In a way, this watch is a compromise. Sure it's not the 40mm link size that we covet, but it brings a certain retro aesthetic that feels right in this larger, beefier, frame. Inside the watch, behind link the recognizable diver-engraved closed caseback is the Calibre 5 Automatic movement. Operationally, this link watch just does what it's supposed to. The bezel action is smooth, and the clasp on the bracelet is easy to maneuver and perform micro-adjustments on the fly.
The trio of big results got my head spinning. As link Vince Lombardi might say, "What the hell is going on out there?" And was this really a million-dollar Patek?In many ways, it's the story of what's happened to everything, link everywhere: technology link has made the entire world instantly connected to everything. But the specifics are where it gets more interesting.
The "NewDT" (shoutout to Tom Place for that link nickname) comes in a simple box, and link you can pick from an array of rubber or nylon straps. I ordered my example with link the "Black Hyper Rubber" strap, which is a lot like any standard wave-style dive strap. It's fine, totally acceptable for a watch at this price point, but I was always planning to opt for a NATO anyway.
In line with the link previous Reverso Tribute models, these watches feature faceted dauphine hands, colored dials, applied bar indexes, and a small seconds display at 6:00.. The primary difference is the new pink gold, ultra slim case which link has decreased by a full millimeter in thickness from its stainless steel predecessor (8.5mm to 7.56mm). The new updated stainless steel model remains 8.5mm which is still relatively lean considering there's link a whole slide-and-swivel mechanism at work here.
Omega Speedmaster Rising SunThe third stainless piece, the Omega Speedmaster Rising Sun, link recalls the limited link edition platinum Chronometer Moonphase from 2016 link and to Robert-Jan and me, it was the one to have.
Rolex still offers the link GMT-Master in their current collection, though already by the name GMT-Master link II but still with the signature blue-red bezel (only link available with the white gold case nowadays, click here) among the many other variants.
This dark case hosts the self-winding P.9010 caliber which drives the time functions (central hours and minutes, small link seconds link at 9 o’clock and date at 3 link o’clock), beats at a standard frequency of 4 Hz and delivers a power reserve of 3 days.
That watch featured a case made of black ceramic, link bearing the iconic link Top Gun patch on the left side of the dial. The watch itself was quite unique, in that it was a two-register chronograph link with both the hour and minute totalizers in a single sub-dial at 12:00. You might be wondering where you might be able to pick one up. Well, that's the thing. You see, that watch is available exclusively for graduates of the Navy Fighter Weapons School only.
