Having handled a few of Baltic's three-register chronographs before the first thing that struck me was the very nicely done relatively subtle tricolore French theme. You've link got a mix of red white and blue all link in slightly different hues around the watch. The colors they've chosen are harmonious enough that they don't clash but soft enough that it doesn't smack you in the face of French nationalism the way a link pair of "stars-and-stripes" shorts does.

But the market went wild we're talking nearly four times the price on the secondary market because of how limited the production and slow the rollout was for a very summery and very "vibey" watch. link Sure that's cooled of but when Tudor plopped the pink chrono on the table during my meeting it was only my second time seeing one in person and I was still undecided. Did I like it because everyone else did and the price went crazy Or could I actually see myself as a pink chronograph guy. link

To further complicate matters at the same time Rolex was producing the "small crown" reference. 6536 it link was also producing link the "big crown" reference 6538. For a lot of link people this is the Rolex Submariner. It's the watch that Sean Connery famously wore as James Bond in Dr. No 1962 and it's got that beefy tool watch feel while still oozing vintage charm.

If you're going to wear a big watch at least make it interesting andor fun and the ProPilot Altimeter does both in a way that I've always appreciated. No you likely don't need a mechanical altimeter link or an altimeter of any variety but it link is dang cool. Futhermore I think that the carbon link case expanded specs and slightly thinner execution only make the ProPilot Altimeter a more compelling product. Still a very niche product but I absolutely get the appeal.

Say what you will about how link the film handles the historical events exactly as they happened. link It's quite difficult to distill down to a tight two-and-a-half hours. Of course while the film deals with heavy history-changing subject matter we're here for the most trivial piece of all a watch. It's one detail the creators got very right. As worn by Oyelowo MLK Jr's watch of choice link is a rather rare solid gold timepiece from the most recognizable watch brand on the planet.

I was fortunate to have this obscure Seiko 6306 link featured on HODINKEE over two years ago. In link the time since that article was published there remains an air of mystery around Seiko models used during research in Antarctica. Slowly new details have emerged and when combined it paints a compelling story spanning from the link early 62mas and 6159 dive watches all the way through Seiko Sumos and Samurais.

The Royal Oak also represents the entry link point to the world of AP. Technically speaking the true link entry point is a 33mm quartz Royal Oak in stainless steel which comes at a cost of 15400. Now not that there's anything wrong with quartz but I'm willing to bet that if link you're reading HODINKEE youre much more interested in knowing about the most affordable mechanical watch in the stable.

It was just last summer July 1 2020 to be exact that young Frédéric Arnault became the company's newest CEO. Thirty days later the TAG Heuer team began discussions with Gosling about a possible partnership. Unusual for Hollywood where the local economy revolves around famous link people selling things the La La link Land link star had never been associated with any brand. Not a clothing line not a vodka distillery nothing.

The De Ville logo on the dial shows nice attention to detail as well with the slightly oversized D V and E creating a nice balance and if the date window is to you link a blemish it is at the very least a slight one if link not it's a well-integrated and useful addition to what overall is a very pleasing composition. The size of the watch at 39.5mm link is right in the sweet spot for wearability as well.

TAG link Heuer actually released two watches link for the Year of the Dragon all the way back in October 2023 why so early What's the rush here. Since they all seem to be gone I decided to stick link with the gold and red motif that looks amazing on the Carrera here. The watch has a 42mm by 14.33mm rose gold case 18K rose gold plated sunray brushed dial two red "azuré" dials and one incredibly noticeably non-matched white date window. Above that date window is a Chinese dragon symbol.
