Return of a Classic Explorers’ Watch: Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958
As we hinted on Thursday on WatchTime’s social media, Jaeger-LeCoultre has announced the return of a collectors’ classic from the brand’s archives: a limited-edition chronometer watch called the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958.The original Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic was created in 1958, designated as the “International Geophysical Year” in which 67 nations from the East and West cooperated, during the height of the Cold War, to undertake a series of scientific explorations of the planet’s unexplored regions. The watch was designed to be a companion on these expeditions, many of which took researchers to harsh terrains and climates, so it utilized the era’s most advanced watchmaking technology. Its manual-wound movement, Caliber 478BWSbr, was derived from military watches and included a stop-seconds function for precise timekeeping; a Glucydur balance with shock absorption for stability through extreme temperature changes; and a swan’s nec

15300 Back from Service
As promised, photos of my blue dial 15300...H Serial, post Spa.The impetus for sending to Clearwater was a broken hairspring, but a full-service was required. OUCH! So...I also decided to have the marks (mostly on bezel and near lugs) removed via a refinish. The bracelet was looking a tad worn, but now all is up to snuff.The watch definitely needs more TLC than a Rolex but I do love it.

Verizon's Better Matterscommercial shows items that aren't working and while I know that it isn't exact, I couldn't help but instantly think Omega Seamaster when I saw this ad. Obviously it isn't exact and I'm not insinuating that Seamasters have a fogging problem but if I worked at Omega, I'd be a little upset. https://.youtube/watch?v=Esrckega-6UMaybe they were trying to convey that off brands aren't worth it and that going with Omega you wouldn't have that issue as better matters
