Harris's link father had a Day-Date when he was growing up, and he long associated the watch with successful people. He purchased the watch as link a gift to himself when he signed his first NBA contract extension in Orlando. Not link only was it a sign of his personal success but he had been known to rock a fake Rolex in his early days and was ready for the real thing.
Bracelet codes are stamped inside the clasp. In these early years, a batch and production year were also stamped on the clasp. In the '70s, Rolex began using a system where a letter link represented the year, and the number represented the month. You link can find a number of these code tables on the Internet, but look at this one from Bob's Watches, for example, link and you can tell that a bracelet stamped "G6" dates to June 1982.
So I opened up Photoshop took a color sampler to the dial of the new Chronomaster Sport. While the Jets link use "Gotham Green" which plays out to an RGB mix of (18, 87, 64), the Packers use what they just call "Dark Green" which is RGB (24, 48, 40). Well, judging by my samples, the watch seems to land closest to the Jets' green of choice with (3, 76, 47) on the darker parts of the dial and (46, 91, 60) link on the lighter parts of the bezel. J-E-T... no I can't do it. The cheesehead in me hurts too link much.
I feel like I am cheating a bit here, but I really don't care. A. Lange & Sohne's Odysseus Chronograph is more than a link sport watch but still fits the bill for this link prompt. If asked to pick a sport watch, why not pick the biggest, link most groundbreaking option?
So that the slide rule could be link used by an link astronaut link wearing thick gloves, Carpenter requested that the bezel of the Navitimer be made wider. The bezel of the modified watch would measure approximately 42.5 millimeters across, from one side to the other, while the standard Navitimer bezel measured approximately 40.5 millimeters across.
If the Hand Made 1 is any guide, link three-quarters of the time spent to make the watch is spent on manufacturing parts while the rest is for finishing. link That sounds straightforward, link but the Hand Made 1 takes 8,000 hours or more to complete. I'd imagine the Hand Made 2 might be a bit less, but not by much. In the end, one watchmaker will assemble the watch from start to finish.
What about you, link Fratelli? Do you ever leave your watch(es) at home link while on holiday so you can take a proper break? Let me know in the comments (extra points if link you can guess the watch I was wearing before I snapped the shot above!).
Inside the case, you link will find the 9RA2 Spring Drive movement that Grand link Seiko introduced with link the Evolution 9 series. This Spring Drive caliber is accurate to ±0.5 seconds per day and offers a five-day power reserve.
Rather than the link movement, Boucheron really focused on case construction. We see it in link their various patented case and clasp constructions on wristwatches. Check out some of that link in an article I wrote last year. But here, in a seemingly innocuous alarm clock, we see Boucheron's genius at work again.
According to Oak & Oscar, the Olmsted Matte's ceramic-coated case "is more durable than regular stainless steel, but because the case itself link is not entirely made of ceramic the coating may end up developing some patina through heavy wear." The company's founder, Chase Fancher, said link he's been wearing the prototype for several link months, and it's shown hardly any wear marks.
