    • My Life: Oakley Helps me Reach Grown Status!

    img_3442

    The good Folks over at Oakley read my “grown man watch post” and decided to help me with my pursuit of achieving grown man status and sent me over a watch today! This watch retails for $1000, not quite the $6000 price tag I was taking about but definitely a step in that direction. Oakley has been making watches for over 10 years and have mastered some of the qualities you might want in a watch. This particular watch is called the Crankcase, see the specifications below.

    CRANKCASE Watch
    Sometimes the most inspiring thing about our athletes is their unique sense of style. The Oakley CRANKCASE watch captures it with the kind of sophistication that commands the day and owns the night. Engineered for a life with momentum, this true Swiss Made chronograph lets you gauge the moments that refuse to stand still.

    Measure added time and split time down to a tenth of a second with the ease of dedicated sub dials. The top bezel can be rotated for an additional measure of time, and a number scale around the perimeter of the dial lets you compute speed, based on travel time. This chronograph comes with the precision of 13-jewel Swiss Movement and the durability of water resistance equivalent to the pressure at 330 feet (100 meters) beneath the surface. The impact-forged stainless steel case is shielded with carbon reinforced impact bumpers and matched with a pure sapphire crystal, enhanced with anti-reflective coating. To elevate comfort to the level of style, the sculptural stainless steel links are crafted with self-lubricating thrust washers.
