This timepiece was created to mark the 20th anniversary of the online watch discussion forum TimeZone.
TimeZone was founded in 1995. It is internationally recognized as the world’s oldest and largest online watch community. In 2015 to mark its 20th anniversary, Time Zone collaborated with the independent watchmaking team of Maria and Richard Habring of Habring² to create a limited edition watch.
Based on the Habring² Chrono CS, the TimeZone 20th Anniversary watch is a limited edition of 20 pieces. It is equipped with a mechanical hand-wound chronograph movement.
It has a 42mm diameter case made of stainless steel.
