The Zenith Elite 6150, A Classic Offering With 100-Hour Power Reserve
Zenith is in it for the long haul here at Baselworld 2015. At least that’s what one can deduce from its latest offering, the Elite 6150. The Elite line is Zenith’s slimmer, dressier offering, and with the 6150’s more-than-100-hour power reserve, it’s almost guaranteed to be an enduring benchmark.The new Elite 6150 comes in a 42 mm stainless-steel case – a size that Zenith plans to make standard for the line. The case is polished throughout with tapered lugs that hopefully make this wear smaller than it is. The main attraction is the silver-toned dial. Not only is it cambered, but it also has feuille hands (even a feuille-shaped second hand) and matching leaf-shaped hour markers. The devil is in the details, and details, good or bad, are more pronounced in simple designs (which is why it’s crucial to get them right.) 1 OF 1 Without a doubt, the new Elite’s pebble architecture has vintage nuances – like any watch that seems t

Watch Spotting: Super Bowl 50 Champion Peyton Manning Wearing A Panerai Radiomir On The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon
Whether it was for the sport, the commercials, the halftime show, or the incredibly awesome nachos (add chorizo – you're welcome), you were likely one of the 111.9 million viewers that tuned into that big football game called Super Bowl 50. This year we saw the Broncos beat the Panthers 24-10, led by quarterback Peyton Manning. 1 OF 1 It's no secret that athletes like watches, just see here and here, so it was no surprise that during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon we at HODINKEE noticed a rather large watch on Peyton's wrist.

The Crown
I was asked (and got a couple PMs on the operation of the Ploprof crown so I thought I'd try a few pics on it's operation.The Ploprof crown has got to be one of the most protective crown devices I've seen on a wristwatch. Everything about the ploprof screams overengineered and crown is no exception. Fully inclosing the winding crown, the only thing I have that compares is Panerai with it's device for protecting the crown, but the ploprof design has got be a bit more so as it raises and lowers as the crown is unscrewed.Seen here it's fully closed position, the crown is protected all around including the top.The Ploprof imploys a three position crown. Unscrewing the crown allows the watch to be wound in the normal way. (Omega states a 60 hour PR fully wound). Note how the top of the crown rises.Position 2 allows one to jump the hour hand in one hour increments forward or backwards without affecting the running of the seconds or minute hand. A nice feature if moving from one timezone to a

I have also decided that I am ready to purchase my first Rolex in 2018. This is something I have wanted all of my life, and I am having some trouble figuring out a few things moving forward.

I decidedly do NOT want or like the look of the oyster Clasp on this configuration, but I don't see the option available anywhere. What are my options for something like this? Is it a call to Rolex for a custom job? Are they already out in the wild? Is it ��coming soon'? Pardon my ignorance, but I am unable to locate this answer and feel as if I may be looking for something that does not ex
