Omega Speedmaster: Present Day
Speedys in the movies (and TV). Speedmaster, the early years. Graduation to the Professional ranks. Electronic, quartz, and other Speedmaster variations. We've seen a lot of the Speedmaster over the last few articles, and it brings us to the present day.For sure, Omega knows what they have in their heritage. Along with creating new models, the last few years have seen Omega releases in the form of updates to venerable models of the past. These include several models from the Seamaster line, Broad Arrow models, the PloProf, and the Bullhead. The Speedmaster line includes the First Omega In Space homage to Wally Schirra's Mercury Sigma7 mission watch and the new MK II. And most of these reinterpretations carry the new co-axial escapement which the late George Daniels kindly provided the horological world.A quick check of the Omega website shows 13 major Speedmaster models. The variations total 73 different current releases when you add up dial, color, case material, strap/bracelet option

Hands-On: With The Blancpain Tribute To Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung (Live Pics)
Despite what you might assume, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms can be considered the original modern dive watch.

Today we go hands-on with this fitting tribute. 2 OF 10 15.4mm-thick Case Quite literally, the biggest difference between the original and the tribute is size. Vintage Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lungs (like this one from the 1950s) are about 37mm, while the tribute is a substantial 45mm. And while at 15.4mm thick, the Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung is a hefty watch overall, the case is nicely contoured and wears nicely for a watch of its size. The dive style sail canvas bracelet helps a lot here. 3 OF 10 The Tribute To Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung's Decorated Movement Size aside, the Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung has a lot of the design features of the original

Tudor Heritage Black Bay Noir at local AD
Just a public service announcement for the Tudor fans among us: Tourneau at South Coast Plaza here in SoCal has pretty much the full line of Tudors in the case, including the much-loved BB Noir on a bracelet. I took my kiddos out to dinner for Valentines Day, but not until I spent a few minutes trying on some Tudors. That is all. Carry on.
