Then hopefully the large and quite voluminous time minute and/or hour hands are not anywhere between 6 and 9 at the dial, because in that case they will obstruct the stopwatch sub-register for a great deal, disabling you to functionally use the stopwatch. The words "Per Ardua Ad Astra" are printed on the band, Latin for "Through adversity to the stars" and the motto of the RAF. The hands of the watch are designed for maximum visibility, even while in flight, and like any good G-Shock, it is highly resistant to shocks. That means you can drop it from pretty much any height, and it will prevent contact failure and malfunction.

As the seconds and minutes of the stopwatch are indicated on the sub register at 8, which is originally the second time zone dial of the watch, I’m curious what will happen after 24 minutes when the 24-hour scale of the dial ends. of a second accuracy nice, however only able to record times up to 24 minutes is hardly usable as a serious stopwatch. Setting the alarm on and off is done by the pusher at 4 which makes the large second hand point at a blue printed ‘on’ and ‘off’ in the watch’ bezel. This is a watch which will be positively noticed, and is very exclusive (I’ve heard that only around 1.The dark grey base colour is similar to that of a stealth aircraft body, while white and green accent colours create the image of its cockpit glass.

At 11 there’s an even smaller third sub-register which I didn’t mention before as it didn’t do anything with the watch’ other functions.

The words "PER ARDUA AD ASTRA," Latin for "Beyond Adversity to the Stars" and the motto of the RAF, are printed on the band along with the RAF logo which creates a special look and compliments the overall theme. It’s important to remember that two stones of equal carat weight can differ in value depending on the other Cs: clarity, colour and most importantly of all, cut. Because they are arranged to resemble a helicopter control stick while also contributing to ease of operation.There was supposed to be some kind of G-Shock smartwatch (GSR-H1000) scheduled for October, but it is probably delayed until next year.

The number of the module in this watch is QW-5410 and Google-ing brings me quickly at Casio’s QW-5410 manual. A redesigned dial imitates the ebbs and flows of the jet’s surfaces, while the pushers on the right side of the case resemble its thrusters. I can imagine Royal Air Force personnel want to use a proper stopwatch and have readable access to Zulu (GMT) time at the least.Credit is provided by Novuna Personal Finance, a trading style of Mitsubishi HC Capital (UK) PLC Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
