It was a daunting mission with a low chance of survival and the fate of the world in the balance. In other words, just another Tuesday at the office. My task was to parachute into the Swiss Alps and infiltrate a criminal mastermind’s lair, but first I had to visit Desmond, my outfit’s resident gearhead. Before I knew it, he’d slapped this baby on my wrist: the Swiss Commando Chronograph. Elegant. Sporty. Black. Equipped with a Swiss-made Ronda precision movement, water-resistant to 10 ATM, and featuring a date window, center stop function and both 30-minute and 12-hour counts, this watch means serious business. Finished off with a black stainless steel case, silicone strap and brass dial, it’s a timepiece with looks that could kill. I was impressed, but asked Desmond if it could shoot poisonous darts or hid a garotte wire. He smiled and shook his head. “Good luck, Jack,” said Desmond. “Please bring it back in one piece this time.” — Jack B.
