Io preferisco orologi non dedicati a eventi specifici.
Comunque non si può negare un'impatto visivo notevole, quasi da strumento.
Penso che la grossa leva di comando del crono servisse per essere azionata con i guanti, non ricordo a quale scopo (aviazione? o automobilismo?)
Se il polso è in grado di portare il tutto fa sicuramente una grande figura.
Il movimento è dotato di ruota a colonna ma non so altro.
Conclusione : Bel pezzo, anche se te lo fanno pagare salato.
Riporto quanto ho trovato su TZ.
George Graham was an early English watchmaker who is reknowned as the inventor of the chronograph. The legacy of the Graham name and English horology has been revived by the British Masters and the Swiss production of high-grade complicated timepieces with an English heritage and sensibility. The design of the Graham Chronofighter was inspired by needs of high altitude fighter pilots, who must utilize their precision timepieces under adverse conditions, including the wearing of thick gloves. The patented chronograph lever design permits the use of the thumb in starting and stopping the chronograph, which allows for greater precision and response time. Apart from the ergonomic considerations of this unique lever design, it is simply one of the most stunning and audacious watch designs in recent times, which is why this unusual chronometer-grade automatic chronograph is so in demand! The signed automatic chronograph movement on this piece is a Graham calibre G1722, which features 25 jewels and 5 adjustments. This beautiful movement is running flawlessly, keeping highly accurate time, and chronographing as designed.
