Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon Skeleton Limited Edition Watch Review

Fierce, fantastic and fascinating, the new Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon Skeleton watch is the latest release from British timepiece manufacturer Graham and boasts a mesmerising skeletonised dial, superlight black carbon composite case and a unique carbon bezel with shimmering golden filaments. This impressive limited edition is one of only 100 pieces and retails at a remarkable £8,390.

Measuring to a bold size of 47mm, the case of the Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon Skeleton Limited Edition watch is nicely balanced out by ultra-lightweight black carbon composite that weighs less than 100g. This composite material is a new technology by Graham recently introduced into their Chronofighter collection that is going to be a huge hit for watch fans who like larger sized watches without the nuisance of extra weight.

Alongside the carbon case, this Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon Skeleton watch is fitted with a titanium casing ring with diamond molecular structure and a carbon bezel beautifully decorated with stunning golden filaments. The chronograph pushers are crafted from black rubber detailed with a ‘Clous de Paris’ high grip pattern while the transparent sapphire crystal case back is beautifully decorated with a red ‘superlight carbon’ inscription to commemorate the famous collection.

The enchanting black skeletonised dial gives us a view into the G1790 automatic movement including the exquisite balance wheel and escapement which spin and twirl with every flick of the wrist. The movement itself is designed from black chrome with hand drawn strokes for decoration and an oscillating weight with engraved detailing. The automatic chronograph movement also boasts 29 jewels and a power reserve of 48 hours.

Housed beneath the domed scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass with antireflective coating, the dial is detailed with bold red accents, white Superluminova graduation on the hour and minute hands and the brand logo at 12 o clock. The dial is also equipped with two sub-dials for 30 minutes counter and seconds alongside hour, minute and chronograph seconds hands.

Limited to only 100 pieces, the Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon Skeleton Limited Edition watch is destined to sell out when it is released in August. For more information on this watch and where to pre-order your own, click here.
