Are we sure about this one? Not a Crosswind, but Chrono Sirius had a dial variant similar to this.

no, Roff; frankly was a bit unsure; not a Crosswind for sure, not a cal. 13 as the seller claims & the bezel & dial quality seemed quite low; but it really might be a Cal. 53 Sirius ?
bnewbie, Sharkmouth or Adrian will know.

It 'looks' fake - quality, date font, etc, but there is a gold dial out there for this period and unusual to see fakes of these relatively early pieces that aren't obvious spots.

Freely confess to not knowing much about these early 90s quartz. As you say, others will know for sure.

Dial is a bit unusual but I think its a real Chrono Sirius.

Never seen a gold dial Chrono Sirius before. Looks very odd!
