Breitling Navitimer Super 8 - Baselworld 2018 (inc. Specs)
We just introduced to you the new Navitimer 1 Automatic, a clean, historically-relevant and smaller piece in the collection. That’s not all the brand will have at Baselworld 2018. Breitling will also look at the other side of the range, with a true instrument piece. Voluntarily large, properly masculine and bold, made with ruggedness and inspired by a past model of the brand, here is the?Breitling Navitimer Super 8.BackgroundThe new Breitling Navitimer Super 8 is inspired by the Reference 637 stopwatch, which was used in the Second World War by bomber pilots and crews. This Reference 637 was strapped to the aviators' thighs, which allowed optimal readability and ease of use. The crown was located on the left side of the case, and its prominent size and positioning meant that an aviator's hand - even gloved - could easily maneuver it. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

The Collector's Series - Richard and His Unique anOrdain Model 2
We've all come to this point where we see a watch, like a watch, but have that little tiny detail that somehow feels a bit out of place, or that we would have imagined differently Today, it's the story of a man and his tendency to always challenge the existing, to come and ask the brands if there's a way to change that little detail, to make the watch better to his eyes, more personal, more HIS watch. Richard (@mymese on Instagram) is a 53-year-old mobility data expert from Holland who has a preference for unusual watches, not necessarily the brands that everyone wants. Today, he discusses his special anOrdain Model 2, and this watch is HIS watch, a unique take that turns out to be very personal.?Frank Geelen, MONOCHROME – anOrdain is not a household name when it comes to watches.

Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster Pac-Man Rebirth - Introducing, Price
The world of dive watches is immense… so much so that we sometimes forget that during the 1960s there were hundreds of brands and watches available. Some, of course, acquired cult status; some fell into oblivion. Others, however, are still known and collected by a niche group of enthusiasts. We’ve seen this recently with Aquastar, for instance.

Following the launch of the Chronomaster, the brand revives the Depthmaster “Pac-Man” along with a second version of the watch with Arabic numerals.BackgroundNivada was founded in 1926 by Jacob Schneider in Granges (Grenchen). In 1930 Nivada was one of the first companies to manufacture automatic watches. This led to the creation of Nivada's first waterproof automatic watch called the Antarctic in 1950. The watch was worn by members of the American Navy's Deep Freeze 1 during their expedition to the South Pole from 1955 to 1956. Among numerous models, the most wi
