The new [quartz chronograph](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyflake) version of this understated staple delivers an elevated sense of refinement and sophistication. More specifically, the updated model features a sporty checkerboard guilloché punched into the watch's dial, an anti-scratch sapphire crystal case, and a double Gancini symbol found beneath the date display and double counters. The Ferragamo Sapphire will be delivered in four versions, including two stainless steel butterfly iterations -- one equipped with gold mid links -- and two in black and navy colorways, both with rubber checkerboard straps. All four of the versions are delivered in a 41 mm size and equipped with a Ronda Z50 Quartz Chronograph.
