What the research found
These are the research’s judgments, scored against Holden’s priorities, not his own words.
Strengths
- Exceptional slimness for an automatic chronograph: 11.0mm in the metal and 12.9mm total including domed sapphire crystal.
- Genuine automatic column-wheel chronograph movement (Peacock SL-4801) operating at 28,800 vph with 41 jewels and 55-hour power reserve.
- Inspected, lubricated, regulated, and quality-controlled in Germany.
- Strong Swedish design identity by David Campo with classic 1970s rally instrument styling, recessed Zorro mask subdials, and vivid orange timing accents.
- Permanent core collection model rather than an artificial limited edition.
- Versatile lug width (20mm) and affordable OEM bracelet/strap options at checkout.
Weaknesses
- 5 ATM (50m) water resistance strictly limited to everyday splashes and rain; explicitly unsuitable for swimming or water sports.
- Peacock SL-4801 movement is a newer Chinese-manufactured caliber with limited independent parts support across Western repair shops, meaning long-term service will likely require movement exchange or factory support.
- Busy dial layout and multi-colored sub-registers require closer attention to read minute intervals during quick timing tasks.
