The Chronometre Bleu, the ultimate in hype unfortunately. Despite that this watch remains my most favourite.
It was a fast favourite for me because it was so versatile, because of the size (both diameter and relative slimness of the case), the easy nature of the tantalum, and of course because of that dial.
And last but not least, as our moderator Christian has shared regarding his own Chronometre Souervain over the years, the CB also represents the purest form of Journe’s singular quest for precision. (It’s just that the CB most of this time gets defined first by its dial, and then the case material, and then the original “entry level price. And then finally it’s the calibre).
