Graham GMT Chronofighter
We went out with some of our friends this weekend and the guy brought his Graham GMT Oversize Chronofighter to show me. So I had to try it on my wrist like you did. This is a very large watch, and every design cue exudes from the oversized GMT hand, to the oversized GMT lettering, to the bold black and red bezel, and the trigger that doesn’t look out of place at the push of a button. The atomic bomb in the testosterone Bond movies. I think the clue to the watch’s intent is on the dial in front of you with the word “OVERSIZE” written on it. The case is 47mm in diameter, but fits well even on my small wrist. One reason is that the giant trigger system wears down your wrist, so when you flex it around your wrist, it doesn’t dig into your hand like the crown on some of my own larger watches.
In fact, the watch is very comfortable on my wrist and the strap fits perfectly, even on my small wrist. My friend’s watch has rubber straps, I’m a big fan of these watches, they’re very comfortable for me, and in this case, it reinforces the watch’s more casual and rugged look. In fact, I absolutely love this watch. Honestly, I’ve only really seen them online before and didn’t pay much attention to them thinking they were too big for me, but while testing it was a watch I’d love to have. I will wear it a lot and no doubt love it on my wrist. Sadly, the truth is that I tried everything I could to wrest this beauty from my partner’s hands, but the bottom line is that he can only drink more than me! In fact, I was so obsessed with this watch that I ended up walking out of the restaurant leaving my phone behind!
Graham is a British high-end replica watches online manufacturer named after the famous watchmaker George Graham. The company manufactures mainly in Switzerland and uses a combination of custom movements and some modified ETA parts.
Chronofighter is a little different, and more fun. First, this is one of Graham’s flagship watches. It contains an automatic movement G1733, which I believe is Graham’s first in-house movement, and it has a large date at 12 o’clock and a large GMT hand. The chronograph has a unique pusher and crown arrangement for stopping and starting measurements, and a plunger-like pusher.
The trigger stops and starts the chronograph while protecting the crown. As mentioned, the case is 47mm in diameter and the watch is thick with a signature solid caseback. It’s water resistant to 100 meters, but despite the rubber strap, I wouldn’t consider this a swimming watch.
The watch with the rubber strap is very light on my wrist, and the trigger on the side, while perhaps an acquired taste, is very comfortable for me.
It is often said that Graham fake was a polarizing watch company that jumped into the big watch bandwagon in a hurry. Maybe true, but how fun it is for boys to wear this watch. I use the word “boy” on purpose because it brings the boy into your heart. I went back to my childhood and knocked on my partner’s door to see if he was playing. I have a fully loaded Johnny Seven in my right hand and my Chronofighter in my left wrist! Bold and very striking, the pieces are full of ‘tools’ like British ancestry and masculinity, but their masculinity price is way too far in the wrong £7,000.
Honestly, would I recommend this watch? Its big, rugged styling, loud and proud lifestyle, and frankly garish demeanor? I bet the Chronofighter GMT is a great watch for people who like big fashion watches, and for the money, I haven’t seen anything beat it in terms of punch, practicality, and utter boyhood!
