“Night and Day, You are the One…”

	More than Cole Porter lyrics to a beautiful song, these words are the perfect sentiment for Croton’s new sophisticated and feminine creation.
	The genuine black lizard strap holds onto the curved stainless steel case with iridescent black mother of pearl dial and applied numbers. Available in stainless steel, gold tone, rose tone or black IP plating, the ladies will love the day to evening transition of this De-Lovely time piece.

Easy to Love

is what I think about our ladies diamond zigzag
bezel beauty.

The petite rectangular case, just 18mm wide, presents a total of 30 set diamonds - 15 on each side – arranged in a triangular pattern framing the black or white dial with five diamonds and a white mother of pearl inset at the center.

The gold tone panther link bracelet is completed with a fold over clasp.

Ocean Blue (Gold, Black and Rose too)!

Color Croton’s new Swiss Chronomaster very exciting. The solid stainless steel 42mm round case harbors an exquisite mother of pearl dial in black or blue, with 3 MOP sub-dials in iridescent white, a date window at the 4 position, and applied white numerals and luminous hands.

The dial and all of its accoutrements are protected by a highly scratch resistant sapphire crystal. A coin edged bezel in blue, gold, black or rose IP Plating coordinates with the center links of the stainless steel bracelet ending in a push button deployant clasp.
The gold and rose tone versions have dial
	details in matching colors, while the black and blue versions have dial details in silver. This beautiful and dressy sport watch is water resistant to 330FT (10 ATM).

Another Swiss Chronomaster for your review
is also colorful and also new.

Protected by a sapphire crystal, the beautifully textured dial in black or yellow, with applied stick markers and luminous hands has a color coordinated second hand, ratchet bezel, and tachymeter to boot.

The textured screw down crown and pushers are sheltered by a fixed crown protector which looks great with the IP black textured links down the center of the bracelet. Our 316L surgical grade solid stainless steel watch has a double deployant butterfly clasp and is water resistant to 660FT (20 ATM).

“Tiger, tiger, burning bright, In the forests of the night”

Beautiful poetry to introduce our beautiful genuine gemstone dial and chevron link bracelet watch.

Available in silver tone with an Australian mosaic opal dial, or gold tone with genuine tigers’ eye dial, this stylish bracelet is one inch wide with clear crystals on either side of the textured links for a dramatic and bold statement.

With Arabic numbers at the 6 and 12 and applied markers at all other positions, the gemstone dial is like a framed work of art for all to see day or night.

Ionic Plating

Plating is the general name for surface covering techniques in which a metal is deposited onto a conductive surface.

Ionic Plating is a highly advanced dry plating process in which a beam of positive ions is projected towards and into the surface of the metal being plated. It is carried out in a partial vacuum and the ions diffuse into the surface layer of the metal. This is a strong and durable plating process that can be done in a variety of colors including: Gold-tone, Silver-tone, Rose, Blue, Black, etc.

Ionic plating is estimated to be equal to, on the conservative side, between three and five microns of gold plating and on the more optimistic side, ten microns.

Other names for Ionic Plating include: IP Plating, PVD (Physical vapor deposition), Swiss Plating and lifetime plating.
