When you think about it...

What mechanical watch is really suited to be dropped? The answer really is none. You might say a watch like the Extreme Lab 2 addressed it, but with that watch when wishing to do something "Extreme", you lock up the entire escapement. That is great, it keeps everything safe, but essentially you also ceased the timekeeping. I hate to say it, but that's why a G-Shock is really the best when it comes to Military use.

Hope you're having a great Friday with that amazing 7097 of yours. That #1 on "the list"๐.

On the watch, all hands in orange relate to the chrono. Central axis is seconds and the minutes is represented with the airplane hand. The hours are down in the 6 o'clock subdial. The 9 o'clock subial is the running seconds for the time, and the 12 o'cloc...

I used to own one of these. The chronograph minute indication is very cool. The chronograph pushers are discrete. No one seems to care about it? Only because this movement (Lemania 5100 if I remember correctly) is no longer available. I dropped mine on th...

Very interesting and a piece of chronograph history.

The Lemania 5100 movement was a true work horse utilized by brands as Omega, Fortis, Sinn and Tutima. This was to my knowledge the only movement with stop seconds and minutes from the center. The pilar construction is ready to work with and robust, but no...
Water resistance?
By: Blesk : April 11th, 2020-20:54
Iโm guessing 3 ATM (30m) because of the pushers letting water in. That to me is the challenge with making a military watch - Chrono functions AND decent water resistance (100m to be able to take it down a few meters). But the Chrono is superb and the cent...

It's a shame there are not more as this is by far the most functional and legible way to go
