For the 225th anniversary of Australia Day celebration
on the 26th of January, 2013, Louis Moinet has launched a special Geograph: Australian Edition. This limited-edition
chronograph of 30 pieces pays tribute to icons of Australia: Captain James
Cook, the Southern Cross and the colours of the national flag.
Geograph: Australian
Edition by Louis Moinet is an elegant yet robust two-pusher automatic
chronograph with a second time zone.
The red, white and blue of
the dial as well as the star-shaped small seconds hand at 9
o’clock evoke the Australian flag, while six stars engraved on the
case-back represent the flag’s Southern Cross constellation.
Engravings of a map and a sailing ship on the lower
part of the case-back pay tribute to nautical explorer Captain James Cook, the
first European to extensively explore and chart the eastern coastline of
Australia.
