Baselworld 2017 - The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Steel & Date Ref. 79730 (Availability, Specs & Price)
As part of the newly?presented 2017 Collection, Tudor introduced one big novelty, a chronograph with a new movement (and, as of now, you should be aware of?the Breitling provenance) but it’s not the one we’ll talk about today. We’d like to take more time before going on this specific watch, as it deserves to be looked with a clear?mind. Yet, the second big news for Tudor was the introduction of the Date on the Heritage Black Bay, a feature that will certainly please many end consumers, and that comes along a new design, with a brushed stainless steel bezel – and believe it or not, but it does change drastically the look of the watch. Here are our first impressions about the?Tudor Heritage Black Bay Steel & Date Ref. 79730.Let’s first draw?the context. We are, Frank Geelen and I, proud owners of the 1st generation of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay, both of us with a midnight blue bezel. While the burgundy edition was probably not for us, the blue version

Recommended: LVMH To Bring Back Gerald Genta As A Stand-Alone Brand
Only a week ago, we’ve seen the comeback of yet another legendary name, Daniel Roth, and the introduction of the first watch of the new era. Behind the project is no other than Jean Arnault, fifth and last?child of luxury giant Bernard Arnault, owner of LVMH, back up by the master watchmakers of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. There is another brand that has once been owned by?Bulgari (just like Roth) that is about to comeback as a stand-alone brand, and it’s that of a legend of the watch industry, Gerald Genta. And LFT Louis Vuitton and 24-years-old Arnault are again behind this?resurrection, as reported by Nick Foulkes for the Financial Times.As Foulkes explains, Arnault father and son discussed watchmaking and the name Genta came up in a conversation, re-discovering that the LVMH Group was owning it, under management of Bulgari, yet relatively dormant in the past 20-plus years. Which lead to the decision to revive the brand, “Arnault is relaunching the brand. G

Introducing: The Oris Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy White Star
Unquestionably one of the best-selling models at Oris, the Divers Sixty-Five resurfaced after a period of dormancy in 2015 with its vintage appeal and ancestor's traits practically intact. A year later, Oris revisited its Divers Sixty-Five in a limited edition with a larger 42mm diameter and a bronze case dedicated to Carl Brashear with a dial that would become the blueprint for the collection going forward. Bronze cases have appeared at key junctions in Oris' timeline, including the bronze cases of the compact 38mm Cotton Candy models with eye-catching summery pastel dials. Today, Oris releases a full-bronze edition of its Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy with a bright white dial announcing the advent of winter and fun on the slopes.Whenever Oris issues a bronze model, fans of the brand know that a regular production model is probably lurking in the pipeline. Like the first 2016 Oris Carl Brashear time-and-date signalling the debut of the new face of the collection, the 43mm bronze Carl

Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date 40mm Bronze Dial / Introducing, Price
If you’re into watches, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date should be no stranger to you.

After multiple editions in steel or in bronze, Oris presents a new Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date 40mm, with its typically patinated case and now a matching bronze dial. Overview.History of the Big Crown Pointer DateOris has a well-documented history in the world of aviation, having made its first pilot's pocket watch in the early 1910s. This was followed by the company's first pilot's wristwatch in 1917, a watch that?could only?be adjusted when a button above the crown was activated – something featured on the 2017 re-edition. Eventually came the creation of the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
