A brand with high self-assuredness like DAMASKO must not shy away from displaying a reminiscence to a genuine classic watch at times. The vertical tri-compax arrangement of the totalisers cites the natural arrangement of a Valjoux 7750 calibre. Developed in 1973, the Valjoux 7750 is built into watches to this day and is among the most successful modern mechanical chronograph calibres in Swiss watch history. The discreet, elegant 40mm chronographs of the DC57 series from DAMASKO combine this historical citation with its high-precision inner workings to create a new classic.

Purchased new from Gnomon watches in March 2025. Comes with original leather band (un-worn), USA-made Craft and Lore Zulu leather strap with matching PVD hardware, and three CNS straps with matching PVD hardware.
