Introducing: Brellum Pandial Bicompax Black DLC Ti Chronometer

Blerum is back with another limited edition watch, the Pandial Bicompax Black DLC Ti Chronometer. As you can see, we’ve added new case colors to the familiar case shape. This is also the brand’s second creation to use the chronometer-certified La Joux Perret movement.

Blerum focuses on small runs. Therefore, releases are made frequently. The latest models remind us of this summer’s creations. The Pandial Marina Bicompax Titanium Chronometer also had a titanium case and blue dial, but was finished in bright colors throughout. Today’s focus is on a darker, sportier watch with a nicely worn black coating.

Brellum Pandial Bicompax Black DLC Ti Chronometer

The Pandial Bicompax Black DLC Ti Chronometer uses the company’s 43.5 mm case. For this execution, Blerum chose to coat the grade 5 titanium case with black DLC. The external bezel with black aluminum tachymeter insert matches the pump pusher and large signed crown. A domed crystal seals the sides and allows the watch to achieve a 100 meter depth rating.

As for the case design, the watch’s lugs have bevels that slope towards the wrist. The latter detail is helpful considering the lug-to-lug dimension is 51.5 mm. It has a matte finish throughout, except for the underside of the bezel and the sides of the pushers. This means that watches that imitate ceramic look more expensive.

Similar to the previously reviewed Pandial Marina, this watch is lightweight at just 72 grams without the strap. Brellum lists the weight of the titanium push-button deployment clasp as 8 grams. As for the strap, black technical fabric is incorporated within the lugs.

Dark blue dial and black subdials

The Pandial Bicompax features a multi-colored dark blue dial. This is an alternating pattern of dark telemeter scales, bright areas with applied noctilucent index, and dark centers. In addition to Super-LumiNova, the polished metal hour markers and hands feature a subtle black stripe that matches the case. Next, there are raised concentric grained black subdials at 9 and 3 o’clock. These show the running seconds and half-hour registers, respectively. Finally, a white-on-black date wheel sits within a polished metal frame at the bottom of the dial.

Inside the Brellum BR-111

The Blerum BR-111 is a chronometer-certified La Joux Perret L100 automatic movement. The brand features Geneva stripes, blued screws and perlage. Above it is a black-coated rotor emblazoned with the individual LE number. In terms of specs, the BR-111 has column wheels, 28 jewels, and a power reserve of 60 hours.

handsome wrist

The Pandial Bicompax is not a small watch. Additionally, the BR-111 and two domed crystals make it fairly thin at 15.9 mm. Still, the case design and strap with curved ends make it a nice fit for medium to large wrists. Also, the black case and dark dial make the watch appear smaller than its size suggests.

limited in nature

Like all Brellum watches, the Pandial Bicompax is available in limited quantities. Only 46 numbered pieces of this model will be produced and will be sold exclusively on the Blerum website. The price is CHF 3,290, which is in line with other models from the brand. As I always mention, Blerum stands out because its owners are easy to reach and the watches offer nice touches like chronometer ratings and great finishes.
