Story & heritage

The Heritage BiCompax Annual is one of Carl F. Bucherer’s clearest vintage-revival icons. Watch-industry coverage traces its inspiration to a Bucherer bicompax chronograph from 1956, while the official model preserves the two-register look with modern calendar functionality.

The current official edition is limited to 888 pieces and balances a tachymeter chronograph layout with annual calendar and big-date displays.

Materials & craft

The selected official model uses automatic CFB 1972, 47 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve. The 41 mm stainless-steel case has a double-domed sapphire crystal, sapphire back, steel bracelet with quick release and a complementary light-grey textile strap.

How to choose & style

Choose it for the strongest vintage CFB look: the silver dial and Arabic numerals suit denim, suede bombers and relaxed tailoring better than polished eveningwear.
