Brellum Brings Its Black Pandial Power Reserve Chronometer Into Steel

Brellum’s latest Pandial keeps the collection’s darker, instrument-style personality but changes the way it wears.

Instead of the fully coated titanium treatment, the new Pandial Power Reserve Chronometer LE Black uses stainless steel for the case and bracelet, giving the watch a more traditional sports-chronograph presence while retaining the black dial architecture and DLC bezel.

For a small independent maker that limits annual production to 299 watches, a 33-piece steel edition is a tightly focused release.

At a glance

A darker Pandial with a steel frame

The Pandial line is Brellum’s sportier chronograph family, defined by its tachymeter bezel, telemeter scale, date display and Valjoux 7750-derived automatic chronometer movement.

This edition keeps the black dial treatment seen on the black titanium version, but the switch to 316L stainless steel changes the character noticeably.

The case measures 43mm across and 11.7mm thick without its crystals, or 15.9mm overall once the box-shaped sapphire crystals are included.

Polished and satin-finished surfaces give the case some visual contrast, while the black DLC-coated tachymeter bezel ties it back to the dial.

As with Brellum’s Duobox-style construction, sapphire crystals are used front and back, with anti-reflective coating and anti-UV protection on the dial side.

Water resistance is rated to 100 metres, which suits the watch’s sports-chronograph positioning without pushing it into dive-watch territory.

The dial is busy, but deliberately arranged

The black dial has several layers and plenty of information, yet the layout follows the familiar architecture of a 7750-based chronograph.

Running seconds sits at 9 o’clock, the 30-minute chronograph counter is placed at 12 o’clock, and the 12-hour totaliser occupies 6 o’clock with the date window integrated into that lower subdial.

The power-reserve indicator is positioned at 3 o’clock, giving the dial its defining complication beyond the chronograph itself.

A telemeter scale is printed around the rehaut, adding another technical detail without crowding the central dial further.

Diamond-cut polished indices and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova, while small red accents on the chronograph seconds hand and power-reserve display bring a measured flash of colour.

The result isn’t minimalist, and it isn’t trying to be.

It’s a functional, layered chronograph dial aimed at collectors who like visible mechanical information and a more technical aesthetic.

The BR-750RM calibre stays central to the appeal

Inside is Brellum’s BR-750RM, an automatic COSC-certified chronometer based on the Valjoux 7750.

The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, uses 25 jewels and delivers a 46-hour power reserve.

Through the domed sapphire caseback, the calibre shows Brellum’s familiar finishing approach, including perlage, Geneva stripes and blued screws.

The rotor is individually numbered, which fits the limited-edition nature of the watch.

The five-link stainless-steel bracelet continues the mixed polished and satin-finished treatment of the case and closes with a deployment clasp.

Details & Specifications

The new steel Pandial Power Reserve Chronometer LE Black should speak to buyers who want an independent Swiss chronograph with proper certification, visible mechanics and a compact production run, but prefer the weight and presence of steel over a fully blacked-out titanium case.
