Panerai’s New Luminor Has Antimagnetic Case
Panerai‘s newest Luminor Submersible model debuts a new technological innovation for the brand: a special case construction that ensures a high level of resistance to the magnetic fields, omnipresent in everyday life, that can disrupt or even stop a watch’s movement.The Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 Amagnetic 3 Days Automatic Titanio-47 mm (referred to more succinctly as the PAM00389) has a specially designed internal case made of soft iron, which encloses and isolates the movement, forming a Faraday cage that diverts the flow of magnetic fields. This construction provides an impressive degree of magnetic resistance: 40,000 A/m (amperes per meter), a limit more than eight times greater than the value specified by international standards. The soft iron case is immediately beneath the dial, which is made of the same material. (As many fans of IWC know, that brand also uses a type of soft iron inner-case construction in some of its Pilot watches.)Our watches are exposed to

For 2011 Vacheron Constantin introduces the first high complication in the Patrimony Contemporaine collection, and it is perhaps the most useful of all, the perpetual calendar. This ultra-thin automatic winding perpetual calendar can keep track of all the vagaries of the calendar and require no correction whatsoever until March 1, 2100. Find wallpaper and pricing inside.

Classic baton hands turn above a cambered dial on which the minute track is beaded with gold cabochons. The hour markers are both trapeze and baton-shaped. Beneath the opaline silvered dial, the lunar disc presents a golden moon set against a lapis lazuli sky. The 41 mm-diameter by 8.9 mm thick 18K pink gold case is water-resistant to 30 meters and fitted with a sapphire crystal back revealing the engine inside. The Patrimony Contemporaine Perpetual Calendar is equipped with an alligator leather strap s

Holy Grail Eterna Super KonTiki IDF Watch Available
Watch lovers each have "holy grail" watches. These are prized pieces that are rare and desirable to the watch lover. They are sometimes new watches, old watches, expensive watches, or just plain rare watches. Here is an interesting one from Eterna, in the best condition I have ever seen. This is the Eterna Super KonTiki, which is a diver's watch at heart. Eterna is a laudable brand that just made a reappearance in the US after not being officially sold in the US for some time. I am glad to see them back. Back to the Super KonTiki at issue.In the 1970s, Eterna started to supply the elite forces of the Israeli military with Eterna watches, most of them being this style of Super KonTiki. Most of those special forces were part of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) commando unit. This is the same group that was known for going on covert missions all over the world seeking out WWII war criminals, and performing missions on terrorist enemies (recall the movie Munich). Most of these highly train
