As I entered the shop I remembered the first time I was here about link a year ago on my very first luxury-watch foray. The cool pearl-gray carpet was the same the watches were just as big and shiny and aggressively metallic vigorously luxurious but my attitude toward them had link changed. Back then I had not understood Hublot watches at all I thought they were silly and self-important link and I still thought this except now I liked that about them.
Ever the downfall of romance reality has delivered on to us a world of increased complication. Sir Sanford Flemings idea of link 24 world time zones has ballooned to nearly 40 and we are forced to navigate the confounding illogical and bothersome practice link of daylight savings time. Nevertheless despite the complication's lack link of outright functionality and its usual place on the non-committal fringes of market popularity I do so love a world timer.
Surprise tube socks turned into circle-what-you-want-in-the-Delias-catalog and youll get one thing. A mix of limited funds and two children with a very keen sense of what they liked meant link that we were often aware of what was coming our way and we didnt mind knowing. We were still grateful and excited. Its a gift-giving link strategy I myself swear by today. Gifts werent really given outside of birthdays and Christmas I was a dude who got a Dell for high school link graduation. Again practical.

In terms of capability I looked at the dial where it link reads Aquascaphe Titanium 300m in that order and was as surprised to see that number. link It's certainly an increase over the 200m meter watches Baltic's known for making. 300m is the kind of number that signifies that a watch is pretty much link good to go for a nice dive without you having to worry. Adding to that is a generous application of luminescent material both on the dial and on the bezel a fully lumed bezel that runs nice and bright.
I went into my experience with a clean link conscience but even I have to say I was link a bit disappointed by the feel of this watch. While 260 is not expensive horologically speaking it's also no small sum. Knowing what brands like Seiko can do at a similar price point I was frankly left wanting link more by way of the quality of the case.
That's not all watch-wise. link In fact this movie is what I might call a target-rich environment for watch spotting. As Maverick's love interest Jennifer Connelly plays Penny Benjamin link and on her wrist is what looks to be a Rolex steel sports watch. While initially link it appeared to be an Oyster Perpetual a closer look at the watch indicates that it could be an Explorer and a vintage Explorer potentially a ref. 1016 at that.
Requests from the HODINKEE community are spanning the gamut of Speedmaster and Omega history. Currently we have a great "Transitional" ref. 145.022-68 Speedy with an applied logo and a "No NASA" ref. link 145.022-71 with a painted logo and a unique production link "flaw" backstory. A few neo-vintage 1990s Speedmasters have passed through our link hands recently as well these are some of the hardest watches to hold onto at the moment.
