In Tribute to the Great Watchmaker: Graham Chronofighter Diver
If you wish that your name lives forever in memory, just make a breakthrough in watchmaking industry. This recipe works for two great watchmakers of the past - Nicolas Rieussec and George Graham. In tribute to the first one, known as the inventor of the first chronograph, Montblanc created a watch series. The second one, an influential English clockmaker, was the man after whom one of watchmaking companies, Graham, was named.
Though the brand does not have formal connection to the long-deceased inventor and was created fourteen years ago, they are tied by a spiritual bond which finds expression in Graham watches. One of the watches that embodies the spirit of the brand is the Graham Chronofighter Diver.
The Graham Chronofighter Diver is a conventional chronograph timepiece with a 24-hour and 30-minute counters displayed in sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock. The chronograph functions are set by an unusual trigger-shaped push-piece on the left side of an imposing 50mm case. Apparently, the designers of the watch have a liking for large details – the two Arabic numerals “12” and “6” are also oversized. The hour markers and hands are coated with luminescent paint that is clearly visible in low light conditions.
The case of the Graham Chronofighter Diver features a stainless steel helium valve which ensures that the watch is water resistant to 1,000 feet. The timepiece is provided with a rubber strap featuring a double security buckle for comfort and additional safety. The watch is powered by a self winding movement having a power reserve of 42 hours.
