Summary

  • CHF 40,400 buys Parmigiani Fleurier’s new Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Ultra-Cermet Mineral Blue, a permanent-collection addition that swaps the earlier monochrome look for a new blue-accented finish.
  • The 42.5mm chronograph keeps the line’s technical formula: a 72-component case with bezel, crown and pushers in Ultra-Cermet, a ceramic-titanium composite with about 40% titanium and roughly 1,450 Vickers hardness.
  • 100m water resistance and a matching Mineral Blue rubber strap position the watch as a sportier Tonda PF, while a Blackor-treated dial and blue subdials shift in tone with ambient light.
  • Inside, the COSC-certified PF070 automatic chronograph uses a column wheel and vertical clutch, runs at 36,000 vibrations per hour and delivers a 65-hour power reserve.
  • The launch extends a material push Parmigiani began in 2025, when it said it became the first manufacture to use Ultra-Cermet for nearly all of a watch’s external components.
