Chrono Watch
A chronograph watch is one which not only keeps the time, but which also has a number of other features. For example, it may measure time in different ways by incorporating a stopwatch function to enable the user to provide accurate timings.
A typical men’s chronograph watch has displays for second, minute and hours as well as day and date, and some even have display for the phases of the moon. A person may buy a men’s chrono watch or a ladies’ chrono watch because they incorporate a number of valuable ‘tools’ within one timepiece. They may be slightly more expensive than a normal watch due to the exceptional technological craftsmanship and they appeal to those who like typical men’s leather strap watches as well as bracelet watches.
You can choose from the following types of chrono watches:
Analogue type – this measures the time on different dials and sub dials with different dials for the second, minute and hour functions.
Digital – a button on the side of the face can change the function displayed by pressing different modes.
Dual analogue/digital – with a standard analogue face plus a small window which displays the time digitally and which acts as a stopwatch when selected.
The style of watch is determined by the number of dials and functions and men’s bracelet watches and men’s strap watches are popular in a number of professions:
Medicine – often incorporating a pulsometer for taking the pulse
Sporting profession – many men’s and ladies’ sports chrono watches incorporate tachometers, stopwatches and telemeters. This is important where accuracy is necessary and many quartz watches can measure hundredths of a second. Thye are therefore porpular in racing fields where accurate measurements of time are vital.
Engineering – taking accurate measurements and calculations is vital in a number of engineering fields such as the world of science, auronautics, flight and the military.
Many people buy chronograph watches as gifts – they appeal to those who admire technological craftsmanship and also those who value fashion and elegance. They combine the beauty of the analogue display with the practicality and accuracy of the digital display – a timepiece that is both practical and attractive.
