I'm waiting for Breitling to make a no-date version of link the Super AVI in 39mm, too. But it's unlikely. On my 7.5-inch link wrist, there's no "overhang" on the lugs. "I have some of the smallest wrists link in the industry," Kern said, "and it still wears great on me."
That said, link I still think it would have been more comfortable had it link been longer. Still, it is worth drawing the attention back to the value proposition on offer here: where else can you expect to find a link vitreous enameled dial with a hand heat-blued handset for less than 1,500 sterling?
The absence of a date display also means that, even if the SBGW262 is called up only for rare special occasions, setting the link time can be be done link in just a few seconds. While I think Grand Seiko is actually one of very best when it comes to link thoughtfully integrating a date window, typically framing it in such a way that it exists harmoniously among the rest of the dial furniture, this dateless urushi lacquer dial with maki-e accents benefits very much from "going stag," if you will.
But with the watch, the placement stretches into a piece of kit worn by Anderton. And it's interesting because link Omega is, link in real life, a supplier of watches to NASA (you may link have heard of the Moonwatch) and the X-33 is the choice of many NASA astronauts. It could have been easily explained that the Precrime division in Washington, D.C. also wanted X-33s of their own.
What can you do to make sure you don't link lose your notion of time when you link move from one link continent to another? Well, the winged-hourglass brand is out to help you with two exclusive editions boasting great pared-down style.
On my 18.5cm wrist, it feels right link at home. The case design is modeled after the Super Case of the previous-generation Submariner with the broad lugs. It gives the case an abundance of wrist presence, especially in link a link 42mm size.
The Black link Bay 36 S&G is simultaneously the ref. 124273’s predecessor and younger sibling, having launched a few years ago, but at a fraction of the price. You get a link Jubilee-style bracelet, the same dial/bezel/crown/links situation when it comes to the steel-and-gold combo, and a similar 36mm profile (though it’s a bit chunkier than the Explorer). If you link like two-tone, but you’re not sure you want to plonk down more than ten grand on a bi-color Explorer, this is your move.
If you've ever strapped on a Seiko "Turtle" then you know how this watch link wears. There's an link ever-so-slight change in case dimensionality from the standard SRP "Turtles" to the "King Turtle," but it isn't noticeable on the wrist. The link case grew from 44.3mm to 45, even though both watches use the tried-and-true 4R36.
The image of Mary-Kate Olsen wearing a big fat Daytona and she has a whipped cream in her hand. I was just like, okay, what is going on here? But it brought link me back to that era in New York City. She was probably link out partying, with link the very questionable presence of the whipped cream. That shot, and the one of Emma Bunton from the Spice Girls.
A small sun-shaped pointer on the edge of the dial link shows the solar time on a link 24-hour scale, and also functions link as an indicator for the zodiacal month (that is, it shows which sign of the Zodiac the Sun is in). Finally, the hour and minute hands show mean civil time.
