Manero Centralchrono (10910.08)

This watch stands out for its central chronograph display, which makes elapsed time easy to read at a glance. It blends elegant design with an in-house automatic movement, offering both technical innovation and everyday wearability.

The Manero CentralChrono shows a clean, balanced dial with a deep black finish and sharp applied markers. Two central chronograph hands sweep the dial, which makes timing easy to read at a glance. The sub-dials sit neatly and keep the layout calm, while the date window at six o’clock adds daily usefulness. The stainless steel case feels solid and well finished, with polished and brushed surfaces that catch the light. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial and gives clear views from all angles. The steel bracelet looks refined and comfortable, with smooth links and a secure clasp.

Inside the watch sits an automatic chronograph movement made for Carl F. Bucherer. It uses a central chronograph system, which places the timing hands in the centre instead of small sub-dials. This design improves legibility and sets the watch apart from traditional chronographs. The movement winds itself through wrist motion and offers reliable daily performance. Through the transparent case back, you can see the rotor and neat finishing, which reflect the brand’s focus on technical quality.

The Manero CentralChrono line plays an important role in Carl F. Bucherer’s modern history. The brand introduced this model to show a new approach to chronograph design, combining classic style with a fresh technical idea. It helped strengthen the Manero collection as a bridge between tradition and innovation. Over time, the CentralChrono became known as a signature piece that shows the brand’s independence and quiet confidence in Swiss watchmaking.

The watch appears in very good condition. The case and bracelet show light surface marks from careful wear. The dial and crystal look clean, and the movement view shows no visible damage or corrosion.
