Following the launch of the Chronofighter Vintage which celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Chronofighter series, Graham issues the latest stamp in the iconic Chronofighter family’s passport. A timepiece that’s cool about being in two places at once. The Chronofighter Vintage GMT integrates a second time zone in a design that takes inspirations from different eras elegantly in its stride. Parented by the series launched at the dawn of the new millennium, this model combines sophisticated contemporary horology with visible vintage flashbacks. It whisks the imagination on time travel trips taking in nostalgic plane adventures and masculine 60s TV heroes, all seasoned with 70s styling detail. The family’s trademark stop-start trigger is reliably ready for action, wherever, whenever. 
 
Technical prowess makes the world go round
A G1733 automatic chronograph movement makes the two worlds of this Swiss made timepiece go round – simultaneously. Dark sunbrushed dials with a radial gradient capture a wide range of shades to show off Superluminova detail, snailed counters and a rhodiated ring. The mono-directional rotation bezel, with 24 positions and a large double-disk date at 12 o’clock, are travel essentials in modern timekeeping terms. A boxlock mechanism adds an appealing, slow, tick-tock sound to the ceramic bezel’s motion. Underlining the statement of technical complexity is the construction of the trigger, combining a co-axial crown and push button. The instrument character of the overall look is signed off by a see-through case back to reveal the movement’s most intimate secrets. This watch is designed for real and aspiring globetrotters everywhere, whether they get their kicks on Route 66 or from an aviation fix.
