Most watches really come in the same basic colors, black, brown, silver, etc.  Breaking from that norm is a bit tough to do.  The JG1900 line from Jorg Gray takes on the challenge of throwing some of the new trend of loud and bold colors at a more traditional watch design.  Coming in blue, yellow, orange or green.  You even have the option of a non-chronograph version too.

Dial & Case
Matching the dial and case in the same color is pretty tough to do considering they use different materials.  Jorg Gray has managed to match both perfectly in color.  The same color on the bezel is continued onto all the markings and numbers of the dial.  There are only two colors on the entire case and dial with the exception of the date window which is needed in order to read it easier.  Because of these colors you do miss out on lume, but if that is not something you need you may not miss it.

The case itself is 43mm in diameter and is topped off with a mineral crystal.  The design of everything from the case to the numbering, and even the hands is a squared off look that really ties the entire design together.  The lugs pick up this same design by being squared at their ends instead of the usual tapered design.

Movement & Function
A Japanese Miyota Quartz chronograph movement is the driver for this piece.  Utilizing a trusted quartz movement is a surefire way of instilling accuracy and long life into the watch.  The chrono buttons and crown are small and understated as to not detract from the main color and theme of this watch. 

Band
A matching black leather band is utilized to continue the matte black from the case.  A smooth textured matte finish on the outside of the band, and a very soft interior with no stitching makes it very comfortable to the touch.  The band doesn't creak or feel stiff at all, it has an overall solid and one piece feel.

Overall
An MSRP of $385USD is a comfortable starting price to the JG1900 Chrono.  But if you don't need a chrono the price drops to $265USD.  Its components and construction are solid and give the sense that this piece will not wear quickly at all.  With a great array of colors you may have a tough time choosing though.  After two weeks we will be back with a final review.  In the meantime if you have any questions please feel free to ask in the Comments section below, and check out more Jorg Gray at their website.
