:: KRONOS DIVER K300 ::













OPINION                                                          

Before expressing my opinion of this KRONOS diver watch, I would like to introduce this brand of watches created in Barcelona.


Kronos was founded in 1930 by Carlos Vendrell. He was an enterprising merchant from Barcelona with a long family tradition in watchmaking that began in the nineteenth century.  


His technical and commercial expertise led him to undertake the huge challenge of creating his own watch brand. He started producing clock collections made by hand in his own workshops. Thanks to trade agreements with Swiss and German manufacturers, they provided him with machinery.

Carlos Vendrell´s vision for the future also led him to develop numerous mechanical pocket watches and wristwatch collections, which were not in common use at that time.
A short time after, outstanding agreements with leading Swiss industries strengthened the Kronos brand in the market. Swiss industries began to produce watches following the instructions of Carlos Vendrell.
These agreements strengthened Kronos and Luis Vendrell, the son of Carlos Vendrell, took over the expansion of the family business.

His objectives were very clear: that Kronos would always be a brand with its own personality and character, well-known for producing very special watches recognised for their touch of exclusivity and originality, avoiding any idea of mass production. 
These principles remain in force today and continue to inspire new generations in the 21st century.



This watch is a K300 Kronos. It is a professional dive watch. Water resistant to 330 m. Manufactured in Switzerland. Stainless steel case. Sapphire Crystal. Unidirectional rotating bezel. Crown screw. Caseback screw. With helium valve at 10 o'clock. Stainless steel strap.

This watch has a great presence on the wrist. It has a diameter of 42 mm without the crown. With a thickness of 13 mm.

This Kronos K300 has a strong resemblance to the black OMEGA seamaster professional 300.


Similar black bezel. Identical helium valve, protected screw crown, black dial, similar logo and brand name position in the dial.

I prefer believe that this Kronos K300 is a homage to OMEGA Seamaster professional. In fact, I think is a well homage and with a very competitive price. The official price of this watch, around 450 Euros.
