Today at SwissWatchExpo. We've got a wonderful watch to discuss
regarding people that are really fancy themselves as rugged adventurers. And
of course, I'm talking about the Breitling Chronospace Military GMT.
Like I said, we're going to be talking about this Breitling Chronospace. It is a Military GMT. And
I mentioned that it was for rugged adventurers. And I kind of want to dig into that because this
watch has not only a lot of wonderful features that can be used as a tool watch to help you
in an office environment, but also out in the field, doing whatever it is you may be doing.
Now, for starters, this is going to be a watch that's powered by a quartz movement,
but it is a Thermo compensated quartz movement, giving higher durability and
reliability and more extreme conditions. So the watch itself comes in a black steel case.
Of course, that is stainless steel, but with a black coating, you'll notice that it has the
same type of metal found on the Tang buckle as well as the bezel itself. And this watch,
although it is rugged, it is not super waterproof or water resistant as we call it here in America.
So the watch has a water resistance property up to 50 meters, but of course, we've kind of
talked or discussed that in the past that that's not necessarily that you want to swim 50 meters
below the surface with this watch it doesn't actually have a screw-down crown, something that
we commonly find on watches that are meant to be used under water. This is going to be more of a, a
splash proof watch, you know, if you were washing your hands or if you were hiking and fell into a
Creek or a river, you'd be able to get out and not worry about your watch, not functioning anymore.
Now it has a lot of great features that are built into it. You can probably pick up just by
looking at the dial. Not only does it have analog displays, but it also has an LCD, two LCD digital
displays. So there's a lot of functionality that goes into this watch outside of just telling you
what time it is. Of course it has the rotating bezel for calculations, but the watch goes way
deeper than that. It has a timer that you can set to they call it a hundred day timer, but it
really goes to 99 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and like 59.99 seconds. So we're a hundred of a second
off, but to me, that's a hundred day counter, you know, a timer. And of course it also has
the chronograph. So if you are counting down, you may use your timer. If you're counting up,
you can use the chronograph or stopwatch function It functions very similarly, top one starts stops
bottom resets, very similar to the way that most chronographs work out in the watch industry.
So you will notice though, when you do engage the chronograph that the second hand on the analog
will be spinning, but it actually keeps time on the second display down at the bottom. So it's
very easy for a quick reference. Now, one thing I do want to mention about those LCD displays,
they are backlit. So you are able to see them at night or in low light areas. If you're camping out
in the woods, sun's gone down, you don't have a flashlight. That's okay. If you're trying to
figure out something on your watch, not only will you have those LCD displays that are backlit,
but they also have the lume markers on the analog portion of the watch. Now I mentioned that it had
the timer and the chronograph. It also has an alarm, but it's not just some alarm that
you can set because this watch also has a GMT function where you can set a second time zone
And it actually has a second alarm built in for the GMT time zone. So a couple of different
ways to set your watch. Of course, if you're traveling, you can set your watch to let you
know what time it is, where you are or at home, or where a loved one is. Any way that
you would want to set this watch. Is it extremely resilient? It's very versatile and it's usability
and something that you could take with you anywhere in the world. It's got a very comfortable
strap that comes on it. It is a limited edition piece. We have one in stock right now here at
SwissWatchExpo. Definitely come check it out, get your hands on it before it's gone. And I
guess there is one other feature I'd like to mention - the sapphire crystal. So it does have
a Sapphire crystal. That's going to be harder, more rugged than the acrylic versions of the past,
but this one also has the anti-reflective coating on both sides. So again, if you're outside,
you've got the sun, that's a part of your environment and the conditions, and you don't
have to worry about any glare on your watch. Come check it out at SwissWatchExpo.com. Like,
