1815 was the year the chronograph technique was invented — and the first watch ever designed in the Skov Andersen collection, which would become AV86, could be named nothing else. The 1815 Chronograph is the watch that started everything: the original, the bestseller, the reference that has sat at the top of the sales chart since it launched. Royal blue chronograph hand details. A white dial designed for immediate readability. Two vertical subdials at 12H and 6H — seconds above, 12-hour totalizer below — keeping the layout clean and the intent clear. Every caseback is individually engraved with a unique serial number.

The 41mm case is machined from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel from Finland — the same grade used in surgery and fine jewellery worldwide for its long-term corrosion resistance and skin safety. Domed sapphire crystal scores 9 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale: only materials that match or exceed that hardness can scratch it, which in everyday life is essentially nothing. Double anti-reflective coating for a clear view in any light. Movement: Miyota 6S11 quartz chronograph, ±20 seconds per month, 3–4 year battery life. 5 ATM water resistance.
