Introduced at a time when quartz movements were viewed as a more accurate companion to high end mechanical pieces and not the near death blow that they became, the Chronosplit represented the first digital, fully electronic watch in the world to also include a chronograph, when it arrived in 1975. The current example is from the second version of the model which arrived in 1977. The model was famously worn by Canadian driver Gilles Villeneuve and featured a second LCD panel in place of the former LED display.
