Nike Cross Training Covert Sports Chronograph

Today's watch is a sporty one and is one of my collection of Nike watches (and is slightly late for my one post every day plan).

This model is part of the Nike Cross Training range of watches and is either the XTR Covert or Covert II model. Looking at the designs, I think it may be the I model, just because of the engraved text below the display, but that is just based on some pictures I've found online (and there seems to be very little other difference).

The Covert and Covert II watches were designed by a San Francisco based company called Astro Studios who have been a design partner of Nike for over 15 years. They designed these models along with the similar Reveal design, and were responsible for the unique 'zigzag' case and strap style of the Nike Triax watches.

The Covert is an ana-digi model with a distinctive hood covering a little of the top of the analogue dial. The dial is a crown set 3 hand dial design which takes up a little over half of the face. The digi part is a shaped LCD display with 2 sections. The main time is shown on the bottom 6 digit section, but the numbers aren't in one line - they are in 3 pairs which follow the bottom curve of the case. Above that is an eye shaped dot matrix array showing the day, or a scrolling message with the type of mode being displayed. The watch has the usual complement of display modes - date, chronograph, timer, and alarm, and can be used for dual time as the dial and LCD are not linked.

The model number depends on whether this is a Covert or Covert II. The Covert has a model number of WX0016, and the Covert II is WC0004.
