The new Elite Chronograph Classic comes on a blue alligator strap, and is listed for $6,900 – which represents a price drop of $1,500 from last year’s model. As we’ve mentioned, the blue dial gives the watch a much altered character – with the original dial, it’s a very traditional looking, somewhat austere design; with the blue dial it becomes much more eye-catching and, dare I say it, more overtly fun and outgoing wristwatch, without losing any of the underlying classicism that makes the original so attractive.
