Hamilton ODC X-03 Watch Pays Tribute To ‘Interstellar’ & ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ Movies

Post date April 9, 2018

Hamilton, normally a very straight-laced military, and aviation watch company has decided to show off its uncultivated side. With the introduction of the Hamilton Watches Egypt Replica OrologiODC X-03 Watch, not only is Hamilton showing the audience that they can make crazy designed watches work, but they are also showing the audience a tribute to the movies ‘Interstellar’ and ‘2001; A Space Odyssey.’ This watch is very similar to, yet is the next step up from the ODC X-02 which was released in 2009. Both pieces have very similar functions and features to them yet both have a completely different look of their own.

The case of the Hamilton ODC X-03 Watch is 49mm x52mm, playing off well for those wearers who prefer larger-faced wrist pieces. The case is made of titanium, covered in black colored PVD coating. Not only is the design of this piece very sporty, but it also has a very creative look to it and can even be worn as a formal piece.

The black case and bezel of the watch encase a beautiful face featuring one main dial on the right side of the face and two other sub-dials on the left side. The main dial prominently displays the local time with the left dials functioning as a second a minutes timer respectively. A black rectangle with a red stripe proudly displays the word ‘Hamilton’ and the Hamilton logo in red as well. The placement of the logo in between the two left dials and on the side of the right dial gives the overall appearance of a satellite or a spaceship. The most important feature of the face is its background display of Jupiter floating in space. The very bright white, orange, and brown colors swirling across the planet’s surface along with the black background of space give the planet a 3-D appearance. The satellite or spaceship created from the dials and the Hamilton logo gives an appearance that the background planet is being orbited.

At first glance, most enthusiasts look at the peculiar piece and wonder where exactly the crown or crowns are located. To answer your questions enthusiasts, there are three crowns usable crowns on this piece, each with a very important function. Two of the crowns can be found on the left side of the case and the last crown is found on the right side of the case, each one in control of the dial it is most closely lined up with. The crowns are folded into each side in order to preserve the hexagonal shape of the case. This shape best depicts the both tribute movies. Use of each crown is as simple as popping out the crown and turning the crown.

Tribute watches usually come at a price, not only in the wallet, but also in the piece’s availability. The Hamilton Watches Nordstrom Replica OrologiODC X-03 Watch is limited in production to only 999 watches and can be yours for the ‘out of this world’ price of 3,500CHF. Although the average watch connoisseur isn’t ready to fork over this much money for a watch, The piece is more than worth the price. For more info, please visit hamiltonwatch.com

Low Price Replica Bell & Ross V1-92 Military Watch

Post author By ukwatches
Post date March 9, 2018

If you think of Bell & Ross as a maker of primarily oversized, square-cased, aviation-oriented watches, you’re not alone. However, Bell & Ross are also the producers of a growing collection of heritage-inspired aviation pieces which they call their Vintage Collection. Now, Bell & Ross have further expanded the 38.5mm BR V range of the Vintage Collection with the new Bell & Ross V1-92, an aviation-inspired sport watch with a domed sapphire crystal and B&R’s Cal.302 automatic mechanical movement.

Clearly drawing design cues from aviation instruments and timepieces of the past, the V1-92’s dial is glossy black with faux vintage colored Super-LumiNova coated baton hour markers, a minute scale and sub divisions printed in white, as well as white printed minute markers instead of hour markers at five-minute increments. The election to go with prominent minute markers as opposed to hour markers demonstrates B&R’s dedication to the vintage flyer feel of the piece as well as a nod to historical pilot’s watches from IWC and Laco. The twelve o’clock indicator, a triangle and two dots, is also borrowed from classic pilot’s watches. A white on black date wheel is visible through a window neatly tucked into the 4:30 position – though it’s partly cutting off some of the numbers.

About those dimensions: Appearing at the Bell & Ross Watches Uk Replica BR 03-92 Diver about the wrist, an individual might not guess that it measures only 42mm wide. It might be a bizarre or subjective thing to state, but I would explain the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver as wearing more like a 44mm-wide watch. Square instances are going to wear larger than their dimensions would suggest — if you are knowledgeable about watch measurements and have a habit of imagining how a watch may suit you based on pictures and specs before viewing it in person. Perchance a corner-to-corner dimension is a good means of assessing the size of a square eye since that may better represent how much wrist real estate it occupies. I truly made an attempt to portray in some of the photos how well it wears on my 6.5″ (17cm) wrist — though I probably couldn’t pull off even a millimeter larger.Dive watches are normally chunky, and water-resistance of 300m is more or less standard nowadays for “professional dive watches” — although some manufacturers eliminate calling a 100m water-resistant watch a diver, and others take it much further to 1000m and more (Bell & Ross’ Hydromax in 1997 was rated into no less than 11,100m). Water-resistance is often understood by customers as a shorthand for or method of quantifying general durability. The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver is graded to 300m and matches all of the other ISO dive watch specifications, and also the brand emphasizes how those specifications determined the layout.

Sword-style hands, also coated in the vintage-looking Super-LumiNova, are again reminiscent of WWII era pilot’s watches from makers much older than Bell & Ross. At six o’clock we find a red circle with “M T” (to stand for “Military Type”) printed within to mimic the red colored 3H (which referred to tritium or Hydrogen-3 as a lume source) markings found on older German military watches like those made by Heuer and issued to the German Air Force. A thick, domed, anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal protects the dial and adds some vertical heft to the otherwise diminutive case.

Like the rest of the V1 watches in the Vintage Collection, the Bell & Ross V1-92 features a very straightforward, brushed stainless steel case in a traditional round shape like those seen on many vintage military watches. A 38.5mm case width keeps things feeling vintage and the modest size should allow for comfortable wear on wrists of many sizes. Ironically, many of the watches the Bell & Ross V1-92 seems to draw inspiration from were giant (as large as 55mm) having been designed to be worn over a pilot’s thick jacket. Bell & Ross clearly understand that the modern market has a place for those who appreciate vintage styling with a more wearable presence. The new Bell & Ross V1-92 Military also shares its movement with the rest of the V1 series.

Bell & Ross’ Cal. 302 is based on the Sellita SW300, a 25-jewel, 38-hour power reserve, automatic mechanical, time-and-date caliber which hums along at a standard 28,800bph. Sellita’s SW300, while not as similar as the SW200 and ETA 2824, exists as an alternative to the ETA 2892. While it isn’t a ground-breaking piece of haute horology, the Sellita based Cal. 302 should provide years of faithful and accurate service and make for easy servicing when the time comes.

A new dial for the existing V1 series, the Bell & Ross V1-92 adds yet another popular pilot’s configuration to the expanding lineup and is the only 38.5mm model with faux vintage colored Super-LumiNova, if that’s what you’re into. The Bell & Ross V1-92 Military is also not outrageously priced at $1,990 USD on a very much aviation-inspired vintage looking brown leather strap. bellross.com

Replica Buyers Guide Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black Camo Watch

Post author By ukwatches
Post date March 9, 2018

The BR 03 family of watches has stood as a cornerstone of the Bell & Ross catalog throughout the years. From Bauhaus-inspired to desert combat-ready, we continually see Bell & Ross build upon the existing concept to create watches that are meant to appeal to a wide range of enthusiasts. More recently, the brand has added the third and latest version, the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black Camo, to their successful line of “camouflage watches.” While it’s true that most Bell & Ross models can appear rather “loud” on the wrist, this one seeks to be, well, a little more covert.

All joking aside, the sheer number of BR 03 models can seem overwhelming for the average watch buyer. Still, I find it entertaining to watch Bell & Ross as they add more styles, incorporate different materials, and attract a diverse audience to their timepieces, all while staying true to their identity. After all, there’s no doubt that the BR 03 line delivers strong brand recognition so it makes sense for them to explore the possibilities offered by the underlying design even if that just means simple aesthetic updates.

At 42mm wide, the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black Camo features the same dimensions as the rest of the BR 03 watches. In my experience, it’s the most comfortable size for a Bell & Ross and the matte black ceramic case on this one should only serve to enhance wearability due to the material’s lightness and the fact that one doesn’t need to worry about scratching it. As a successor to the two previously released watches in the camouflage sub-collection (the BR 03-92 Phantom and BR 03-92 Commando), this model almost seems to tie in visual elements from both of them while serving as a worthy, final installment in the series.

As I mentioned, everything about this watch is meant to fly under the radar, including the dial itself. It’s entirely composed of, you guessed it, a distinct black and gray camo patchwork pattern. It’s interesting to see how it works with the sandwich layout, which Bell & Ross does very well. The bottom layer is a solid disk of black Super-LumiNova that glows through the numeral cutouts of the top dial layer. Black lume is not bright like C3 or similar variants, of course – as that might give away your position to the enemy.

Together with the large sword hands, which are also coated in black Super-LumiNova, the watch takes that highly legible altimeter-like look the brand is known for… and makes it markedly less legible. We talk a lot about legibility around here, but it seems like to dwell on it for a piece like this would be missing the point. It is what it is. There’s also a date window that they seem to have positioned within one of the darker camo textures for discreet integration.

Inside the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black Camo is the BR-CAL.302 automatic movement, a variant of the Sellita SW300-1 with 38 hours of power reserve. Other features include a sapphire crystal with AR coating, 100 meters of water resistance, and a stealthy, well-integrated black rubber strap that flows with the rest of the look. For an even more “tactical” look, Bell & Ross includes a synthetic fabric strap, which appears to be secured with a hook-and-loop material (i.e., Velcro), which we’ve seen from the brand before.

I’ve actually been a fan of the Bell & Ross BR 03 series watches for quite some time. They’ve become archetypal for Bell & Ross, and as I mentioned, I’m happy that the brand is still experimenting with the range. While this specific version wouldn’t be my first pick (I still love the Bell & Ross BR 03-93 GMT) I think the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black Camo will be popular in certain circles, though it might be more destined to see action in the club than on the battlefield. The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black Camo will retail for a price of $3,800. bellross.com

The dial of this Bell Ross Watch White Replica Vintage V1-92 Bellytanker is simple and quite legible, with applied metal hour mark including Arabic markers at 12, 6, 3, and 9. The hands are stainless steel and full of Super-LumiNova for legibility in low light. A favorite feature of mine present in the two watches is the counter-weight of the seconds hand, which is a very simple triangle and appears to be designed to look like a delta-wing airplane. Both the watches have a date window at 4:30 which, to be honest, I’m not a fan of and believe could have been excluded. However, this is a personal preference and so far as date windows extend, this is nicely done and the date wheel is at precisely the same gilt copper shade as the dial — no cutting corners with a black date wheel here. A finishing touch is a shameful minute chapter ring that adds some contrast and pop to the dial of this Bell & Ross Vintage V1-92 Bellytanker.The Bell & Ross Vintage V2-94 Bellytanker chronograph shares a lot of the very same features like the hands, the second chapter ring, and date window. The principal enhancements here are both recessed, black sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock. The former shows running seconds and the latter is a 30-minute chronograph countertop. Like the chapter ring, the sub-dials include some very nice visual contrast and also help legibility. The sub-dials replace the 3 and 9 hour mark, however, the 12 and 6 Arabic markers stay and help fill in and balance out the dial visually.

Replica At Best Price 10 Discontinued Modern Watches Still On My Wish List

Post author By ukwatches
Post date March 9, 2018

It probably doesn’t surprise you that as the founder of aBlogtoWatch, I spend a lot of time looking at watches on the internet. In fact, I would say that anyone who considers themselves a watch enthusiast is more or less required to spend at least an hour a week browsing for watches on eBay or other places where random assortments of interesting timepieces are available for sale.

Some of the things that I routinely look for on eBay are watches from the last 10 to 20 years which are no longer made, but still available to buy (new or pre-owned). My curiosity compels me to see what watches are available, at what prices, and whether or not they are in excellent or highly-worn condition. As a watch industry analyst, I get a lot of my questions answered this way, but I also find myself pining for a growing number of potential watch purchases that “got away.” More practically, I often find myself investigating what watches may have crept into the realm of affordability.

The following list of watches is a very personal selection, which represents a dimension of my own tastes and artistic preferences. We have a lot of opinions here, and it doesn’t bother me if you don’t like what I like. Just realize that I’m not trying to evangelize what my tastes are on to anyone else. Below the watches I mention will be a link to those available items on eBay, which in addition to supporting aBlogtoWatch will allow you to join me in seeing how many are currently available at any given time, and what they might cost these days. Someday, I think I’d like to own at least one example of each of these watches.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy SEALs Diving Alarm

Back when Jaeger-LeCoultre was still making macho men’s watches (boy does aBlogtoWatch miss the days of Extreme Labs and the AMVOX series) it had the interesting fortune of being the official watchmaker of the United States Navy SEALs (yes, before the brand retired their boots for soft slippers). The watches they made for this partnership were all approved by the Navy SEALs themselves and designed for actual duty. Suffice it to say that they were badass. If you grew up in watches when Jerome Lambert was at the helm of JLC, then you had excellent horological treasures to lust after (and you never even once tried on a Reverso). Of those models, the Alarm was the most interesting one to me. It’s a 44mm wide 300m diver in titanium with a rare automatic alarm-based movement meant to be heard underwater. Take that, moonphase.

Using its micro-rotor and ampersand-adorned flying tourbillon, the BR X2 was a step nearer to this latest creation not least because it had been something of a sapphire sandwich. The newest Bell & Ross Watches Price In India Replica BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire is like a functional hybrid of the two — but with a twist, as it employs the BR-X1 case constructed from five, quite carefully carved sapphire blocks.The Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire is a whole hell of a long way to get a brand whose humble beginnings began with instrument watches (recall B&R’s watches was fabricated by German instrument watch master Sinn), but a journey that has gotten considerably more impressive since the Experimental line continues to find interesting ways to visually and technologically push the envelope. Sapphire crystal is more or less scratch-proof, but its hardness has made it especially difficult to utilize in anything other than very simple shapes. Technology and techniques have significantly improved in recent years, nevertheless, with much more fully sapphire-cased watches, as well as prices for them starting to come down such as with the Hublot Big Bang UNICO Sapphire (hands-on) – however they tend to remain more rare and costly even than precious metal case watches.

Gerald Genta Gefica

After designing some of today’s (still) most popular luxury sports watches, Gerald Genta went on to create his own brand. One of the last watch collections the brand produced (before it was purchased and then consumed by Bulgari) was the modern generation Gefica, which was developed based on the original Gefica watches from the 1990s. The Gefica was said to be inspired by an African Safari and was probably the first luxury watch to feature bronze as a case material (it rarely gets credit for this). Large, and purposely made to show off its avant-garde design in the most modern-generation style, the Gefica made use of the brand’s popular jumping hour retrograde minute hand dial layout. Definitely a weird and cool watch that I’ve lusted after for years.

Chanel J12 Matte Black Ceramic 42mm H3131

Chanel popularized ceramic as a watch case material, and also helped usher in an era of well-made fashion watches. Today, the J12 is typically associated with women’s watches, but that is mostly because of the brand’s clever ability to take a classic sports watch aesthetic, make it in shiny white ceramic, and get the fashion world really excited about it. Chanel’s less common men’s watches are excellent in my opinion, and a model that I continue to think about is the reference H3131 Automatic. What made it special is the 42mm wide size as well as the matte (versus polished) black ceramic case and bracelet.

Eterna KonTiki Diver

The right watch at the wrong time… and probably at the wrong price defined the Eterna KonTiki Diver, which later became the Porsche Design Diver P’6780 (Eterna produced Porsche Design watches at the time). With a complicated case that had a pop-up inner section for the dial and movement, the Eterna KonTiki Diver was an excellent modern piece of diving equipment, and a dive watch lover’s dream. It was truly innovative yet sexy, and yet stumbled because of poor marketing and almost no brand recognition at the time (in key markets like the United States). Watches like this were just coming out when aBlogtoWatch was a new website, and about a decade later, I still think about owning one.

Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph XXL Automatic

Did you know that Montblanc made a modern urban Panerai? Yeah, it was called the Timewalker, and prior to its current driving watch form, the Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph Automatic was a wonderfully proportioned modern men’s watch that simply never hit its marketing stride. Wonderful details include the skeletonized lugs, wonderfully elegant dial style, and perhaps the best all-around contemporary men’s watch design Montblanc has ever made. They were always priced a bit too far out of my student budget’s hands when they first came out, but today they feel like a bargain. My all-time favorite continues to be one of Montblanc’s simple versions with an all-steel case and matching silver dial paired with a brown alligator strap.

Cartier Calibre Diver

You may have not even known that Cartier stopped making the Calibre Diver at the time of writing, but they did. The entire Calibre collection as a whole is apparently being slowed down or even perhaps entirely stopped. Something about Cartier not wanting to be too sporty right now (for some reason we probably don’t agree with since we happen to quite like their sports watches). With the Calibre collection came Cartier’s in-house made high-volume movements. Even though they were nothing out of the ordinary in terms of performance, it was the first time in a while that we felt that Cartier really cared about the watch guy. The Calibre Diver was their big ambition to take on the Rolex Submariner in Cartier Style. It remains an imperfect dive watch compared to the Rolex, but more perfect at swooning the ladies. And isn’t that what expensive dive watches are all about?

Ventura by Hannes Wettstein

If you like tool watches and want to dabble in minimalism, it is hard to not really appreciate the watches designed by the late Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein for Ventura. Hannes Wettstein was one of those talented designers who “take the horological challenge.” That’s when someone popular who makes functional items for daily use tackles the tough challenge of designing a watch. The Germanic Swiss design faithfully appreciates the need for elegant masculinity, but is also clearly infatuated with making a very sparse yet legible design inspired by the Speedmaster Moonwatch school of thought. Wettstein designed a few watches for Ventura, with of course some of those products being better than others.

Alain Silberstein Krono

French Alain Silberstein was by all accounts a prolific and highly artistic watch designer. One of his key talents was to respect the codes of traditional watchmaking while also having fun at each corner. He would do things like replace days of the week on a calendar wheel with various smiley faces or make feel-good child-like designs that were also studies in proper proportions and legibility. The Krono models were most of those that had chronograph complications, and often included one of his personal favorite movements which was the Swiss ETA Valjoux 7751 – probably because it gave him an awful lot of different hands to design.

Bell & Ross Geneva 123

The late 1990s sizing of this 37mm wide watch could possibly prevent me from wearing it too much, but I love this early Bell & Ross urban dress watch design. Way more exciting than the city it is named for, the Geneva 123 celebrates symmetry and great looking hands (in that sense it is very Swiss, even though it was born in Paris). Its finely made “no gap” bracelet was the only logical attachment because a strap (in my opinion) almost kills this watch. If Bell & Ross decided to revisit these hands and this aesthetic, I think it would be popular.

Baume et Mercier Capeland

At some point I hope someone will explain to me why in the early 2010s a bunch of modern-looking watch collections started getting vintage-ized. It happened to the Capeland as well. I first discovered the Baume et Mercier (they still used “et” versus “&” back then) Capeland very early on in my watch enthusiast career, as a teenager. The blend of strong masculine legibility, mixed with a sort of old-world class that one didn’t see very often in big city America is what compelled me. I also liked it for many of the same reasons I liked the Bell & Ross Geneva 123 – as in a way, it was a cousin timepiece in style to the Capeland. Baume et Mercier made some interesting dive watch models in even more contemporary sizes, but their attempt to look too sporty ruins a lot of the desirable elegance in the smaller models.

Getting back to the watches, the Bell & Ross Watches History Replica Vintage V1-92 Bellytanker is a time-only see with a date feature, although the Bell & Ross Vintage V2-94 Bellytanker is a chronograph. Both watches have a gilt metallic copper dial — a rather unusual but quite attractive color and finish. It reminds me of the color of faux-patina lume that we view on a lot of classic re-issues but considerably warmer and warmer. Both watches have a steel case with an easy, familiar case design. The case has a brushed finish that gives it a pragmatic look, like a field watch or something you’d wear into the racetrack — quite appropriate for the context. The watches are rated to 100m of water resistance, and also the V2-94 chronograph is even equipped with screw down pushers, a screw-down crown, and crown guards to optimize durability.The differences between the cases of the two watches are case dimension, caseback, and the tachymeter bezel on the chronograph. The Bell & Ross Vintage V1-92 Bellytanker time-only includes a metal screw-down caseback and is at a classical 38.5mm case size, which I think makes it appropriate for multiple wrist dimensions and all sexes. The Bell & Ross Vintage V2-94 Bellytanker, on the other hand, has a screen caseback and is in a 41mm case size due to a bigger movement, busier dial, along with the tachymeter bezel. Again, this really is a wonderful size for sporty, vintage-looking chronograph.

Though probably best known for its more affordable, instrument-inspired pilot and field watches, French watchmaker Bell & Ross continues to assert itself as much more than a one-trick pony, with the latest addition to its BR-X “Experimental” collection: the wild Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire.

Standouts in this sometimes divisive collection have included the stealthy forged carbon BR-X1 (hands-on) and the more exotic Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic watch (hands-on). With its micro-rotor and ampersand-adorned flying tourbillon, the BR X2 was a step closer to this latest creation not least because it was something of a sapphire sandwich. The new Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire is like a functional hybrid of the two – but with a twist, as it uses the BR-X1 case assembled from five, very carefully carved sapphire blocks.

The Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire is a whole hell of a long way for a brand whose humble beginnings started with tool watches (remember B&R’s watches used to be manufactured by German tool watch master Sinn), but a journey that’s gotten considerably more impressive as the Experimental line continues to find interesting ways to visually and technologically push the envelope. Sapphire crystal is more or less scratch-proof, but its hardness has made it particularly difficult to work with in anything other than very simple shapes. Technology and techniques have improved in recent years, however, with more fully sapphire-cased watches, and even prices for them beginning to come down such as with the Hublot Big Bang UNICO Sapphire (hands-on) – though they tend to remain more rare and expensive even than precious metal case watches.

One thing that’s particularly neat about the X1 series watches, though, is that no matter how outlandish each design gets, it still carries Bell & Ross’ core design language; that square 45mm case, screwed together at each of the four corners. And though this DNA does carry through to the Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire, were it not for the case signatures, this one could be mistaken for something other than a Bell & Ross watch, as the primary timekeeping cues (the hour and minute hands) have been shrunken to the upper 12:00 region of the dial. While this does give plenty of opportunity to enjoy the flying tourbillon’s movement against all the clear, negative space from the sapphire, it does detract somewhat from overall utility and legibility in comparison with the brand’s pilot and tool watches – something that other Experimental offerings have maintained.

The steely gray lines of the 3Hz manually-wound BR-CAL.288 movement architecture cast a nicely skeletonized, industrial contrast against all the translucent elements on the watch – even the strap is translucent rubber, which should make for some interesting wrist shots. Part of the idea, besides the novelty itself of a totally transparent case, is that the movement and even the screws holding the case together are visible from about every angle. The only part of the watch that isn’t fully see-through is the large mainspring barrel itself, which provides 100 hours of power reserve, and is tucked conveniently behind the luminous hour and minute hands at 12:00, preserving some degree of legibility for timekeeping.

In keeping with the more exclusive traditions of the Experimental collection, only eight pieces of the Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire have been produced. However, this particular piece is now the most expensive of all the X1 offerings – even beating out the BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon Rose Gold Diamond variant by a healthy margin – with an asking price for the Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire of $385,000. bellross.com

One thing that’s particularly neat about the X1 series watches, even though, is that no matter how eccentric each design gets, it still conveys Bell & Ross’ core design language; this square 45mm case, screwed together at each of the four corners. Although this DNA does carry through to the Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire, were it not for the case signatures, this one could be confused for something apart from a Bell & Ross watch, as the key timekeeping cues (the hour and minute hands) were shrunken to the upper 12:00 region of this dial. While this does give lots of chance to enjoy the flying tourbillon’s motion against all the clear, negative space from the sapphire, it does detract somewhat from overall utility and legibility as compared with the brand’s pilot and instrument watches — something which other Experimental offerings have maintained.The steely gray lines of the 3Hz manually-wound BR-CAL.288 movement structure cast a nicely skeletonized, industrial contrast against each of the translucent components on the watch – even the strap is translucent rubber, which should make for some interesting wrist shots.

The only region of the watch which is not completely see-through is the large mainspring barrel itself, that provides 100 hours of power reserve, and is tucked conveniently supporting the luminous hour and minute hands at 12:00, preserving some level of legibility for timekeeping.In keeping with the more exclusive customs of this Experimental collection, just eight pieces of the Bell & Ross BR-X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire are generated.

Auctions are best suited to the sale of unique items that aren’t otherwise available on the market. For that reason, I always look forward to the interesting watches that are donated to the Only Watch auction series which is currently being run by the auction house Christie’s. Only Watch is an event that we’ve covered a lot over the years on aBlogtoWatch, and the next installment of this biennial auction sale will happen in Geneva on November 11th, 2017.

The Only Watch auction series isn’t as strong an event as it used to be, but its main theme continues to be respected. The idea is that watch brands submit unique watches made especially to be donated and sold at the auction. These are unique prototypes or are the first in a limited-edition series. The proceeds (minus all sorts of fees, I am sure) are to be given to Association Monegasque Contre le Myopathies (AMM) whose goal is to fund medical research to help treat a form of muscular dystrophy.

width=”730″ height=”411″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”&gt;

Only Watch is only as strong as the watches which are donated by watch brands. These are tax write-offs as well as a way to get publicity and an ego boost. Brands love to see their products go under the gavel and get bought up by collectors. With that said, there is nothing to stop brands from bidding on their own watches either directly or via a proxy. So, in my opinion, the actual numerical value of what the watches end up going for at the auction should be taken with a grain of salt. That same philosophy should be applied to the results of any auction, as they merely represent what one buyer, who happened to be present, was willing to do on that day.

This year, Only Watch decided to debut all of the watch auction lots on the same day, which is a departure from their more traditional tactic of slowly releasing watches over a several-week or several-month period. Nevertheless, certain brands didn’t quite get their acts together and get stuff done on time. I will go into that a bit more below. Another semi-new element to the auction is that many of the auction lots include an experience such as a trip or special meeting – along with the watch, of course. These experiences (which are not attached to all the lots, should help liven up the bidding quite a bit when the experiences prove as interesting as the timepieces.

A total of 49 lots will be auctioned off during the event in November that, unfortunately, won’t be able to benefit from the glitz of having an event in Monaco itself. With that said, the watches (well, the complete ones) will be traveling around the world “on tour” so that potential buyers can check them out. Click the link above to see if you are in one of the nine cities that will have the watches there for a few days at a time starting at the end of September 2017.

In the video that is embedded in this article, you can hear myself and David Bredan talk about all 49 of the watches/clocks. We spend just a few moments on each in order to bring you our take. This year’s lots aren’t bad as wearable items, but leave much to be desired when it comes to actually being interesting or unique. Allow me to go over some of the most interesting and important lots from Only Watch 2017. For a full list of the watches along with technical specifications and auction price estimates check out the watches at the Only Watch website.

Patek Philippe always uses this occasion to release a one-of-a-kind version with a titanium or steel case of an existing watch they produce or have produced. This year’s model is a bit more on the conservative side, but is very high-end and will easily be the auction’s top lot with a price that is almost guaranteed to be over a million dollars. The watch is the Patek Philippe 5208T-010, which is a version in titanium on a blue cordura strap of their perpetual calendar chronograph minute repeater. At 42mm wide, this is among the larger timepieces that Patek Philippe makes – and of course, it is considered to be a “grand complication,” which means it is far more exclusive than more standard Patek Philippe products. The 5208 is a really nifty Patek Philippe, and this version – like all the titanium or steel models for Only Watch – will be coveted by collectors.

Audemars Piguet offers a blue-dialed version of its all black ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar as the reference 26599CE.OO.1225CE.01. Audemars Piguet also points out that the caseback and the oscillating weight (rotor) on the movement are also ceramic – which I believe is a first for the ceramic Royal Oak models. It will go for a fair amount of money, but nothing mind-blowing, in my opinion. This is just another uncommon (in this instance, unique) watch for one of the world’s many Audemars Piguet fans.

The last Only Watch auction was the first that Tudor participated in, and even though their watch was among the lowest when it came to the auction estimate, it went for a really high price. Once again, Tudor comes to Only Watch with a small change on an existing model which is a lefty version with an olive green bezel and dial of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze. They call it the Black Bay Bronze One, and it is the reference 7925/001. It isn’t the most amazing thing in the world, but it is pretty and it should attract a price likely several times what the stock Black Bay Bronze goes for. With the Tudor watch comes the experience of being invited to the Tudor headquarters in Geneva – a place that is normally not open to guests.

Ulysse Nardin’s Only Watch 2017 entrant isn’t all that original either, but pleasant enough, with a steel-cased version of the Marine Tourbillon known as the Ulysse Nardin Marine Tourbillon Only Watch. It has the same type of engraved and then blue enamel painted dial as this Ulysse Nardin Classic watch – so it should be truly striking in person. I would love one of these if I had the money.

I have a feeling that the second most valuable watch at Only Watch 2017 will be the piece submitted by F.P. Journe. Interestingly enough, there are two watches in the auction with movements produced by F.P. Journe’s Geneva factory. The F.P. Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante (chronograph monopusher split second) is likely going to be very nice looking in person. It begins with a unique tantalum case that is 44mm wide (bigger than pretty much anything F.P. Journe makes) and has a dial that is “blue chrome” with orange and yellow accents. The watch’s movement is further extremely beautiful being the caliber 1517 and was apparently developed just for the Only Watch 2017 auction. That makes it one of the few unique movements for the event. This watch has “half a million bucks” written all over it.

Replica At Best Price 12 Luxury Watches You Can Buy Online Now Direct From The Brand

Post author By ukwatches
Post date March 9, 2018

About those dimensions: Appearing at the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver on the wrist, an individual may not guess that it measures just 42mm wide. It might be a bizarre or abstract thing to say, but I would explain the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver as wearing much more like a 44mm-wide watch. Square cases will wear bigger than their measurements would imply — if you are familiar with watch dimensions and have a tradition of imagining how a watch may fit you based on specs and pictures before seeing it in person. Perchance a corner-to-corner measurement is a great way of assessing the extent of a square eye because that may better reflect how much wrist real estate it occupies. I truly made an attempt to portray in a few of the photographs how well it wears on my 6.5″ (17cm) wrist — although I probably couldn’t pull off even a millimeter larger.Dive watches are normally chunky, and water-resistance of 300m is more or less regular nowadays for “professional dive watches” — although some brands eliminate calling a 100m water-resistant watch a diver, and others take it much further to 1000m and more (Bell & Ross’ Hydromax in 1997 was rated to no less than 11,100m). Water-resistance is often understood by customers as a shorthand for or way of quantifying general durability. The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver is graded to 300m and matches all of the other ISO dip watch specifications, and the brand emphasizes how those specifications influenced the layout.

It’s the shopping season, and that probably means at least one thing – you are stressed out from shopping. The last thing any of us wants to do is visit more stores, so good thing the internet has us covered. In the context of luxury watch sales (for the purpose of this article I mean watches with a retail price of $5,000 and up), more and more brands are launching official e-commerce boutiques this year, which means you can buy safe and buy direct. Even though the sale of wristwatches online is anything but new, the luxury watch industry itself has only recently “officially” entered online sales in an appreciable way. Let’s take a look at some of the luxury timepieces that you can buy direct from the company this holiday season.

First, a few thoughts on authorized e-commerce sales for watches in general. The most important thing to know is that for the most part, you’ll be paying the full retail price. Though doing so yields some unexpected benefits of buying directly from a brand. It is true that (especially in the past) many brand new luxury watches could be purchased from various online discounters. For those of you accustomed to getting great deals on new luxury watches, the reality is that those days are ending. As a consumer you were benefiting from a broken distribution system that the watch industry is increasingly trying to clean up. I say this because while in the past, it might not have made sense to spend full retail and buy directly from the brand, moving forward you’ll see a lot more price consistency online – whether you buy a watch direct from a brand or an authorized third-party retailer.

Few brands are putting all their available watch models for sale online, and at the same time there are going to be more and more watches that you can exclusively buy online direct from a brand’s website (or a brick & mortar boutique). I say this because there will continue to be special or very high-end models that are not available to purchase online. In fact, a lot of brands are only putting their “core collection” products online, with limited edition or other harder-to-get watches being available in other ways (though a phone call to the brand’s customer service number usually helps you buy what you are looking for).

At the same time, you’ll increasingly see watches being sold directly from brands online that will not be available in other places. Watch companies know that exclusivity is an important factor in you making a decision about what watch to get, and where you get it. Their hope is that by offering certain models direct to the consumer (without first being sold to a third-party dealer), they will convince enough people to shop directly from them.

Finally, many luxury watch brands are still experimenting with how they communicate with their consumers, offer incentives to shop directly on their websites, or in general, manage an effective e-commerce platform that you as the consumer want to use. Consider the next few years to be a sort of transitional period when traditional watch brands accustomed to older ways of doing business finally introduce the convenience of e-commerce that so many customers have been asking for. Allow me to also note that concurrently to brands offering their watches direct to consumer via their own e-commerce stores, many are also allowing their third-party brick & mortar retailers to sell online (at presumably the same or similar prices). Note that some watch brand e-commerce stores are still available only in particular markets (such as the USA).

Chopard L.U.C XP

Chopard has among the more developed luxury watch e-commerce stores out there, servicing the US along with a number of other major markets. Even though not all of their timepieces are available to purchase online, they offer more extremely high-end and complicated watches via e-commerce than most other brands I can think of. This includes much of the celebrated L.U.C collection. While it is nowhere near the top of what they offer, the recently released 40mm wide Chopard L.U.C XP in steel with the blue fabric cashmere strap (aBlogtoWatch hands-on here) is a lovely dress watch with an exciting in-house made automatic movement. Price is $9,250 USD. chopard.com

Panerai Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic

Panerai just recently launched their official e-commerce boutique in the US for watches, but have been selling straps and other accessories for a while. Panerai has a loyal following of collectors, who likely enjoy the ability to get their timepieces online with ease. The Panerai Luminor Due (aBlogtoWatch review here) is among the new Panerai watch families and is distinguished by a familiar look but a thinner case (about 40% according to Panerai) and an in-house made automatic movement. The pictured model has a 45mm wide steel case with a retail price of $10,500 USD. panerai.com

IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic

Sporting an in-house made automatic chronograph movement and (as implied by the name) a classic look, the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic is a sensible, and versatile luxury watch designed to go most places you want to take it – and like most other IWC watches, you can get it direct from the brand. IWC has continued to refine its Portugieser (Portuguese) watch collection for years, a design that was originally inspired by ship deck clocks. The Portugieser Chronograph Classic has a 42mm wide steel case, alligator strap, and attractive (plus legible) blued hands and hour markers. Retail price as pictured is $12,100 USD. iwc.com

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Master Chronometer

Omega just recently launched their own e-commerce shop to join many others. I like the newly updated Seamaster Planet Ocean collection, that has a series of important upgrades which make it better than ever. Available in a range of sizes and styles, the three-hand 43.5mm model is a relatively fresh addition, and now contains a Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement (which you can see through the sapphire crystal caseback). The pictured model with the orange accents easily has the best mix of personality and fashionable versatility. As pictured in steel on the bracelet, price is $6,550 USD. omegawatches.com

Longines Master Collection 40mm Gold 18K Chronograph With Moon Phase

Unlike some watchmakers, Longines has a totally separate (which can be confusing for consumers) website area for e-commerce, aside from the basic longines.com. Value-laden Longines timepieces are a good option when you want a reasonable price for a solid-gold watch (among other types of pieces) such as this Master Collection 40mm Gold 18K Chronograph With Moonphase that contains a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7751 automatic movement. The 18k gold case is paired to an alligator strap, and the overall composition of the timepiece is intentionally timeless by design. It is as straightforward as the retail price, which is $10,250 USD. shop.us.longines.com

Replica Watches Young Professional The Best ‘His & Hers’ Watches For Couples

Post author By ukwatches
Post date March 9, 2018

To many couples, the idea of a “his-and-hers” watch duo is appealing. The idea is to have sets of watches from the same brand and collection which are offered in equally appealing men’s and women’s variants. Thus, there is typically a larger and more masculinized “his” version, as well as typically a smaller and possibly more decorative “hers” version of the same model watch. His-and-hers watch sets are common enough, but finding ones that look just as good on both people is a bit more challenging. Below, we round up many of the most classic and appealing his and hers watches for couples that further demonstrate the importance and power of truly versatile watch designs.

A quick note on same-sex couples who may be similarly interested in matching, yet distinct timepieces. The situation for these couples is actually less challenging, as in many instances the choice will be not a watch model that has good-looking versions in various sizes, but rather watches which are mostly the same but with material, color, or other cosmetic differences. Same-sex couples looking for matching watches thus may have an easier time, though specific such recommendations are outside the scope of this article.

It is, perhaps, little surprise that classic-looking, conservative watches tend to look the best in both smaller and larger sizes. More distinctive or artistic timepiece designs tend to look best in a more narrow set of design considerations. With that said, you’ll notice that some watch models from the same brand are quite different in “his form” versus “her form.” The real challenge really comes down to selecting a duo of watches that both members of the couple enjoy equally.

If you want to add other good “his and hers” watches to the list, be sure to mention them in the comments below so that people looking for great options can be aware of them.

Rolex Datejust

For me, a success in a his-and-hers watch combo is each piece being the only watch you really need, and the Rolex Datejust and Lady-Datejust absolutely fit that bill. It is even easy to imagine a couple unintentionally ending up with matching Rolex Datejust watches. The quintessential everyday men’s Rolex gifted at birthdays, weddings, and, yes, retirements, the Rolex Datejust is an enduring men’s icon. However, just as ubiquitous is the Rolex Lady-Datejust which successfully feminizes the “grandpa” image that the Datejust can be saddled with. No, it’s not the most youthful piece, so it might not appeal to younger couples, and the price matches the Rolex reputation. The updated Rolex Datejust 41 introduced last year ranges from €9,150 to €11,200. The Rolex the Lady-Datejust 31 in two tone retails for $9,700.

Cartier Santos

Cartier Santos Galbee for her; Cartier Santos 100 for him. The Cartier Santos comes with a great history as the first pilot watch ever created and one of the earliest wrist watches for men ever. Though it began as a men’s watch, it later developed a strong feminine appeal as well. The smaller, 34.8mm-by-26.2mm Cartier Santos Galbee is a good size for women and comes in a “two-tone” steel and gold case with a quartz movement, for a price of $17,300. For guys, the 41mm-wide Cartier Santos 100 with the automatic Cartier 1847 MC movement comes in all steel ($7,000), a two-tone model we reviewed here ($9,650) that would match best with the Galbee, and a black carbon model ($7,600) as the most macho and sporty option.

Hublot Big Bang

Hublot will always offer a bold choice for a man or a woman. The Hublot Big Bang Unico 45, as its name suggests, is 45mm wide and requires some degree of bravado from the wearer – or will perhaps supply you with some. Shown above is the Big Bang Unico 45 Black Magic version that is in a ceramic case, with a skeletonized dial, and Hublot’s HUB1242 UNICO Manufacture movement, all for a price of $19,900. Available in a range of pastel color options, Hublot’s Big Bang Linen is 41mm wide and includes the HUB4300 automatic chronograph movement, precious stones on the bezel, and commands a price of $15,700.

Patek Philippe Nautilus

The quintessential steel sports watch by Patek Philippe, the Nautilus is a contender for top power-couple watch. Recently celebrating its 40th birthday, the Nautilus (along with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak) takes the self-assured luxury of a steel sports watch that costs as much as one made in precious metals and offers an everyday wear with, love it or hate it, top-tier brand recognition and quality. In recent times, Patek has doubled down on its classic designs that veer to the traditional side, but the Gerald Genta-designed Nautilus has remained a perennially popular watch with broad appeal. The 40mm-wide men’s model ref. 5711/1A-010 and the 35mm-wide ladies ref. 7118/1A-001 are both priced the same at about $24,000.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

The Patek Philippe Nautilus vs. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak debate has been litigated and relitigated for years because, like all great timeless debates, there really isn’t a clear winner and both are legends in the world of steel luxury sport watches. The Royal Oak really has emerged as a more mainstream timepiece that you’ll see worn by celebrities, in pop-culture, and on the wrists of uber-wealthy teenage scions on Instagram. Still, the Gerald Genta-designed Royal Oak is an icon that comes in at 37mm (ref. 15450ST.OO.1256ST.01) or 41mm (ref. 15400ST.OO.1220ST.04) options that share an automatic caliber 3120 movement with a solid 60-hour power reserve. It’s far from being an original choice at this point, but it is the original non-round steel luxury sports watch that is nothing short of refined and cool as a his-and-hers option. The 37mm model is priced at $16,500 and the 41mm is $17,800, significantly less than the Patek Nautilus.

Longines Evidenza

The Tonneau-shaped Longines Evidenza is an affordable Swiss watch that should appeal to a couple that appreciates a mechanical watch that stands out, has brand heritage, but costs less than competitors. There’s something inimitably charming about the idea of a couple wearing matching his and hers Tonneau-case watches since it’s a way to stand out from the crowd, but do it together. The men’s model is 33.1mm X 38.75mm and has the caliber L615, based off an ETA-2895-2 movement which operates at 28,800vph and has a 42-hour power reserve. The ladies model shrinks down to 26mm X 30.6mm and has the L595 caliber, based off the ETA 2000/1 which operates at 28,800vph and has a 40-hour power reserve. It also comes in a 19mm X 23mm quartz version. The men’s version on steel bracelet is priced at $2,225, the 26mm ladies version on an alligator strap is $2,000, and the 19mm quartz model is $1,450.

Movado Bold

A more youthful take on the classic Movado museum dial, the Movado Bold was the natural choice when it came to the brand’s connected device offerings. They still offer a ton of traditional non-connected Bold options ranging from the mid to high 3-figure prices that allow for a lot of fun mixing and matching for a his-and-hers combination that is unified by the classically minimalist museum dial. The entire Bold line only comes in quartz, so we are talking about an option that focuses on style, accessibility, and general ease of use. Ladies models range from 25mm all the way up to 42.5mm, and the men’s selections go from there to 44mm. The non-connected Movado Bold watches for men and women start at $390 and go up to about $995 (and a $1,495 ladies model with diamonds on the bezel). The Movado Bold Motion connected watches start at $490 for the 39mm and range from $695 to $895 for the 44mm models.

Bell & Ross

Bell & Ross’s square shaped watches based on the look of airplane cockpit instruments are a modern classic and come in a slew of variations including different materials and sizes. At 42mm wide, the BR 03 is probably the most wearable for men while still providing a lot of wrist presence. The BR S, while probably still a good fit for many men at 39mm, will also appeal to many women wanting a bold and fashionable piece. The version seen above in black ceramic with diamonds and running on a quartz movement, however, is distinctly feminine and has a price of $8,600. The basic steel model Bell & Ross BR 03-92 in steel with a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement and on a rubber strap is $3,400.

Rado Ceramica

A couple that’s into the modernist aesthetic isn’t going to have the easiest time finding a his-and-hers piece that matches their style, but the Rado Ceramica presents a sleek and (you guessed it) ceramic option. Recently redesigned by industrial designer Konstantin Grcic, the Rado Ceramica only comes in Quartz in order to maintain a slimmer wrist profile. The practical benefit of not having to deal with making sure a watch is wound is important to a lot of people, but it doesn’t mean design and materials are compromised. The men’s Ceramica is 30mm X 41.7mm, while the ladies model is 22.9mm X 31.7mm. I love the look of the matte-black ceramic on these watches, but the ladies model available in white looks very, very cool also. Price for the men’s and ladies Rado Ceramica is $2,100 and the ladies models with 4 diamonds on the dial are priced at $2,250.

IWC Pilot’s Watch

It’s common for women to wear men’s style sport watches as opposed to more feminine formal wear. For a lot of women, the perfect combination is a traditionally men’s style design but sized for her smaller wrist. So is the case with IWC’s Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36, which comes in a few dial and strap styles in a 36mm-wide steel case that will look good on ladies who like a more “instrumental look” on their wrist. For him, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII is the more masculine counterpart which continues a long tradition of pilot watch design by the brand. The IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII is in steel on a strap or bracelet in a 40mm-wide case. Both watches contain base Swiss automatic movements. The IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII for men is $3,950 strap or $4,950 bracelet and the IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36 for women is priced the same.

Breitling Galactic

When I think about the major Swiss watch brands, Breitling is one that I almost never associate with ladies watches. The Breitling Galactic, however, comes in 29mm, 32mm, and 36mm in addition to the 41mm version. I think there’s definitely a market for the bold, aggressive Breitling aesthetic but in a smaller case size. I honestly can’t say I know a couple that really fits into what I imagine the customers for a his and hers Breitling Galactic to be but I can imagine that they share similar sporty hobbies and lifestyles. For the smaller 29mm and 32mm models, Breitling decided to use their Superquartz movements, while there is the option of the Breitling caliber 37 automatic movement for the 36mm, which operates at 28,800vph and has a 42-hour power reserve. The 29mm only comes in one version with diamonds on the dial and bezel, with a price of $8,330. The 32mm is $5,420 in steel and $7,210 with diamonds on a leather strap. The quartz 36mm on a leather strap is $4,515, and the diamonds and steel bracelet model is $10,950. The automatic 36mm in gold and steel two-tone is $9,255 and steel bracelet with diamonds is $10,735. And finally, we get to the men’s 41mm models which are $5,325 on leather strap and $5,985 on steel bracelet.

The dial of the Bell & Ross Vintage V1-92 Bellytanker is simple and very legible, using applied metal hour mark such as Arabic markers at 12, 6, 3, and 9. The hands are polished steel and filled with Super-LumiNova for legibility in reduced light. A favorite feature of mine within the two watches is the counter-weight of the seconds hand, which is a simple triangle and seems to be designed to look like a delta-wing plane. Both the watches have a date window at 4:30 which, to tell the truth, I am not a fan of and believe could’ve been excluded. Nonetheless, this really is a personal taste and as far as date windows extend, this really is nicely done and the date wheel is in the same gilt copper shade as the dial — no cutting corners with a black date wheel here. A finishing touch is a black second chapter ring which adds some contrast and pop to the dial of the Bell & Ross Vintage V1-92 Bellytanker.The Bell & Ross Vintage V2-94 Bellytanker chronograph shares a lot of the same features like the hands, the minute chapter ring, and date window. The main enhancements here are the two brightly, black sub-dials in 3 and 9 o’clock. Such as the chapter ring, the sub-dials add some very nice visual comparison and also help legibility. The sub-dials replace both 3 and 9 hour markers, however, the 12 and 6 Arabic markers stay and help fill in and balance the dial out visually.

Swiss Movement Replica Watches Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic Watch Hands-On

Post author By ukwatches
Post date March 9, 2018

On day one of Baselworld 2017, one of the most interesting new watches I saw was the Bell & Ross BR X2 Micro-Rotor Automatic. With a new case, movement, and provocative design, this circa $65,000 limited-edition watch is a lovely testament to why we like wearing bold designs with conspicuous mechanical movements. Bell & Ross president Carlos Rosillo was wearing it at Baselworld’s Bell & Ross stand, enthusiastically showing it off – Mr. Rosillo gets more excited about his new products than almost any brand leader I know.

He asks me (probably rhetorically), “what is the most important part of a wristwatch?” I’m pretty sure I know he wants me to say “the movement,” so I do. “Yes,” and he proceeds to explain to me how the design philosophy of the BR X2 watch is all about removing what appears to be the separation of case and movement, instead melding it into one visual object. Thus, with a steel movement plate between two thick layers of carefully machined sapphire crystal, there is a transparent sapphire case that connects directly to the movement. The effect is both visually stunning and rather novel.

Bell & Ross does this entirely for visual spectacle – and it seems to work. When I last encountered a concept similar to this, it was in the Piaget 900P (aBlogtoWatch hands-on here) which merged the movement plate and watch case in order to make the thinnest mechanical watch movement in the world. While the Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic is actually thinner-feeling than the brand’s other square-cased “Instrument” watches, it isn’t about breaking size records. More importantly, it is about looking darn cool while also being something movement nerds can faithfully stand behind.

Bell & Ross worked with the Swiss movement maker MHC in order to produce the movement inside of the Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic. The movement is, for the most part, simple (for a tourbillon) and satisfying, offering the time with tourbillon as the seconds indicator, and automatic winding via a micro-rotor which can be seen on the rear of the movement. Bell & Ross uses their now signature ampersand logo on the cage over the variable inertia balance wheel tourbillon mechanism. The tourbillon is decidedly wide in diameter in order to offer an expansive view on the dial.

Gerald Genta-style hands and matching hour markers are tastefully placed on the top part of the movement bridge. These hands and hour markers are made a bit distinctive due to their size and coloration. While they are filled with Super-LumiNova luminous material, I feel that the satin-finishing of the hands blends in a bit too much with the dial in order to have ideal contrast for excellent legibility. The watch is rather legible when you look closely at it, but as is the case with many “artistic and complex” watches, legibility stands back a bit in favor of pure aesthetic expression.

Looking at the Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic case from various angles allows you to appreciate the interesting detailing and beveled edges of the sapphire crystal case top and rear. Clearly, the case is inspired by Bell & Ross’ now iconic BR01 and BR03 collection of square-cased watches. With that said, the case is actually a totally new size, even though it is based on the BR03 – which is 42mm wide. The Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic is 42.5mm wide, so that’s only a slight difference.

There are so many ways in which a design such as this could have gone wrong – but I credit Bell & Ross’ serious attention to design detail for making something like the Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic work as well as it does. I think it requires a mixture of insisting on various design elements (such as the hour track ring on the dial to help emphasize the watch face) as well as restraint in not adding too much to the overall case and movement design.

Best of all, with its 42.5mm-wide square case and thin profile, the Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic is a rather comfortable timepiece making it totally acceptable for daily wear. This debut model (I have a feeling this is a concept Bell & Ross will return to in years to come) is placed on a tapered light gray alligator strap. What I think is most impressive about the overall look of the Bell & Ross BR X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor Automatic is that it is decidedly a watch for mechanical movement lovers, but is able to retain a masculine sex appeal and does not look nerdy (as concepts such as this tend to do).

About those measurements: Appearing at the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver on the wrist, an individual may not guess that it measures only 42mm wide. It might be a weird or subjective thing to say, but I would explain the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver as sporting more like a 44mm-wide watch. Square instances are going to wear larger than their measurements would suggest — if you are familiar with watch dimensions and have a tradition of imagining how a watch might fit you based on pictures and specs before seeing it in person. Perhaps a corner-to-corner measurement is a great way of evaluating the size of a square watch since that may better reflect how much wrist real estate it occupies. I truly made an effort to portray in some of the photographs how well it wears on my 6.5″ (17cm) wrist — though I probably couldn’t pull off even a millimeter larger.Dive watches tend to be chunky, and water-resistance of 300m is more or less standard nowadays for “professional dive watches” — even though some brands get away with calling a 100m water-resistant watch a diver, and others take it much farther to 1000m and more (Bell & Ross’ Hydromax in 1997 was rated to no less than 11,100m). Water-resistance is often understood by customers as a shorthand for or method of quantifying general durability.

Replica At Best Price Bell & Ross BR03-94 Horolum And BR03-92 Horoblack Watches

Bell & Ross, purveyors of aviation-themed, instrument-styled watches, have recently announced the addition of two limited edition models to one of their core collections. The new Bell & Ross BR03-92 Horoblack three hand automatic and the BR03-94 Horolum chronograph are bead-blasted, subdued takes on the BR03 square-cased standard and feature sandwich dials intended for maximum legibility.

Starting with the BR03-92 Horoblack, Bell & Ross have elected to stick with their standard 42mm BR03, stainless steel, rounded square case, this time with a micro-blasted effect to limit reflections and create a utilitarian look. The Horoblack’s new dial construction features a two layer sandwich design with a base layer of seldom seen black Super-LumiNova overlaid with a stainless steel dial with cutouts for the indices. Micro-blasted to match the case, the Horoblack dial and case work together to create a minimal tool watch look which should also enable easy reading of the time. Other than color treatment and material choice, the dial, hands, case, sapphire crystal, and straps on the BR03-92 Horoblack are more or less the same as core BR03 models.

Keeping time for the three hand BR03-92 Horoblack is the BR-CAL.302 automatic mechanical movement, a 25 jewel, Swiss made caliber with a 38 hour power reserve, which is based on the Sellita SW300-1. Shared with some of the “higher end” BR03 models – such as the BR03-92 Diver – the BR-CAL.302 is a solid, dependable choice for a watch like the Horoblack given the price point – even if some collectors will wish for something a little more horologically high brow.

A very good sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating can occasionally appear to even “sharpen” the dial components, to my eyes. The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver includes a 2.85mm-thick horizontal crystal with fantastic AR coating offering a clear view of the dial that is intended to be legible to start with. The applied hour markers, sloped chapter ring, and date window at 4:30 with a black date wheel to match the dial color all help lend a sense of interest and depth that I always appreciate.Clearly, I’m bullish on the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver. It was one of the funnest recent watches I’ve had the opportunity to wear for an extended time period, and I can not actually say I could discover any actual complaints relating to it. There are a couple of things that I can think of, however, that Bell & Ross can do to further sweeten the deal. First, ceramic bezel inserts are more scratch-resistant, and are becoming practically standard nowadays, which makes aluminum inserts begin to feel less premium. Second, it is likely to have 300m water resistance on a watch using a screen caseback, and that would increase the value, interest, and user experience for the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver. The solid caseback, though, is probably also valuable for protecting the motion from magnetic fields. Last, including something in the motion department, like COSC certificate, for instance, would further kick up it a notch. All of these items would probably also be grounds to increase the price, of course.The Swiss automatic movement inside is the perfectly suitable, reliable, and common Sellita SW300-1 (“BR-CAL.302”). Power reserve of 42 hours, working at 4Hz… you understand the specs. The screw-down crown has been coated with rubber and easy to grip with a strong and smooth-as-butter winding feel. I like the rubber on the crown, but I wonder how rubber elements like this on watches can hold up with time. The strap can be rubber, is comfortable and soft, and includes a suitably giant steel buckle.

Built with a similar concept is the BR03-94 Horolum chronograph, a subdued take on the standard BR03-94 Chronograph. Different from the core model on the Horolum is the micro-blasted 42mm case and micro-blasted stainless steel sandwich dial construction, this time with a base plate of C3 Super-LumiNova, and a grey-green calfskin strap to accompany the BR standard synthetic, which is also included. A Calibre BR-CAL.301 automatic allows for tracking of time and date as well as a 30-minute chronograph function and is based on the 37 jewel ETA 2894-2. Like the BR03-92 Horoblack, the BR03-94 Horolum is essentially identical in design to its more pedestrian sibling other than the blasted case and sandwich dial design. Owing to the helping of C3 Super-LumiNova on the Horolum’s sandwich dial, nighttime reading should be excellent.

Limited editions like the BR03-92 Horoblack and BR03-94 Horolum are in keeping with B&R’s custom of creating limited models based on their central collection of instrument-style watches. While the new models are more like color updates than real “new” watches, the utilitarian style and matte effect will no doubt appeal to the tool watch crowd in the market for a new square time teller. The BR03-92 Horoblack will be available for $3,400 and the BR03-94 Horolum will retail for $5,800. bellross.com
