Add a sporty edge to your professional and casual couture with the Swatch Windfall men's chronograph watch, which offers a classic design and silver/black coloring. The brushed aluminum case is topped by a black-plated bezel with tachymeter readings in white, which can be used to measure time over distance. The gunmetal dial face includes three black chrono subdials (enabling you to time events down to 1/10 of a second), stylized skeleton hands with seconds hand and luminous tips, white stick hour markers, and small minute indexes around the outer edge. The aluminum bracelet band has a brushed finish and center links covered by black plastic plackets. Other features include precise Swiss quartz movement, date window at 4 o'clock, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and snowspray, but not suitable for swimming.
