The 2015 Graham Silverstone RS Racing collection is offered in three finishes that you can buy either individually or as a set with a pair of nice sunglasses (paying an impressive amount of around $18,000). Although the device doesn’t look groundbreaking in any way, it is still a nice gadget for a person who prefers fresh-looking sporty timekeepers to time-proven (and thus boring) collections from the major brands.
Graham
Graham Silverstone RS Skeleton Chronograph LE
Besides the dazzling 2012 Geo.Graham, the high-tech Silverstone collection is the most elegant in Graham’s current product line-up. While different iterations of the Chronofighter and a more sports-oriented Prodive collection are too exaggerated, and too extravagant for my taste, the Silverstone series has always been an example in sporty elegance.
With its open-worked dial and carefully designed case, the Graham Silverstone RS Skeleton (refs. 2STAC1.B01A in red, 2STAC2.B01A in green, and 2STAC3.B01A in blue) takes this elegance to a new level of sophistication.
Graham Silverstone Stowe USA Edition 2BLDC.W07C.K47S
Back in August 2012, Graham introduced its sporty Silverstone Stowe Racing Mexico (2BLDC.B27A) limited-edition chronograph. In October 2012, the British-based brand started selling yet another limited-edition version of the watch. Designed exclusively for the U.S. market, the new Graham Silverstone Stowe USA Limited Edition (Ref. 2BLDC.W07C.K47S) features a radically different, cool, and clean color scheme, as well as another movement.
Graham Chronofighter Prodive Professional 600M Diver
It looks, just like it is with their new Graham Chronofighter Prodive Professional diver, the British-based brand has finally found a good use for its (in)famous trigger-style chronograph push-piece. Capable of starting, stopping and resetting the chronograph even deep underwater, the trigger looks like an ideal choice for a watch, which is supposed to be operated by gloved hands. I mean, just imagine how comfortable it could be to operate the time measuring complication in situations where you just don’t have time to feel a small, traditionally shaped pusher whether it is located somewhere on the piece’s back or even on the winding crown itself!
Graham Silverstone Stowe Racing Edition Mexico
Watchmaking brands all over the civilized world (especially those that have a sporty model or two in their vast product ranges) LOVE to be associated with the high-revving world of motorsports in general and the guys that tend to win a lot of races in particular. The British watchmaker Graham is absolutely no exception here.
That’s why they dedicated their new Graham Silverstone Stowe Racing Mexico Limited Edition 100 to Mr. Mario Dominguez, a Mexican racing driver that, according to Wikipedia, had competed in the CART and CCWS Champ Car series and even had his podium in the IndyCar Series back in 2008.
Graham Chronofighter 1695 Hotsy Totsy (2CXAP.S03A)
Graham’s watches are rarely straightforward, but this 2012 Graham Chronofighter 1695 Hotsy Totsy (Ref. 2CXAP.S03A) provokes the most acute attack of cognitive dissonance. I mean, could you expect a classic, vintage-style dress watch to be equipped with a huge, M1 Garand-style trigger made from 18-karat rose gold?
