Hands-On - Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Master Chronometer Baselworld 2018 (Specs & Price)
Twenty-five years ago, in 1993, Omega launched a model that would become a classic among classics, a springboard into the world of luxury watches and cinematic fame after being worn by Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye (1995): the Seamaster Professional 300M. If the look of the new model launched at Baselworld 2018 feels rather conservative, the evolution is simply impressive and concerns every single part of the watch. And believe me, the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Master Chronometer?gives you a lot of bang for your buck.At first, the new?Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Master Chronometer might seem like just another SMP300. Nothing really new, nothing to stir up a heated debate. It is still the simple, high-quality dive watch that we all know. However, if you look in-depth, you quickly understand that everything – absolutely everything – is different or better. Materials, proportions, movement, colours… Omega has done a tremendous job to respect the spirit of the SMP300 wh
Pre-Baselworld 2015: The Arnold & Son TBTE Tourbillon - True Beat Tourbillon Escapement (Price and Specs) - Monochrome Watches
Arnold & Son is on a roll. The other day they we could show you their Constant Force Tourbillon?–?a magnificent piece of horological achievement in precision timekeeping – and today we can show you another spectacular highlight, called the Arnold & Son TBTE Tourbillon. Not many watch brands have the prowess to introduce two timepieces with a tourbillon in one year. Let alone two tourbillon watches, each with additional complications like a True Beat (i.e. dead beat seconds) or constant force mechanism. Let’s have a closer look at the Arnold & Son TBTE Tourbillon.Like the Constant Force Tourbillon, and many other complicated timepieces from Arnold & Son, it offers a view that is equally technical as well as spectacular. Also like may Arnold & Son timepieces, it features a dead beat second hand (seconde morte in French) or as Arnold & Son prefer to call it: True Beat, meaning the second hand ticks like quartz watch. The TBTE Tourbillon offers a v
Introducing: Panerai Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition PAM01643
Panerai's watches were born with saltwater in their veins. Designed for Italian Navy frogmen on the eve of WWII, Panerai's rugged Radiomir not only timed their secret underwater missions and detonations, but its luminous radioactive radium-based paste lit up the murky depths. Panerai has always cultivated strong ties to all things nautical, including the purchase of the Eilean, a beautiful 1936 Bermudian ketch that was lovingly restored to her former glory. The latest Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean (ref. PAM01643) is a limited edition of 30 pieces and features bronze recovered from the famous ketch and a very appealing surprise in the box. As part of the brand's ‘Experiences Program’, the watch comes with an invitation to explore the cultural riches of Sicily, including a cruise on board the Eilean.As any collector knows, a watch with a good story is always more collectable, and the history of the Radiomir, the first professional underwater military watch, is action-packed.
