Frank Muller Saint-Ree Kerbex Master Banker Asia Limited Edition
Frank Muller’s Master Banker was once popular among professional men who travel and travel frequently with a multi-timezone feature that allows one replica watches to view three different timezones simultaneously. The most recently launched Master Banker series are Asia Exclusive models that are only sold in Asia. Let’s see it together.
The New Master Banker series is always presented in the iconic tonneau-shaped case of the brand named Cintrée Curvex. The case is made of two materials, steel and rose gold, with or without diamonds, and there are variations depending on the color combination of the dial. The case size also differs in size 36 x 50.4 x 9.3mm thick (large) and 39.6 x 55.4 x 11.8mm thick (extra large).
Commonly, over 20 layers of translucent lacquer and sunray-patterned black dial rests on a large reclining Arabic numeral index (aka Byzantine Numeral) that has been a signature of the brand since the days of Casablanca, its first collection launched in 1994. Each sub-dial located at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock displays the time in two different time zones at the same time. Of course, the central hand indicates the local time. Another advantage of the Master Banker series is that you can easily set up to three time zones and the date with one crown without a separate corrector. Each sub-dial is accented with different colors such as dark blue, brown, burgundy, green, and orange, and the strap color is also matched here, emphasizing a more casual and youthful impression compared to the previous generation Master Banker series.
All model movements, regardless of case size, are equipped with the MVD FM 2800-MBSC (frequency of 4 Hz, power reserve of 42 hours). This automatic caliber is based on the ETA 2892 and modified with a unique triple time zone complication module. The solid caseback does not expose the movement and is water resistant to 30m. The hand-finished multi-colored crocodile leather strap is fastened, and the buckle uses the same steel or rose gold pin buckle as the case material.
The Saint Tres Cervex Master Banker Asia Exclusive Edition is only available through replica Franck Muller boutiques and official retailers in Asia, such as Japan, Singapore, and Korea, and each piece is released as a limited edition, although the quantity is not set.
