swiss model 6-553.04.003

An older internet-account of mine is closing (I moved to another internet provider months ago) and thought it was time to clean up some files and folders. When doing so, I found out that I still had this Chronoswiss Regulateur Automatique review online. I moved it to another server, and it is available again for everybody.I wrote this about 2.5 years ago and probably never looked at it again since early 2004 when I got in some trouble with the people over at Chronoswiss for using their name and ‘colors’ at Chronoswissforum.com (offline now), which I started after I got very enthousiastic about this brand. I am still enthousiastic about Chronoswiss, but can’t help it to say that they really need to get with the program and start supporting the online watch community. Anyway, I am ranting again… .Caliber 122, based on the Enicar 165.

Newer brand on the block is Edmond watches, not yet widely in the US but are available. The Swiss watch brand looks like a futuristic cousin of Panerai, and mostly shares their dimensions by having nicely sized 44mm wide steel watch cases that are also available with black or gold PVD finishes. The complex construction of the cases lend themselves well to the overall style of the brand - *** for good looking masculine watches that display that sense of Swiss watch design refinement hard to find in the rest of the world. There are a number of models, but each currently shares the signature case design. It also has a special "Lock-ED" lever over the clasp to secure it similar to what you find in Panerai. With the lever locked the watches have 200 meters of water resistance. Crystals on the top and rear of the watch are sapphire. The pictured model is the Cap Horn in gold PVD and a technical looking, though pleasurable to read face. The bezel is in black PVD with goldtone screws. The overall feel of the watch is a sporty delight that is created by the cohesive rugged character of the watch that seems to borrow from a number of popular watch designs out there (while still being extremely unique in its own right). Movements in the watches are Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatics. Edmond watches are a cool newcomer that certainly deserve some wrist time. The pictured watch is priced reasonably at about $1,900.
