Amvox2 Chronograph Racing
Hi All,
Yesterday I was walking downtown and noted something special in a window display. As the title of this post suggests it was the Amvox2 Chronograph Racing, the PVD Titanium version. So I walked in to see it for myself.
A good choice as it turned out to be a great watch. It looks even more stunning in real than on a picture.
And you always learn something new. I always thought the glass moved when pressing it to operate the chronograph. In fact the case consists of two parts where the inner part moves inside the outer part. Great! And a very smart option. The switch to turn on and off the chronograph also has a reset protection. So you can start, stop and restart the watch but not reset it.
It looks quite heavy when it is laying in front of you. Probably due to its size and 'prototype' look. Then when you pick it up it is amazingly light. This makes it sit very nicely on the wrist.
The dial is a piece of art. You actually see the start/stop and reset mechanism work when you press the glass. The subdial discs move nicely and have a great look compared to hands on a normal chronograph. But then, this isn't a normal chronograph!
A winner in my book!
Cheers! Rik
