New from Breitling: the Transocean Chronograph Limited Edition
The brand with the winged B is introducing the Transocean Chronograph Limited special series, fitted with the manufacture’s in-house Caliber 01 automatic chronograph movement. The new model pays tribute to a landmark timepiece from the brand’s history, the original Transocean, introduced in 1958. Find more information, including pricing and wallpaper, inside. During the 1950s and 1960s, Breitling helped conquer the skies. The Navitimer, launched in 1952, established itself as a cult watch among pilots and other devotees of aviation. The brand supplied onboard chronographs for the propeller planes and later the jet planes of numerous aircraft manufacturers and airlines, thus becoming the “official supplier to world aviation”.In 1958, building upon its reputation as the manufacturer of instruments for professionals, Breitling launched a new model named Transocean. The ad slogan ran “Men who have faith in the mighty liners of the sky will trust the Transocean
Hands-On: The Montblanc Boheme Moongarden
I have never seen a watch like this before. Sure, it looks like a watch I have seen before, but when you take a close look you realize that this isn't your average calendar watch. This particular watch is called the Moongarden and it is a new addition to the Bohème, Montblanc's collection for women. What makes this watch so different you ask? Well I will get into that in a bit, but first a little background on Montblanc and their women's watches.Montblanc was founded in 1906 in Hamburg, Germany, as a pen-making company. In 1988 it became part of the Richemont group and then later in 1997 it began making watches in Le Locle, Switzerland. However, it wasn’t until 2008 when the brand began creating their own in-house movements with the caliber MB R100. With each year, Montblanc has pushed the boundaries with innovative, well-made designs that are reasonably priced (see the Meisterstück Heritage Perpetual Calendar for $13,000). This continues to be a running t

Seamaster Planet Ocean 38mm or Speed master Co-Axial 38mm
Ok, I've finally narrowed my choices to the Seamaster Planet Ocean 38mm or the new Speedmaster Co-Axial 38mm. There is a lot to like about both watches and I would be happy with either but wanted to get some opinions. I love the idea of a Chronograph and I might be leaning toward the speedmaster, but I also love the dives watch look of the Seamaster and appreciate the fact that I would probably never have to take it off. All opinions would be appreciated. I have tried on the larger speedmaster watches but they are just to large for my very small wrist. Thank you in advance.
Gray market vs AD and future servicing
To all the fellow Paneristi - long time lurker. I just experienced something that not sure has been well covered. For my first Pam 422, I purchased this through an AD, no issues, friendly service but got ripped off on price - I did get two free straps, a T-shirt and a key chain. But I overpaid by a good $2000 USD.Now for my newest addition Pam 590, I decided I would go gray market and save a ton of money. So I did and I thought there were no issues and did save a lot of money.Fast forward, it turns out that my 590 crown has problems in not being able to wind fully. Something is a-miss. I sent it back and it was fixed by the gray market seller - actually really fast. Same issue again, so this time I took it to a connection at the AD who had his expert take a peek as a favor. It turns out the 590 has had original Panerai parts substituted with generic servicing parts. My AD said this will be much more common as the MFGs take all of the movements made in house, limit parts distri
