Review of the Abingdon Amelia

Travel makes a great inspiration for a watch. Take the TX 530 here (model number T3C474TX): it's got world map as a dial, 24 cities around the bezel, and a retro design from the days when flight was glamorous. New in 2009, the 'World Time Airport Lounge' is a vintage-inspired design with a brand new six-motor quartz movement.Let's look at the details:Stainless steel case, 44mm by 13mm, 90g on the leather strap.Hour, minute, second, date, and a fourth hand for time in one of 24 global cities (simply set with the buttons).Water resistant to 100m (330ft).Unusual domed sapphire crystal, done in the look of a classy vintage watch.Signed screw-down crown with etched TX logo.Simple handling of daylight savings time with switchable summer/winter indicator.Lumed hour and minute hand.Read on for the full review. The lugs are 24mm wide so the G-2S (and theG-2) can be easily fitted to a bevy of strap options. I fitted the G-2Sto the rubber strap that normally stays on my LM-2 and was veryhappy to find it comfortable and considerably lighter than thebracelet (if you get an OCEAN7 watch, I highly recommend that you pick up the rubber strap as anaccessory). The size and weight of the G-2S is unchanged, and the watch is still verylarge and noticeable with its 17mm height. Thecase has changed slightly as a helium escape valve has beenintegrated at 10 o'clock and the chronograph pushers have been changedfrom paddle style pushers to more traditional screw down pushers. Theinclusion of an HeV shows that OCEAN7 is positioning the G-2S as a serious full featured tool dive watch.
