Introducing the GRAHAM Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon
GRAHAM continues its watchmaking prowess by launching a second remarkable technological timepiece which brings Superlight technology to its peak. The Chronofighter Superlight Carbon is the first carbon-fibre-made Chronofighter watch combining complex and unprecedented machining processes. Four different high-technology forms in high-strength carbon processing, innovative and not peculiar to watchmaking, have been used to create the Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon. The watch is enhanced by a superlight black carbon nanotube composite case, carbon trigger, bezel, dial and buckle. Light, soft and comfortable to wear, the Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon will survive rough treatment and the passage of time.
GRAHAM CHRONOFIGHTER OVERSIZE SUPERLIGHT CARBON
Beyond Technology
Only a high-level of ambition and extensive research enabled the creation of the impactful and reliable Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon watch. Perhaps, the easiest way to understand the technical feat is to think of the various carbon properties. Convenient, malleable and lightweight, carbon is the preferred material in aeronautics, car racing, aerospace, sports and other domains that require lightness, strength and performance. By combining carbon fibre and a strong polymer matrix, carbon fibre composites are simply reshaping the world of high performances. All the conditions are there to create the most resistant and lightest time machine.
GRAHAM has developed a case, made of carbon nanotube speckled composite.
The start and stop lever on the left of the case, the renowned GRAHAM signature, is made of plain carbon fibre –multi layers- and results from a very specific machining process. This means that the lever is a unique piece of carbon which provides the watch with more stiffness and enhanced usability.
Thanks to the instinctive and precise use of the carbon fibre trigger, the chronograph facilitates the measurement of speed thanks to a tachymeter scale and a reversed minute counter with a white painted indicator to show the starting point. The function emphasizes the intuitive use of the chronograph and immediate reading.
Tachymeter function
and black carbon dial
The shiny carbon bezel and dial perfectly finish the watch design and enable an optimum lightweight and shockproof use in all situations. Dedicated to adrenaline and advanced technology, the watch is set on a yellow integrated “Clous de Paris” strap with a plain carbon fibre buckle made of different parts and resulting from an inventive assembly process. No doubt you will create a fused relationship with the Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon.

GRAHAM
GRAHAM traces its origins to London clockmaker George Graham (1673-1751) who is considered the father of modern watch making. He is known as the father of the chronograph as he invented the start and stop device of the chronograph, the dead-beat and cylinder escapements, to name a few. He also built the master clock for Greenwich Royal Observatory which timed the majority of the achievements by the 18th century astronomers and sailors and many measuring instruments for scientists. GRAHAM SA was created in 1995 and develops outstanding and atypical watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
