Adidas Black Chronology Watch

The AM Take

Pub. 2009-03-04

The adidas Black Chronology Watch is a sleek sport watch with chronograph-style timekeeping, two sub-dials aligned vertically on the dial and only the number nine actually placed amid the large dive-style hour markers. The adidas Black Chronology Watch features a comfortable rubber strap with a familiar buckle closure, while the hands and hour markers inside the 32-mm case are easy-to-read day or night against the black dial.

Uniqueness

The square push buttons on either side of the round crown/stem add to the chronograph look of the adidas Black Chronology Watch. The stainless steel bezel has a black coating from the 15-second mark to the 60-second mark while the zero to 15-second span is left in bare stainless steel as yet another homage to diving watches. The dial has a subdued adidas logo at the three-hour spot and the famous adidas triple stripe is cut into the strap itself on either side of the case.

Durability

Water resistant to just 100 meters lets you take the adidas Black Chronology Watch pretty much anywhere you might want to go, but unlike other sport watches that flirt with the sport-luxury and dress–luxury line, this watch is clearly on the sport side. This is not to say that you can’t wear it on a daily basis, but if your work wardrobe dictates a suit or even the more tailored side of casual work wear, then you’re well-advised to leave the adidas Black Chronology Watch at home or in the gym bag until the weekend arrives.
