TX 650 GT Flyback Chronograph

The new 650 GT is powered by a 600 Series four-hour fly-back chronograph movement with one-fifth of a second accuracy.

The dial looks very luxurious, and even more upscale. The dial still features signature TX elements such as an orange seconds hand and accents. However, new layered elements, such as the screwed down metal trimmed 2nd time zone and chronograph displays, and an exposed date indicator, give this new TX a very appealing look.

The 650 GT Flyback comes in four different variations: stainless steel polished with a black dial and black leather strap, stainless steel polished with white dial and brown leather strap, black PVD with black dial and rose gold bezel and black leather strap and black PVD case and bracelet with black dial and rose gold accents. Honestly, all four look great, and each one really has its own theme.

For the first time, TX is offering a premium push-button clasp. The all metal bracelet uses a hidden butterfly clasp, but all the other versions come with straps, and feature the new push-button fold-over clasp.

The new case design slightly resembles the 700 Series watches. Although, the new 650's look is more elegant and simple. What surprised me most about the cases, though, is that they are nearly 47mm wide, yet they look and feel like a much smaller watch.

Water-resistance is 100 meters. Sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective treatment. Powered by a TX proprietary high-hand quartz chronograph movement.

Overall, the new TX 650 GT Flyback Chronograph is a well executed timepiece, and a perfect example of the continuous improvement that goes on within the TX organization. Their first offerings in 2006 were good, and with each year the watches keep getting better and better. Now with the introduction of the 650 GT, I think TX has created their highest quality timepiece yet.
