Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 with a quartz Certina I love the design of both iconic watches, but there aren't any decent reps out there and there's no way I can afford a gen of either of those two. I saw this a couple of weeks ago, while spending way too much time on WUS, this time in HAQ ( high accuracy quartz ) section. It's not your every day quartz, it's very accurate (+/- 10s/y ) and also thermo compensated and usually found in those expensive Breitling quartz watches. I like the design and color scheme, the size is just about right, AR on sapphire crystal is superb and I love the bracelet. It comes in a very nice presentation box. There are 7 other color options, but I really like this one. And you should see how the 1/100 s chrono hand resets to zero, it's unbelievable I'll post some more pics, these are only quick phone snaps. Oh, the model is DS-2 Precidrive chronograph.

Thommo82 1,397 Posted October 17, 2017 Just watched a quick video on the Chrono hands Very, very cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 It is, isn't it? Useless, but cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo82 1,397 Posted October 17, 2017 Watch in my video had electric green seconds hand and accents, I really liked the look of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 Yeah,that one is very popular and the LE panda dial is pretty cool too. I like this color combo quite a bit more, it reminds me of old Daytonas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo82 1,397 Posted October 17, 2017 You can buy me one for Christmas if you like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 I'd love that Here's the video from YouTube showing the chrono reset at about 50 sec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 The box is pretty cool too What I really don't like about this brand is the name...it makes me think about farming equipment.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 Maybe Fartina, that would match my style 100%. 1 hour ago, splke said: like that i am a child i also never seen the big chrono hand do the milli second thing I could do that all day long. Change the battery. Repeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikosaldente 630 Posted October 17, 2017 Nice find Ales! That Chrono function can be addictive.... Hahahaha! Enjoy wearing it in the best of health! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,870 Posted October 18, 2017 I really like that panda, like a Daytona and Moonie love child! I’d end up running that chrono a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 18, 2017 Thank you guys! Moonwatch/Daytona bastard was the first thing that came to mind when I first saw it. MoonTona or MoonDay, what shall we call it? Luckily I have a loony asylum period at work, otherwise I'd already be at watchsmiths' waiting for him to change the battery, that chrono is addictive! There is one thing that really surprised me in a negative way - no date quickset!!!! You have to turn the crown and move the independently moving hour hand to advance the date. Haven't seen that in a very long time.. Otherwise I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
