The Chase Durer Story


FOR THOSE WHO KNOW WATCHES

The design procedure begun after months of consultation with all categories of flyers. It was only after this exploration that the precision timepieces went to the drawing boards, then to prototype testing and at last into production.
 
    The reaction to the CHASE-DURER "look" and to it is functionality, ruggedness and dependability was without any delay acknowledged by the aviation world. Not only were their most crucial needs integrated into the watches, but CHASE-DURER invented a pricing structure that raised eyebrows within the industry by eliminating the exorbitant profits demanded by other companies making similar (though not as attractive) timepieces.

Again the company met with officers and enlisted men from Special Forces units and, before long, the distinctive SF 1000 was born.

Built like a tank

Although I didn't buy this watch on Amazon, I like mine so much I felt compelled to write a review.

First of all, this watch is big, heavy, and chunky, with a heavy linked ban and a thick case. All on purpose, and share of the styling, so don't take that description as a complaint. But if larger, heavier watches don't appeal to you, read no further. It has a wonderful, solid feel, with beautiful machined screws keeping the band together, and a nice carbon fiber weave on the face. The only minor complaint would be that the movable share of the bezel surround for using the tachymeter is plastic, not metal. However, that did concede them to give it a smoked coloring, while still transparent, making it more comfortable to see the numbers. It is also unidirectional, something I think all watches of this type ought to be. The buttons are substantial, with ribbed collars, including the crown, which is a screw down type. Again, giving it a beefy, military look that it was designed for.

As far as the mechanism, everything works fine on mine. I don't use the chronograph functions all that much, but they worked flawlessly. The luminosity of the hands are amazing, very similar to Luminox watches. You can't miss it at night!

Some may have a problem with it being a quartz watch, and not automatic, but it keeps magnificent time, so I take pleasure in not having to reset it each time I don't wear it for a couple of days. And as for price......you may spend a LOT more money, and still get an inferior quality watch.
