The Straton Straton Syncro Sports day/date Automatic (ref. straton-syncro-sports-day-date-automatic) is an automatic chronograph watch, with a 40mm 316l stainless steel case, 13mm thick, powered by the NH36 movement. Water resistance is rated to 200m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $499.
Owners widely praise the Straton Syncro's exceptional finishing, retro design, and well-balanced dial, with one owner calling it Straton's best work. The fully-lumed dial is a significant draw for legibility, though one forum user notes the white dial's lume can cast a cool tone. Criticisms include a busy bezel design with difficult-to-read markings, applied numerals that reduce legibility, and a polished Milanese bracelet that contrasts with the brushed case. The NH36 movement is considered reliable but not highly accurate, and the 40mm case wears larger than its dimensions. The watch is approximately 15mm thick, which may present wearability issues with long sleeves. On balance, owners and reviewers highlight the Straton Syncro's impressive finishing and distinctive retro design as its strongest attributes.
