Review marker placement, dial tone and the engraved bezel scale under clear light. The chronograph hands should return together; crown and pushers should operate cleanly. Finish by looking at the Oysterflex end connection and deployant clasp, where the dark strap meets the cooler case.
Distinctive dial, quieter frame.
The black dial with bright markers gives this reference immediate character, but the cooler case tone prevents it from becoming showy. The black bezel and Oysterflex strap form a dark surround, so markers and registers remain points of brightness. It is for a buyer who wants more personality than a plain black dial, yet still wants an athletic chronograph rather than a full metal statement.
