The chronograph version of the Classico series offers the same vintage military style look that made Italo Fontana's U-Boat watches so popular, but adds the functionality and instrument-like style of the chronograph.
Traditionally the chronograph was used in many military operations in the air, on the ground, and at sea. While the use of mechanical instruments to measure time lapse has mostly been taken over by computerized and digital systems, it has become a well known and loved function and style for wrist-watches.
