ORIS Watches at The Reno Air Show 2013
ORIS Air Racing III Limited Edition Watch for 2013While I am a huge fan of pilot watches, and certainly of flying as an efficient and economical form of transportation, when ORIS invited me to attend the Reno Air Races in Nevada, I had a small pause due to a terrible accident there a few years ago and also the fact that Breitling has been historically such a huge sponsor of this event. Oris also produced a Reno Air Racing Limited Edition III watch for the 2013 event.However, after looking into the safety measures taken since and most importantly learning a bit about the brand via the Internet, my decision was clear.

The "astrotourbillon" - as they called it - was an escapement mechanism that spun around the periphery of the dial as a running seconds indicator, just like a hand. Personally, I instantly fell in love with the concept when seeing it in action for the first time at SIHH. Last year Cartie

How accurate is 1861 movement?
I bought a brand new 50 anniversary Speedmaster from an AD a week ago. I am testing the accuracy of the watch in the box. The first day it was 10 s/day faster. Second day, it was 2 s/day slower. The third day, it was 2 s/day faster. Now, it is 2 s/day slower again. Will it run consistently after a while?

Omega or Breitling...
Hello all, need a bit of input. I'm looking at the Omega GMT Chrono 3581.30.00 w/ white dial, and trying to choose between that and the Breitling Chronomat Evolution747 Windrider white dial. Both can be seen on Alan Furman's site.I know, buy the one that sings to you. Well, they both sing to me. What are your opinions, which would you choose and why? Thanks in advance. Larry.
