Chronofixe introduces the Chronofixe x Asterix Limited Edition, a meticulously crafted watch commemorating 65 years of Asterix’s adventures. Limited to 500 pieces, this model brings together vintage-inspired design with details that pay homage to the iconic Gaulish hero, all within a classic 316L stainless steel case.
A Design Rooted in Heritage
The Chronofixe x Asterix Limited Edition channels the aesthetic of mid-20th-century watchmaking, with its cushion-style case and polished yet robust construction. Crafted in 316L stainless steel, the watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a matte black dial, complemented by luminescent Roman numerals. Collaborating with Romaric André of Seconde/Seconde/, the design draws subtle nods to Asterix’s world, including Caesar’s laurel crown engraved on the crown. The rotating diver’s bezel, complete with Roman numerals, adds a touch of functionality while maintaining the watch’s retro charm.
The caseback showcases an engraving of Asterix himself, adding a personalized element to this collectible piece. Combined with an Art Deco-inspired dial, the watch offers a distinctive blend of heritage and subtle references to Asterix’s story, resulting in a watch that is both playful and refined.
