Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono

Epic X Chrono is a line of men's chronographs in an X-shaped case from Jacob & Co, the brand founded by New York jeweller Jacob Arabo. Four bridges connect the bezel to the lugs, giving the silhouette a unified look. Many versions have a skeletonised dial that reveals the bridges and wheels of the movement, and a sapphire caseback shows the calibre from behind. A related collection is Epic X.

Within the line, the choice is made by case material and edition. Options include white ceramic with titanium, titanium with black DLC coating and forged carbon with titanium; case sizes are 47 or 44 mm. The Epic X Bugatti Chrono was created with the car maker Bugatti: its darkened dial carries a vertical stripe in the colours of the French tricolour and the Bugatti emblem. On the Epic X Chrono Tri Dial Green Camo, a camouflage pattern covers both the dial and the bezel, and the Epic X Chrono Messi Titanium is dedicated to Lionel Messi. The reference, together with the name, is the easiest way to compare closely related versions.
