Harry Winston has been making timepieces that are recognized for their design as well as their innovation for over 2 decades. Collections such as The Opius Series have left their unique mark on the horological heritage. The brand has now created a timepiece for sports watch lovers and it is the new Ocean Sport Chronograph. Stylish and functional, this watch is just the right accessory to complement any formal or casual look. The fine mechanics and functional precision seen in the other Harry Winston timepieces is also seen with this watch. Recently released to the market, there are only a limited 300 units of this watch available at the moment.
This timepiece comes in beautiful light grey and white hues with blue spots that give it a chic and stylish look. The watch has a case that is 44 millimeter in diameter and 14.8 millimeter thick and is made of Zalium, which is one of the signature features of Harry Winston watches. Zalium, a hypoallergenic alloy made of zirconium and aluminum, is a light but tough metal that keeps the watch resistant to corrosion and scratches. The bezel is also made of this alloy. The dial has a sophisticated, three-dimensional look with its graphic cut-outs that focus the eye on the display mechanism. It is rhodium plated and has a Clous de Paris engraving, which is a guilloche pattern on the hollowed lines that intersect to form tiny pyramidal shapes. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal that is very resistant to scratches.
The watch is powered by a mechanical movement with automatic winding function. The Swiss movement has 42 hour power reserve and runs at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This timepiece has several features that include hours, minutes, seconds, and chronograph functions, with hour and minute counters at the 6 and 9 o’clock positions respectively. Additionally, there is a shot-peened date display at the 12 o’clock position and the Harry Winston logo at the 3 o’clock position. The lugs and chronograph pushers are coated with diamond like carbon that makes them extremely durable. Furthermore, this model is also water resistant up to 200 meters.
This watch comes in black rubber strap and folding buckle that is made for comfort when worn and complements the sporty look of the timepiece. It combines the multifunction of sports watch with the sophisticated features of a luxury watch. This Harry Winston ocean sport chronograph is a quality watch that is currently listed at $ 31,500.

Harry Winston will soon launch this new collection of watches called the Ocean Sport. While I don’t think the name sounds particularly high-end (though the Ocean is a long standing Harry Winston watch), they are interesting are relatively simple and satisfying sport versions of the iconic Harry Winston Ocean watch fare.
The Ocean Sport will have a few versions, and pieces for both men and women. Style wise they feel very much influenced by some Roger Dubuis pieces from the last few years. Does anyone else see that? What connects each of the Ocean Sport watches is an aesthetic theme as well as a Zalium case. Zalium is a special titanium alloy unique to Harry Winston watches. Connected to the watches are either black or white HW branded rubber straps.
The men’s models come with light or dark cases and in chronograph or three-hand models. These are called the Harry Winston Ocean Sport Chronograph or Ocean Sport Automatic watches. They are 44mm wide in satin finished Zalium cases. According to Harry Winston certain sections of the case are DLC coated. With sapphire crystals over the dial the cases are 200 meters water resistant. They look to have diver style bezels, but the bezels don’t appear to be the types that rotate.
The three-hand automatic is going to be the easier to read, but the dial isn’t as interesting as the Chronograph. With its dark tones, different styles of chronograph subdials and increased complexity, the Chronograph however might be a more interesting watch. The chronograph pushers look enjoyable to use. The dark tones on the exposed movement are said to be black ruthenium.
Aside from the two men’s versions there are two women’s versions. For the ladies there is a Ocean Sport Ladies Chronograph in a polished Zalium case that is 38mm wide. It has diamonds on it as well as a different style of dial and case. There really are a lot of differences between the men’s and women’s models. Inside the Ladies Chronograph is an automatic movement. There is also a smaller 36mm wide two-hand Ocean Sport Quartz model. This one has just the time and minutes with a Swiss quartz movement on the inside. This version has the most elegant dial, and again includes diamonds on the dial.
The collection is fun but also a bit conservative. I think that Harry Winston will do well this them though the overall presentation could have been refined just a little bit to offer more timeless designs.

Maybe one of the most interesting Mondaine watches I have worn lately – this “Night Vision” version of their famous Swiss Railways watch comes with tritium gas tubes as well as a big date indicator. Still, it retains that classic look one seeks when wearing a watch like this.
You really need to travel in Switzerland a bit (at least by train) to fully understand that this indeed is the look of the clocks in the train stations around Switzerland. The national railway logo in red and white accompanied by SBB CFF FFS is right there on the dial as well. I still have no idea what those nine letters stand for by the way. They seem a bit excessive if you ask me. Oh well, that is Swiss tradition for you.
I would never consider a standard Mondaine watch a sport watch. It is much more a simple casual watch in my opinion. Though Mondaine brands this one as a sport piece. It’s full name is the Mondaine Men’s Night Vision Tritium Sport (ref. A669.30308.14SBB). Is the sport name because of the tritium gas tubes? Sort of, but I don’t think that should automatically make it, or any other watch that you can see in the dark more easily a sport watch. Tritium gas tubes are small tubes filled with a mild (and safe) radioactive compound that glows naturally for about 20-25 years. These tubes are placed in the watch hour and minute hands, as well as near each hour marker. This allows for rather easy viewing of the time in the dark.
Aside from the tubes in the hands, you really can’t see the other tubes unless you are in the dark. They are integrated into the flange ring and seen through the 12 little angular holes. The standard applied hour markers in white are what are more visible in normal light. What I believe Mondaine was going for here was to retain the core look of the watch but also add the functionality of the gas tubes.
The watch comes in both black and white dial versions. The white dialed version has black hands and hour indicators. Both are highly legible. On the dial is also the big-date indicator which is part of the Swiss quartz movement (from Ronda I believe). The dial is covered with a domed mineral crystal – which is acceptable for the price. The crystal is very clear with almost no dial distortion.
On the wrist this model is 41mm wide in a brushed steel case. I love the inset red lacquer in the crown where the “M” logo is. That is a nice stylized touch. The watch case is water resistant to 30 meters. A bit low for a watch with “sport” in the name. Adding a screw down crown could easily have increase that to 50-100 meters I believe. The watch actually wears smaller than 41mm because the widest part of the case is in the middle. You’ll notice that the bezel rounds in a bit, helping to create the illusion that the watch wears smaller than it is.
Attached to the case is a nice rugged feeling leather strap in black with white contrast stitching. There is a Mondaine signed buckle on it. Wearing comfort for the watch is what you’d come to expect from this watch size and shape. It will become increasingly comfortable as the strap rounds to your particular wrist. For a convenient and slightly avant garde conservative watch with some added functionality, the Mondaine Big Date NIght Vision Swiss Railways watch is an easy choice. Price is $ 325.
Thanks to Mondaine for the review unit. Opinions are 100% independent.
