Depancel Série-R Chronograph Ice Blue Edition

Depancel introduces a new 100-piece limited edition of its square chronograph, featuring a distinct ice-blue PVD dial inspired by the legendary coachwork of a 1947 Talbot-Lago. 

A dial inspired by exceptional coachbuilding

Some automobiles go beyond their purely mechanical function to become true rolling works of art. That is precisely what we felt when we discovered this 1947 Talbot-Lago T26, bodied by Figoni & Falaschi. Beyond its spectacular lines, it was the combination of the deep blue wings and the ice-blue shade of the bodywork that caught our attention. A dialogue between light, metal, colors and curves, which became the starting point for the dial of this Série-R Chronograph Ice Blue.

Coachbuilding as an art

Founded in 1935 in Boulogne-sur-Seine by Giuseppe Figoni and Ovidio Falaschi, Figoni & Falaschi established itself as one of the most singular names in pre-war French automobile design. Inspired by aeronautics, its creations are instantly recognizable for their flowing lines, enveloping wings, and sculpted volumes, where aerodynamics becomes a true aesthetic language.

A case paying tribute to classic grilles

The Série-R Chronograph Ice Blue adopts the singular architecture that defines the collection. Inspired by the vertical grilles of historic automobiles, its stainless steel case plays with taut lines and balanced volumes. Its finishes alternate between brushed and polished surfaces, revealing the full construction of the case as the light catches it. The vertical brushing on the top, at 6 and 12 o’clock, contrasts with the polished surfaces at 3 and 9 o’clock, highlighting the edges and depth of the overall design. The whole is topped with a bevelled sapphire crystal, harmoniously extending the lines of the case.

A reliable and precise automatic movement

This edition is powered by the Peacock SL-4801 calibre, a reliable and precise automatic chronograph movement offering a 55-hour power reserve. Visible through the transparent case back, it reveals its meticulous finishes and moving gears.

A balanced and elegant 13,3mm profile

Featuring sapphire glass and a 316L steel case, the Série-R Chronograph Ice Blue has a balanced and elegant 13,3mm profile (12,4mm without the glass) and 48,5mm from lug to lug. These carefully crafted proportions ensure natural comfort on the wrist and a bold presence.

A limited edition of 100 numbered pieces

This edition is limited and numbered to 100 pieces. It will never be produced again.

Every detail counts, right down to the packaging

An elegant box, a protective travel case, a 5-year warranty, each watch is delivered with meticulous attention to detail, in packaging designed to go the distance, and go with you everywhere.
