Thunderbirds chronograph men's watch black mesh strap

Black on black, this Thunderbirds watch goes with dark jeans, a charcoal jumper or a plain black tee, and it holds its own with a suit too. It is a men's watch with a quartz movement, a 42 mm round case and a black stainless steel mesh strap.

What the dial shows

The black dial carries a date window, a small seconds sub-dial and a 24-hour indication, so you can tell morning from evening at a glance. The chronograph has its own sub-dials, and the tachymeter scale lets you work out an average speed in km/h by timing a set distance.

Movement

The quartz movement keeps steady time with no winding and no fuss. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals while the watch is open.

Case and size

The case is black stainless steel, 42 mm across and 12 mm thick, with a mineral glass. That suits most men's wrists without looking oversized. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes. Take it off before swimming.

Strap

The black mesh strap is stainless steel too. It is flexible and breathable, and the 22 mm width keeps it in proportion with the case.

For daily wear, it takes work, the gym or a weekend project without trouble, and the dark finish keeps it low-key from morning to evening.
