Description: Quartz and Tantalum are not the obvious movement and material for luxury sports watches.

At a time when shock resistant quartz animation was the choice for emerging sports watches, and steel the precious metal for Gerald Genta’s unique luxury form, enters the 56175TR – a tanalum and rose gold variegation more robust and opulent than both the former. An oft overlooked delineation due to its striking aesthetic: a dark blueish-grey warmed by golden rose. The caseworks longitudinally satinated features are uninterrupted throughout the tantalum dial, whose face is furnished by black-polished rose-gold baton-style indices and hour-second hands.

The 56175TR’s contrast of quartz drivetrain, tenastatic tantalum tasked, rose-gold beauty basked, and classic Genta caseform glamor is a strange balance of sophistication and strength. Whose charm persists and, being overlooked, wildly grows.

Our example today is expertly polished, the rose-gold bezel screws remain undisturbed and whose finish descends smoothly past the chamfered edge onto the caseflank. Each bracelet link tapers softly, retaining a thick material factory-feel presence.
