The Torgoen T44 range now comes with a steel bracelet option for that dress watch look, or just a release from buying a leather strap every couple of years.

Otherwise the quartz chronograph remains the same stylish mix of 44mm case diameter, sub-dials, plus cream, blue or black colours. There’s also a date feature and 100m of water resistance. Nice package we think, but at $525 there are lots of quartz chrono competitors on the market, from mainstream brands like Citizen, Lorus, Tissot etc plus a boatload of Indie brands.
