Just like the Xemex XE 5000 Ivory chronograph watch, the Doxa Ultraspeed is based on the standard Valjoux 7750 ETA caliber, but nevertheless features an additional complication of power reserve indicator located at the 3 o’clock. A rather small date window is placed between the 4 o’clock and the 5 o’clock marks. And there is also a standard 60 to 500 km/h tachymeter scale.
