Colours

Friend of mine asked if I knew of any watch models that had color – bright color, but he was on a budget (getting a small gift for his boy at Christmas) and his lad just loves color.

I think it runs in the family and being kind I always thought that the entire family had a color sense issues, especially as the last time I met Charles (no not the Prince!) he was wearing a rather grand red velvet jacket and a green, yes green bow tie. Elegant was probably not the word that sprung to my mind especially when I noted (as if one could not) he was also wearing tan trousers and brown shoes!
But we all have our little foibles and why should I criticize – I once had a multicolor Citroen CV that my girl friend at the time thought hideous and I thought really cool! It was so serious that it was her ultimatum – the car or it's over! Well there was of course no question about it – I kept the car . . . ;-)
Anyway I digress – his son obviously takes after his Dad and I thought this watch might do the trick – and it's rather military-ish style might appeal. Ashampoo_Snap_2014.12.14_21h07m58s_007_
This is the AstroAvia V9S Alarm Chronograph and I've just thought it would be an excellent match to my friends attire! But mum's the word! Anyway it's a pretty stylish military style model with a YN 64 Quartz Japan movement, so will keep pretty decent time. Matte stainless steel case with Black PVD plating and screw back rated 3 ATM, is 43mm diameter by just 11mm depth, so OK for the boy – he's 14 years old and already going on 6 feet and gangly. An Alarm function and Chronograph (60 minute timer, 1/5th secs and split times) plus a second Time Zone feature, 24 hour dial, Mineral crystal, black background dial with red sub dials, very green numerals and a white center sweep seconds had – plus a Date window between 4 & 5.
It also features a killer red ringed top push button to start the chronograph which seems just right to me and a Tachymeter scale round the perimeter – in fact the more I look at this the more I like it myself!
Great stainless Steel band is 22mm so looks in proportion has butterfly buckle and twin pushers. I forgot to mention the hands and dial numerals by the way are coated in Luminova – not Superluminova which is a pity as SuperL is definitely better – and I've always been slightly disappointed in Astro's night look, but hey! maybe they've improved. The image supplied by AstroAvia is brilliant – as they tend to be, but how it performs after an hour in the dark – your guess is as good as mine.
I've seen it for around £140-£170 here in the UK which is within his budget it comes with a 2 year Guarantee and I have a feeling his boy will love this – I know I'm quite taken by it . . . .

I did consider another colorful model this time from Swatch and whilst I have a lot of time for this Brand, it was back to the plastic cased fashion style watch, though in fairness close up it's quite a substantial piece of kit, especially the substantial hour and minute hands and the dial markers. But on balance I didn't think it would really appeal to this adult yearning lad – the military style steel cased model being more up his street.

But it's certainly colorful – this is the Swatch “Chromatic Water” series Multi-color Black Dial unisex model SUUB401 at 42mm diameter x 15mm depth and 20m Water Resistance with Silicon Rubber strap and buckle. Cheaper at around $66 in USA, so perhaps near the £100 once in the UK – and there probably wasn't time to get it anyway for Christmas.
However in the event whilst it's certainly a “color” contender, in this instance it's no contest as the AstroAvia definitely has the “look” and is a very adult watch. It manages to get away with the color scheme too, as it just seems to work! Bekijk meer Zwitserse replica en chopard piece unique replica
