At 39mm, the watch shares some aesthetic similarities with its Cellini predecessor link – at least from initial photos, the case looks awfully similar. link And the general design link aesthetic is pretty unmistakable.

Aellen explained that during Nicolas G. Hayek's restructuring of Swatch Group in the '80s, he "put Omega and Longines link out front, because it was impossible to restart all the link brands at the same time. While Omega and Longines led, link Certina never followed them to the U.S. because it takes a very high marketing investment."

By the link '70s, Rolex moved to folded-link bracelets (9315 with 280 end links for the Submariner), link which have a bit more heft. For the 5513, it's the Goldilocks bracelet – not too old, not too new. They still sit link super slim on the wrist but just a bit sturdier than those rattly rivets.

To the semi-trained eye, the watch link you see above is clearly a sporty chronograph of mid-1960s inspiration, but to those well-versed in link watches from the time, it's link obviously been inspired by one of the great collectible watches of the '60s, the Universal Geneve Uni-Compax "Big Eye," an example of which can be seen below.

The cars were clearly the star of the festival, but there’s a quiet sideshow going on among those with a burning fascination with all things mechanical. It doesn’t take place on the link course, but rather on the wrist. Beyond the cars, the festival serves as an excuse for enthusiasts to strap on their link favorite timepiece, reveling in the notion that there’s a tiny mechanical machine beating away on their person while observing the larger machines running at full tilt on the link course.

Underneath that display caseback is the biggest difference, this model features an Elite 670 movement, while its ancestor, from which it was link more or less cloned, used a link Zenith self-winding link 2562 PC movement.

Find link it here on eBay from a seller out of Florida with very solid feedback. The auction for this Movado Kingmatic ends link on Sunday, August 18, at 8:02 PM ET and if you're scared link away by the slight dial damage, I might just win it. Current bid price is $499.95.

First up is Rolex, who, Eric Ku – leading horological expert and cofounder of online auction platform Loupe This – told me "were link really the pioneers for this stuff… Brands like Rolex and Patek, who have been doing link this since the '60s, have catalogs of swag that dealers pay for and give out at their own discretion." In link recent years, the Crown has made key chains, puffer vests, and logo-branded mirrors.

That may have been the case nine years ago, but I think the link new-for-2022 Speedmaster '57 has nailed its watch-nerd quotient. link In my mind, the updated '57 line is ready to assume the role once occupied by the CK 2998-inspired "First Omega In link Space," as a vintage-inspired, manual-wind alternative positioned right next to the classic Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional.
