I it is a Seiko 62MAS homage and the brand name logo was inspired by the 1950s Seiko Cronos watches

Thanks everybody! I found the ILW video that Mrs Wiggles mentioned showing the origin of the Cronos brand name

I actually bought this watch because I was looking for an affordable watch with good lume and I found this video in which featured the ILW version of this watch.

You are most welcome Tom. Gary explains why the lume is so good in this watch in the video below(around the 7:00 mark).

Thanks Tom! You know what I like best about that watch? No date(like the original). Even if that movement has a date function I'm glad they didn't make a window for it like all the other homages to the Seamaster 300 I have seen.

Whats the strap length, will it fit an 8" wrist?
I think it would fit an 8" wrist. My wrist is around 7" and I buckle the strap in the 5th hole.
It's pretty nice watch for $200. Here is a link to the seller I bought it from
