Thunderbirds men's watch chronograph steel bracelet 47 mm

The first thing you notice about this Thunderbirds is the build: a 47 mm round case in black stainless steel, 15 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal over a black dial. It is a chronograph with a date window, powered by a Miyota 6S20 quartz movement.

Reading the dial and using the chronograph

The black dial keeps the time easy to read at a glance, and the date sits in its own window. The chronograph starts, stops and resets with the pushers, and sub-dials add the timing readout to the face. Because the movement is quartz, there is nothing to wind or set apart from the time itself. When the battery runs out, you simply replace it.

Case, bracelet and fit

At 47 mm this is a large watch, so it suits a broader wrist. The stainless steel case resists corrosion, and the 5 ATM water resistance copes with rain and splashes, though it is not meant for swimming. The black stainless steel bracelet is 22 mm wide and made of links, which you remove to shorten it. Our watch size guide explains how to do it, and it is worth keeping any links you take out in case you need them again. The deployant clasp has a safety catch, so it will not pop open by accident.

Day to day, the black metal bracelet looks as at home with an office shirt as with jeans, and the watch is sturdy enough for the gym, a run or a weekend of DIY. It comes in a presentation box, which makes it an easy gift too. It belongs to our range of men's watches with link bracelets.
