QUICK SPECS - · Case: Solid 316L stainless steel case · Movement: Swiss ISA 8172/220 · Bracelet: Stainless Steel · Crystal : Sapphire · Case diameter: 46 mm not including crown, 50mm inc crown · Case thickness: 13mm · Weight: 169 grams including metal bracelet CONSTRUCTION + FINISH – Solid 316L stainless steel case fully polished with logo crown and 2 chrono pushers. BEZEL – Unidirectional with very precise movement and no play, nice deep red insert with silver markings.

CRYSTAL – Sapphire with AR Coating MOVEMENT - Swiss ISA 8172/220 with centre stop seconds hand (1/5 sec) intermediate timing, accumulated timing, and 30 minutes counter. Day on lower sub dial and Date display at 4 “0” clock. CASE BACK – Screw down type with 6 x lug holes engraved with Swiss logo WATER RESISTANCE – 100M HANDS –. Large sword type with plenty of lume, seconds hand with red tip and lume LUME – Decent Superluminova that glows nicely and tested it lasted right through the night unlike some lume that looks nuclear for a few hours then disappears. ACCURACY – Swiss ISA movement so expected to be 100% accurate STRAP - Supplied on solid stainless steel deployant bracelet with nice deep Swiss logo. PRESENTATION – Comes in a very nice leather effect case and outer box OVERALL – I was looking for something different for Xmas from the Mrs and found this large Swiss made chrono at a decent price. There are plenty of so called “Swiss Made Military” chronos out there but lots are about as Swiss as an iPhone! Hanowa has a long and genuine Swiss history founded in 1963. The dial is unusual and is complimented by the red bezel giving it a unique look. Build quality is great and size and weight wise it perfect for me.

BadPickle 2,747 Posted December 28, 2015 Does it have one of those thingies for getting a stone out from a horses hoof? Looks damn good mate, how does it wear? Looks a little top heavy for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted December 28, 2015 Wears fine PB its not very thick at 13mm and its not that heavy - compared to a Breitling Super Avenger its lightweight. And its not top heavy like a DSSD is in fact had it on earlier under my coat out walking my dog and forgot it was on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffy 105 Posted December 28, 2015 That looks great. A lot of styling cues from Tudor / Rolex, tastefully executed. Very nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
