Close-Up: Rolex Yacht-Master in Rolesium (With Video)
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master, a sailors’ watch introduced in 1992, underwent a major facelift recently in both its design and technology. In 2012, Rolex released a version with an Oyster case made of its patented alloy Rolesium, and a cool, blue dial with brushed sunray pattern.Rolesium, a material developed by Rolex and used here in the Yacht-Master’s 40-mm diameter Oyster case, is an alloy of 904L stainless steel and platinum. The bezel, which rotates in both directions and now has a notched ring with 120 gradations, is made entirely of 950 platinum. It has a smooth, sand-blasted finish, except for the raised numerals and indices, which are polished.

Are You A Time Lord? OWC Watch Honors Doctor Who
OWC MS-1001 for Doctor WhoNow here is a watch that requires an introduction - being from Australia and in honor of Doctor Who. We've mentioned OWC watches before, but this is a new twist on dive watch designs.OWC, formerly known as Orange Watch Company, is a small operation in, you guessed it, Orange, Australia. Founder Dan Fock is one of the most detail-oriented and perfectionist people I know, so it's no surprise that customers are willing to wait a year or more for one of his watches. The watch shown above is a new model, the MS-1001, with a theme near and dear to Dan:My homage to the 50th year of Doctor Who. Not only was the Doctor 50 on the 23rd of November, I was 55. So this is also a present to myselfGallifrey is a planet in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who and is the home world of the Doctor and the Time Lords.

Introducing: The Patek Philippe 5327, A Brand New Perpetual Calendar Model In A New 39mm Case (Live Pics)
This year, Patek put the focus on higher end complications, not the least of which is the perpetual calendar. We have an entirely new reference in the 5327, which is very much the same in the grand scheme of things, thought very much different in the world of Patek Philippe. The watch replaces the 5140, though the 5140 will remain in production in a black tuxedo dial and a new grey dial, both in platinum for a limited time. The 5327's story is all about the case and dial, and in some way offers a lot of what modern Patek buyers might want �C a larger case and Breguet dial. 1 OF 3 The 5327 shares a similar case design to the Calatrava 5227. First, one must understand that the 5327 uses the very same movement that has existed with Patek perpetuals for 35+ years �C caliber 240Q. So that means, technically, you'll have roughly the same movement as you'll see in the 5140 and the 3940 before that. With that comes a great micro-rotor, self-winding caliber that is quite thin,
