The legendary accuracy of Dodane timepieces has been confirmed by the National Astronomical Observatory of Measuring Time of Besançon (France), borne out by the results of testing from 2006 to 2011. In fact, out of 200 total tests of which only 147 watches finished in the First Category of Chronometry since 2006, Dodane ranks first with 67 watches that have received this prestigious distinction.
In 2006, 2008 and 2010 Dodane achieved the first position in the examination process! In the other years, the brand ranked among the top five brands. Overall, Dodane has achieved the highest rank in accuracy according to Thermal Variations and in Rate Resumption.
A chronograph can be designated an “Observatory Chronometer” if it meets the strict standards of accuracy established by carrying over 15 consecutive days of testing that include testing in 5 positions and at different temperature settings. The uniqueness of this control lies in the fact that it applies only to a fully assembled watch unlike its Swiss counterpart, the COSC that merely tests non-cased movements. When a watch passes the Observatory’s stringent tests, it becomes certified as an Observatory Chronometer and receives a ‘Bulletin de Marche’ from the Observatory, confirming the performance of the movement in the actual watch itself.
Dodane’s high quality stems from years of demandingly precise production for the French Air Force where the tolerance for failure is zero. Every Dodane piece is a chronometer grade chronograph ready for the rigors of professional grade use. Dodane is one of the only brands today entrusted to produce exclusive chronographs not only for the unwavering standards of the military, but discerning watch enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
