echo/neutra Cortina Chronograph GMT 1956 // Watch of the Week. Review 211

Named after the famous ski resort Cortina d'Ampezzo the Cortina Chronograph GMT 1956 delivers a traditional design (with some new spices) and today's technology. Top-notch specs, Sellita movement, middle class price and certainly worth a closer look.
Watch of the Week.
This is a series of brief review videos about recently introduced wrist watches. Every Monday I give you in about 4 minutes an overview about style, specs, price and availability of a new timepiece. From 100 Euros or US-Dollar up to 10,000, from Timex, Alpina and Longines to Rolex and Zenith.

Yes to the review. This watch looks intriguing.

[@CasebackWatches]

Review is confirmed ;-)

[@thomashenderson6011]

These look fantastic. I'm sure they're made as well as other echo/neutra watches...looks like a hit! I say "yes" to a review, please!

[@MichaelOCallaghan-fq4ej]

I used to own a Cortina. It was two tone, red and rust. The watch is much nicer. Would love to see a review. 👍

[@rocketeerxx]

Yes to the review please! I always struggle to find reviews of their watches especially in English 🙏🏻

[@CasebackWatches]

Review is confirmed ;-)

[@scottgordon6740]

Interesting implementation of a GMT. Swap the GMT hand with the hour hand but leave the day/night indicator tied to the new GMT hand and now you got something. I personally like a date on my GMTs.

[@noelbattere1548]

Hi Tim, Echo/Neutra has made interesting watches like the Cortina 1956 “Deep Black”. It seems like an ideal combination: Italian design, Swiss manufacturing. And 1956, great year! This GMT model with 7 hands is a bit overloaded for my taste, but what matters here is the opinion of the lucky ones who will buy it and fully enjoy it. Regards from Chile!

[@EricZ726]

I would really appreciate a review. These watches have been catching my eyes for a minute now. Really nice clean and unique designs.

[@chad0063]

Would love to see a hands on review! This is a super interesting design & model I'm seriously considering now.

[@aleksanderisaev4479]

Yes please! Would be great to see this interesting beauty in full review. Thanks for featuring it in the watch of the week!

[@TheGrenadier97]

Excellent way of using the otherwise dubious 24-hour dial subdial.

[@nelsonc6173]

Yes I would like to see a review. Been looking at this company for awhile. Beautiful watches but the price holds me back...but down the line I want one for sure.

[@PheasantPluckersMate]

I too have had this brand on the radar for a couple of years. They’re designs are excellent, and this chrono is a real halo model👍

[@dhmy2kgto]

Beautiful design. Would also like to know more about the movement powering this beauty.

[@livonian]

Beautiful 😊 Italians sure know how to design something tastefully

[@BobMarley-pm1xb]

Great pick Tim. It’s so close to a VJ 7750/GMT……..wow! And yes please on another beauty like this!

[@jamessher6956]

This looks like future high service costs. Most of my watches are in the 1K range from reputable brands but I’ve just about given up on automatics and mechanical watches. I’ve had to send back watches for warranty from Serica, Yema, and Squale and for the time being decided to go with simple quartz watches. Just received a CWC GS sapphire 36mm service watch. 200 meter water resistance and 10 year battery life and incredible accuracy , couldn’t be happier.

[@morgan97475]

"For Your Eyes Only" also had scenes in Cortina. But anything Pink Panther was far more amusing. Nice watch.

[@toughguy2186]

Aloha Tim 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🏄‍♂️🤙🤙🤙 you still got it, never heard of it, but definitely would love to see a close-up review about this watch.

[@SingleTrackMined]

Always entertaining and informative - entermative. Thanks!

[@CasebackWatches]

My pleasure, thanks for watching.

[@rodg2335]

Is there no running seconds? Also all watches should have drilled lugs....possible exception being dress watches. Beautiful watch.

[@peterdahlen2088]

Just a nice looking watch for the price good value

[@thierrybraine4319]

BRING IT ON

[@rabadabadoo491]

Yeah thats pretty cool. Review would be nice. Cheers 🍻

[@Giuseppe_De_Bellis]

Bought a "Cristallo" diver last year. with black/blue dial. Wonderful watch. But please, although being italian, the right pronounciation is "Echo / noitra", like in german. ;)

[@CasebackWatches]

Ok, thanks, I was slightly confused by that mix of languages ;-)

[@Giuseppe_De_Bellis]

@@CasebackWatches no worries!! It's infact an unusual name. These guys are great, though! Keep up the great work, cheers from Italy!

[@deedee8568]

Well, I love it.

[@BrunoFerreira-qq5vy]

Please do the review!

[@bevis9877]

I do like the look of those watches. Possibly a bit thick.

[@jeffreyromain7336]

Welcome back.

[@CasebackWatches]

Thank you. Great spring weather here 😉

[@davemck1887]

Ooh, Cortina 2000GT.

[@PheasantPluckersMate]

Ha! Now we are showing our age!

[@res00xua]

Pick one thing and do it well.

[@Genegenedtb]

Does the hour hand jump as the gmt hand or does the red pointer do the gmt function?

[@CasebackWatches]

I have the actual watch here and will answer that question and many others in the next review video. This Friday. Stay tuned ;-)

[@pitvk549]

Moin Tim! Was hälst Du eigentlich von Atlantic Watches? Eine schweizer Firma mit einem großen Sortiment bewegt sich unter dem Radar der KZbinr. Ich habe selbst eine Worldmaster seit den 70ern und ich trage diese Uhr nach wie vor fast täglich.

[@CasebackWatches]

Tolle Firma. Ich habe sie einmal angeschrieben und keine Antwort bekommen und bin immer noch etwas sauer, aber gerade die neuen Modelle sehen fantastisch aus.

[@bosco1603]

if it had a gmt bezel or at least a 24h chapter ring it would be an automatic yes. good looking watch, but probably a pass. my search for a gmt chrono continues.

[@michaelcollins2473]

First today!

[@user-qq8jn5bb4m]

Doesn´t look half bad but I have no use for a chrono and I doubt many people will, I mean what´s even the point unless ur name is Verstappen

[@CasebackWatches]

Well, you're painting the kid's room and then the label says: First layer must dry 12 hours ... And there you go ...;-)

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Um, no. People who buy chronograph's do so to use it. I use it when doing climbs, while I am bbqing, during my running...and many other tasks. Just because you don't need one doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

[@user-qq8jn5bb4m]

@@CasebackWatches You can´t remember a single number for one day :-)

[@user-qq8jn5bb4m]

@@bigmacdaddy1234 I didn´t say all people :-) Isn´t a smart watch of better use when doing those activities? Or you just like the old fashion feel?
