7 Modern Watches Inspired by Historical Pieces
The vintage-look trend that has been so prevalent in the watch world in recent years showed no signs of abating at last year’s Baselworld watch fair. Modern re-editions of historical pieces continue to emerge from some of the most venerable watch brands. Here are seven notable examples of “vintage-inspired” watches that launched in 2015.The Omega Globemaster �� the first watch to receive the brand’s “Master Chronometer” certification �� is technically an all-new model in the Omega portfolio, but it gets its design cues from earlier models: the pie pan dial echoes that of a vintage Omega Constellation from 1952; and the fluted bezel is derived from that of another Constellation model from 1968.

I could purchase my royal oak... Need to save given I don't want to finance a watch... Sad day visiting ad... It's the worst walking out empty handed

Bee-live it
YES!Now, on my next acquisition..FC Diver?or...Ceramic Diver?The more I look at the ceramic diver, the more i see it to be a refined piece of work. Plus it being at 20% cheaper than the FC + exhibition case makes it as desirable as the FC.Hope to see the Ceramic in KL/SG AP Boutique in July when i head back home.Should i venture into the future and hold Ceramic close to my heart? or the FC to complement the bee + its beautiful FC case with limited production units ( rendering it more exclusive ). Decisions.. decisions..Help anyone? haha(Photo Courtesy of Howard aka boa2 from TZ)
