Ventus means wind, which is appropriate, because when in offshore sailboat racing success comes down to weather and timing. Three pieces made up the collection: the Terra (land), the Aqua (diving) and the Ventus, which is the sailing edition. The idea was that you could go from weekend to weekday without changing your watch. A few years ago they introduced a more upscale line of watches called Elementum featuring steel cases instead of the usual plastic, leather straps and sapphire crystals. Sunnto is the undisputed king of multifunction watches they pretty well invented the genre with their mountaineering watches back in the 1990s. The rotating internal ring allows for tracking of altitude change or compass heading it’s harder to use with an oxygen-starved brain than a digital watch, but you wanted to rough it, right? The massive titanium case and supple long rubber strap are amazingly comfortable, and this is an Eco-Drive, so unlike a lot of other battery-hogging multifunction watches, the Altichron won’t crap out on you as you’re making the summit push. The maximum altitude tops out at over 30,000 feet, so unless you find a mountain higher than Everest, you’re covered. Altitude is displayed across three scales, one for 10,000-foot intervals (which does double duty as a power reserve gauge), one for 1,000s, one for 10s. While the dial looks busy at first glance, it’s actually a cinch to read once you get the scheme. Press the color-coded buttons and watch the matching hands slowly move around the dial to display altitude in feet or your compass heading. While digital may be the best way to display information, we still have a soft spot for analog, and the Altichron is like wearing an aircraft instrument on your wrist. The new Altichron is not the watch to wear if you don’t want to draw attention it’s big, it’s bad and it’s colorful. There are also alarms and a digital chronograph to round out the features.īuy Now: $1,025 Citizen Promaster Altichron Tapping it at various points activates the functions - barometer for weather prediction, altimeter, thermometer (take it off your sweaty wrist first), even a compass that you can use in concert with the rotating bezel for navigation. Of course, the feature that makes the T-Touch unique and gives it its name is the touch-sensitive sapphire crystal. Its 43-millimeter case and comfortable link bracelet are hewn from strong, light, and resistant titanium coupled with the carbon fiber dial, the watch’s look is modern and clean and wouldn’t look out of place under a shirtsleeve on Monday morning, which is more than we can say about most multifunction watches. But the T-Touch Expert is the handsomest of the lot while providing the most versatile functions.
