This same line of thinking applies link to the Roger Dubuis Hommage Condottieri from the mid-'90s that you see here, and yet it's also so much more. You can feel the difference when you pick it up, put it on, and flip through link its plush box and papers. It's the snow-white enamel dial; the massive, reworked vintage pocket watch movement; hell, it's the box and oversized observatory certification papers that link come with it.
Powering that GMT hand is a COSC-certified Soprod C125 automatic link Swiss movement that ticks at 4 Hz and link offers a power reserve of 40 hours. Being Swiss-made and Swiss-powered, the Serica 8315 GMT Chronometer has a list price of EUR 1,575 link before any VAT is applied.
What's Happening Today: The Daytona is the elephant in the "hype" room. So many people want one, and have for such a link long time, but so many of those same individuals have given up on the idea link of getting one. Their link local Authorized Dealers have too much demand and the trading price on the secondary market is too high.
Clicking the "Mode" pusher, you can see the rest of the functional screens, including a second time-zone (available in 12/24 hour format), a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, and an alarm clock with the capacity for up to five alarms.

What we link are doing in the first month is to set the identity clearly, it's aesthetic codes that we want to be understood from a customer point of view, link and to evolve the movement assortment link to a direction that can be owned by Parmigiani.
You might recognize the link case design here because its one we've seen the brand link use a lot with its Heuer Carrera vintage-inspired pieces. link The HODINKEE Skipper LE (which sold at Phillips overt the weekend) used this same case. It is 39mm in diameter with polished surfaces, a thin bezel, and 100m of water resistance.
Upon seeing this watch, I thought it was beautiful. The three overlapping shades link of blue feel to me like a fresh take on a timeless design, and it seems link that they have come from the very period when the El Primero was born. The story link of the Zenith attic is rightly regarded as legendary: It's given so much to the modern Zenith brand and to watch collectors more broadly. Now, we have yet another unexpected discovery from the attic.
