Tutima Launches Three New Models in Three Price Ranges
At Baselworld 2011, Tutima launched three new models: the Grand Classic Black Chronograph PR, the Grand Classic Reserve, and the Pacific Black. Each measuring 43mm in diameter, these new models offer three variations on Tutima’s classic good looks. Find wallpaper, launch dates and pricing inside. The Grand Classic Black Chronograph PR sits at the top of the new range of introductions. The stainless steel case and bracelet undergo a special hardening process that Tutima claims render it as resistant to scratches as sapphire crystal. It then receives a coating of scratch-resistant black PVD. The dial is highly legible, and the power reserve is nicely integrated and among the most useful of complications. Under the dial a Swiss self-winding Valjoux 7750 movement produces the energy. The Grand Classic Black Chronograph PR is available with a striking red dial, or more traditional black. Look for it to arrive in stores in August/September with an MSPR in the $4500 ballpark.The new Gra

Omega De Ville X2 Big Date Watch Available On James List
This sure isn't an Omega watch you see every day. In fact, I am not even sure how widely watches like this square cased De Ville X2 are sold in America. This piece is only a few years old and comes in a few versions - I think it is still sold in retail stores. This model is the Omega De Ville X2 Big Date. Seen here in steel, it also comes in in gold as well. I am a bit fascinated by the design as it is highly unusual compared to what people in the US think of when they consider Omega watches.Familiar with the "California dial" that mixes Roman numerals on one side of the dial and Arabic ones on another? Well this watch plays with that concept in another watch. The "X2" for sample is Omega's way of writing "12." Just like "V1" is "6" (as opposed to VI). The watch design is actually quite simple aside from these whimsical elements and some "body cladding." Take for instance the triangular extremities on the lugs and the applied metal hour markers. Without these and a few Omega logos, thi

Ceramic Bi-Color War on the Horizon?
Unveiled at Baselworld this year, Omega showed their first single piece, bicolored ceramic bezel outfitted to the new GMT Seamaster master chronometer. Dubbed Biceramic, Omega chose a rather mundane color combo of black and white.Are they only the second company behind Rolex to achieve this technology?Will this spur more interesting color combos from both companies?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Omega Military Watches 1960s
I have sourced a 1960 Omega Military Watch Could any of you give mesome information about this watch. I spotted it in a revolving showcase ,all I could make out was that it was S.S. white dial, Arabic numerals,seconds at 6 o'clock. It reminded me of a photo I once saw of a1940 Omega Mil. Watch. The dial has the Broad Arrow Symbol. I forgot to mention, I saw it in another city and I had to catch a train. If any of you can help , I would be very grateful. I am hoping that some of you are real experts and enjoy a challenge. Thank you in advance.

BLNR owners, would you....?
With the new teaser today, many are speculating a new Coke. For my fellow BLNR owners, if a Coke was released, would you:Unload your BLNR for a Coke?Keep your BLNR and add the Coke?Keep your BLNR and not add the Coke?Personally, I am not a fan of red on watches. The exception is on the 16710 as the blue and red go well together, but that is it. Actually, I'm not much of a fan of red generally speaking. I am content with the BLNR as I favor blue in just about anything. I see all the BLNR will drop to $6000 posts but I disagree. I think more of the masses prefer blue to red in general as well.As exciting as a new coke may be, I will be hanging onto my BLNR. Edit: I'm not hating on the potential new coke as a BLNR owner. I just don't like red much. I know many WIS will be happy if this comes true, and I'll be happy for them getting what they want.
