The Story
“A horizontally ridged blue dial with three sub-dials, a red-tipped seconds hand and a turbine-style small seconds — Surat's take on the motorsport chronograph.
The Genesis One is Skylona's sports chronograph and the middle of its range: a roughly 40mm steel case with an angular, bolted bezel, three sub-dials and a date, on quartz. Skylona calls it a 'multifunction chronograph-style layout', so check whether the sub-dials time events or simply count the day and hours before buying for the stopwatch. The listing specifies a steel bracelet and a 'sapphire-coated' crystal (not solid sapphire), though the product renders show it on a blue rubber strap. It comes in seven colourways, and at ₹3,499 it is a lot of visual watch for the money; the struck-through ₹8,999 'MRP' is best ignored.

About the maker
Skylona
Founded 2023 · Surat · Undisclosed
Skylona is the budget end of Indian watchmaking, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. The Surat brand — run from Mota Varachha, a short ride from the city's diamond-cutting workshops — says every watch is designed, quality-checked and assembled in Surat, and sells direct with free shipping, cash on delivery and a seven-day return window. Most of the catalogue sits between ₹999 and ₹1,999: Apex and Elegance three-handers, Classic and Carnival multifunction chronographs. The step up is the Meridian, an ultra-slim sapphire dress watch at ₹4,999–₹5,499, and the Genesis One sports chronograph at ₹3,499. Treat the struck-through 'MRP' figures with scepticism; judge the watches on what you actually pay.
