Title: Offshore Classic Chronograph Love
Post by: mikeylacroix on April 01, 2015, 06:46:33 PM

In my early days of becoming a watch nut...its Lorne over at Classic Chronograph who got me totally into more functional tougher watches
his no nonsense approach in designing and getting this watch done up made me an easy convert.
(Yes yes Aegir is kinda on the hit list now...)

new bracelet, new hands

clean fibronacci inspired design, love the stepped dial and the textured subdials

date window bit too small

no nonsense pushers, with the sturdy 7750 running it. the newer model has a higher grade version i think...

(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Offshore%20Classic%20Chronograph/2013Nov2nd%2005_resize_zps2dqahwzp.jpg)
42mm, apparently uses some tubing system for the pushers so its pretty waterproof or something
(http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag448/qrchandc26/Offshore%20Classic%20Chronograph/Offshore%20Professional%20Field%20Engineer%2026%20021_resize_zpsqhiointe.jpg)

the roman numerals bezel probably not for everyone...there's also a tachymeter option. the newer double 0 version has a day display too
