1916 company review of the new Chronomat dropped.

Oh wow. I mean this only reason to not get this watch is if you don’t like how it looks. Full package.

- in house chronograph certified by COSC
- lapsed hour dial
- bracelet now has screws and micro adjust
- date is hidden inside the sub-dial
- lug to lug that of a 39mm IB watch
- 1,5mm thinner than before
- an actual proper 120 notch diving bezel (wtf I love this)
- 200m water resistance
- actually looks like a great watch
- can choose a panda dial for extra sporty looks

I think that’s the one to get boys.

The thin case is supposed to integrate into the bracelet from the side as well as from the top. 13mm hockey pucks on thin bracelets look ridiculous from the side. Look at the side profile of the jumbo/nautilus/tonda micro rotor/santos - that’s the appeal of IB watch design.
