 Gavox Squadron Review A True chanel j12 |

These days, we've got quite an abundance of watches that either intend to mimic military or aviation watches of the past, or even that are re-releases from older catalog items. If you want to get into a watch that has actually been on the wrists of service members, however, your options are a bit more limited, unless you go vintage. Fortunately for you, there is a new option on tap – the replica chanel j12. Now, to look at the piece, you immediately know that it's a chronograph. Past that, though? You'd be hard-pressed to tell that this was a military-issue piece, let alone one for an Air Force. That's precisely what it is, however. In 2013, the Belgian Air Force reached out to Gavox to create a watch that would meet their needs. On the surface of it, most of these specs will be familiar to us - sapphire crystals with AR coating, 100m water resistance rating, and an outer timing bezel, for starters. When we get into the functionality, though, we see some new twists. First up, let's have a look at the chronograph. It's of the 12-hour variety, but it accomplishes this via a single register (at 9 o'clock) that tracks both the minutes and hours (via two hands, of course). What does that mean the other registers are tracking? The one over at 3 o'clock is the running seconds; no surprises there, as on just about any replica chanel watches watch intended for professional use there has to be an indication that the watch is indeed running. It is the one at 6 o'clock that's unexpected: it is actually how you set the alarm. Given that it has a 12-hour scale, you can set this no more than 12 hours in advance. Once set, though, you'll get a digital chirp going off at the appointed time. It was a nice feature, and works as advertised, although in a noisy setting, it is near impossible to hear. In an office or at home, however, it works just fine. Regardless, it is not something we see that often in an analog watch, and it is all made possible by a Swiss-parts version of the Ronda 5130.D. That covered the needs the Air Force had, in terms of pure capability, and it was left to Gavox to determine the styling. As you might suspect, they looked to the past for the Gavox Squadron's design. Specifically, they drew inspiration from the aviation chronographs of the 1950s. This nets a very crisp and readable look – the white markings, numerals, and handset contrast sharply with the matte black dial.With the handset, I thought Gavox did a good job. The shorter hour hand calls to mind the fliegers that have the secondary hour track printed on the inner ring, and I like the needle tips both hands exhibit. If it were up to me, though, I would have perhaps widened and lengthened the hour hand a touch, as the taper from the needle tip does make it seem shorter than it is. |
