Chain Of Time Ebony Black Watches

. Whether you’re a cycling enthusiast or an aficionado of industrial aesthetics, the most prominent feature of the dial is the chain-driven gear that extends across the oval surface. The subsidiary hand at the bottom assists the hour hand in traversing the 24-hour dial as it connects to the chain. This is not the simplest method of telling time and certainly requires some adjustment, but timekeeping is not often the primary function of watches like this. The outer dial features raised layers with Arabic numerals on even positions, reducing some of the visual complexity that can come with a 24-hour dial.

. At first glance, you might think it utilizes a highly complex in-house movement developed over years, but at its core lies the standard Sellita SW220-1. Swiss movements have become the go-to choice for both small and well-known brands because of their proven reliability and ease of use, and being based on the older ETA movements means there is a wealth of knowledge and infrastructure for modifications. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph) and has a power reserve of approximately 36 hours.

. Considering the unconventional central portion of the dial, the case width is 42mm, with a length of 55mm, but the integrated strap helps keep the watch snug on the wrist. The overall height is 14mm, with a significant portion of that attributed to the dual-domed sapphire crystal that follows the elliptical shape, giving the watch the appearance of an old-time apparatus on display in a museum.
