The reverse facet options an outer pulsometer and tachymetric scale, and a single chronograph seconds hand mounted on the middle. The concept right here, I suppose, is that if the chronograph wanted to be engaged for both of these two features, the watch may very well be simply “flipped” and the consumer would have a transparent, unobstructed view of the dimensions they wanted. It appears simply as doubtless, although, that the choice was one pushed by aesthetics. I ponder how sensible a flippable case like this actually is. I’d argue that it’s nearly actually not as sensible as it’s cool for the sake of being cool, however that’s not one thing to be taken without any consideration in watchmaking. The satisfying “click on” of a hinged case locking into place is a novel pleasure.
The watch is powered by Hamilton’s H-41 automated chronograph motion with 60 hours of energy reserve, and the chronograph may be operated whereas the case is in both place due to recessed buttons constructed into the case that line up with the massive pushers within the customary positions. As you’d most likely count on, the Face-2-Face III isn’t precisely slim and trim, and is available in at a complete of 17.25mm tall. Not precisely below the radar, however all the higher for displaying off the watch’s extra distinctive attributes.
