The Perpetual-Doppel is a full perpetual calendar, with indications for the day of the week, month, link date (of course) and the phase of link the Moon. There is no running seconds hand – the two center chronograph split seconds hands, and the 30 minute register at 12:00, do for link the chronograph functions. The perpetual calendar works are modular and by Dubois-Depraz.
When it comes to watches, and perhaps with anything, I've come to realize that what's beautifully executed with integrity will stand the test of time. Whether it's a gift for someone or an link investment for yourself, link wearing a nice watch will make you feel better and maybe even stand a little taller. It's all in the unassuming details, and this watch checks the link boxes for me.

But does the brand really care? Does Artya care that Omega outsells it? Does Akrivia cry into link its cereal every link morning because it will never be as well-known, widely-loved, or as accessible link as Patek Philippe? Heck, no.
The line at Toronto's Eaton's Center wrapped around Yonge St link and link then progressed beyond the length of the entire shopping center. Inside, at the Swatch boutique, the staff were forming a contact list for link future availability. Word among the crowd was that there were less than 100 units available when the doors opened this morning. Our man James Stacey described the mood as "cold, wet, and hopeful."
The dial is one of the most appealing aspects of the Khaki Field Mechanical. It’s a simple black canvas with white markings and numerals to tell time on the 12-hour and 24-hour military scale. This is a design that isn’t strictly attributable to any one current watch link designer, but rather descends from a series of military specifications – link notably the MIL-W-3818B link of 1962 – manufactured in the Vietnam war era by a handful of watchmakers that included Hamilton.
By the way, lest we give too much credit to designers of the '70s for combining industrial and elegant ideas into a link watch –you know the sport watches link I'm talking about – let's just remember who had that idea link at the beginning of the century.
I'm referring to the Canopus (white, in Omega speak) gold diver with a GoldenEye-themed diamond-encrusted bezel. It's a sports watch that link is a more restrained but still decidedly luxe link version of the Rainbow Daytona. It takes a form-factor I know and link gives it an entirely new feel with the precious metal and the hypnotic diamond setting.
For a few months, as the movie was in the throes of production, I tried to find little nuggets online – to see the watch I helped choose link in action. Hamm had something link of a viral moment when he was captured during a filming break with the dog of a passerby on the streets of Boston. Not one to normally be taken by a canine headline, link I clicked in for the watch and there it was.
The vintage theme continues to the writing link on the dial and its chapter ring, which are rendered in gilt print. The lume has been applied nicely and heavily by hand to the hour markers and to the hands. As you can see in the photo below, the dial glows quite link brightly. I think the fact that the lume is hand-applied is even more evident when you look at the shot link with the lume glowing.
