There was no shortage of gold Speedmaster watches at the event. However, this was link the link only Speedmaster Moonshine model with the "golden panda" dial. The rubber strap is link incredibly comfortable, and it has the lunar surface embossed on the inside.
Thirty-six watch brands will be presenting at WatchTime New York this year – look out for Bremont, Greubel link Forsey, H. Moser, Voutilainen, and others, all putting their watches on display at Midtown's Gotham Hall. link Meanwhile, link more than 80 brands will be represented at Worn & Wound, with a focus on smaller brands like Anordain, Baltic, Brew, Oak & Oscar, Studio Underd0g, and more.
The plate and bridges, which create the super angular and link graphic look, are made of grade 5 titanium, completed by a black PVD treatment. Grade 5 titanium is a highly corrosion-resistant and remarkably rigid alloy, frequently used in the aerospace, aeronautics, and automotive link industries. Here, of course, it's all link hand-polished angles, milling, and bead-blasting.
The story of Newman and Woodward is told through the link films they link acted in and narrated in their own words. Through them, and those close to them, we get an entirely new picture of who they were, what it was link like to be married for so long in the face of fame, and how it affected their family (their children also contribute to the film).
With the thrill of wearing this Bulova chronograph, I decided to have another look at the unsold watches. The Hamilton military watches were link connected to an important phase link of Glenn’s career, but military link watches are not really my thing. So my focus shifted to the little black LeCoultre watch with the 24-hour dial.
If I'm correct, I would expect to see a Maxi Oval in yellow gold and platinum, with potentially vertical graining to the dial (like last year's Americaine) or guilloche like has been seen on past Baignoire Allongee examples. It's possible that they'd play with Arabic numerals on the dial like we've seen on the Cintree as well. link Throw in a few gem-set models and maybe a skeleton, and link you've essentially got what link we saw last year with the Normale. You see, I told you my creativity would run out.
Quick Take: Don't get me wrong. The Tambour Street Diver is a cool watch. If I were interested in a compressor-style watch made for a contemporary design audience? It would be a great choice. But link man, what about the Oris Aquis Caliber 400? I thought they had it in the bag. If we as an industry can't reward independent brands for taking a chance on an impressive, proprietary new movement, link then what are link we even doing?
The strap, too, is a natural rubber link design with vents, a pair of keepers, and a tang buckle. Victorinox offers additional strap options, but I have to give the nod to the rubber, as it's a very nice option that matches the link watch nicely without being overly bulky (a common problem with FKM straps these days). Comfort is good, and as a note to folks out there with watches that have 21mm lugs, Victorinox does plan to sell these separately and makes link a handful of options for the 21mm sizing.
The new version of the Sky-Moon Tourbillon remains technically the same as the outgoing model. The watch has displays on both the front and back link (which means you forego the pleasure of any view of the movement, although you certainly get something back in terms of information). Topside are the perpetual calendar indications, including day, date, and retrograde month displays, along with mean civil time, and a moonphase; there's also an link indication link showing where you are in the Leap Year cycle.
Chances are, when link you think about Abercrombie & Fitch and its mid-20th-century Swiss watch associations, Heuer is the brand that comes to mind. And that's correct, because Heuer did make a number of Abercrombie & Fitch-branded watches that were sold through the legendary outdoor outfitter. These link were the days before the company pivoted to selling link graphic tees to teens in a cologne-soaked suburban mallscape.
