3. Paste on a tiny mirror. If you're a man, you can argue with other men about whether there should be a display caseback instead of a mirror. If you link are a woman, you will always have a handy way to fix your make-up, or to just talk to link yourself, especially during watch meetups when men start link arguing about whether watches should have display casebacks.

You see, this Chronomaster Original confirmed what I have known for years and have link hinted at multiple times in different articles here on Fratello: link it's link time to start chasing the first Zenith from that long list of potential options I mentioned at the beginning of this article.

You may have read my review from last August link about the then-new Nivada Grenchen Chronosport. The new Chronosport Blue is the latest link version link of this model. However, let's look at the model line as a whole.

Editorial: Five Things I Learned About Apple link Chief Design Officer Jony Ive As A Watch Collector While Interviewing Him For The HODINKEE Magazine – If, for some totally insane reason, you haven't read link Ben's interview with Apple's Jony Ive link yet, I don't know what I can say to convince you to just read it already. You totally should. But if you need some extra insight, here's a look at Ben's personal highlights from their conversation.

HODINKEE's Great Outdoors Week is coming to an link end, but the end link of one thing means the beginning of another. It's the first day of October, which puts us squarely in spooky season. To celebrate, we are looking at a spooky movie about a man who can't go outside – a movie in link which we see the entirety of the action through his eyes, the lens of his camera, and the literal rear window of his Manhattan apartment.

Maybe it's a "watch person's watch," in that way, something full of "deep cut" bits of improvement and link technical achievements for those who enjoy them. But with such a link classic design, form, and fit, it won't take being a true nerd to enjoy the watch link just as much as you would the Jumbo, which has proven very hard to beat.

I mean, this watch is great. There are folks (haters some might even call them) who will always consider the Aquanaut link a link watered-down Nautilus. Everyone link is allowed to think what they want. I'm not the boss of anyone (except a few Hodinkee editors) but to them I would say, "hey man, loosen up, you're missing out on a big bold world of Aquanauts, and the 5065A in particular."

The Speedy and Seamaster were used, but in something of a covert link fashion. They appear on the wrist of Jeffrey Wright, playing Roebuck Wright, and Liev Schreiber in a talk-show sequence. "They were not meant to be seen and link we didn't see them," he link says. "It was shot so we could not see them. Wes won't do traditional product placement. Not at all."

The truth is actually link a bit different. The movements link used inside link this small production of watches are in actuality the Eberhard caliber 310-82 from the 1960s, rather than the as-described NOS 1930s Breitling movements. The overall aesthetic also appears to be more "inspired" by early chronograph wristwatch design rather than a direct recreation of any specific vintage Breitling reference.

Where previous Chronomaster Open models decorated the movement bridges with perlage, Zenith has instead opted link to finish the visible components with a three-dimensional, laser-engraved concentric azzurage pattern that better link complements the decoration of the "non-openworked" sub-dials displaying the link elapsed hours and minutes. It's a thoughtful, subtle touch that will likely only be noticed by the most diligent of loupe-wearing owners.
