New addition - a less common Extreme World Chronograph

I have been walking circles around the Extreme World Chronographs for a pretty long time now. Actually didn't think I would ever get one. I like all the city names on a world time watch dial but I don't know if it is really of any practical use to me. It doesn't deal with summer time and it is pretty hard to read these dials.

However, I got this unusual boutique edition in my hand and on my wrist a couple of days ago and I haven't been able to take it off since. I have two other limited edition JLCs in platinum so this seemed like a natural addition.

Limited to only 30 pieces, it has grey instead of black dial colour and orange details instead of red and also Kuala Lumpur instead of Hong Kong as the GMT+8 city. Contrasts are not as good as on the normal black/red dial. You can easily read the time but it is harder to read the chrono subdials unless the light conditions are good. It comes on a black croc strap with additional orange rubber strap. Quite unusual. I love it!

Hope you like the pictures.

Cheers,
Johan
