Pushing the Envelope: 6 Unconventional Chronograph Watches
A growing number of chronographs have push-pieces in unorthodox places. In this WatchTalk article we explore several of them, including a modern-day take on a vintage Omega watch and a Bovet timepiece that can shift from wristwatch to pocketwatch to table clock with the push of a button.Omega has introduced an updated version of its 1969 Bullhead watch, named for its asymmetric case with chrono buttons on top, which bears a (perhaps mild) resemblance to a bull's head. The new Seamaster Bullhead Chronograph looks much like its ancestor, but behind the dial there's something different: a co-axial automatic Caliber 3113, with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism. The new Bullhead trades the original's rounded push-pieces for flat ones. The watch also has an internal rotating bezel, which can be controlled by the second crown, found at 6 o'clock. The bezel has a 24-hour scale on it, with alternating blue and black backgrounds for day and night. The watch is being released in a limited edit

Longines Timetravels at Baselworld 2016 to 1918 and the 60's
This year at Baselworld 2016, Longines issued a surprising pair of new releases, taking their already impressive Heritage line deep into the brand's rich past.Longines Heritage 1918First up is the Longines Heritage 1918. Drawing inspiration from the original Longines "Bracelet-Chronograph" of 1918, the Heritage 1918 is a handsome interpretation of early 20th century design. The case (available in both 41mm and diamond-studded 38mm women's versions) is a simple, circular piece with mirror polish, calling to mind a pocket watch case, with a prominent cushion crown at 3. The wire lugs are almost completely contained, connecting to the case at only one point and giving the watch an almost floating appearance on the wrist.Dial design is pure Art Nouveau-era ornateness, with brightly blued cathedral hands above a lacquer white dial with bold painted numerals. Both the handset and numerals are filled with a deep honey brown varnish, adding to the antique feel, and are framed by a railroad min

AP Forged Carbon Grand Prix 2.0
Thanks to TSW for posting pictures of the Rose Gold Grand Prix with the optional Ceramic Bezel. I immediately set out to have the same treatment done to my Forged Carbon Grand Prix and am very pleased! Similarly, I had the date wheel changed to the black with white font. From the second I picked up this watch two and a half years ago, the forged carbon bezel was my biggest complaint when the edges immediately started rubbing off with just my fingers. Over time, the sharp edges of the bezel started looking more and more worn and rounded. Then the new novelties arrived and their ceramic bezels were scratchproof, shiny yet subtle and just upped the classiness of the watches. Fast forward to now, after a long 9 weeks in Clearwater, my issue is finally resolved and the Grand Prix is how it should have always been. The two parts of the bezel now match perfectly with the finish on the top half of the new ceramic bezel the same as the original bottom ceramic half. The completed bezel is I beli

Third party repair centers in USA?
I need to have the crystal replaced on my Speedmaster. My local watch maker is unable to perform this service for me. Are there any watch repair centers that you recommend other than an Omega service center?
