Graham Chronofighter Vintage Special Series Vintage Ltd 2CVAV.B28A Replica Watch

Borrowing time: Graham Time Fighter Antique Aircraft Co., Ltd. Limited Edition

It can be said that many watches have a "military" appearance - the Panerai Luminor, the IWC Grand Pilot Watch and the Breitling Avenger Hurricane top replica watch immediately surfaced - but Graham Chronofighter takes its appearance to a new level. With its unique and so cool side-mounted timing trigger, it is not only for military use but also for military use. This is a watch that destroys war or at least air raids. Its name is "Fighter" because it shouts loudly. However, since I finally had the opportunity to put on a new Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft Ltd., this is one of the four timepieces in the limited edition, directly inspired by the classic military aircraft - I found it also has its own "invisible luxury "style.

These limited editions differ from the standard Chronofighter series in a number of factors, all of which have contributed to the retro look that influenced the period. The 44 mm case - including the stepped bezel and the start and stop chronograph, is made from Graham's "aging steel" and is treated with a gray PVD with a sleek, dim bronze appearance. Other long-standing developments include the insertion of an onion-shaped crown under the leverage mechanism, which is the hallmark of early pilot watches. The thin beige hour markers give age to the bronze; the rivet pattern on the dial recalls the body of the fighter aircraft in the military aviation industry.

There are four color schemes: My Review Watch - a working prototype that can be judged by the "000" series number on the dial - perhaps the most retro-looking in appearance, with a green highlight on the sunburst-shaped anthracite dial , including the central chronograph second hand, the scale on the minute hand, the minute hand and the external scale (the small second hand on the counter at 3 o'clock, the larger chronograph at 6 o'clock (up to 30 minutes). Clock) And the words "Graham" and "Chronofighter", Graham Chronofighter Vintage replica ,which are executed in elegant old-fashioned scripts.

There is a useful place at 9 o'clock, although it places double windows of date and date in an unconventional way. Pulling the crown out to the first position sets both at the same time: rotate up to set the date and rotate down to set the date. Quick correction and coordination of the two is very easy, letting you remember which direction to set which indicator; otherwise, you must cycle through the two processes. There is a fascinating snail pattern on the sub-dial, and one of the design choices - along with Asahi's cleanliness - raises the timepiece from the field of nostalgic tools to the field of sporty luxury.

The timing mechanism is very interesting, especially for beginners who have never been exposed to watches with this less elaborate timing mechanism. Press the joystick on the surface of the thumb and the joystick will engage the stopwatch with the dull metal snap, allowing the second hand to move up the dial and the smaller timing dial, thus recording the stop time on a minute-by-minute basis. For the former fighter pilots, this unusual mechanism (in the modern era) makes sense. They wear watches on their left wrists and often wear gloves. They need to be stable with their left hand while performing timing operations. Grab the control device of the aircraft. mens replica watch with their rights. The dial is also suitable for night flights, hands, time markers,

Inside the case of this wrist fighter is Graham's automatic movement G1747, which is fully publicly available and is a modified ETA Valjoux 7750, but is actually made by another Swiss movement manufacturer. La Joux-Perret owned by the Citizen Group. It has been rotated 180 degrees from its usual position to accommodate the timer button on the left (I think this also explains the date and date displayed on that side). Otherwise, the movement will provide the usual functions common to this popular basic calibre with timing: 28,800 vph, 42 hours of power reserve, and of course, the integrated chronograph is activated and stopped by the trigger, pusher And return to zero at 10 o'clock through the plunger button.

The movement is hidden under a sturdy bottom cover engraved with the floating engravings of the Royal Air Force Halifax and the limited edition number of the watch. Most people think that the lack of a sapphire viewing window in exchange for the visual representation of their watch's rarity and exclusivity is a worthwhile trade-off (although for other reasons, the other three colors do provide a clear bottom cover). Again, of course, the bottom cover of this old-fashioned pilot watch is certainly sturdy, despite the lack of decoration and finishing, which adds to the appeal of “ageing”.

Graham also uses the term "Aged" to describe the strap, which looks like any military item I've ever seen - olive canvas, black rubber lining, matching stitches, and simple The sturdy steel clasp reaches the climax engraved with the Graham logo.

From the perspective of comfort and comfort, people may think that there are two wearing problems in this watch, and both of them are wrong, I am happy to report to you. The start-stop trigger mechanism of the chronograph looks like it is causing severe damage to the fragile shirt cuff. It does nothing and can only slide comfortably underneath until it is activated. In fact, the size of the case is smaller than people think - especially with its unlimited size, compared to the 47 mm size of the big brother model. Another issue is versatility. In addition to wearing fatigue suits and field jackets, will this watch stand out like a sore thumb? No, actually, I found it to match the blue, gray and various earthy dress shirts and jackets. "Old steel" case and shiny dial,

All four versions of Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft Ltd. are limited to 250 pieces and are priced at $5,450. Wearing Panerai doesn't have to be a naval frogman, or to successfully complete Rolex Daytona's Formula 1 race, and striding out of the cockpit after a day of air combat is not a prerequisite for wearing this time, and wearing it. Decent. This watch is a warrior, but very happy.Corum Golden Bridge Golden replica
