Voutilainen X Leijona URHO CHRONO alias Toivo

Voutilainen X Leijona URHO CHRONO aka Toivo is a youthful, streamlined and sporty bi-compax chronograph watch. The watch is serial numbered. The watch has been given the additional name "Toivo", meaning hope in Finnish, to remind the wearer that there is always hope. The look of the watch dates back to the 1970s, a new era in the world after the difficult war years, and features large buttons, two separate screens for timekeeping and a slightly oversized seconds display, reminiscent of old chronograph clocks. The lumination is hand-finished and the blue embroidered leather strap has the perforations typical of old sports watch straps. The Urho was created in collaboration between master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen and the Perkko Oy-owned Leijona watch brand in Switzerland, and the 42 mm wide case houses a Sellita SW510 BH automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve.

Founded in 1918, Perkko Oy has been importing Swiss-made Lion watches to Finland since its inception and has been involved in the creation of one of Finland's most respected and loved watch brands. The Urho watch is named after one of Perko's founding brothers, goldsmith Urho Perko. The blue colour of this watch is Vuotilainen's favourite colour and the blue colour has a special meaning for Finns.; our blue cross flags, clear blue lakes and clear skies. Just the right shade of blue has been found on this watch by the Voutilainen factory.
