark, nearly-black colors. Combined, these two strontium aluminate based photoluminescents printed on the minute track and the minute and seconds counters make for a perfect night-time legibility.

The model, as you can see on the pictures, is available in two versions. One, with a rubber wrist-strap with gold folding clasps, features a white and rose gold case with rubber inserts. The second, coming with an alligator strap, is made entirely of 18-carat rose gold.
