Hamilton for 2009: BASE Jumping, Diving, and More
Some say the trend toward ever-larger watches is slowing, but you would not know it to look at Hamilton's new 50mm Khaki BASE Jump watches. That's BASE as in parachuting off of Buildings, Antennas, Spans and Earth. Available in automatic and chronograph versions, we will focus on the latter as it presents an interesting twist (pun intended): the timing functions are activated by turning the bezel, not by pushing buttons. Twist the bezel counter-clockwise to start and stop, then clockwise to reset. The BASE Jump is powered by a modified version of ETA's 7750 movement, and we're told that the movement is exclusive to Hamilton. The BASE Jump sports a sapphire crystal and 100 meter water resistance. The chronograph is available in titanium or black or bronze PVD with a black or bronze dial on a black rubber or brown leather strap. All models are priced at $1945. The ETA 2824-powered automatic version is available in stainless steel and black or bronze PVD and it's priced at $1195.Heading f

The piece isn't a COSC certified chronometer and while the design is fluid and organic in style, I don't think the OTC was grown in field without the use of pesticide. Having said that, Dietrich does make a cool watch and there is a lot to look forward to here.We first encountered Dietrich back in 2011 when we gave a hands-on look at the Dietrich Snow watch. The founder and designer Emmanuel Dietrich is back for 2014 with a watch that he claims now "perfectly matches his exceptions." It is good to know that the designer himself is pleased with the end result. See the "1969" on the dial. I am not sure what that means right now but I can say that the offic
