Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Revoluci��n Watches For South America
As we've written about here before, Zenith has released quite a watch-making marvel with their ACADEMY Christophe Colomb Hurricane models. Here is a new limited edition set in honor of iconic individuals responsible for government reform and independence in South America. So say "viva la revolucion" with your best Che impersonation and get ready for a very "non people's budget friendly" collection of new stunning art pieces. With a fusee-chain transmission to apply constant force and, a gyroscopic gimbal setup to theoretically negate the effect of gravity on the movement, it's literally an award-winning watch with a new Latin twist. Given the amount of effort involved in creating these pieces, it's no surprise, then, that we're treated to small-run limited editions in the lineup.Their latest release heads down to Central and South America, with tribute being paid to Sim��n Bol��var (ref. 40.2213.8805/36.C714), Ernesto Che Guevara (ref. 18.2214.8805/36.C713)?and Emiliano Zapata (ref. 34

Japanese Watches Test Marketable Features
One of the wonderful things about Japan is the wealth of gadgets and electronics they produce. There, they have a totally different mentality that the US when it comes to new technology or products. In Japan, it seems as though they release some items to market and watch and see what occurs. Sometimes things catch on, other times they don't, but they realize that markets are incredibly hard to gauge. The US on the other hand will take forever before releasing a product to make sure that marketing, advertising, and consumer opinion all align. And still the result is often unpredictable.Lucky for watch fans, Japan takes this same approach with the watches it makes. Japanese and European watches share very little in common. Other than accepting the quartz movement, there is probably little the Swiss or Germans took from the Japanese, but the same is not true in the reciprocal. Japanese designers and engineers are masters of borrowing styles, ideas, and implementation from other sources, a

Incoming (actually already here)--thanks MB23!
Picked this up Sunday (thanks Mike). Traded in Schumi (which I still love), but can't keep them all. I wish AP would make the rubber strap for this one (it appears the blue strap on the new 42mm Navy would work perfectly due to the darker color blue, but need AP to make it for the 44mms).PS--thanks to Martin and Hamish for the input on this piece!

Need help identifing a vintage Omega
What I do know is that this watch is from the 60's, has a double chronograph (two chrono hands?). Someone told me it might be model 176.0012.Also, if anyone would know its worth - it would really mean a lot to me. (Works perfectly, with the original bracelet, day/date, etc).Thank you!
