Definitely enjoyed my time with this one. I love some of the small changes and the play on the name. The DLC bezel was a nice design choice as well! The orange MN is a perfect strap for this one.
This is such a cool watch! You can never, ever go wrong with a day-glow orange minute hand lol. For me, the case shape is reminiscent of the CWC Royal Navy Diver, with the big sexy crown guards, etc. Besides NATOs, maybe a good option would be a chunky leather strap, which would obfuscate the big gap between the spring bar and case a bit. For the entire duration of this review, I was tapping my foot to the Magnum P.I. theme song playing in my head! I know that you own a black, red & orange striped helicopter, Pete! Your secret's out!!! Great review
I so much appreciate you 1) keeping reasonable distance from the watch and not zoomed onto the dial, gives a better sense of proportion and aesthetic of the overall watch and 2) showing side by side comparison against more common dive watches. It's baffling how 99.9% of watch videos screw this up. The cute duck logo won me over and am getting one.
I’ve got the original Magnum PI series on DVD in and I’m still trying to read the name of the cheap quartz dive watch Tom Selleck had in season one, they do a close-up shot of his watch in one scene. Later seasons he had a what looked like a Rolex submariner with a steel oyster strap Edit: I thought you were referring to the new Magnum PI series.
There is only one REAL Magnum PI series.....the first, not that ripoff copy! By the way, I had a Chronosport UDT watch. Wore it 20 years and sold it for twice what I paid for it......which if I remember was around 800 dollars. Chronosports were NOT cheap watches!
I see Momentum watches has a Sea Quartz that looks just like this one for $259. The founder of Momentum watches owned Chronosport back in the day. Just thought you might like to know if you didn't already.
You mentioned these being only available on EBAY. However, I am unable to find them there, nor with a google search. Can you tell me where to get one? I was considering the MWC but it does not say, "Swiss made," (although they appear to be assembled in Germany with a RONDA movement).
Man this is a really cool watch. That solid black bezel looks better than the other ones I see on the internet with the raw stainless grippy part. Love how this case shape is somewhere between classic tapered lugs and a cushioney turtle. And I like your douchebaggery LOL
Sorry bro. I don't know too much about watches.. but I have a very special one. It is a Chronosport CHRO600GB I would like to know if you have some information about this specific model. Thanks in advance
I don’t like this version due to changes made to the original such as the dlc bezel. Also looks like a steel bezel, the original had a mineral crystal bezel.
Just have a look at Momentum Watches in Vancouver B.C. They just released TODAY the authentic re-issue from the owner who used to own Chronosport. Pretty cool for the
You forgot the Hawaiian shirt and shorts to go with the watch, maybe a moustache and 1911! How do you find all these nice watches, not to mention, also pay for them? You're living the dream life. I guess you need the analog digital version now!

Great getting to meet you, so happy you’re enjoying it!
Its an amazing watch. Steve turned me on to it and it's now in my regular rotation. I love it.

Haha! I'm still wearing it almost daily, see watch!
Ciao guarda l orologio etairos!!!

Thank you so much! Isn't the logo fantastic!
Enjoyed the review with nice touch of humour!
Thank you, appreciate the kind words!
It's a nice watch but I can't find it on the internet. I live in Italy. Can you recommend the site where I can buy it? Thank you

The genuine Chronosport watches are very collectable and worth thousands

Incredibly cool piece! 💪 A real alternative to the CWC SBS for me, I still need to decide which of them to get. 😅
Both!!!
Pretty cool watch Pete.

The Momentum cannot claim Swiss Made.

There's a link in the description
Momentum just launched the exact model from 1980!
@@oddpout I just saw that. Darn, I had it narrowed down to MWC or Chronoport or Horloscaphe. Now what to do?

Can you get it with a real bracelet or just the fugly dog collar strap?
Dog collar only!
@@ChillinwitWatches And then you're left with a lousy dog (that ate the collar... common af!) 😋
Love it fun watch
Ever since I got my promaster tough, I can't understand quartz thickness like this here. 13mm for a quartz? Nah, that doesn't fly anymore.
This watch would be like a dinner plate if it was thin. Proportions are everything.
👍
I thought Magnum rocked a Rolex GMT pepsi?
For most of the show he did, but in the first few seasons he had this.

Just did a pre-order; Couldn't resist and a Canadian company too. Can't beat the price and it is the real deal.
I have the original Chronosports UDT watch that was issued to me while in the Marine Corps in 1990. Better than this tho.
In what ways is it better? Obviously sentimentally! But I'm curious because the udt has less water resistance and a mineral crystal.
@@ChillinwitWatches IMO the UDT is better cuz it looks cooler compared to this.
@@johnjuarez8005 dig it! I 💯 agree that looks is the most important thing when it comes to watches.
Duck soup chronoports??? Wtf, why not!
Exactly!
Watch with a pun? Who needs that? Strictly for watch nerds IMO. Does not look the money...
Duh
I don’t think I like this…. The REAL company with history/heritage with this model is Momentum watches. Is this a knock-off????
