Raymond Weil Unveils Special Edition Nabucco Inspired by Gibson Guitars
Earlier this year, Swiss watch manufacturer Raymond Weil and Gibson Brands, an American manufacturer of guitars and other instruments, announced their plans to work together to create a special Nabucco timepiece, specifically inspired by the famous self-tuning Gibson SG Standard guitar. Here’s a look at the watch that resulted.The special-edition Raymond Weil Nabucco timepiece has four key design elements that signify it as a Gibson Special Edition. First, the iconic Gibson logo is located just above the Raymond Weil plaque in the center of the dial, replacing the standard applied 12 o’clock hour marker. The second design element is the six grooves that encircle the edges of the black galvanic dial, symbolizing the strings of a Gibson SG Standard guitar. The third is the Gibson logo incorporated into the custom oscillating weight that is visible through the clear sapphire caseback.? Finally, there are the two prominent screws that attach the Raymond Weil logo, which are sim

Breitling Airwolf Raven Chronograph SuperQuartz Watch
The majority of new Breitling watches that are released don't excite me. It is a lot of the same to be honest. Oh look, another chronograph watch in a heavy highly polished metal case, maybe with a rotating bezel or a slide rule. That is basically most Breitling watches - although some are better looking than others. This watch is different because it is of the few that has the cool SuperQuartz calibre 78 movement. This is the movement that the famous and popular Aerospace models had. Yes, it is a quartz movement, but it is what is known as a "themoline" quartz. Meaning it has a temperature sensor that adjusts the vibration frequency of the quartz crystal to adjust to temperatures so that the watch can remain as accurate as possible. This takes the watch from being accurate to within a few seconds a month to being accurate to within a few seconds a year. Like the original Aerospace watches, the Airwolf Raven is a COSC certified Chronometer.Here in the Breitling Airwolf Raven, Breitling

Seiko Deepens Prospex Watch Line With The Marinemaster Kinetic Direct Drive
I am convinced that Seiko loves their dive watches most of all. Not only do their dive watches get to sample each fragment of new technology that they release, but dive styled watches fall at the bottom and top of Seiko's watch line from a price perspective. One result is a dizzying array of diving watches available from Seiko. I'll never be able to wrap my head around their many models, and Seiko has succeeded in keeping my interest on their new releases to see what they come out with next.Relatively new is the new Seiko Prospex Marinemaster with the Kinetic Direct Drive movement model SBDD001. The Kinetic Direct Drive movement fits in between the normal Kinetic movement and the Seiko Spring Drive. See here for the explanation of the various Seiko movements especially the Direct Drive. From the most basic of views, you have a typically styled high-end Seiko dive watch with some special features. Most important is the Kinetic Direct Drive and the corresponding power gauge on the dial.

PO love
Some may remember my thread last month about getting scammed on a 42mm PO. Well, look what the fedex man dropped off today. I just swapped out the bracelet for the strap and I LOVE it! 45mm of pure Planet Ocean
