The present model was made to commemorate the 20th anniversary of East Coast Jewelers, one of Graham's largest retailers and based in South Florida.

The present example was produced in a limited series of only 20 pieces numbered, of which the present lot is number 12. 

The Chronofighter was designed as a tribute to the pilots of the Royal Air Force. The left-handed orientation and unusual chronograph pushers of this watch echo the needs of the pilots and navigators of British bombers who would have to measure time at high altitudes without needing to remove their gloves.
