Damasko DC98 Champagne
The Damasko DC98 Champagne is a modern chronograph that blends refined elegance with technical prowess. At its heart lies the in-house C51-6 chronograph calibre, a movement showcasing high-performance features including a central stop minute, 50-hour power reserve, silicon escape wheel, and a beautifully decorated rhodium-plated finish with perlage and Geneva stripes. Damasko’s commitment to functional precision is matched only by their eye for detail, and the DC98 delivers on both fronts.
The dial radiates with a luxurious champagne sunburst finish, setting the tone for a timepiece that exudes sophistication. Polished hour indices and faceted stick hands—partially filled with luminous material—add depth and clarity to the display. The dial layout features a central chronograph seconds and minutes hand, complemented by a small seconds subdial, 12-hour counter, 24-hour indication, and a date display. Despite its complexity, the layout remains remarkably legible.
Housed in an ice-hardened stainless steel case, the DC98 is built to withstand daily wear with ease. The case’s outer surfaces are satin-finished, while polished elements on the crown, pushers, and rotating bezel provide striking contrast. The bezel itself rotates bi-directionally and is both bead-blasted and polished for a dynamic visual effect. A double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment ensures the champagne dial always shines through.
In addition to its aesthetic and functional appeal, the DC98 includes a magnetic field cage for added protection, allowing the watch to maintain precise timekeeping in environments with high electromagnetic interference. Certified for reliability under vacuum and acceleration to military standards, this chronograph is engineered for performance and finished for those with discerning taste. The Damasko DC98 Champagne is a true statement piece—where elegant design meets mechanical mastery.
