2019 MAT Chrono Black Automatic 44mm AG5 CHL 1

Here we have a 2019 MAT Chrono Black Automatic 44mm AG5 CHL 1 (Ref. AG5 CHL 1). Masterfully engineered for extreme environments, this rugged, military-grade chronograph has a stealthy, all-black aesthetic built for durability and utilitarian performance. The commanding 44mm stainless steel case, finished in a matte black PVD coating, cuts a powerful silhouette on the wrist with its robust, angular lug profile and uncompromising tool-watch architecture. A functional lug-to-lug length of 50mm and a substantial case thickness of 16mm give this watch a formidable, vault-like wrist presence that is built to withstand heavy operational duty. Down the left side, heavy-duty oversized chronograph pushers flank a screw-down crown protected by aggressive guards, ensuring dependable water resistance and shock protection. A unidirectional rotating bezel with a clear 60-minute graduation scale frames the face, ideal for critical timing tracking. The thick sapphire crystal features an anti-reflective coating and sits flush above a deep matte black dial optimised for high-contrast, zero-reflection legibility. Applied hour markers and bold, oversized hands are heavily infilled with high-grade Super-LumiNova to deliver exceptional visibility in low-light tactical scenarios. The dial features a classic vertical triple-register layout, positioning a 30-minute counter at 6 o'clock and a 12-hour counter at 12 o'clock. The yellow central chronograph seconds hand sweeps with authoritative precision around the dial, backed by a robust water-resistance rating, ready for demanding field use. Inside beats the legendary automatic ETA/Valjoux Cal. 7750 movement, a high-frequency, stone-cold reliable mechanical workhorse renowned throughout the watchmaking industry for its accuracy and near-indestructible construction. Operating at a steady 28,800 vibrations per hour, this automatic movement provides dependable timekeeping and an enduring power reserve you can trust in the field. The watch comes paired with three MAT 24mm straps. This watch includes its original MAT box and paperwork.
