Baselworld 2015 Preview: Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Power-Reserve Chronometer
This year at Baselworld, Clerc is introducing a new addition to its dive-focused Hydroscaph collection. The Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Power-Reserve Chronometer uses a recognizable Hydroscaph case but with a few useful new features. Let’s take a look at what it offers.It’s important for a divers’ watch to balance its set of crucial functions alongside legibility. The wearer needs to be able to take a reading off of the dial (and bezel) at a glance. In terms of design, Clerc sets itself a decent challenge by incorporating the power-reserve indicator and a 24-hour GMT hand onto the display in addition to basic time- and date-telling duties. The power reserve is shown in a small, neat scale between 11 and 1 o’clock, using the dial’s accent color (yellow on the model shown here).The date aperture clips off the large stylized hour numeral at 3 o’clock. Pride of place is given to the 24-hour window, which fills the bottom quarter of the dial. Ample luminous mate

Hamilton Khaki Takeoff Auto Chrono Limited Edition Watch
When it comes to pilot watches, you are generally choosing from one of two categories�C the simple Flieger style, or a more modern tool-style watch with a lot of complications. ?With their latest, Hamilton?has sort of bridged the gap, giving us a modern pilot watch with simplicity in mind.Hamilton traces their aviation roots back to 1919, and this new watch, the Khaki Takeoff Auto Chrono Limited Edition (yeah, that's a mouthful) draws inspiration from their elapsed time clock produced during WWII.The main inspiration drawn from that clock looks to be the color scheme, which is at once easily readable, especially with the last 15 minutes of the ?countdown bezel marked out in yellow hashes (those hashes remind me safety markings on a plane, as well).A perhaps more indirect inspiration is the fact that you can display this watch on your desk, just like a clock. ?How so, you ask? ?Surprisingly enough, the case is able to be detached and placed in its display box, thereby becoming a non-wris

Question on older Constellation
image.jpgAn old friend of mine passed away and he left me his well used Connstellation. I was trying to learn a bit more about it. He told me he bought it when he was in the service in the late Vietnam era, I think that is correct for this model. I wanted to look up the serial number but the number on the movement is unlike others I've seen. Is this a replacement movement or something of that sort? Also the band is missing one of the links closest to the case, I have no idea how that came to be but if I want to wear it I'd need at least two links and it sure would look better if it wasn't missing that link. Am I right in assuming I should just be on the lookout for a complete bracelet assuming I ever decided to wear it?
