Thunderbirds men's chronograph watch leather strap 40 mm

This Thunderbirds suits the man who wants a proper chronograph that is also easy to read and easy to live with. It is a men's watch with a 40 mm round case in black stainless steel, a bicolour dial, a black leather strap and a quartz movement (TMI VD57).

What the dial tells you

The analogue display packs in a lot without feeling crowded. There is a date window, a small seconds sub-dial and a 24 hour indication that separates day from night. The chronograph is run from the two pushers, and its minute counter goes up to 60. The hands are luminescent, so once they have taken in some light you can still read them in the dark.

Case, glass and water resistance

The stainless steel case measures 40 mm across and 12 mm thick, a size that sits comfortably on most men's wrists. The mineral glass holds up to scratches better than plastic does. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and handwashing. It is not meant for swimming. The quartz movement needs no winding, and the only routine job is replacing the battery from time to time.

Day to day, the leather strap is 20 mm wide and gradually moulds to your wrist. Keep it away from water and it will last. If you like this style, you can browse more men's watches on leather straps. Whether it is a walk, a hike or a busy weekend, this one keeps up, and it arrives in a presentation box if you are buying it as a gift.
