Breitling Launches Navitimer Caliber 01 Limited Edition
Breitling’s iconic Navitimer – a favorite among pilots and collectors alike – will be available next spring in a limited edition powered by the brand’s in-house, chronometer-certified chronograph Caliber B01. The series will include 2000 pieces in steel and 200 in 18k red gold, both available on strap or bracelet. Prices appear below, along with an image of the watch you can enlarge to wallpaper size. The Navitimer was launched in the mid-1950s as a watch designed specifically for pilots.

The circular slide-rule bezel allows pilots to make critical calculations such as fuel consumption, distance traveled, and rate of climb/descent. A “Cosmonaut” version of the Navitimer accompanied Scott Carpenter on Aurora 7 in 1962, making it the first wrist chronograph in space.The new limited edition Navitimer Caliber 01 is distinguished by its s

Baselworld 2016: A Quick Look At The Slightly Overlooked Patek Philippe 5204R
The 5204R is a split seconds (rattrapante) chronograph with perpetual calendary; a combination of complications that puts it just one chiming complication away from being a bona fide grand complication watch (traditionally the term "grand complication" meant the combination of a rattrapante chronograph, a minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar). The 5204R is the red-gold version of the original, platinum 5204, which was introduced in 2012; that watch was, in turn, the successor to the reference 5004 perpetual calendar rattrapante, which was introduced in 1996 and which Patek made only in very small numbers every year (the last 50 were made in stainless steel, priced at CHF 270,000, and sold out basically immediately, as we reported here). 1 OF 6 As we've said, the great thing about the 5204R is that it's a reminder of why Patek enjoys the reputation that it does – but why does it do that? I think it has a lot do do with, of course, the classicis

Adding Diamond Bezel to 36mm datejust
Hi Everyone,I have a 36mm datejust (pic attached) and I want to add a diamond bezel on it (after-market) to make it shine a little :)I bought it in April 2017, I was having second thoughts about swapping it for a 41mm but a few friends on this forum stopped me. So I thought of not only keeping it but also adding a diamond bezel for Christmas :)I will get D color and IF clarity. So the best one for almost $2000. Let me know what you guys think. Does the diamond bezel look good on guys??Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
