Breitling Navitimer 1 Automatic 38 3-hand (Specs & Price)
Georges Kern has been busy dusting off cobwebs and streamlining references (from 600 to 120) since he was appointed CEO of Breitling in the summer?of 2017. With large market segments entirely overlooked by the brand's predominant focus on oversized pilot's watches, Kern has altered the flight plan. His mission is one of expansion and he hopes to attract women and lure the Asian market into the Breitling fold. The new 38mm Navitimer 1 three-hander would seem to be a direct response to his strategy and plays the unisex card to great effect. Ideal for men with smaller wrists and women who like watches with a more virile personality, let's take a closer look at the Navitimer 1 Automatic 38.Turbulence or smooth sailing on the horizon for BreitlingFollowing the hullabaloo provoked by the unveiling of the Navitimer 8 Collection – with die-hard fans of the legendary Navitimer chronograph offended by a collection that looks nothing like an original Navitimer - Breitling had a lot of expla
Introducing: The new Smaller, Slimmer Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite
While we won’t do the entire story of the Speedmaster once again here (look here for that), we can quickly talk about a complication that first appeared on this watch in 1985; the moonphase display… For a watch that went on the Moon and that is named the Moonwatch, it’s quite appropriate, don’t you think? There have been multiple variants of the Speedmaster Moonphase, from the original 1980s model to more modern Professional editions with the calibre 1866. More recently, in 2016 to be precise, Omega revamped the concept with a modern Master Chronometer movement and a large 44.25mm case. Now, for 2025, the idea has once more been updated, in a fairly pleasant way. Meet the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite watches. So what has changed in 2025…? Well, almost everything. Different proportions, new hand-wound movement, new moon complication, dials made from meteorite, new bracelet… In short, it seems like we’re looking at
Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF Titanium - Hands-On, Price
The luxury sports watch with integrated bracelet is all the rage at the moment. The Alpine Eagle, Chopard's take on the genre, is a modern, state-of-the-art reinterpretation of the 1980s Saint-Moritz. Unveiled two years ago, the model is now released in a 250-piece limited edition powered by a high-tech 8Hz high-frequency automatic movement. Here's the Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF in Titanium.While most mechanical wristwatches usually tick between 2.5Hz and 4Hz, high-frequency movements ticking at 5Hz and over are widely considered to improve the precision and stability of movements (even if, naturally, precision and stability are not solely related to frequency). Chopard has been conducting research in the field for years. The brand released its first experimental watch ticking at an impressive 8Hz as early as 2012 with the L.U.C 8HF powered by the L.U.C 01.06-L calibre. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
