Duxot’s current Vitesse colors make a decent compact chronograph package

The Vitesse looks pretty good in the black-and-silver version. I like the lighter counters and the size, and the overall shape is familiar enough that I can imagine wearing it without needing to build an outfit around the watch. The two-tone versions are less convincing to me. Across this current group, I'm at 85 out of 120 bezel clicks.

Duxot's current page marks these five executions as new, and they appeared in a November 12, 2026 roundup. The DX-2072 line itself is older. The exact introduction date of each current color isn't established, so this page isn't calling the whole Vitesse family a brand-new release.

A familiar shape at a manageable size

The 39 mm case and 46.6 mm lug-to-lug measurement are appealing. A chronograph can look fairly compact from straight ahead and still have pushers or long lugs that make it feel much larger. I'd want to try this one before promising anything about fit, but the listed dimensions are a useful starting point.

Eclipse Slate, Radial Blue and Copper Rust give the steel versions fairly different moods. I would probably choose Eclipse Slate because the light counters have such a clear outline against the darker dial. Copper Rust is more unusual, and I can see why someone would choose it to get away from the usual blue or black.

Royal Oxford and Sable Precision add two-tone treatments. I find those combinations busier, especially once the bezel, pushers and bracelet center links all bring another color into it. That doesn't make the steel versions less appealing; it just makes my choice within this family fairly easy.

Meca-quartz with sapphire

Duxot describes a Japanese meca-quartz chronograph, a flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 100 m water resistance. The exact movement calibre wasn't verified in the captured specification, so I wouldn't assign one just because another affordable chronograph uses it.

I like meca-quartz for this sort of watch. It can give you a chronograph display to play with without making the purchase depend on an expensive automatic mechanism. I would still want to operate the pushers, inspect the hand alignment and check the bracelet before deciding how good the complete package is.

The November 13 list prices are US$220 for Eclipse Slate, Radial Blue and Copper Rust, and $240 for Royal Oxford and Sable Precision. The page also advertises cart promotions; an uncompleted cart isn't a verified final price, and shipping or tax can change the total.

I would check current stock, return terms and the exact bracelet adjustment before ordering. At the listed price, the steel Eclipse Slate is the one I would want to see in person first.
