The F1 event is not only a contest of speed, but also a feast of mechanical art. At the 2025 F1 Oriental Grand Prix, the enthusiasm of racing fans is intertwined with the carnival of watch friends. Let us discuss those advanced chronographs that can also shine on the track and see which one can become the “champion” in your mind.
Cousins are enthusiastic about the 2025 F1 Eastern Power Grand Prix
The 2025 F1 Eastern Grand Prix has begun. In addition to many racing fans, there are also many cousins participating.
This game not only has speed and passion, but also the participation of many top timing tools.
In the F1 arena, the importance of timing tools is self-evident. They are not only tools used to record time, but also precise mechanical works of art.
Therefore, during the F1 event, watch enthusiasts’ enthusiasm for advanced chronographs was also unprecedentedly high.
Three recommended advanced chronographs
Today I would like to recommend three advanced chronographs to you to satisfy your dual pursuit of speed and accuracy.
The first one is the Omega Speedmaster series 310.92.44.50.01.001 (Apollo 8 small rocket), which is called the “little rocket” by watch friends.
This watch is the 50th anniversary model of the Omega Speedmaster series, commemorating the launch of the Apollo 8 spacecraft.
Its case is made of full ceramic, and its dial is black, with small golden rockets and golden hands, which is very cool.
There is a special countdown scale on the dial. From 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock, the countdown scales are 12 hours, 10 hours, 8 hours and 6 hours respectively.
Because the Apollo 8 spacecraft was the first spacecraft for humans to enter lunar orbit, it has the words “Arrived at the Moon” on the back of its watch.
This watch is equipped with the Omega 3869 movement. As the coaxial chronograph movement of the Speedmaster series, it has a 50-hour power reserve and is certified by the observatory.
Choice of advanced chronographs and personal style
The second model is the Zenith DEFY series 03.9500.3600/51.I001. The Zenith brand has a long history in the F1 arena.
This watch is a newly released chronograph by Zenith, which belongs to the DEFY series and is equipped with the new El Primero 3600 movement.
It uses brushed and polished processes, the bezel and crown are polished, and the case is brushed, giving it a minimalist yet luxurious feel.
The El Primero 3600 movement equipped on this watch has a 1/10-second timing function, very high timing accuracy, and a 60-hour power reserve.
This watch is very suitable for watch friends who like F1 racing and the Zenith brand.
The combination of F1 events and high-end watches
The third model is the IWC Portuguese series IW371626. This watch is very popular among the many chronographs of IWC.
This watch is made of platinum, the case is very heavy, and with an ice blue dial, it looks very good.
This Portuguese chronograph with an ice blue dial is a limited edition, with only 250 pieces available worldwide. Currently, all domestic counters have been sold out.
This watch is equipped with IWC’s own 69355 automatic chronograph movement, which has a 46-hour power reserve and calendar display function.
Watch friends who like F1 racing should know that IWC is the official partner of the Mercedes-Benz team.
Conclusion
This F1 event not only makes people excited, but also gives us a deeper understanding of high-end watches. These three advanced chronographs each have their own merits.
