Urho Chrono
The Urho chronograph exudes the charm of speed and the aesthetics of the 1970s. The user of the Urho chronograph refuses to compromise on his style.
Urho is a 42 mm bi-compax chronograph, plus date at position six, with either black, white panda or blue dial. The stainless steel case is waterproof to 10ATM. It also has a sapphire window caseback for viewing the refined Sellita SW510 BHa calibre doing its job. Models offered with a brown, black or blue ventilated leather strap.
Background
Urho Chrono
Dimension and traditionalism. A watch with an emphasis on finished surfaces and edgy, complex details. Urho Chrono is for the ones, who are not afraid to cause a stir or fill the space with their personality.
The Urho Chrono collection is named after Urho Perkko, one of the founding brothers of Oy Perkko Ab. He was a highly skilled watchmaker, meticulous and conscious of his style choices.
No compromise on craftsmanship
Details
The Urho Chrono models have steel cases and are manufactured to the highest quality by the skilled staff at Voutilainen & Cattin SA. After the careful design process and rough machining, each watch case is polished and finished by hand at the Voutilainen & Cattin SA factory. The factory uses consistently top-quality steel.
Honouring the craftsmanship, all the dials in the collaboration are also made by the Swiss company, Comblémine SA, owned by Kari Voutilainen. The resulting finished surfaces, embossings, colours and details are a delight to behold up close. The luminous hour markers and hands, painted by hand, complete the look.

Finishing
Designing the case
The detailed watch dial also serves as a contrast to the rugged steel case made by Voutilainen & Cattin SA, finished with vertically and horizontally cut surfaces requiring exceptional skill.
Sellita SW510 BH
Automatic movement
The automatic movement is a Swiss Sellita SW510 BH, known as a faithful "work horse". When fully charged, the movement has a power reserve of about 48 hours. The time can be adjusted to the nearest second, as the second hand also stops when the crown is pulled out.
For the ones, who value time.
Voutilainen x Leijona
"When I do things that are important to me, time becomes meaningless. I don't count the hours. The value of time is the moment it stands in, and for me, that value is immeasurable. At that moment, time is completely in my own hands and I use it exactly as I see fit.
Using a watch only to measure the hours is a very linear way of thinking about time. Personally, I see the watch as a reminder that time is limited and that I should spend it on things that are important to me. Time is my personal property and I invest it exactly as I feel right."
The Voutilainen x Leijona partnership encourages you to seize the moment, be present in the moment and enjoy life's small pleasures and achievements.
