The S302 comes with either a striped NATO or the tan leather strap shown here. I dont care for link the look of the striped NATO at all more of a grey man myself but the tan strap looks great. Like link all of Bremonts padded leather straps you have to be prepared to break them in. From the factory they are stiff and will pinch the outer sides of your wrist. But once broken in they make for a comfortable and suitable match for the general sprezzatura of the link Bremont vibe.

I like to think that this link choice of watch is a subtle nod to that classic film. The Speedmaster link is as much an iconic timepiece in horological lore as the Submariner. Crowe's character strikes me as a one-watch guy in addition to being a one-car one-shirt one-pair-of-pants link guy and the Speedmaster is the ideal one-watch watch.
Still most link of the tweaks to the new Française seem like small improvements that will be appreciated on wrist more readily than in pictures so I'm excited to get hands-on with the link new Française soon. Stay tuned for a Hands-On of the new Tank Française in link the coming weeks.
That's where the "dancer" comes in. link When I first read about it in an early press release the concept wasn't very clear to me. link It was obvious from pictures that the center of the rotor is carved out which link I believed reduced mass and potential rotational energy. The "dancer" as I imagined was a small weight suspended on a spring bouncing up and down and somehow imparting energy. But that's not the case. A demonstration from a scaled-up 3D-printed model made it much more clear.
He started his career on the Vickers VC10 transferred to the link 747 in link '74 then a stint on the BAC 1-11 and then eventually the link Concorde in '94. Since he was part of the Concorde's crew he was able to buy the Breitling.
Last week I got to meet Seiko Watch Corporation president Mr Akio Naito and attend the opening of the brand's first US flagship boutique. This gave me link a little more context as to how the brand plans to continue to link operate in the US and appeal to the younger demographic link that Mr. Naito highlights as actually accounting for the bulk of their Stateside sales.
Urwerk isn't for everyone and I think that is a great thing. I feel like the world around us and the link watch world especially can look a little stale at times. We need brands like Urwerk to push the boundaries of expression through their medium which in this case is my favorite hobby watches. I guess I was a semi-traditionalist before but after spending time with the link UR-112 it's link really changed how I feel about these avant-garde timepieces. I definitely dig 'em.
I must have been too young to link notice the watch when I first saw the movie but I have to say it further confirms that flight link instructor Charlotte Blackwood was a lady boss. I hope the new female lead in the upcoming Top Gun Maverick is as link cool as she was.
There has been link no ultimate count or official documentation listing made link of her various timepieces since link 1987 but some have managed to grab their fair share of spotlight over the years. Here are a handful to remember.
