echo/neutra – 1956 Solo 3H COPPA D’ORO – 2025

The 1956 series from the Italian brand echo/neutra pays homage to the VII Winter Olympic Games, held in 1956 in Cortina d'Ampezzo. This collection combines vintage aesthetics with modern watchmaking technologies and is designed for lovers of precise craftsmanship and timeless design.

The design of the 1956 series draws inspiration from 1950s watches, reflected in the use of vintage elements such as ceramic bezels, distinctive indices, and hands with old radium luminescence (on some models). The telemetric scale on the chronograph bezel allows for distance measurement based on the difference between light and sound phenomena, a function with historical significance.

The 1956 series is an ideal choice for those seeking a combination of classic design with modern watchmaking technologies. Each model is meticulously crafted with attention to detail and offers a high level of comfort and reliability.

The echo/neutra brand emerged from the passionate vision of two Italian friends – Nicola Callegaro and Cristiano Quaglia. With their background in design and engineering, they decided to create a watchmaking brand that would reflect Italian roots, combine timeless aesthetics with modern functionality, and honor quality without compromise.

"We believe in beauty that is not subject to trends. We reject the throwaway culture. Every product has its energy and value – it becomes an everyday companion that lives and ages with us," explains Nicola Callegaro, outlining the brand's philosophy.

Echo/neutra watches are made from high-quality materials, including Swiss movements, and are distinguished by clean lines, minimalist design, and an emphasis on function. They draw inspiration from classic mid-20th-century models, which is evident, for example, in the Cortina 1956 Hand-Wound Chronograph – a chronograph with the spirit of the automotive world of the 50s and 60s.
