    It's got a Sellita SW200 movement , sapphire crystal, and an insane amount of super luminova on the dial and bezel according to the Cronos website. I really like this one.

      You can get it with either the PT5000 or the SW200. I went with the PT5000.

    The watch looks seriously well made. This isnt a Cronos watch, the brand is Hrudoland (or however it is spelt) but it is sold on Cronos store (they're friends) they have their own range, incase anyone didn't know and think its made my Cronos

      @HonestWatchReviewsHWR  4 года назад

      I know yeah, but people are far more likely to search for Cronos rather than Hruodland. As it's really difficult to spell as well as pronounce 😆

      @@HonestWatchReviewsHWR yeh they wouldn't even find it lol that's for people incase they didn't know because I someone comment saying its a Cronos watch. Hrudoland is significantly more expensive than Cronos and San martin, what do you think? Is it worth it?

    Holy Mother, now that's a beautiful looking watch. It's a better-looking version of an Axios I was looking at a few days ago. Cronos has been stepping up their game lately. I'm going to look up the specs, I might buy one. Thanks for the review. Cheers.

    It's good to see an original design from Cronos, albeit with a branding a bit hard to pronounce. I like it, I have a thing for vertical brushing on the sides. And Cronos seems to be quite generous with little tools and bits and pieces that come with the watch which is in line with my personal experience.

    Call it a Roland. It is a Frankish name. Hroudland/Roland is the hero in the famous medieval epic Chanson de Roland. He is a historical figure during the time of the reign of Charlemange. The story goes that he died, fighting heroically, in a battle against Moors in Spain.
    Some old medieval text have its name spelt as Hroutland, other as Roland, spanish text as Orlando. There was no Oxford English Dictionary's spelling conventions during that times.
    So just say Roland to that watch and make it sound a bit off, like they try to pronounce medieval English in the movies and you are good.
