Daniel Roth Masters Chronograph Ref. S247 – Yellow Dial, Stainless Steel, El Primero

A rare and highly charismatic Daniel Roth chronograph reference S247, distinguished by the maison’s signature double-ellipse stainless steel case, vivid yellow dial, and automatic Zenith El Primero movement.

Description

Offered here is a rare Daniel Roth Masters Chronograph, reference S247, a highly distinctive piece from one of the most important names in modern independent Swiss watchmaking. Instantly recognizable by its elegant double-ellipse case design, this model captures the refined yet unconventional aesthetic that made Daniel Roth’s early work so collectible among enthusiasts of independent horology.

What sets this example apart is its especially striking dial configuration. The vivid yellow dial gives the watch a bold and uncommon presence, while the black Roman numerals, tri-compax chronograph layout, and angled date aperture at 4:30 create a composition that is both playful and sophisticated. The contrast of the bright dial with the blue strap further enhances the watch’s visual impact, making it an unusually expressive example of the reference.

Housed in stainless steel and powered by the celebrated automatic Zenith El Primero caliber, the watch combines high-quality mechanical pedigree with unmistakable design character. Produced in small numbers beginning around the mid-1990s, the reference S247 remains a particularly appealing choice for collectors seeking rare Daniel Roth models with strong individuality and recognizable period appeal.
