Review: Techne GosHawk (Ref. 411)
Previously on worn&wound we've discussed those watches or watch brands that manage to achieve superb design and quality in a surprisingly / unbelievably affordable price point.? Think Steinhart with their $400, ETA powered pieces, or the $200 Maratac Pilot with a quality automatic and sapphire crystal the size of your head. ?Having spent some time with the $338?Techn�� GosHawk (and previously Sparrowhawk) I am beginning to think that Techn�� deserves a place in that conversation.?The GosHawk pairs unique aviator styling and excellent craftsmanship with a quality Japanese automatic movement and superior components.Case: Bead Blasted Stainless SteelMovement: Miyota 8217 AutomaticDial: BlackLume: C3Lens: Sapphire with AR coatingStrap: “Saddle” Oiled LeatherWater Res.: 50mDimensions: 41.4mm x 48.7mmThickness: 12.5mmLug Width: 20mmCrown: Screw downWarranty: 1 YearCaseThe case of the GosHawk is simple and clean, matching an aesthetic seen throughout the watch.

AP ROC power reserve too low
Hi guys,I'm new here and contemplating buying my first AP and have a question to ask of the experts.I was looking around for an AP ROC 41mm and pretty much zeroed in on this watch. However when looking up the specs on the website I found it has a reserve of only 40 hours. I was quite surprised as I feel this is really low. If alternating this watch over the week I may have to keep winding it every 2nd day. Isn't this too less when most watches in this league boast a much higher reserve. also keeping the chrono on will obviously further reduce the reserve.This has really put me off but I would like your thoughts please.Maybe the Other option to consider is the Offshore then?thanks in advance
Open the hatch, I'm going out...
Whilst I considered my beautiful Speedmaster professional ST145.022 to be as close to a keeper as I'm ever likely to have, of late I've been suffering increasingly lustful feelings brought on by photos of the Ed White 105.003 and sure enough I gave in to temptation when an absolute gem popped up on TZ. It meant letting a friend have his old watch back (well, he had been hinting for some time, if truth be told) but I have no doubt whatsoever that I made the right decision. I like to post a bit of background when I have an incoming, so true to form I'll do so again in this case. It was in June 1965 that Edward H White II - a member of the Gemini 4 spacecraft crew �C opened the hatch and embarked on a 22 minute spacewalk with an Omega Speedmaster mounted on a NASA velcro strap adorning the outside of his spacesuit. The funny thing is, Omega themselves weren't even aware that this amazing piece of horological history was going to be created, and it was only after the read the Life Magaz
