No need to argue for hours, this new watch is by no means original recreation of the original 1964 Crown Chronograph, for the main reason that it is time-and-date watch. The case has been increased in diameter compared to the 1964 watch, and now measure 41.3mm. This is, on the other hand, 1mm less than the chronograph version, and the thickness is also drastically reduced, with now 11.3mm in height (compared to 15.3mm for the SRQ031). No need to say that comfort will be improved. The design itself remains identical, with angular lugs evoking the old model and a succession of brushed and polished surfaces – including a nice angled bevel on the side of the lugs.
