Along with our review of the Jorg Gray 1900-14, we requested a closer look at the 1950-12: a casual quartz watch with some Italian dive watch styling. The 1950-12 is even nicer looking in person than in photos, and after wearing it for a while, I can say it definitely has a style and feel all its own.

Here are the specs:

• 45x12mm stainless steel case.
• Black PVD style coating.
• Screw down case back.
• Japanese Quartz movement with date.
• Black leather strap (with signed buckle).
• 100m water resistant (about 330 feet).
• List Price: $285.
• 20mm lug spacing.

Watches are often known for their connection to culture, sports, world records, or famous people. Rolex is known for reaching the top of Mt. Everest and the bottom of the ocean; Tag Heuer for a rich background in motor sports and sailing; Omega for reaching the moon, and now as watch James Bond prefers. The watch we have in today comes from a California label that has been making watches since 1998, but is seemingly best known for making the watch that is worn by none other than the President of the United States.

We first noticed Jorg Gray when President Obama was seen wearing a simple yet classy chronograph (the watch can be seen in many of his photos), and just had to know where it came from. As it turns out, Jorg Gray makes many attractive and modern designs, including the one we are looking at in this review: the JG1900-14 chronograph.

Here are the facts:

• 43x11mm Stainless steel case.
• Mineral crystal.
• Japanese quartz chronograph.
• Screw-down case back.
• Chronograph with date.
• Black leather strap.
• 100 meter water-resistant (about 330 feet).
