117 - T.O.T GIGN Chronograph / 1st Series – 2nd Prototype – 200 pieces, 2004 Project

T.O.T GIGN Chronograph / 1st Series – 2nd Prototype – 200 pieces, 2004 Project This now-legendary watch marked the beginning of the Time on Target (T.O.T.) brand’s journey. A project by Mr. René Bruyeron (a renowned engineer and the brand’s founder—this piece was part of his personal collection) and two enthusiasts who were members of this prestigious unit, this chronograph was intended for the GIGN unit and members of the GIGN association on the occasion of the unit’s 30th anniversary (celebrated on June 15, 2004). The name chosen for this watch was T.O.T. “Time On Target,” an English acronym representing the spirit of the unit and of this watch, and powerfully illustrating the concept of time. Large-aperture brushed steel case with a screw-down back and a sapphire crystal window (unmarked). Matte black dial with three ringed sub-dials: seconds at 9 o’clock with the GIGN logo, minutes at 12 o’clock, and hours and date window at 6 o’clock. Skeletonized hands and Luminova Arabic numerals for night visibility; large arrow-shaped seconds hand. Comes with 3 T.O.T. straps: a black pilot’s leather strap, a rubber pilot’s strap, and its steel bracelet with a folding clasp.
