FORZO Glickenhaus Chronograph Black & Red RWB046-WH

Forzo’s Glickenhaus Chronograph takes inspiration from the classic motorsports chronographs of the 1960s, but updates them with a modern twist. This stylish chronograph is part of Forzo’s collection designed in collaboration with endurance racing pioneers Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus. The result is a watch that evokes the spirit of vintage chronographs, whilst still being an original contemporary piece rather than a homage.

The 40mm steel case is just 12.5mm thick (excluding the crystal), and with a lug-to-lug length of 47mm it wears very well on the wrist. The bezel is bidirectional and features 12-hour markings so that you can track a second time zone with ease.

To ensure the best scratch-resistance and legibility the Glickenhaus Chronograph has a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, as well as 100m water resistance to guarantee that you can wear it pretty much anywhere. Furthermore, the hands and markers are applied with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 lume for readability in low-light conditions.

The Glickenhaus Chronograph uses a Japanese Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement. This calibre is widely used by many watch brands as it mimics the functionality of a mechanical chronograph movement with an instantly resetting seconds hand whilst also offering the reliability of a quartz movement.

Why This Watch?

• The Glickenhaus Chronograph has a classic two-register styling that gives a vintage silhouette whilst still being an original design.
• Featuring a sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova, and a 100m depth rating, the Glickenhaus Chronograph is a watch that you can wear almost anywhere.
• The right subdial is the race timer, the inner scale counts down the 24 hours of the race starting at 4pm (16:00 on the outer scale). The colour split shows local sunrise and sunset.
