Charlie Paris Watch: Grx Chronograph Spectral

CHARLIE GRX Spectral Chrono: The field watch, signed Charlie

Inspired by military and field watches, the Charlie Paris GRX Spectral Chronograph offers a high-tech alternative in a sporty 39 mm case. This version features a spectral grey dial that echoes the distinct urban touch found on the GRX line.

Under the hood, the Seiko VK64 mecaquartz movement ensures quartz precision while providing a mechanical feel through a chronograph seconds hand with a smooth sweep (5 bps) and an instant flyback feature. It includes hours, minutes, date, a 24-hour sub-dial, and a minute + second chronograph.

The black PVD 316L steel case (39 mm x 45 mm lug-to-lug) features a satin finish and a polished chamfer; it has a thickness of 10.9 mm (excluding the crystal) and incorporates a screw-down case back engraved with the "GRX" logo.

The crystal is a slightly domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating. The overmolded crown features the "X" mark. Water resistance reaches 10 ATM (100 m), successfully tested.

The grey dial is punctuated by large Arabic indices, sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock, and a date window at 6 o'clock. The hands and indices are coated with luminescent Berlaglow® pigment, ensuring nighttime readability.

Delivered with a nylon, rubber, or leather strap, interchangeable without tools via a quick-release system. 20 mm width, 110/80 mm length, pin buckle.

Everything is assembled by hand in the Charlie Paris workshop in Paris, with eco-friendly packaging (recycled cardboard, recyclable ABS, FSC certificates). 2-year warranty.
