Building upon the Captain Cook’s success, the Captain Cook Chronograph adds something different to the range and keeps it at the forefront of the very latest design, technology and style.
The new Captain Cook Chronograph features the same, charming, box-shaped glass, in scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides.
The thinner, more comfortable and stylish 43mm case, in either polished stainless steel or circular-brushed bronze, features a polished high-tech-ceramic inlay on the bezel, in blue or black.
The latter presents a silver-to-blue gradient, another silver-to-black and another a blue sunray finish, all of them, I think, look exquisite next to the appliquéd indices, markers and numerals.
Of course, this collection is designed to be just as functional as it is stylish, so key elements are treated with Super-LumiNova for excellent readability even in low-light conditions.
The rotating anchor symbol remains one of my favourite touches, in rhodium against a red backplate.

The dial is balanced, with a chronograph dial at 9, standard seconds at 3 o’clock, and a lower date window at 6 o’clock.
The date itself is displayed in red against silver, in keeping with former models.

Inside is the new, thinner R801 automatic movement. It has 37 jewels, five hands and 59 hours of power reserve.
As is pretty much standard now for Swatch Group watches, the Captain Cook features a Nivachron anti-magnetic hairspring for increased protection from magnetic fields.
The Captain Cook Chronograph is supplied with two additional straps, the specifics of which depend on which model you choose.
