Calibre Men’s SC-4A2-04-001 Akron Analog Display Quartz Black Watch Review

For hundreds of years, the Swiss have been among the most active and athletic people in Europe. Since watchmaking is Switzerland’s national industry, the country has a long tradition of sporting timepieces that have been designed for an active lifestyle. Created by founder Samuel Friedmann, Calibre timepieces were established in 1992 to bring the Swiss enthusiasm for sports and the outdoors to a world where watches were increasingly becoming an integral part of an active, casual lifestyle.

Nineteen-ninety-two was a banner year for Swiss athletes. Marc Rosset won a gold medal in Men’s Singles Tennis at the Barcelona Summer Olympics, while Gustav Weder and Donat Acklin won gold for Switzerland at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville in the two-man bobsled competition. This was the same year that another high-caliber Swiss performance began to take shape: Calibre Collection timepieces. The Calibre Collection takes the Swiss sporting tradition, exemplified by Switzerland’s 1992 Olympic champions, and updates it for the 21st Century. Calibre timepieces are powered by precision Swiss-made movements and are the definition of a great sports watch.

The Calibre vision was inspired by two Swiss traditions: watchmaking excellence and a love of athletic activity. These versatile timepieces are setting new standards for creativity, craftsmanship, and casual style.

Sporty and trendy, this Calibre men’s watch is a sophisticated, convenient and comfortable accessory, great for outdoor wear. Encased in stainless steel, its white dial features luminous hands and indices, 3 chronograph sub-dials, a second hand feature, a date window in the 3 position and a tachymeter inner bezel. A unidirectional rotating bezel surrounds the dial and a durable mineral crystal window protects it from scratches. Extra soft black rubber straps comfortably close with a tang buckle for safe and secure all day wear. Powered by reliable quartz movement and water resistant to 50 meters, it is a great addition to any timepiece collection.
