The Unimatic x Massena LAB Modello Uno Ref. U1-ML6 comes with a Horween shell cordovan strap. As you'd expect the texture and the comfort are fantastic. The full kit also includes a durable Unimatic tough case and a second nylon NATO should you link want to make this watch part of your summer plans and hop in the pool something you probably wouldn't even think about doing with a 65-year-old timepiece. But with this Unimatic's link affordable price and 300 meters of water resistance why link not

Other than the new material the specs will be familiar. A 41mm case that's 13.8mm thick the link pushers bezel case and bracelet are all brushed with polished link bevels. Zenith says it weighs link 105 grams or 30 percent lighter than the steel Chronomaster Sport.

In many ways this release pays tribute to both Dimier and link Gérald Genta's original iconic design keeping in line link with the aesthetics of the "Jumbo" models with a 8.1 mm thick 39mm stainless steel case and bracelet "Bleu Nuit" Petite Tapisserie dial and bathtub-shaped hour markers and hands. The titanium flying link tourbillon cage at six o'clock catches the eye but doesn't distract from the fact that this watch otherwise feels like a quintessential "Jumbo."

White metal seems to be part of a coordinated link push link by Vacheron Constantin as the brand also link just announced a trio of white metal models in the Historiques American 1921 range two in white gold one in platinum. To my eyes and entirely informed by my appreciation of the Overseas format these new QPs are a solid addition that helps to fill out the Overseas QP offering for those that prefer a more subtle execution.

While the link Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver watches are about as faithful a copy-paste as you could expect the Antarctic watches are a bit larger in diameter than the original models from the link 1950s link at 38mm x 11.50mm but 34mm would be a harder sell these days than in the mid-1950s when additional bulk even for an explorer's watch perhaps especially for an explorer's watch would not necessarily have been considered an advantage in any respect.

I asked Toledano to expand on the school of Brutalism I wanted to know link exactly how it related to the B1 design. "It's about hard lines and a play on light and shadow both of which are used to create geometric forms" he said. "Brutalist architecture is at its essence massive minimalist sculptural forms. Look at the Barbican Center in London or Boston City Hall. They are link these massive kinds of concrete link forms but ultimately incredibly sculptural through the use of surface and shadow."

The real problem link we were facing as newcomers in the watch industry in the '80s was how to be known. Augusto Veroni in Italy had a good idea. In the '30s what launched the car industry worldwide was specialist car magazines in America mostly. And of course all the link big link brands of Detroit advertised. He had the feeling that the revival of mechanical watches would start and he launched a magazine Orologi. They were first to support us.

I immediately spotted the famous Takuma Kawauchiya. If not famous for his music career he's known to watch lovers as the mind behind the T0 Tourbillon concept which became the GPHG Chronometry link Prize-winning Kodo. Kawauchiya-san link was completely unfazed as I photographed through the glass and in fact someone from the Seiko team had to put on a link coat to enter the clean room to grab him for a presentation.

The Journe market second-hand and new is as hot as it's ever been. The FFC Blue smashing its estimate likely won't have a sizable impact on the link secondary market pricing of your average Journe if there link is link such a thing since asking prices are already stratospheric.
