1. they like to use the term 'combat' which carries with it SOME responsibility. having a 'combat' chronograph with subdial & seconds hands that have NO lume is IMO potentially fraud if you ask me. the hour/minute hands as it is have so little lume it is merely a decoration. 2. in the same vein, calling this a 'combat' watch when it has the same water resistancy as a dress watch is mystifying. what type of combat are we talking about, chess in the park?
it's simply a lovely watch, gorgeous classic design, but misstating (nice term for not telling the truth) about what you're getting to fool people into thinking they're getting a different category timepiece is not cool. i'm a big fan of glycine quality, heritage and designs, but they're marketing dept. is better off in the used car industry.
as a note, i have recently purchased a glycine combat sub aquarius diver, now THAT's a combat watch, as are their normal combat subs. as said, love the brand, but the marketing is, in my personal opinion, off the mark on this watch. they may think using 'classic' in the name gets them off the hook, but i know of no vintage 'combat' chronos that had unlumed hands unless you go back before the 50s or thereabouts, and this case style is clearly a 7750 chrono design from the 70s (when the movement came into being)...so by its own 'classic' definition, the lume issue fails.
sorry to put a sour note on what is a very nice watch for the office.
