A noble common passion


100 years of fellowship, bravery, power, ardour, fierce competition in the name of a noble common passion made a mark on history.

Graham-London is proud to be part of this great tournament as the official timekeeper.

To commemorate these wonderful anniversaries, Graham-London will launch the Chronofighter R.A.C RBS 6 Nations. This column-wheel chronograph, Graham-London classic model and best seller which represents the core values of the brand, combines technique and has been designed to pay tribute to this double celebration.

This watch, full of striking symbols, will make you feel the aura of the Tournament. The piece admirably marries the history of the championship with the brand’s British heritage and Swiss know-how.

The official's referee's watch


Graham-London’s passion for technique and design leads to the creation of elaborate time instruments. The brand has developed a unique chronograph which corresponds to the RBS 6 Nations’ technical expectations, the Chronofighter Oversize Referee. The powerful involvement in the game, as the official timekeeper, is unique and unrivalled. It makes Graham-London crucial and prominent in the competition.

The referees will wear the colourful Chronofighter Oversize Referee to adjudicate every match during the tournament. This special and highly visible use of Graham-London’s products is challenging as every game results from the reliability and the performance of the watch. It is a total quality commitment for the daring brand and its creations.

Graham-London is proud to launch this limited edition model combining the brand’s uncommon design and technical advancement.

Stylish and functional, the line is highlighted by a titanium light-weight case; partly coated by a soft touch rubber, a bezel and the start and stop lever on the left side which enable an optimal and intuitive use of the watch. The “explosive” instrument also features a colourful seconds counter at 3 o’clock referring to the 6 squads. The other characteristic is the counter at 6 o’clock which is double-graduated. Indeed, the external circle is the 30 minutes counter and the internal one shows the 40 minutes rugby game time period.

It is a heavy duty for referees to umpire such a competition. Graham-London is providing help by creating a solid cohesion between the time instrument and its user leading to an optimum performance.
