Omega Speedmaster '57 'Retro Dial' Watch For 2015
It happened only two years ago, at Baselworld 2013, that Omega lunched the Omega Speedmaster '57 Co-Axial, a tribute to the original, pre-Moon-Watch Speedmaster. Now, for 2015, we see a slightly updated version that brings the Omega Speedmaster '57 tribute closer than it has ever been to the Daddy of all Speedmasters. Without further ado, let's see?just how close you can really get in the new millennium to owning the real deal from the mid 20th century.The answer, in short, is: very. We covered the 2013 "re-release" here, and while that appeared to have ticked most of the boxes, Omega managed to inch even closer to the original this time around.?First thing's first, we created the collage that you see above, comparing the 2015 and the 1957 versions.?We must note the obvious: the original's tri-compax sub-dial layout has been replaced with a bi-compax design for the 21st century version, thanks to the 9300 in-house movement �C visible through the sapphire caseback �C that packs the chrono

Hands-On: With The Girard-Perregaux Chamber Of Wonders Collection
Artistic work when it comes to mechanical watches isn’t for everyone. But it is certainly a noteworthy craft if you consider the amount of effort and skill that is required to make artistic timepieces finer, more rare and unique. Such is the case with dial work, and Girard-Perregaux offered three solid choices in artistic craft with its Chamber of Wonders Collection this year. This should come as no surprise from Perregaux, whose enamel works we introduced last year.The collection is composed of three pieces, each in similar 40 mm fine polished pink-gold cases. The lugs have a steep curve to them and hug the wrist very well. The dials are finely crafted works of pigmented fine stone. 1 OF 5 The first is dubbed the Pearl of Wonders. It is a reproduction of a map drawn in the first half of the 15th century by historian Ibn al-Wardi, and it is inspired by Ptolemaic astronomy. Bodies of water and important geography centered on the Arabian Peninsula are sketched out in

New Basel release Navitimer 1461 Limited Edition
I took these shots for a friend who picked up this watch but he's already decided to sell it. It's a great watch and wears very comfortable. It looks great on the croc strap, but I think it would look even better on the bracelet. Thoughts?

Leatherstrap for small wrist?
As some of you know I am planning on getting a Patek. It seems that it's going to be a 5712G on a leatherstrap. (Not quite decided yet) I have relatively small wrists and am worrying that the clasp will not be centered becaurse the strap only can be shortened at one side.Is this corret?Will Patek deliver other sizes without extra cost or does a shorter strap have to be speial ordered?Thanks!
