echo/neutra – 1956 White Chronograph

The 1956 series by the Italian brand echo/neutra pays tribute to the VII Winter Olympic Games, held in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1956. 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). A telemeter scale on the chronograph bezel allows for distance measurement based on the difference between a light and sound phenomenon, a feature 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 carefully 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 backgrounds in design and engineering, they decided to create a watch brand that would reflect Italian roots, combine timeless aesthetics with modern functionality, and uphold uncompromising quality.

"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, the brand's philosophy.

echo/neutra watches are made from high-quality materials, including Swiss movements, and feature clean lines, minimalist design, and an emphasis on function. They draw inspiration from classic models of the mid-20th century, as exemplified by the Cortina 1956 Hand-Wound Chronograph – a chronograph with the spirit of the automotive world of the 1950s and 60s.
