Botta Design UNO 24 Neo Single Hand Watch
Single-handed watches aren't anything new, but from a modern standpoint, probably one of the most important brands to know about in regard to single-hand watches with contemporary designs is Botta Design, by German Klaus Botta. I believe it was 1986 that he first released his modern collection of single-handed "Uno" watches. In fact, according to Botta Design, it was Klaus Botta himself who produced the first ever wrist watch with a single-hand.Botta Design single-handed watches (as is the case with most) come in two forms. All of them have one hand, but some display the time in a 24 hour format, and some in a 12 hour format. The wearing experience between the two is very different. Botta Design Uno watches indicate the time with one hand in a 12 hour format, whereas Botta Design Uno 24 watches indicate the time in a 24 hour format, meaning the hand goes around the dial one time each day.Over the years, Botta Design Uno watches have (and continue to) come in many forms with both automa

Rolex To Create New Shock-Resistant Oyster Watch Case?

The solution is both useful and very simple, and we believe it will show up in Rolex watches soon.Patent application # 20130286798 begins by giving background on the invention as a new means of casing-up movements into watch cases in a way that results in fewer broken parts from a shock and reduces the shock to the movement by 60%. This follows a history of other shock absorption improvements, such as the balance bridge introduced with the 3135 calibre."Various tests, includi

Speedy Broad Arrow.........3551.20.00
Looking to buy one of these pre-loved. Anyone have any comments on this watch? I have done my research and this is the best one for me at the price I am willing to spend. Rolex Daytona would be great but just isn't in the budget. I basically narrowed it down to Tudor and Omega. Omega wins out because for my taste I think the white dial broad arrow is so stunning. Would love to hear thoughts on this watch (plus and minuses) from any owners. Thanks in advance.
