 Just released by Panerai is the new Luminor Marina Carbotech Blu Notte PAM 1664, a 500-piece limited edition exclusively for the brand’s e-commerce store. The resilient yet super lightweight watch is done in a 44mm Carbotech case, which is the carbon fiber composite that Panerai has used for the past few years. This is the first time Panerai has matched a Carbotech case with a blue dial, and the result is a handsome and well-proportioned watch that I’d absolutely wear on a regular basis. Carbotech is a carbon fiber composite used by Panerai for about six years now, favored for its lightweight durability and almost Damascus steel-like pattern created by the material’s layering process. The process of creating Carbotech involves layering sheets of carbon fiber that are held together with a polymer resin and then heated and pressurized. Panerai was smart to realize that not everyone in the watch community is a fan of the beige “fauxtina,” and last year’s Luminor Marina PAM 1313 was a...

 With the belief that “…sport has the power to change the world,” every year for the last fifteen years, IWC has partnered with the Laureus Sport for Good foundation to support hundreds of children’s sports programs around the world, which aim to help end violence, discrimination, and disadvantage for young people. To help continue to drive awareness to the foundation, IWC has launched its fifteenth special limited edition Laureus watch — and this year, we get a 41mm Pilot in blue ceramic, which also happens to be a material first for the Schaffhausen maker.

 For many enthusiasts, the IWC name is virtually synonymous with its bold and functional line of pilot’s watches. The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph in particular has come to largely define the look and feel of modern military pilot’s watches, and the brand’s close relationship with the U.S. Navy is proof of just how influential its design has become. In addition to its famous collaboration with the U.S. Navy’s TOP GUN fighter pilot training academy, since 2018 IWC has worked with over a dozen U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps squadrons to create exclusive limited-edition models available exclusively to members of those squadrons. For its latest iteration on this cornerstone design, IWC is making three of these exclusive designs available to civilian buyers for the first time replicas de relojes . The new limited-edition IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Squadrons Collection, including the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Royal Maces,” the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Toph...

 In our modern world, sustainability and environmental consciousness have made their way into nearly every industry on earth, and while the luxury watch business may be a somewhat late adopter in this field it is far from uninvolved in pushing towards a cleaner and more efficient future. Most of these efforts in the watch industry take the form of partnerships with environmental groups and charities, but as time goes on brands have begun to work more directly to address their own products’ impact on the environment. Breitling is the latest brand to join this charge, announcing that it will offer a new packaging concept across its entire product line made entirely of recycled materials. The new Breitling box is constructed entirely of upcycled PET plastic reclaimed from plastic bottles and can be completely recycled again if no longer needed. The new foldable Breitling box will be standard equipment with all new Breitling purchases, and takes a dramatically different visual tack fro...

 Effervescent. It’s the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, in a word. It’s the twist and the crack, the soft hissing of bubbles, and the satisfying clear liquid cascading from a tall frosted bottle into a cold rocks glass. It’s the soft clinking of ice cubes at water’s edge. And with its colorful array of offerings, its bubbly personality, and its sharply rendered dial, it’s also arguably the platonic ideal of the summer watch — one for overnight backpacking trips, beaches & backyard cookouts, but also weddings, client meetings, and date nights. It’s also likely why just a few days shy of summer’s official starting line, Omega replica uhren is effectively doubling down on its most versatile collection with nearly twenty (!!) new Aqua Terra references equipped with the Bienne maker’s newest Small Seconds Master Chronometer calibre. Quite honestly, it’s a huge line extension, and one that I personally don’t fully understand — it feels a bit like the Omega from five or years ago, a bran...

 While Cartier has rightly earned its place as an icon in watchmaking, its contributions to haute horlogerie are often far less discussed than designs like the Tank or Santos. While they may fly relatively under the radar, these offerings rarely lack for spectacle, and the brand’s first haute horlogerie collection of 2021 is no exception. This exclusive box set trio of designs all aim to push the aesthetic limits of skeletonization, inspired by both the brand’s own design traditions and the dramatic look of floating mystery dials. The new limited edition Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Precious Icons Set includes the Rotonde de Cartier Astromystérieux, Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon, and the Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton Mysterious Double Tourbillon, all three of which push the intricate and complex tourbillon escapement to new visual frontiers.

 If you’ve ever met Nick or Giles English, you know the brothers are always smiling. And why wouldn’t they be? After all, the founding pair behind British watchmaker Bremont has finally moved into their brand’s expansive new manufactory after a yearlong delay due to the global pandemic, a facility that is already starting to yield the fruits of a whole lot of labor. Among those fruits is the 40mm Supermarine S302 GMT dive watch — one of the very first Bremont references to come to life in this ambitious new space. Before we get too deep in the weeds around specific impressions of the watch itself, it’s worth taking a moment to acknowledge the Wing — Bremont’s new manufactory in Henley at Thames and a central character in the brand’s long-running goal of bringing the United Kingdom back to the forefront of the watchmaking industry. It’s been quite a triumph, though — after five years in development (not counting the pandemic delay), the sweeping vision of the Wing certainly does see...

 When I first explained my idea of doing an article about dive watches in the desert, a common initial response from the aBlogtoWatch editorial team was, “Where are you going to go diving in the desert?” Chuckling, I responded that actual diving wasn’t the point. Rather, it would be a discussion into how effective the world’s favorite sport watches (diving-style) are at being useful wrist tools in extremely warm weather. Finally, the opportunity for a nice drive into the heart of our warming planet presented itself, and I made my way to the famed Red Rock Canyon National Park outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Armed with three popular diver’s-style timepieces with me, here is what I learned about dive watches in the desert. First, a few important assumptions and notions so that the reader can understand why taking dive watches into the desert is even an interesting intellectual exercise (aside from being fun), to begin with. In short, there really aren’t many tool watches with a hot-wea...

 The process of gem-encrusting or “icing out” a timepiece has moved from the aftermarket to regular production for many brands over the past several years, but despite its growing popularity, the jewel-studded look has remained firmly at the upper end of the market. The reasons for this are obvious, with the sheer value of the gemstones involved coupled with the delicate and labor-intensive process of setting each stone into a watch’s case, bracelet, or dial leading to a usually hefty price tag. This expectation of cost is what makes Timex’s latest pair of limited edition releases so striking. Developed in conjunction with fashion brand Judith Lieber Couture, these two new models manage to bring the color and flash of rainbow gem-set timepieces down to the entry-level market. Bright, playful, and defiantly dedicated to fun above all else, the limited edition Timex x Judith Lieber Q Timex and Timex x Judith Lieber T80 are openly not for everyone’s tastes but offer some of the boldes...

 The history of Porsche is brimming with automotive gems. One of the most evocative is the 356 Speedster. The 356 is special because it is the first Porsche-branded car. And the Speedster is even more special because it is the convertible version of the 356. It helps that it is also achingly gorgeous. One particular highlight of the 356 Speedster is its tachometer, which has distinct fonts in a characteristic shade of green. And it is this very tachometer that has inspired Reservoir’s newest Kanister collection watches. Readers who have seen Reservoir’s earlier watches will find the Kanister familiar — the retrograde minutes hand, jumping hours indicator, and power reserve indicator are all there. Essentially, the basic ingredients are the same but the execution is new, and that gives us a watch that also looks fresh and different. In the case of the Kanister, what we have is a 41.5mm Grade 5 titanium case that has been satin-finished. It has a screw-down crown and a water-resistan...

 Hublot is expanding its MP-09 “Manufacture Piece” collection with four new colourful editions, each limited to eight pieces. Combining a totally unique case shape with a singular representation of the tourbillon, the MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis 5 Days Power Reserve 3D Carbon represents one of Hublot's technological peak. After the three initial versions in titanium, King Gold and black 3D carbon, the latest interpretations of the MP-09 come in a material called "3D Carbon". Machining a case made from a multi-layer composite, such as carbon, is way more complex than machining a case made from homogeneous metals like titanium or gold. For this model, Hublot uses 3D Carbon, replica uhren kaufen a high-tech material that Hublot is able to sculpt to form curves, angles and inclined planes without affecting water resistance and durability.  Carbon also guarantees significant weight saving making the new MP-09 extremely light on the wrist despite its pretty imposing size (49 mm i...

 Introduced by Meistersinger last April, the Bell Hora was received enthusiastically as it made a sophisticated complication like the “Sonnerie au passage” accessible to many. In fact, it was launched with the slogan: "the hour strikes for everyone". Exactly on the hour, the watch produces a friendly chime, fake uhren alerting the wearer that a new hour has just begun without having to look at the dial.  The pusher at 2 o'clock makes it possible to disable the chime so that no sound will be produced when the wearer asks for silence. A black marking shows at a glance whether the watch is going to chime on the hour or remain silent. Just like the majority of models from the the German watchmaker, the Bell Hora indicates the time using just one hand: the needle-sharp hand sweeps over the 12 hours divided by 144 markers, each representing 5 minutes.  Designed in the style of old pocket watches, the new Bell Hora Anniversary Edition comes in a 43 mm stainless steel case that ...

 Limited to just 25 pieces, the latest PanoInverse rendition from Glashütte Original has been inspired to an architectural landmark of the city of Dresden, the Academy of Fine Arts and its distinctive dome, popularly known as the “lemon press” and dominating the skyline of the Saxon capital.

To achieve this goal, replica uhren numerous components that are normally visible only through the sapphire crystal case back were mounted in inverse order.

 Louis Erard keeps demonstrating remarkable skills in the integration of artistic craftworks in its timepieces.  We recently wrote about their models with enamel and guilloché dials. This time, the focus is on the creation of fine stone and artisanal glass dials. Using the typical layout of the Excellence Régulateur model, with the hours counter at 12 o’clock, the central axis bearing the minutes hand only and the seconds hand sub-dial at 6 o'clock, the Swiss brand is presenting three limited editions, replika órák each comprised of just 99 pieces, in Aventurine, Lapis-Lazuli and Malachite.
