The Challenger Serie
With the Challenger Serie, TNT strove to produce a completely unique timepiece utilizing a few classic design
cues coupled with swiss new old stock movements modified to offer complications never before executed in a budget timepiece.
Within the Challenger serie you can find 3, all of them exclusive and limited.
The Design:
All Challengers shares their basic case design with other limited productions out of this serie.
The case is set to be 43mm in diameter, 54mm lug to lug, and 16mm in thickness, crafted from 316L steel.
Unique features include coin-edge detailing along the sides of the case, with angular fixed lugs protruding from the bottom edge.
The Bullhead arrangement of the Pushers gives this timepepiece a exciting look.
The Mechanism:
The beauty of the piece aside, the mechanical elements of the BULLHEAD are highly impressive in their own right. It has been previously proven in pieces that impressive high-horology complications can be crafted from industry swiss movements. TNT used a high quality RATTRAPANT modificated Valjoux 7750 in Chronometer Version.
The movement is decorated with Perlage and visible through a display back, the Rotor is sceletonized.
The dial is offered in black and “blueberry”, and features a multi subsidiary dial layout, with recessed chronograph registers at 3,6, and 9. (30 Minute, 12 Hour, and Subsidiary Seconds, respectively). The 12:00 register display the actual time with hours and minutes... The big hands in the Center are the Rattrapant Splitsecond.
The hands are baton style and like the hour markers, are finished with brown soft glowing Luminova (focus was here on design aspect and not on the Luminova power), giving the whole timepiece a great vintage look. Finishing off the design of the Luna, a black ceramic bezel with engraved numerals is affixed around the 3mm thick Borosilicate (read: Pyrex) crystal. Borosilicate has a hardness of 8 Mohs, which is almost the same level as sapphire crystal, but will not smudge as easily and has a high temperature resistance.
