Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Edox CO-1 Carbon Chronograph Automatic

The Edox CO-1 Carbon Chronograph Automatic is a robust 45mm automatic chronograph with a carbon composite case, noted for its lightweight and scratch-resistant properties. Reviewers praise its excellent machining tolerances for the price and the unique, powerboat-inspired design. However, the substantial 45mm size and 16.8mm thickness, along with a heavy clasp, can lead to discomfort on smaller wrists, and some find the dial's shiny elements distracting. It is powered by the Caliber 011 (SW 500) automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Edox CO-1 Carbon Chronograph Automatic for its unique materials and robust build at an accessible price point, despite some concerns about its size and comfort.

The watch is noted for its lightweight carbon composite body and a sport/tactical look from its black dial with red accents. One owner finds ProTek watches affordable, but questions the value given the movement used. Overall, owners rate the ProTek Watches ProTek Diver highly for its excellent tritium lume and lightweight build.
