Breitling Navitimer 1 Automatic 38 - Baselworld 2018 (specs & price)
We already knew that some changes were about to come at Breitling. We’ve seen it with the introduction of the Navitimer 8, a brand new collection that we explained to you in details. This new strategy will be deployed over all the collections and that includes the iconic Navitimer 1. Here is the first (and drastic) evolution, with the?Navitimer 1 Automatic 38. It is small and mainly, it is a 3-hander…This is a true surprise: the iconic and historic Navitimer – now named Navitimer 1, in opposition to the Navitimer 8 – will be available without chronograph. Don’t be fooled though, it is not the first time that the name Navitimer is printed on the dial of a 3-hand watch, however this is not widely known.

The?Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Chronometer is?possibly one of the most coveted pieces from Baselworld’s previous edition. It was such a?desired?timepiece that we tried to guess its looks and specifications and the final result was highly regarded?by both the industry and the collectors – something that we confirmed?when reviewing this watch during a whole summer. The?Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial is definitely one of the best modern dive watches – and a very good looking one too. For 2015, it puts on some new shoes and shows now a leather strap.There’s not much to?criticize about the?Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Chronometer.

All eyes are on Dubai these days as watchmaking brands unveil their novelties for the fifth edition of the Dubai Watch Week. As a participant of the Dubai watch fair and to celebrate its partnership with leading watch retailer Seddiqi, Ulysse Nardin has prepared a pre-launch of just 10 timepieces of its new Diver X Skeleton Black.

Airain Type 20 Vert Militaire Limited Edition (Specs & Price)
After rebooting Lebois & Co.?Dutch entrepreneur Tom van Wijlick decided to tackle another challenge… Reviving one of the most illustrious names and watches in the history of aviation, Airain and the Type 20 Flyback Chronograph for the French Aeronavale. Knowing the fame surrounding these watches, it was quite a tricky task and no fault was permitted. The result, which took the shape of this faithful yet quite accessible pilot’s chronograph, was truly convincing – and it’s a fan of the Type 20 talking here. So much that it’s hard to get your hands on the classic, non-limited black version. But here’s your chance, as the brand releases a new model, in a pretty cool colour; the Airain Type 20 Vert Militaire Limited Edition.?Looking at the existing revival models around, the Airain Type 20 Re-Edition is basically the closest you can get from the original 1950s watch. The?Type 20, a military specification/code, is born from the wish of the French Mini
