A rugged navigational instrument for today’s rough and ready world travellers. The bracelet of this superlative Chrono Automatic is formed of contrasting brushed and polished stainless steel 316L links and features a foldover brushed stainless steel 316L clasp. The bracelet meshes nicely with the moulded transparent clear plastic case. A polished stainless steel 316L ring holds the crystal glass caseback; a clear opening the shape of overlapping discs presents an unobstructed view of the intricate, fifteen-jewel movement within. Crown, chrono pushers and the bezel are fashioned of brushed stainless steel 316L; the bezel presents engraved dark blue Arabic numerals (01, 02 … 23 (‘24’ is orange); a clear sapphire glass protects the sun brushed blue dial. A white flange underlines the world traveller look with a ring of three-letter international airport codes (CDG, LAX, HKG, etc) in black or orange. Adjacent to the flange is a white-on-dark blue minute ring with orange deltas at hours 6 and 12. Shiny applique Arabic numerals indicate hours 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 on the dial; a black-on-white date aperture appears at 3 o’clock. The counters are framed by shiny applique bands with numerals in blue and orange; the 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock has a blue hand, the 6-hour counter at 6 o’clock has a shiny metal hand and the continuous seconds counter at 9 an orange hand. A slim orange central chrono seconds hand registers stop times, and shiny tapered hour and minute hands with white superlite highlights mark the time of day; the hour hand shows a small squelette aperture.
