The Solartech Chronos are out! Discover their advantages.
What is a multifunction movement?
Strictly speaking, we use the term multifunctional movement as soon as a timepiece offers other functions in addition to displaying the time. However, this definition can vary depending on the provider. At Ronda, we set the bar a bit higher and call the following extras multifunctions:
- Big date with direct switching
- Day-Date
- Weekday display
- Week display
- Month display
- Moon phase
- GMT or second time zone
- Tides
- Alarm
- Retrograde
If a movement has a chrono – i.e. a stop function – in addition to the multifunction, the chronograph defines the assignment.
The movement design defines the look of the multifunction
The complex multifunctions present 3 or 4 eyes on the dial; other models have 2 eyes or 1 eye. However, some functions are visually displayed differently; for example, the moon phases by a disc, the calendar week or tides by hands, or days by retrograde.
Our quartz multis are available in 8¾''', 10½''', 11½''', 12½''', 13¼''' and 15''' dimensions. Now you can find all multifunctions compactly in the Xtratech line; i.e. movements of the series 5xx, 7xx, 6000.B, 4000, 7000 as well as the series X.
