The DC6X series, featuring a bi-directional rotating bezel, are sporty, refined 42mm chronographs powered by the Swiss Valjoux 7750 movement with a 60-minute stopwatch and a 12-hour totalizer function. Developed in 1973, the tried and tested Valjoux 7750 is a high precision movement built into watches to this day and is among the most successful modern mechanical chronograph calibres in Swiss watch history.

The DC6X's bead-blasted case is made from Damakso's special patented ice-hardened nickel-free stainless steel. This steel offers good corrosion resistance, and can be tempered up to 64 HRC/800Vickers which is four times the hardness of every other steel currently used in the watch industry. And this ice-hardened steel is used for the entire case, bezel, crown and pushers.

The hardened bezel is rotable in both directions and features a hardened bezel insert - scratch resistant and abrasion-resistant. The black bezel insert is treated with Damasko's patented DAMEST coating for added strength and scratch resistance. Precise positioning of the bezel is achieved by the use of three exact ceramic ball bearing elements submerged in specially made grooves. The scale on the bezel ring is not printed, as is conventional practice, but lasered in-house and filled with white multi-component paint. This prevents abrasion or chipping of the paint in the long-term. There is a sealed luminous bilight at the 12 o'clock position filled with a special red colored Luminova™ compound. The DC6X series comes with a 12-Hour dual-time bezel or a uni-directional 60-minute bezel. Please check bezel availability and specify with your order.

The watch is powered by a 25 jewel Swiss Valjoux 7750 TOP movement with 48 hour power reserve. This automatic chronograph movement is specially regulated and tested by Damasko to high precision. It is shockproof according to DIN 8308 and has the classic Valjoux arrangement with a 12-hour counter and 30-minute counter on sub-dials and a central 60-second counter.

All gaskets used in the case are made from Viton™ which offers a premium chemical resistance and is superior to most other materials used in the watch industry. The case has a screwed case back and is water resistant to 10 bar / 100 meters. It also features curved lugs for a more comfortable fit on various wrist sizes. A scratch resistant flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment ensures maximum readability of the dial in all lighting conditions. The matte aviator style dial is entirely coated with special luminous paint, Luminova™ C1 Grade X1 C1 white. It has matte black minute and hour indexes with a triangle index marker at the 12 o'clock position. The sword shaped hour and minute hands are also painted matte black. The seconds hand is painted in a matte black color. Another impressive fine detail to the dial is the day/date window which is located at an offset position below 3 o'clock axis and color coded to match the dial color. This ensures maximum visibility of the day/date with minimum visual interference from the hands.

The knurled screw-down crown and pushers use the patented DAMASKO crown and pusher system and can be used under water without any problem. The crown and pushers are hardened, screwed down and triple-sealed for maximum protection. In its screwed-down state, the setting stem is disengaged from the crown, ensuring that no pressure, impacts or vibrations are passed on to the piece. The patented DAMASKO lubricant cell supports the crown and pusher shafts and provides them with a fine film of lubricant, which lasts for many years.

Every Damasko watch with a solid case back features an important technical detail that is not obviously visible yet has a major effect on its accuracy under harsh conditions – the integrated anti-magnetic cage. Very few mechanical watches are equipped with this feature. The inner anti-magnetic cage provides anti-magnetic protection to 80,000 A/m or 100 mT.

A very comfortable black leather strap with contrast stitching and a signed bead-blasted buckle is included with the watch.
