P42.HSR.1.4.002 – Swiss Made Skeleton Hand-Wound Watch 42 mm
The Palladium Skeleton P42.HSR.1.4.002 is a skeleton hand-wound watch for anyone who wants to visibly wear mechanical watchmaking art. In the striking 42 mm stainless steel case, a finely skeletonized hand-wound movement of the ETA 6497 type reveals its inner workings with gears, mainspring barrel, and balance wheel. The anthracite-colored skeletonization and the slender index ring ensure that the mechanics take center stage without compromising readability.
The movement is based on a traditional caliber that has been used in Swiss pocket watches since the 1950s and has now established itself as a robust, large-sized wristwatch movement. Winding is done classically via the crown, making every start-up a conscious moment – ideal for customers who value technology and ritual. The model bears the Swiss Made inscription, symbolizing development, assembly, and quality control in Switzerland.
Large-Format Mechanics – the Skeletonized ETA 6497
Inside, a skeletonized ETA 6497 hand-wound movement operates with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The generous dimensions of the caliber perfectly match the 42 mm case and provide ideal conditions for artistic skeletonization. Bridges and plates are crafted to reveal the gears and balance wheel, while stability and functionality are fully preserved. Thanks to the skeletonized construction and the anthracite finish, the movement appears technical, modern, and at the same time very classically horological.
The hand-winding emphasizes the character of this watch: Instead of relying on a rotor, each winding allows you to feel the direct connection to the spring and thus to the watch's power source. For lovers of mechanical timepieces, this is a clear statement – mechanics are in the foreground here, not electronics.
Case, Glass, and Wearing Comfort
The case is made of stainless steel with a diameter of 42 mm, making it consciously present on the wrist without appearing overly bulky. Thanks to the slim index ring and the open movement architecture, the watch looks airy and modern despite its size. The sapphire crystal on the front reliably protects against scratches and ensures that the view of the skeletonization remains clear permanently.
According to the manufacturer, the Palladium Skeleton is water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it robust against water in everyday life – from hand washing to rain and occasional swimming. The lug width of 22 mm allows for a wide selection of alternative straps, should you wish to change the appearance later.
Scope of Delivery and Features – Completely Thought Out
This skeleton watch is delivered in an elegant wooden box, which serves as both secure storage and high-quality gift packaging. Included in the scope of delivery are a second leather strap and a tool for changing straps, so you can easily change the strap yourself and adapt the watch's appearance to various occasions.

FAQ for the Palladium Skeleton P42.HSR.1.4.002
What is the difference between hand-wound and automatic?
This Palladium Skeleton UT Anthracite uses a hand-wound movement. The watch is wound manually via the crown and stores energy in the mainspring. There is no rotor as with an automatic watch. Many enthusiasts appreciate this manual ritual as a conscious piece of watchmaking culture.
Which wrists are suitable for the 42 mm size?
42 mm is more appealing to medium to stronger wrists or wearers who want to wear a consciously present watch. Thanks to the slim index ring and the skeletonized look, the model appears visually somewhat lighter than classic full-dial watches of the same size.
How water-resistant is the Palladium Skeleton?
The watch is designed to be water-resistant up to 100 meters. This provides everyday safety in rain, when washing hands, or during occasional swimming. For intensive water sports or diving, we still recommend specialized diving watches with a correspondingly higher classification.
How often should I wind the watch?
The installed hand-wound movement offers a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. In practice, this means: winding it once a day – ideally always at the same time of day – ensures stable running and a comfortable sense of time.
How suitable for everyday use is a skeleton watch?
Despite its open construction, this skeleton watch is very suitable for everyday use thanks to its stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and 100 m water resistance. As with any high-quality mechanical watch, strong impacts and heavy shocks should be avoided.
At what intervals is a service advisable?
For mechanical Swiss Made watches, a service interval of approximately 5 to 7 years has proven effective. During this time, the movement, lubrication, and seals are checked and replaced if necessary, so that the watch continues to run precisely and reliably in the long term.
