Here is the complete collection, I just got the Chronospace back from an overhaul and I'm real happy it's back in the fold. :D
They all get plenty of wrist time.

Great watches! Any story behind them?

Well,
Being in Law Enforcement for 26 years I'm sure that if my watches could talk they would have some great stories :wink:

As for this group, I had an early Aerospace and Superocean and stupidly sold them. When the oppurtunity came up I replaced them with these 2, I upgraded to the UTC module version Aerospace as well as the yellow SOP. I won't make the mistake of selling these again.
The Chronospace was always on my want list especially with the dark grey face which does not come along too often and looks great with the applied gold logo and markers. I was very surprised to get one with the matching UTC also. A recent overhaul has this one looking and running like new!
The Chronomat on bullet bracelet is my dress watch, the 24 hour white UTC was found NOS at my AD so I had to have it. I have not seen too many in white.

While I do like the UTC modules, I also have the standard non-UTC bracelet for each watch for when I want to look a bit more mainstream.

For some reason, the bullet bracelet does not do it for me.

Very nice - great collection indeed and it's good to see some less common combos.

I always liked the look of the bullet bracelet on the Chronomat so once I tried one I found it so comfortable that the original never gets used.
I also thought UTC modules would be uncomfortable but find that to be quite the opposite. :D

nice collection! Love the different dials on the pieces!

Thanks and funny you should mention the dial colors,
Actually the dials on the Aerospace and the Chronospace are very similar but the different anti-glare coating makes them appear different.
The older Chronospace has a purple tint AR while the newer Aerospace has a more blue tint to it.

Excellent collection, very nice!

Would it be possible to find and assemble a yellow UTC to the SO?

aleister,

I had actually thought about that and Since the Chronospace pro 1 bracelet would fit perfectly on the SOP I could do it.
but, I think the UTC module is more of a pilot watch thing rather then a diver watch thing.

Plus the SOP has a depth rating of 5000 ft and the UTC only 300 ft.
