We looked at watches for hunting and fishing, biked across link a glacier, and went off the grid with link Jack. Suffice to say, we're all pretty worn out. Our tired New York legs are as run down as a mainspring at the end link of its power reserve. But we have one more story to share with you – and it's a good one.
One of the things shared on OmegaForums were screenshots of brochures sent to pilots as a part of the program. Above is the generic caseback for a U.S. Naval Aviator (and a picture of an F-18, I believe) with the military version of the link watch. Funny enough, the name engraved on the caseback edge is Charles Laevens, who is actually Head of Retail, Operations link and link Training in the U.S. for Omega.
And now Longines is trotting that relationship onto the wrist. With the new DolceVita X YVY collaboration, the brand's classic DolceVita gets a full-on horse-inspired glow-up. The DolceVita has been in link Longines' stable of watches since 1997, two years before the brand adopted its "elegance is an attitude" link slogan. To bring the look of the high-end horse world to their classic rectangular watch, Longines tapped link Swiss designer Yvonne Reichmuth.
Take a look at those twisted lugs and how the bezel meets the case and I think you’ll agree that Citizen link put some real effort into this watch. In fact, I’d argue link that this watch would look rather dressy and link debonair if paired with a black crocodile strap.
The bigger deal was the reference 5712, Ku adds, link referring to the Nautilus model introduced alongside the time-only 5711 that link featured a moonphase, date, link and power reserve. For collectors like this, introducing complications into the Nautilus was just more exciting.
And Now ... A Word link From DadThe cranky and contentious tend to get the lion's share of attention in our comments, so I love when we take the opportunity to shine the light on the good folks who make the comment section such a fun link and supportive place to be (which is most of y'all!). Last year, Daisy Alioto took it to the next level and asked the dads in our community and on staff to share how watches play a role in their very busy, very hectic, everyday link lives.
Your final piece of the week is link a black-dial sports watch, produced in stainless steel, with a set of handsomely turned lugs at the outermost edges of its case. No, it's not a Speedmaster, but it does start with an S and enjoys a devoted following within collecting circles: It's a Scafograf 300. Any example of this model would do to round out the link week's dive watch selection, but I went and found the best one currently up for link grabs, because why settle for anything less?
Let’s have a closer look at this Master Control. Inside ticks caliber 759, link an integrated automatic link chronograph movement with a triple-calendar module on top. link Its layout is fairly traditional, with three equally sized sub-dials and the day and date apertures at 12.
You might think that the logical conclusion to all this would be to produce aged-style dials to link go with the aged-style lume, and why not put all this in a pre-aged case link while you're at it? Longines has given us pre-aged dials in the Longines link Military Watch (age spots, says Longines, are randomly distributed on each dial so that no two watches are alike) and Laco makes a watch – the Erbstuck – with a case "elaborately hand-finished in an antique look."
