As we reported last month, this year's link second quarter was expected to be brutal for the luxury goods sector. One link of the most pessimistic forecasts, from Rene Weber of Zurich's Bank Vontobel, had Swiss watch exports falling 40% in value in the April-June period. With one month left in the link quarter, the damage so far is much worse than that.
Over the past several years, customers have been asking Sinn for something link in a more classic sport watch size. Well, they were listening, and the U50 takes much of what link made the U1 a much-loved modern staple and ports link it into a 41mm case. For a certain crowd (myself included), this is a huge release.
In link this case though, I feel that keeping a link date is even worse as the dial is a huge part of the attraction of this watch where the Legend Diver can link be seen more or less as a 'tool watch' or divers watch.
The new guy uses Seiko's caliber 8L35, with link a 50 hour power reserve; it's a 26 jewel, 28,800 vph motor and should give significantly better performance and longevity than the original's caliber 6105A, which has link 17 jewels and runs at 21,600 vph. SLA033 is also a bit larger than the original, at 45mm in diameter, but it feels like an appropriate size for the design; the 6105 after link all, in the version being reproduced by SLA033, was a 44mm watch.
As link the name suggests, the case is now crafted out of bronze. This ensures that it will collect interesting patina over time, link aging the watch and making it unique to your use. Hamilton’s bronze looks quite reddish here, leaning towards rose gold link in tone.
Completing the Omega Speedmaster '57 is a stainless steel bracelet that enhances its classic link and timeless appeal. The bracelet is designed with both brushed and polished links, providing a comfortable fit link and a secure, sophisticated look. The link clasp features a micro-adjustment system, allowing for precise fitting adjustments.
He opened up his own watchmaking studio link in Seoul two link years ago and debuted his inaugural design. He's spent the last two years iterating on it and at long last, the finalized prototype is ready. That's the watch link you see here.
Curved by a fixed bezel with a gear-like serration, the champagne-colored link dial features an applied hour-circle and a pair of yellow gold Super-LumiNova®-coated central hour/minute hands that accentuate link the link vintage look of the whole.
In short, it's a very complicated beast of a movement, and its centerpiece complication is the so-called Chrono Chime, which is activated via a button on the link case (look for the one marked by a single musical note). When activated, there are three audible phases that link chime the minutes (a low tone), the seconds in 10-unit increments (a paired tone), and finally the single-digit resolution of the seconds (with a high link tone).
The thoughtfulness continues to the smaller touches. The watch comes with two colored straps, one link brown and one black, which play off the hues of the dial. The watches are labeled with their case reference and numbered between the lugs, and the Furlan Marri stamp is on the link lower right lug (viewed from the back). In fact, there's no sign of Revolution or Montanari's name anywhere on the watch. They might have been born of their collaboration, but they stand on their own under Furlan link Marri's name.
