Starting in the late '60s the Chronolmpics were loaded with manually wound calibers and moved on to automatic, electronic, and even digital modules in the latter part of the '70s. I'm focusing on the Chronolympic line of watches, the brand's line of chronographs. You can get even more in the weeds with this surprisingly storied brand, and since we are who we are, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

The full yellow circle meant the chronograph was engaged, half yellow circle meant the chronograph was paused, and the full black circle meant the chronograph was disengaged.Ĭertina has a long and interesting history and my friend and former roommate Logan Baker did a fantastic job of outlining all that here. To resolve this issue, they added a window at six. The caveat to this seemingly great idea was that because it's in "slow motion", it was difficult to actually know whether the chronograph hand was moving or not. This allows the diver to very easily read the lapsed time of how long they have been underwater. It's actually a "slow" chronograph hand meaning that it rotates once every 60 minutes instead of 60 seconds. But once you start the chronograph, you will immediately notice that something is not quite right. At a quick glance, the watch looks like a normal chronograph with a large square luminous tip. The most interesting feature is the "Slow Motion" chronograph hand. The striking black and white motif with the now creamy patina on the lume makes the watch stunning even from far away.
It's big and bold and fitted in a stainless steel case measuring around 42mm. 2005 we have here today was released in 1964, and it is the automatic version of the earlier Ref.
