Krieger TIDAL WAVE™ Chronoscope

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Krieger Watch Corporation, launches the 2nd generation of the innovative Tidal Watch collection. The original Krieger Tidal Watch launched a revolution in marine watches.  Ever since its introduction some two decades ago, it has served the needs of weekend mariners and professional sportsmen alike, becoming the most revered and imitated watch in recent maritime history. Justifiably acclaimed for its ability to accurately display the present state of the tides, the Tidal Chronoscope can predict with uncanny precision just how many hours until the next high or low tide. Immensely strong, each Tidal Wave Chronoscope is hand-made in Switzerland by expert craftsmen.  Its casing is machined from a solid block of stainless steel, and fitted with a double dome sapphire crystal. Anti-reflective coating adds superior optical clarity. While the water resistances of other ordinary watches are measured in feet, the Tidal Wave is measured in miles, with a water resistance rating to almost one-half-mile (2640 feet).  The watch is boldly oversized. The large tide indicator hand rotates clockwise to indicate the state of the tide.  Detailed sub-dial provides for the tidal range, neap and spring tides. Screw down pushbuttons enable the wearer to quickly set the tides and moon phase at a moment’s notice.  The manually rotating bezel is engraved with a solar compass. Thoroughly masculine and a scientific and technical marvel, the Tidal Wave is available in a wide choice of finely detailed dial treatments including multi, black, blue, yellow, white and light blue.  In steel bracelet or luxurious natural rubber strap. The Krieger Tidal Wave Chronoscope. A serious instrument for the serious sportsman. The Tidal Chronoscope retails  $1,795 on a strap and $2,195 on a bracelet. Available in matte or polished.
