Hi Pplater

This is the response for your question (words in bracket are mine) :

"Since the word TACHYMETER is not an existing word, we decided to use the official English (I checked the Oxford online-dictionary, indeed the word was not found) translation which is TACHOMETER or the French translation which is TACHYMETRE.
We do not use anymore TACHYMETER since we can not find this word in a dictionary."


I hope this answer your question.

Thomas, thanks for the picture - we are indeed talking about the same watch. Kong, thanks for the comfort - however, did your contact explain why Chopard changed the spelling mid-series? Cheers, pplater
