Switzerland The Portuguese Chronograph Rattrapante reference 3712 was first launched in 1992; it is fitted with the rattrapante mechanism as invented by Richard Habring and retains the typical design of the 'Portuguese family'. The Chronograph Rattrapante is distinguished by a third push-button for starting and stopping the split-seconds hand. Beyond the capabilities of a pure chronograph, this also enables a second short period of time to be measured with down-to-the-second accuracy. This Portuguese Chronograph Rattrapante catches the eye with an attractive pattern of matted and polished surface areas as well as a very clear and tidy dial with applied rose gold Arabic numerals and beautifully curved rose gold leaf hands. The blue drag pointer and the blue 30-minute-counter hand ensure easy readability.
