Outdoor enthusiasts are in for a treat as the latest Tonda PF Sport arrives in two variants, each featuring an integrated high-frequency manufacture movement and vertical clutch. While the design looks similar to the Tonda GT, what defines this collection is the textured hand-guilloché ‘triangular nail’ pattern with delta-shaped hands and the knurled bezel that delivers a stronger play of light and reflection that emphasise its sporty attitude. Moreover, both watches are equipped with a finely constructed and hand-stitched Cordura-treated rubber band with a seamless anchorage point between the lugs. On another note, the two models differ in terms of movement, with the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph powered by the PF070 calibre and the Tonda PF Sport Automatic fitted with the PF770 automatic winding manufacturing movement.
