SIHH: Something (Really) Big From Panerai: Mare Nostrom 52mm Special Edition
Mare Nostrum is the chronograph that Officine Panerai supplied to the Italian Navy in 1943. Very few prototypes were produced �C almost certainly three in total �C of which first all trace, and then all relative documentation, was lost following the flood that hit Florence in 1966. Panerai’s discovery of one of the prototypes – now part of the collections at the Officine Panerai Museum in Florence – enabled creation of a new Mare Nostrum in a single edition of just 99 examples that reproduce the original almost exactly, with a few improvements. This new edition measures 52mm in diameter and, unlike the original, it offers a sapphire display back. The case is actually tonneau shaped, but looks round due to the wide, flat bezel. The watch is guaranteed watertight to 30 meters, consistent with the original, which was not intended for use under water.Like the original, this new Mare Nostrum uses a hand-wound mechanism: OP XXV caliber, deriving from a Minerva caliber from Pa

YEMA Diving Chronograph Watch Winner
Thank you Ron for doing a video follow-up of the YEMA Diving Chronograph watch Ref. YMHF0202. He is the winner of the YEMA watch giveaway that was given away here in March. Here are some words from him:"I just received the Yema Diver Chronograph this evening and I really enjoy this watch. It is very comfortable for being such a large watch. The Chronograph and the Alarm function easily. I didn't have to spend the evening figuring out the settings, it is very intuitive. The alarm itself is very sonorous, not to jarring and is loud enough to wake you. The bracelet is large and uniform in size. I own a Speedmaster Professional and Rolex GMT and the bracelet is very comfortable for not being tapered. Honestly I was looking for a black or tegimented watch and I am pleased with how this watch looks. It is very easy to read in full sun and the luminous hands and markers are clear at night. The screw down crown and pushers are easy to manipulate. Overall this is a great watch. Again thank you

Ball Fireman Racer Classic Review
Ball Watch Co. has an interesting history that dates back to the late 1800's. Following a train wreck in 1891, Webb C. Ball, then a prominent jeweler in Cleveland, Ohio, was appointed Chief Time Inspector of the railways. He implemented Standard Time for all railways (a relatively new concept) as well as rigorous checks and requirements for railway employees. For more info, check our brand highlight.The current incarnation of the brand manufactures watches in Switzerland, using ETA/Selitta movements and a handful of technologies that set them apart. Their watches are all designed with the maxim "Accuracy Under Adverse Conditions" at their heart, which is noticeable in their testing for shock resistance and anti-magnetism. Perhaps their most well-known feature, however, is their use of tritium tubes for luminescence. While they are one of many that do, they are perhaps the most high-end, with the most varied designs.The current entry point for a Ball watch teeters around $1500, which is

Any car/watch combos youd like to see?
