Breguet Type XXI Now Offered in Titanium
The Type XXI watch was inspired by the Type XX chronograph designed by Breguet for the A��ronavale fran?aise (the French naval air arm) during the 1950s. Introduced in 2011, the new Type XXI is available for the first time with a grade 2 titanium case with a black lacquered rotating bezel sporting numerals in relief. Find wallpaper and pricing inside. The Type XXI aesthetic was inspired by that of the former Type XX models from the second generation, developed between 1970 and 1984. The new model’s functions include a date at 6 o’clock, a 24-hour indicator and a small seconds hand. Its case, 42 mm in diameter, is watertight to 100 meters thanks to a screw-locked crown.Its technical distinctiveness lies in a chronograph minutes counter positioned in the center, like the seconds counter. The self-winding mechanical caliber also has a flyback function, which is specific to aeronautics and allows the chronograph counter to be reset to zero and restarted instantly with a single o

Seiko Solar Watches
See in the image here in their most basic form, watches with Seiko Solar movements have been around since 1977. But now I think Seiko will start focusing on having Seiko Solar watches enter more of the world market (especially in higher-end forms). For most of the world, the predominant light-powered watch is the Citizen Eco-Drive. Citizen was clever about pushing their light powered watches as being more user-friendly than basic quartz watches.One of the main drawbacks of quartz watches is the need to change the batteries from time to time. Movements such as the Seiko Solar and Citizen Eco-Dive have batteries in the movements that are charged by photovoltaic cells in the watch. The lifespan of these movements (assuming they don't break or malfunction) should be close to one's lifespan. This is due to the tiny amount of power the movements consume, and the fact that on a full charge the watches can last months without light.I want to make it clear that these watches derive power from

26405ce or 26400io
Hi folks,Coming over from the Pam and Rolex world, looking for my first AP ROO and torn between the new ceramic 26405ce or the titanium 26400io. I know I want 44mm, so the 26470s aren't in the running. I aware of & OK with the issues that some of the movements have, and I am not concerned about price difference, guessing potential future value, scratching the watch, or re-selling it. I see this as a desk-diving daily watch.While I know the answer to this question is usually The one that sings to you, I'm curious to hear comments or input from the new model ceramic and titanium owners that might highlight something I haven't thought about yet. My one concern IS that I have only tried on the 26400io in person. I haven't seen the 26405ce in person and fear I won't love it when I see it. The ceramic iteration isn't exactly sitting in abundance in the back rooms of the ADs... Happy to currently have this problem :) Thoughts?
