With the Silverstone Time Zone, GRAHAM has decided to go into complications. Not the kind of complication you would imagine though. Automatic column wheel chronograph, flyback, rattrapante, big date, even sport’s tourbillon, we have done it all. We had to think hard to imagine what would be the most difficult challenge for our designers. And guess what we came up with. Create a small, minimalistic and elegant watch.
It took a lot of effort to condense all of GRAHAM’s strength, DNA and know-how into our first small-scale watch. One that is one hundred percent a GRAHAM. Because we don’t normally do small. Small, that is, in comparison to other GRAHAM watches. But we did it. The Silverstone Time Zone has it all in a thin 42 mm case: Automatic movement, hours, minutes, central second, and date. It even sports a big GMT function, because we know that GRAHAM lovers are all over what has become a “small” world. Minimalistic, and practical. But old habits do die hard. For example the numerals on the dial. A big 6 and a big 12 popped out. Wasn’t the brief to design a small watch, Mr. Designer? Well actually, GRAHAM Designer is right. These numerals help when it comes to reading time, and they are too typically GRAHAM not to have them. Pure GRAHAM DNA. Just like the refinement of colored stitches on the bracelet. Elegant and casual.
42 mm steel case. Calibre G1714, automatic self-winding movement, 21 jewels, 28,800 A/H (4Hz), Incabloc shock absorber, sided anti-reflective coating, 42 hours power reserve, domed sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating, see through sapphire case back and leather strap.

The above is from the Graham Press-Release I received this morning. Boy, almost did not recognize the brand without the bottle opener thing-a-ma-job or fish-eye sub dials. NICE! Not that I dislike those features, it is just that they are what makes Graham, well... GRAHAM. This is my favorite:
WHAT A WATCH!!!
