Over the last year or so, we’ve been telling you about a number of different Tom Ford models that have been released. While most of those watches have featured quartz movements, now we’ve got one for all of you mechanical movement fans. Meet the Tom Ford 002 Limited-Edition Chronograph.
To my eyes, the handset and font used for the numerals – as well as the monochromatic color palette – really do call out that this is a Tom Ford. While it being a chronograph is ostensibly the star of the show, the subdials really blend into the dial, meaning you might overlook the chronograph setup in your day-to-day.
Another thing we’re seeing with the Tom Ford 002 Limited-Edition Chronograph is the case material. Here, titanium is called into service, which of course keeps things light and tough. On this watch, it’s treated to a black DLC coating. Flip the watch over, and along with Tom Ford’s signature, you’ll have a view of the Sellita SW510 movement.
Yup, that’s right, you’ve got a proper Swiss chrono movement tucked away in there, and it’s coming in at a price that’s less than you might expect, given where we’ve seen their quartz models hit. Only 150 of each color (black or white) of the Tom Ford 002 Limited-Edition Chronograph will be produced, at $2,995. tomford.com
