The Deep Sea Chrono - Cermet

 Nico already wrote a fantastic review on this watch and I don't need or try not to repeat his words, so I will keep this short and concise

What a great watch!

1. Strap: soft; comfortable; water has not affected it so far in any way. I have been told that it does not come in 20mm or else I would get one for my DSA. Nico, please ask JLC to make one for DSA!!!

2. The doom crystal merges with the rotating bezel "almost" seamlessly; in fact if I feel the doom along with the bezel, I can hardly feel the "gap". Great attention to detail and design

3. The chrono function indicator while at first seemed a bit "pointless" as the chrono second hand will tell me the status of the chrono ; however I realise that it is useful during activities, e.g. running, when I can only give it the quickest of glance to make sure of its status. In addition the red dot gives the watch a touch of sharpness; while the white keeps it "cooler"

4. Yes, it is cold and technical but not quite as much as the Navy Seals; it retains certain charm to it via its classic case shape; lugs; steel buttons without guards or locks; engraving on the push buttons; doom crystal; and faux-patina (for the other model). Of course it is not as sensual as the vintage chrono but then this watch is not meant to "compete" against it in this way

5. It is 44mm but wears smaller due to its sublime case profile; and it is very light thanks to the material used

6. Nice dots of lume on the bezel

And thats all I got time for......

Thanks for reading
