Nixon Goes Upscale With Its Automatic Chrono LTD Watch
Nixon has long been mostly a fashion brand, with bold, oversized designs and quartz movements. (Also good for presidential candidates!) With the launch of their Elite collection, they are moving into mechanical movements and higher prices:Simply put, these are the highest quality watches we make. Each one is made to the most exacting standards of Swiss watch makers, is custom built and features the Automatic ETA movement that has been the standard of quality timepieces for decades.The Automatic Chrono LTD is the flagship of the collection, a very limited run of 25 watches, in ion-plated steel with a tungsten bezel and crown cap. Tungsten is very unusual, it's most often seen as the nose cone material for missiles, so if nothing else it's a good conversation starter. Tungsten is incredibly tough and should make a good bezel material, remaining flawless for many years. The watch comes with a matching bracelet, though if you look I'm puzzled that they chose straight end links instead of f
Hamilton Pulsomatic Watch For 2010
I think that this will be a pretty well-received watch for 2010, and that a lot of people are going to dig this. Another of the many many "historical rereleases" we have been seeing lately. So, a long time ago Hamilton released the Pulsar. It was the first digital watch. This was in 1970, just a year after Seiko introduced the first quartz watch (that was analog). The Hamilton Pulsar was not an LCD (liquid crystal display) watch, but rather had a red colored LED (light emitting diode). With an LED, power consumption is a bit issue although it is bright when viewable. As such, you needed to manually press a button on the case to display the time on the Pulsar - as it would have drained the battery too quickly otherwise. Despite this, it was an accurate movement and really popular at the time. Pulsar then sort of branched out into a subbrand (which is actually part of Seiko now I think), and you could get similar watches up until almost now. By the way, the first 6 digit LCD watch was re
Navitimer 50th Anniversary
I had been looking for a Navitimer on a bracelet for some time but very few seem to come up for sale on the pre-owned market. Last March I was lucky enough to find a 50th Anniversary Edition A41322 I bought it even thgough it had a few problems including a sticking stem and was in need of a service.I have always liked this version because it has the old Breitling doublewing logo (first used on the Navitimer around 1960) of two planes flying in close formation. The case and bracelet are brushed in contrast to the shiny polished finish usually found on modern Navitimers. The movement is the B.41 an ETA 2892-A2 base with Dubois Depraz chronograph module.Anyway here it is many months after it went to Breitling!
Vintage Seamaster Input needed (pics!)
Hi guys, I've been after a vintage Seamaster for a while now. Any thoughts on this one?Seller says it's from 1966 ad it has the 552 calibre. He's asking 1,200 USD, but I think I can get him down to $1,000.Thanks!
