“Chopard subsequently released a GMT version of this watch, known as the Pro One GMT Cadence. Limited to 1,000 pieces, this collaboration with the Cadence D35 regatta team was one of the first watches with a sapphire-capped bezel insert. The bezel featured deeply engraved luminescent numerals, matching the luminescence of the hands. Blackened hour markers stood in stark contrast to the brilliant white dial. The watch housed the manufacture caliber 96H24, a modified version of the 4.96 with the date relocated to the three-o’clock position and additional 24-hour functionality.
The Pro One GMT was also produced in a non-limited edition with a black dial, orange bezel numerals, orange minute markers, and orange luminescent paint on the GMT hand. Produced only until 2009, the Pro One series offered rugged functionality. These models still remain a phenomenal value proposition on the pre-owned market today.”

Watchprosite- Orange is warm and stimulating, evokes both emotions and appetite too. Orange also has long been associated with diving watches, be it orange dial, indices

“For the Pro One Cadence, not sure if you know how this Limited 1000pcs come about..... anyway just a short note:
A Brief About The L.U.C Pro One Cadence
Cadence is one of the racing teams in the regattas on Lake Geneva for the Decision 35s (D35).
D35 is a 35 feet long (10.81 metres) racing catamaran and built to a standard specification, consisting entirely of cutting edge technological materials enable it to maneuver in demanding sailing conditions with a top speed of 30 knots.
Four years ago, Chopard decided to support Cadence, owned by Jean-François Demole, a friend of Chopard Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele.
The crew has performed well and in the first race (on 12 to 13 May 2007) of the 2007 Challenge Julius Baer,the Grand Prix Chopard, Cadence finished fourth. After 10 races (ended in 30 September 2007), Team Cadence grabbed the overall 3rd position (out of 10 extremely competitive teams)!
