I've wanted a Marine Chronometer for quite some time so when Gnomon received a new shipment I thought the time was right. This is the 'smaller' version at 44mm but it still has about the maximum wrist presence I can handle. All the usual statements about a Steinhart apply; good quality, good price, good value. I especially like the highly decorated movement.

Here are the specifications and a few pictures.

Very nice indeed! I would describe it as a classical watch!

That's lovely.

I refrained during the recent CW sale.

Great pics, Mr Rick.
I like the upgraded decoration on the movement, and the watch looks great.

Congrats!

Superb looking watch, Rick...that is what Mr. Ward needs to make in 38mm size!

No...I definitely meant 38mm! (or 36 even!)

Love the look of that movement.

I'd love something at 38mm.

now 36mm is just too teensy!!

And 1mm bigger than my Nomos!

Fair point!!

Seriously though my 'Cocktail' at 40mm is about ideal for me in a dressy watch, I think I would struggle with anything much smaller.

Thats lovely Mr Rick,

I have been looking at this for last 2 days thinking shall i or not. I think i am almost there now.

Just curious, is it actually 14mm thick or is that a web mistake (hoping)
