Seiko Astron GPS Solar Chronograph Limited Edition Watches
When it comes to quartz-driven watches that maintain accuracy via some sort of outside reference input, you have traditionally been limited to watches that receive atomic timekeeping signals from observatories around the world. That changed in 2012, with Seiko hooking their watches up to GPS satellites. Two years down the road, we now have a new limited edition Seiko Astron GPS Solar Chronograph?in a "his and her's" design configuration.Debuted at Baselworld 2014, Seiko released a new movement for the Astron. Many times, when we talk about a new movement, we focus on the mechanical side of the house, as those (traditionally) hold the most interest �C but that is not to say that quartz movements cannot offer interesting developments. The Astron was an extremely important and highly impressive step forward, and now,?Seiko actually managed to downsize it with their new 8X82 caliber, all the while increasing ease of use (in particular, time zone switching). The size reduction is due mostly

Eberhard & Co. Champion V Watches
For 2012 Eberhard & Co. will release these two rather clean looking sport watches called the Champion V. These are new versions of older Eberhard Champion watch collection pieces released about 20 years ago. The same sober looks are maintained while the Champion V watches are more modern in every way. I don't know why, but in their press release each time they write "Champion V," the Roman numeral 5 is done in a red font.There are going to be two distinct Champion V models. One will just be called the Champion V and the other will be called the Champion V Grande Date. While they are both decent watches I must admit to not understanding why the two models exists.

The styles range a lot actually and dial colors can come in blue, black, or white with different trims. The two watches have the same case - which is 42.80mm wide and 14.45mm thick. So what is

Xetum Kendrick Hands-On
We've discussed Xetum watches a couple of times before on worn&wound. First, with a look at their all black Tyndall, and then with a more in-depth hands-on of their Stinson model. Xetum's watches are intriguing pieces, with a distinct design that has managed to keep them fresh looking, although they have not come out with many new models. Well�� now we have the pleasure of introducing you to their newest watch, the Kendrick.Case: Stainless SteelMovement: ETA 2824-2Dial: WhiteLume: YesLens: SapphireStrap: Nylon NATOWater Res.: 100MDimensions: 40mmThickness: 11mmLug Width: 20mmWarranty: 30 day return / 2 year movementPrice: $995The Kendrick is a new model by way of a redesigned dial and different strap options that combine for a very different aesthetic. If I were to summarize the look of Xetum's other two models, the Stinson and Tyndall, I would say they are clean, elegant and conservative. They have clear military inspirations and go for a highly legible index design. The Kendrick c

The Mystery of the Breitling "B"
Hey Breitlingers! I just noticed today as I was drooling on my watch, an inscription of the Breitling B on the ratcheted bezel's side at 57 minutes. Do you guys have it too, or is it just me??

My best shot, at least for now..
Pcls look amazing, the dial is sparkling and the red is popping!This is my best shot at a tough watch to photograph, at least for now..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
