Chronofix - that's a good forum neologism.

"Man, it's been a month since I bought a watch. I'm jonesing for a chronofix!"

Love the OP, really unique and subtle classic tones.
But also liking the Chronos' above, especially the 2nd one.
Digital back and analogue. Nice

Beautiful watch - epitome of a Type 20 configuration. Do you know what military issued it?

Over the years, this 765 AVI designation has remained confusing to me. I must have seen half-a dozen variants designated as 765 AVI, inlcuding that nifty one with the digital minute counter. I'm sure there is some rhyme and reason to the 765 AVIs, but I sure as heck haven't figured it out.

Aquastar Benthos 500, which has a modified A.Schild movement that allows for a 60 min timer.

Here's a (reinvented) Japy chrono from the 90's. Don't believe they lasted into the 2000's. It uses a Dubois Depraz piggyback chrono:


Seiko 5717 from 1964, their first ever chrono:

Unusual ???

... for sure ;)

But not really a chronograph?!
Movement is like a chronograph but actually the function is not as far as definition goes?
Love it all the same!!!

You're right totally... Lemania 2225 based on the 2220; so close yet so different ;)

Does not being able to read the fecking dial qualify as unusual? I'm going with...yes.
