Aviation wristwatches: "Time Flies" article from AOPA
Thought you guys and gals might like this. It was written by Thomas A. Horne and published in AOPA magazine.Take a look around. It seems like every wrist sports a huge, thick, clunky-looking watch. How did this fashion come about, you may wonder?The answer lies in the intertwining of aviation and watchmaking history. It’s interesting to note that before aviation came along in the early 1900s, there were no wristwatches to speak of. Pocket watches were the rule for men; women wore watches pinned on their blouses, or as a pendant. For those who couldn’t afford to buy a watch, the town clock or church bells served as timekeepers, or a factory whistle, or the family grandfather clock if you were fortunate enough to have one.The first recorded mention of a watch made specifically for pilots came in 1906.

Fake or real ?
I own a Seamaster Professional Chronograph and in a moment of spare time had a look on ebay to see how much they were going for.I'm seeing 2 types of dial : my seamaster which doesn't have a double dash at the top of it (image 1) and others which do (image 2).The image on the omega website doesn't have the double dash : .omegawatches/collecti...-5-mm/22258000I googled around for pictures and have noticed there seems to be a somewhat even split between those which do have a double-dash at the top and those which don't.I even found some dealers online which are selling watches with the double dash e.g..watchgallery.au/Watch...h-Titaniu.aspxJust for interest : are the ones with the double dashes fake ? Or is there an alternative dial style to the UK where I live ?

Tudor Man Of Steel
I was out looking for the Black Rose(BBN ETA). No such luck. But fell instantly for the MOS. Great Steel Bezel with the red triangle at noon. Superman-it is. Nice simple look but with a date and almost looks cleaner like a 2 line text since the wr is in red. Not many of these out there yet-it’s definitely a looker. It’s beautiful. 70 hour power reserve. Bought it with both leather and rivet bracelet. I’m a big fan of the rivet bracelet. I think it’s super cool. Anyway I wanted to introduce my watch! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
