RONDA startech 3500 on the market

Created by Lausen/Switzerland, 8 March 2012

Strong demand for the new “Startech 3500” chronographs

Ronda launched its “Startech 3500” line – the first-ever Swiss Made quartz chronographs with counters at the 6–9–12 o’clock or the 6–12 o’clock positions – last year. The new function layouts proved immediately popular among watch manufacturers, who were well aware of the opportunities offered to create further new-look models.   An additional advantage of the “Startech 3500” range is its 10½ x 11½’’’ size combined with the placement of the counters well away from the centre – a layout that offers considerable design scope for small ladies’ watches and men’s watch models alike. Both the movements in the “Startech 3500” range feature a conventional calendar window and a small second. The three-eye caliber 3540.D is equipped with separate 30-minute and 10-hour/tenth-of-a-second counters, while the two-eye caliber 3520.D offers a dual-chronograph counter for 30-minute and 12-hour periods.

Ronda has experienced strong demand for these smallest chronographs in its range and production capacity is being increased in response.
