Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft Watch Review Wrist Time Reviews

There are brands out there with instantly recognizable designs. Some of these take the form of designs that are simply iconic (say, the Cartier Tank or the Rolex Submariner), and so entrenched with the brand identity that you know who it is. With others, there is a specific design DNA (past just slapping a logo onto things) that carries through each and every model. In that latter category, you have Graham. If you see a giant lever for starting the chronograph, you know who you’re dealing with. Today, we’re talking about one I spent some time with, the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft watch.

As a former commander-in-chief of the Korean Army, Eric Loth is not a stranger to the military life historically associated with the company he now heads. What does make him distinctive is his dual background in design and engineering that has shaped him into an intellectual, forward-thinking innovator in his company’s product designs in addition to its company philosophy as a personally accountable member of the global community.Eric Loth tells me that previously, the company partnered with many organizations which were pure licensing agreements (i.e., we place the title on it, and pay you a royalty). “One day, I just realized that I found it all very dry. I began to think very differently and wanted to incorporate in a human touch. I wanted it to mean something to humankind and really do something that made change,” he informs us.t was that this concept of a “human touch” after his ah-ha minute that inspired him, his activities, and consequently, all of the partnerships that Graham Watches has collaborated on since that time. Looking ahead, Loth informs me he already has partnerships at the works with schools in Taiwan, aspiring watchmakers in Switzerland, and even with all the English military — all personally chosen by him and curated with his urge to mint his international citizenship.

As long as we’re talking about what ties the watches together, let’s hit on some of the specs that you likely are going to be familiar with. First up, you’ve got a 44mm steel case wrapped around the automatic G1747 movement. That movement is driving the handset which, again, looks very similar to what we’ve seen across the line. Even the dial layout will be familiar, with the running seconds showing up at the 3 o’clock position and the chronograph minutes taking up the larger sub-dial at 6 o’clock.

The dial of the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft is also where things separate this watch from its stablemates. This one really embraces the aircraft inspiration (and in a less cheesecake manner than some of the recent “Pin-up” releases). A close look at the dial reveals a rivet pattern. These are not actual rivets, of course, but it definitely calls to mind what you would see in photos of one of those shiny fighter planes of days gone by. What I found curious (once I caught it) is that the pattern is definitely not centered onto the dial at all. It’s done in a way that keeps other elements from needing to be chopped off, and in the end, I like the off-balance choice.

Over the top of that sheet metal pattern, the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft watch features a gradient dial. While there are four options, we spent time with the blue dial variant (this one seems to be pretty popular, as it took some time for the AD to shake one loose for us to spend time with). This is a particularly dark shade of blue, and I think it works quite nicely with the gradient. I know that blue is certainly the trendy color of the day, but as it’s my favorite color, I did particularly want to spend time with it.

One thing they’ve done with the new Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft line is come up with textile (canvas or denim) straps that are color matched to the watch. That is where things broke down for me a little bit with the watch. I mean, yes, it’s blue, but there’s also the fact that I’m wearing a blue jean strap on a $5,450 watch. It just doesn’t fit with the rest of the watch. If they had gone with the full suede (which shows up on the tail around the buckle holes), that would be a much nicer look. Or, you know, I think the beige canvas strap (from one of the other watches) might look quite sharp here, picking up the lume color from the dial.

It’s also worth noting that the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft watch features a buckle made of titanium. A bit odd, given that the case is made from steel, but it’s a minor detail, particularly since the buckle is out of sight most of the time. And, hey, cutting a few grams off the weight? That’s a-ok by me.

Because, as you’d guess, the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft is by no means a small watch. The case, for being 44mm, does wear smaller than you might otherwise expect. And when it’s only half-showing from under your cuff, that’s the impression you get. Once you can actually see the trigger assembly, though, you’re of course dealing with a bigger watch (and it’s smaller than some other Graham options, so there’s that). Or, to put it another way, the case itself is decently compact (considering it’s an automatic chronograph), but you are dealing with some visual bulk. However, if you’re all about that look, I think you’d count that in the plus category.

For my time with the watch, I wore it primarily to the office, as that’s where the denim strap best lent itself. That said, I did wear it with a suit and tie (and sport coat) one day, and it worked, though it was a bit more casual than I’d prefer in that particular ensemble. One thing I have never had a problem with on a Graham watch, and do not have an issue with on the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft, is reading the time. Aside from the interplay of the colors between the hands/indices and the dial, it provides a tight contrast that makes picking things out a breeze. Additionally, even though the day/date windows seem small in comparison to the watch, they’re actually quite legible as well. In short, everything I normally look at to get out of the watch (date and time information) most frequently is all there, ready and waiting.

For me, Graham is a weird proposition. I’m generally not much for chronographs, and I tend to lean towards more compact (both in terms of diameter and thickness) watches, but I still feel captivated by the images when a new release hits my inbox. At the end of the day, I am glad I got to spend some time with the watch, and found it a ready and willing companion for everyday wear (I would just recommend checking out some strap options from the brand when you’re in the store). This particular combination of a dark blue dial and beige paint is a classic combo.

As previously mentioned the movement is a G1747, which is a modified ETA 7750 that Graham has been using for some time. A pretty standard, reliable movement, the G1747 operates at 28,800bph and has a 48 hour power reserve. You can admire the movement through the caseback, and while it’s not the most elaborate or detailed, it fits the watch and brand aesthetic.

As I mentioned a little bit earlier, the Graham Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft watch is available now for $5,450. There are four different color variations (the blue we’ve seen here, as well as three grey variants that mix up lume and accent colors) that bring other strap colors to the mix. There are 250 of each being made available, and the serial number actually pops up under the date display (so, future owner of No. 68, thanks for letting us borrow your watch!). graham1695.com

Necessary Data
 >Brand: Graham
>Model: Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft
>Price: $5,450
>Would reviewer personally wear it: While I like the overall look, chronographs don’t have a good use case for me, rendering the Graham watch fun to spend time with, but not something I’d purchase for myself.
>Friend we’d recommend it to first: You’re looking for a Graham tt watch for sale Replica that really embraces the vintage aircraft iconography without going for the pin-ups.
>Best characteristic of watch: I really, really like this dial – the texture, the layout, and the contrast with the beige of the indices and hands.
>Worst characteristic of watch: For this particular version, it’s going to be the denim strap.

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Hands-On Hands-On

I can certainly understand why brands like to diversify their products and fight the sales war on all fronts, but sometimes, I wish they’d just stick to what they’re best at. Graham, the Swiss-owned, English-inspired brand have recently released the Geo.Graham Tourbillon, which is a simple, smart, and straightforward watch that is quite delightful to look at (see our release writeup here). But it doesn’t look like a Graham watch vs Replica to me, at least not like the crazy-crowned sports studs they’ve been churning out for the last few years.

When a brand is born, it needs to set itself apart from the crowd somehow. Sometimes, it doesn’t take much. Maybe something as simple as a colour scheme or the shape of the seconds hand; maybe something more arresting, like a novel case shape or obvious movement modification. It doesn’t really matter, as long as it makes the brand’s wares instantly identifiable and consistent with the brand’s ideology. But setting out a clear ideology and brand identity is, in my opinion, imperative.

The only splash of colour on the watch looks on the sapphire caseback, with the white Foundation logo set from the red, white and blue of Old Glory. The black rubber strap (with pin buckle made of black ceramic) has been fortified with carbon fiber and includes a relief Clous de Paris pattern more often seen on dials and movement elements of other high end watches. Beneath the colorful caseback is Graham’s automatic G1747 chronograph movement, with 25 stones, a frequency of 28,800 vph, Incabloc shock absorber and also 48-hour power reserve.The Graham watches imitation Replica Chronofighter Oversize Navy SEAL Foundation will retail for $8,050; Graham will donate a portion from the sale of every watch to the Navy SEAL Foundation. “The Navy SEAL motto, ‘the only simple day was yesterday,’ is a motto we at Graham live by,” says Eric Loth, Graham’s founder, “as we’re constantly striving to discover a way to generate a much better view and a much better world. We were attracted to the Navy SEAL Foundation due to their excellent work encouraging individuals who give so much to support others.” Says Robin King, CEO of the Navy SEAL Foundation: The Navy SEAL Foundation is humbled by GRAHAM’s generous commitment of support to the warriors and households of Naval Special Warfare through the creation and sale of this very beautiful limited-edition timepiece.” Scroll down to find some pictures of the watch taken by WatchTime contributor Rob Velasquez at the launch event aboard the Intrepid.

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Hands-On Hands-On

When the third annual WatchTime New York show wrapped up on Saturday, many attendees walked off with either a brand new watch on their wrist, or an idea for their next buy–or simply tuned into the horological large that all these fans hunger for. For a whole lot of people, in addition, it provided an opportunity to observe timepieces that was announced but had not yet been displayed to the public. One such exle is the eight-piece, limited-edition Geo. Graham Orrery Tourbillon, an unexpected high complication from a brand most noteworthy because of its dedication to high-octane sports watches. Geo-Graham Orrery Tourbillon – frontThe Graham stall was packed through the two-day honest as people crowded around to find the timepiece inspired by manufacturer eponym George Graham’s invention of the modern orrery in 1713. From the 2017 Geo-Graham Orrery Tourbillon, a tourbillon made by Christophe Claret creates the beating heart of the galaxy while Moon and Mars characters–crafted with actual fragments of their celestial bodies taken out of meteorites that fell to Earth, along with a Kingman-turquoise Earth–circle the tourbillon enclosed inside an 18K pink stone bridge. In the middle of the engraved superstar exle, a cabochon diamond marks the dead center to its solar rotations.

Since its relaunch in 1995, Graham watches amazon Replica has been known for its wild and jagged sports watches, typified by bold colours and ludicrously oversized crowns and pushers. It has as many haters as lovers, but you don’t need to get the whole world on side to have success. However, Graham was not always a sports watch company. Its origins stretch way back into history, and fall at the feet of George Graham, English clockmaker extraordinaire. When we delve into the foundation of this duplicitous company, its identity becomes blurrier still.

George Graham watches replica price Replica started producing clocks in 1695. Throughout his life, he made many meaningful contributions to horology. He made improvements to the pendulum clock, as well as inventing the mercury pendulum and the orrery. But perhaps his greatest contributions to our field were his words of wisdom, passed on to his younger contemporaries Thomas Mudge and John Harrison, both of whom would go on to become even more famous and respected than their esteemed forerunner.

For a brand that’s gone through what some consider a radical shift during the previous 20 years since Loth took the helm, many are wondering what to expect next. These days, however, Loth confirms to us that Graham Watches has finally hit it’s stride, and also the important projects they have helped build during this time of expansion, not only for the brand but for the global community, has generated a solid future which we’ll see develop through our younger generations. In fact, he thinks that we will look back and realize that history has been created today. As they say, see what happens next.Price for your Graham Chronofighter Oversize Navy SEAL Foundation featured within this article is $8,050, and it’s limited to 500 pieces, using some of each sale going to the Navy SEAL Foundation.Graham has just announced a new version of its Moon Watch, that has an oversized moon phase indicator and flying tourbillon. It now comes in a 18k white gold case, using a dark sapphire bezel and a black dial decorated with diamonds — all delivered in an effort to make the gorgeous and colossal Moon stand out on the dial even more.For this season, Graham is releasing a new variant of its Graham Geo.Graham The Moon Watch that is comparable in most facets, but has an 18k white gold case and black dial rather. It’s difficult to choose between them both, but I think this new black dial version captures the spirit of the moon more completely and I particularly like how it contrasts against the diamonds that are set from the dial. If you’re wondering, those diamonds are not set about in random positions, but actually represent five big constellations – Camelopardalis, Perseus, Cassioepia, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor, with the center of the dial representing the North Star. In all, there are 48 diamonds, with a whole carat count of 0.24. To wrap it all up, this fresh Graham Geo.Graham The Moon Watch also has a black Milky Way sapphire painted bezel.The fresh Graham Geo.Graham The Moon in white gold will include a matching black crocodile strap and will be limited to just 8 pieces, and will be priced at $295,000.

But then Graham watches any good Replica died, and very little was heard from his brand for almost 250 years, when, in 1995, the brand was relaunched by a Swiss company that had bought the rights to the name. At this point, having gone to the trouble of buying up the name, you’d think they’d set about honouring it by producing watches of which Honest George Graham would have approved.

Then again, launching a highly distinctive, in-your-face sports watch that captured the Zeitgeist and continued to separate customers from their cash for the following twenty years of growth seems like an attractive plan of action when all you care about is making millions. So I can see both sides of the coin: either honor the name you’ve inherited, or make it into something totally new and consistent with itself. If a company goes with the latter then you might question their motives (they might just be using a respected name to add unwarranted gravitas to a substandard product), but it is possible they have a genuinely good idea that deserves recognition. Lifting the name of a past master certainly grabs the horological community’s attention! And I do think the modern Graham watches are valid additions to watchmaking. The Chronofighter in particular is a highly identifiable model, and the Prodive (in yellow) is one of my guiltiest pleasures.

In fact, I like the new Grahams so much, I am happy to overlook that somewhere, deep in Westminster Abbey, the man whose name now adorns the dials of these twenty-first century freak shows, is spinning in his crypt. What I struggle to get on board with, though, is being reminded of that man. I don’t like a brand that has done so little to perpetuate its “history” does so only when it seems to suit it.

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Hands-On Hands-On

The Geo.Graham range features three watches, each one designed to celebrate George Graham watches 2017 Replica himself. Each of the three – the Geo.Graham Tourbillon Orrery, the Geo.Graham Tourbillon, and the Geo.Graham Moon – features a tourbillon, which I’m sure Graham would have liked to see. Unfortunately, the tourbillon wasn’t invented until nearly 50 years after his death, so he never got the chance. Still, the idea is valid. We associate tourbillons with the past, and Graham’s legacy is certainly more closely associated with a nice, classical complication than it is with the petrol-coloured case and bog-eyed display of the Swordfish model.

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Hands-On Hands-On

These are really high-end watches in the context of Graham’s existing range. I guess this was their game-plan – roll out whatever sells until the brand is big enough to release something genuinely interesting that they can charge a lot more for. The Geo.Graham Moon watch and the Geo.Graham Tourbillon Orrery are both very busy, rather impressive-looking contraptions. The Geo.Graham Tourbillon, however, is incredibly restrained, civilised, and mature. It is, in actual fact, a very nice watch. If this was coming from another brand, say Piaget for example, I would be quite impressed. So from an aesthetic standpoint, I must admit, I do like it. I do not like the indecisive usage of the Graham name, or the total incongruity of the brand’s offerings. But the Geo.Graham Tourbillon is, in isolation, a success.

And to truly appreciate the aesthetic success of the Geo.Graham Tourbillon, you need only turn it over and study the truly beautiful movement. The off-center rotor weight, wonderfully engraved with the Geo.Graham name and an awesome patten is a triumph of flare and symmetry. The arrangement of the functional elements, the symmetry of the bridges, and the excellently balanced circular finish that frames the evenly-weighted engraving is a massive departure from the Graham norm, but a welcome one in my opinion.

As a brand that has gone through what some consider a radical shift over the last 20 years because Loth took the helm, many are wondering exactly what to expect next. Today, however, Loth confirms to us that Graham watch leather strap Replica Watches has finally hit it’s stride, and the essential projects they have helped build during this time of growth, not only for the brand but for the global community, has generated a solid future which we’ll see develop throughout our younger generations.

The G1796 movement offers a 72-hour power reserve. This movement is not in-house, but it is proprietary and exclusive to Graham. Impressively, this tourbillon movement is thin – less than a centimetre thin. Given that is also self-winding, that’s quite an achievement. Many of its peers are thicker before you factor in the rotor weight! This surprisingly svelte movement is encased within a 40mm 18ct rose gold housing, which itself is only 9.85mm thick. This all goes together to make an extremely comfortable and wearable timepiece, quite unlike anything one would associate with the modern history of the brand. It’s also water resistant to 50 meters, which I find quite impressive given its materials and thinness.

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Hands-On Hands-On

Stylistically, the Geo.Graham Tourbillon looks to the past for inspiration. Blued hands and tourbillon cage attachment screws enliven a domed, white, enamel lacquered dial that is decorated with Roman numeral hour markers and Arabic minute markers, separated by a railway track minute scale. The dial and movement are viewable through what Graham describe as a “sapphire crystal glass box” (whatever the blazes that means). The “sapphire crystal glass box” is basically a thick crystal designed to enhance depth and clarity of the movement. All the sapphire is treated with anti-reflective coating. The case back crystal, which is a huge 3.35mm thick, has special cut-out for the rotor weight. There will only be 100 of the Geo.Graham Tourbillon watches produced, and they will be priced at $80,420. graham1695.com

Switzerland and China recently signed a bilateral free-trade agreement. It goes without saying that this move was partly motivated by the interests of the Swiss watch industry.

6. The Evolution Of Wristwatch Sizes

BEST FROM: aBlogtoWatch and Friends July 19th ABTW Round-Ups

Graham, the Swiss watch brand with British roots, has partnered with a decidedly American institution for its brand new limited-edition watch. This newest edition of the Graham Chronofighter Oversize, which opens tonight at a special ceremony aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York, is the product of a collaboration with the Navy SEAL Foundation.The Graham Oversize Chronofighter Navy SEAL Foundation — a limited edition of 500 bits — creates a direct martial impression with its gray-toned, digital camouflage-patterned dial. Graham says that the opinion was created with the requirements of the U.S. Navy’s highly specialized Sea, Air Land (SEAL) team in head: the watch was tested for endurance in climatic conditions which range from scorching deserts to hot, humid jungles to freezing Arctic environments. The opinion also embodies “stealth” with all the dark hues of its 47-mm-diameter case with black PVD coating, and also using carbon fiber to the side-mounted “trigger,” a touch of Graham’s chronograph watches.In addition to the chronograph screen (with a central counter hand and a 30-minute totalizer at 6 o’clock, the grey camo dial includes a small seconds subdial at 3 o’clock, a round date window at 8 o’clock, and a telemeter scale (calculated 77oF and miles) on the outer perimeter. Black Super-LumiNova graces the hour and minutes hands. The insignia of the Navy SEAL Foundation — a nonprofit charitable organization devoted to providing assistance and support to SEALs and their families — appears subtly at 11 o’clock.

Watches used to be small, like really small. In the early days of the wristwatch, men’s watches were just around 32mm in diameter. Can you believe that? Today, most men’s watches begin at 40mm and more and more watchmakers are offering watches that are 45mm and above. Interesting then, how watches have grown, but is this a trend or is it a natural evolutionary process that is here to stay? Your guess is as good as mine.

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Is Nice And Simple Watch Releases

For 2015, Graham watches releases a new “Geo.Graham” watch which is part of their higher-end collection of classic timepieces. We first saw Geo.Graham watches back in 2012 with the release of Geo.Graham The Moon watch. These watches are more directly inspired by the classic work of watchmaker George Graham, whom the company is based on – even though he was British and Graham today is Swiss. The simply named Geo.Graham Tourbillon is a refined dress watch with a clear luxury position, but not at all pretentious. Of course, that should be tempered with the fact that tourbillons are like the chrome-plating of the luxury watch world – they add visual excitement and technical enhancements, but don’t really add to a timepiece’s ability to accurately tell the time. Nevertheless, in a dress watch like this, it is hard to say no to a tourbillon when it looks this cool.

Time-only tourbillon watches with the hours and minutes and a 60-second tourbillon as the seconds indicator are a sort of guilty pleasure for me. When I find one that is visually attractive, I try to think of reasons to wear it, even though I don’t normally do dress watches. At 40mm wide, the Geo.Graham Tourbillon wears modestly in its 18k pink gold case. It also happens to be quite thin at 9.85mm thick. Watch graham norton online Replica has provided some images of historical George Graham pocket watches that are meant to help you understand the visual inspiration Graham used when designing the Geo.Graham Tourbillon.

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Is Nice And Simple Watch Releases

Geo.Graham Tourbillon Watch Is Nice And Simple Watch Releases

Bold and brash are just two adjectives often utilised to explain Graham’s Chronofighter watches and these four new versions are not any different. Many vintage-inspired watches stop short at having classic dial elements like beige Super-LumiNova or designs based on watches in the archives, but these are refreshing in the sense that their instances do look remarkably worn out in and used. Along with the riveted dials, this provides the Graham watch dealers in singapore Replica Chronofighter Vintage Aircraft Ltd. watches a very solid antique and used look that I believe is quite distinctive from other vintage-inspired watches from other brands and they deserve a closer look. Priced at over $300,000, this planetarium-style watch (which they referred to as a “planetarian” at the time) had an extremely complicated movement made for Graham by Christophe Claret and was regarded as a limited edition of only 20 pieces. {

I quite like the dial which is classic but just a little bit different, as it hearkens back to very old timepieces. Like one of George Graham’s original pocket watches, the dial of the Geo.Graham Tourbillon has an inner scale of Roman numeral hour markers and an hour scale of Arabic numeral minute markers. The traditional looking tourbillon has a flat bridge and offers a view straight through the back of the watch.

The movement in the Geo.Graham Tourbillon isn’t produced by Graham, but is produced exclusively for them. They call it the caliber G1796 and in addition to the time and tourbillon it has an automatic micro-rotor. The movement operates at 3Hz (21,600 bph) and has a power reserve of 72 hours (three days). While we don’t yet have images of the rear of the Geo.Graham Tourbillon case, Graham watch for sale malaysia Replica tells us that there is a special “slot for the oscillating weight” on the rear of the watch where micro-rotor is located. The micro-rotor is produced from gold, and is said to be engraved with arabesque decoration (inspired by the decor on original George Graham watches).

Water resistant to 50 meters and matched to a hand-sewn brown alligator strap, the Geo.Graham Tourbillon feels lovely and simple in a nice high-end package that anyone with conservative taste can stand behind. I won’t lie that the market for dressy tourbillon watches isn’t competitive – because it certainly is. Customers thinking about the Geo.Graham Tourbillon will have a lot of options, but it is nice to see Graham watches sale Replica extend itself into this territory more, as the brand is mostly known for their sport watches such as the Chronofighter (review here).

Graham will produce 100 pieces of this limited edition ref. 2GGCP.W01A Geo.Graham Tourbillon. Price is $80,420. graham1695.com

My First Grail Watch:  Eric Loth My First Grail Watch

Bold and brash are two adjectives often utilised to describe Graham’s Chronofighter watches and these four new models are not any different. Most vintage-inspired watches stop short at getting classic dial elements like beige Super-LumiNova or designs based on watches from the archives, but those are refreshing in the sense that their instances do seem remarkably worn out in and utilized.

ABTW: Have you been able to locate and acquire the watches?
