 Since Seiko first announced the Presage Sharp Edged Series in 2020, this angular sub-line has become one of the cornerstones of its mid-range lineup, combining Grand Seiko-esque angular case geometry and elaborately patterned layered dials at a roughly $1,000 price point. As the series approaches its third anniversary, the Japanese giant aims to refine and evolve the core Sharp Edged concept with a facelifted new design while introducing a slightly more capable new movement to the brand’s roster. Although the new Seiko kopier klokker Presage Sharp Edged Series SPB415 and Presage Sharp Edged Series SPB417 are both instantly recognizable as Sharp Edged designs, the brand’s new visual tweaks and the eye-catching new open heart displays make these models a potential beacon for the stylistic future of the series. Both the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series SPB415 and the Presage Sharp Edged Series SPB417 share the same stainless steel case design. Measuring in at a moderate 40.2mm-wide ...

 strayer is a new watch brand from the creative mind of Mr. Ola Stray. An accomplished Swedish industrial designer, Mr. Stray answered the “call of horology” in deciding to develop his own watch brand, starting with an interesting debut model family known as the STR 4601. “STR” stands for “System-Turn-Release,” a term related to how this watch case was engineered. In short, there is a mechanism that locks and unlocks the middle case from the outer case (the turning lever near the crown is the switch). When unlocked, the middle case is able to be pushed out and then put into another outer case (each STR 4601 watch comes with two outer cases). The idea is to further a sense of giving the watch fashionable versatility. What is probably more interesting is how well the case system is actually engineered. To understand the design and theme of the STR 4601, let’s look at Strayer founder, Ola Stray. He has been designing high-precision, computer-controlled, hand-operated screwdrivers and ...

 For the majority of enthusiasts, Seiko will forever be associated with affordable, charmingly nicknamed dive watches, including the Turtle, Tuna, and Samurai, just to name a few. But the revered Japanese brand also has a long history of producing capable field watches under the Alpinist banner dating back to 1959, indeed before Seiko had so much as dipped a fin into the proverbial and frigid dive-watch waters. And for Alpinist nerds in the modern era, the SARB017 and its heir apparent, the SPB121, stand together as the purest expression of the design formula, exemplified by a green dial, internal rotating compass bezel with its additional crown, and a polarizing cyclops magnifier over the date. However, in 2020, Seiko did something unexpected in its refresh of the Alpinist family, quietly adding a new model in a more streamlined 38mm case, forgoing the cyclops and internal bezel, and complete with Seiko’s impressive 6R35 caliber boasting an extended 70-hour power reserve. For me a...

 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...

 This year, Junghans is celebrating 160 years of watchmaking in Germany’s Black Forest region. What better way to commemorate this milestone than by releasing a thoroughly modern watch that pays homage to the brand’s esteemed history. The Junghans Meister fein Automatic epitomizes the brand’s keen eye for form and design in an elegant and versatile package. A three-hand automatic watch that appears, at first blush, replicas relojes to be a classically styled dress watch hides a surprise in the form of a convex mid-case that creates a striking silhouette with a sculptural beauty. The result is a timeless watch that evokes the past while being every bit a contemporary timepiece that will continue to impress for decades to come. For those unfamiliar with Junghans, the German brand has been prolific over the decades, both in terms of quantity (it was exporting over three million watches and clocks at the start of the 20th century), innovation, and design. Throughout the 1900s, the bra...

 Do you like Tudor? Do you like all-bronze watches? Then we have news for you! The freshly announced Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze is a boutique-edition piece that nevertheless doesn’t appear to be limited to a certain production number — only to the places you can actually find it and buy it at, which are the roughly 50 Tudor boutiques around the world. Presented in the highly popular 39mm case size — with a case thickness of 11.9mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 48mm — the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze now adds a bronze bracelet to really drive home the bronze watch craze. Tudor calls this color palette a “rich brown-bronze tone,” and a deep brown dial and bezel complement the all-bronze exterior repliki zegarków . The material itself is a “living metal, a high-performance aluminum bronze alloy used particularly in naval engineering for submerged parts required to demonstrate a high level of resistance to corrosion such as propellers.” Fans of bronze watches know very ...

in a letter to the editor published in The New York Times in 1959, a reader responded to a recent article reporting that traces of radiation had been found on a Pan Am transatlantic flight – but that a Public Health Services investigation found the radiation levels to be less than that of a wristwatch coated in radium paint. This reader was curious, "If the statement is based on fact, shouldn't the Public Health Service also be investigating radium dial watches?" The use of radium in watches became a hot button safety issue in the 1960s, as our New York Times reader was somewhat early to point out (though the dangers were certainly known at that time). 1:1 replika The mid-century radium scare, however, did result in one of the most iconic dive watches ever produced by Blancpain. Now, Blancpain's entry into the world of dive watches is a fascinating story, and one highlighted in a recently released documentary – one that I found to be immensely entertaining. In short,...

 at this moment in time, international travel might seem like a distant memory to many of us. If, however, you’re someone who still spends time in the air, you might be performing a lot of mental math to keep track of what time it is at home. Or maybe you spend all of your time at a desk, but you’re no stranger to those long-distance video conferences that always pop up at the strangest hours. If you do, you’ve likely accidentally said “good morning” to someone when it’s 9pm at their location or, worse yet, interrupted a colleague with a phone call during dinner. Either way, as an ABTW reader, by now you’re probably thinking, “These situations call for a GMT watch!” Don’t rush out and buy one, though, rolex replica as not all GMT watches are created equal. So-called “true” or “traveler’s GMT” watches operate very differently from what is referred to as “office GMT” watches. Some watch aficionados consider them equal, but among others, there is significant debate over which is supe...

 just like shower beers, bund straps, and the Omega Ploprof, the Tudor Black Bay P01 takes a little getting used to. Ok, maybe a lot for some of you, but that’s fine. Unlike last year’s Black Bay 58 or GMT watches, I get the sense that the P01 was never meant to be a product with broad commercial appeal – it’s a set piece designed to get us talking about Tudor’s long history making dive watches for the world’s navies. I’d also hazard a guess that Tudor vastly overestimated the community’s desire for a quirkier Black Bay variant – a bit of marketing hubris that ultimately yielded one of the more ‘controversial’ watches of the show. From a design standpoint though, this is somewhat undeserved, replicas iwc as the P01 isn’t too much of a departure from Tudor’s long history of creating well-built tool watches with design or utility properties that are slightly left of center. The P01’s problem isn’t that it’s strange looking (as watch fans have proven time and again to love historical...

 I am a Lancastrian. I was born in Blackburn, a locale once synonymous with cotton weaving. In the late 18th Century, the advent of the industrial revolution saw Britain become the world’s biggest producer of cotton. In particular, by 1860, Lancashire’s “dark satanic mills” were responsible for producing half of the world’s cotton supplies. Despite the cotton-weaving industry suffering decline during the 20th century, culminating in its extinction, remnants of Lancashire’s former commercial success remain. A small percentage of the mills still stand, replicas omega though today these monolithic structures have been adapted for a multitude of purposes, and continue to remind locals of the region’s history. The neighboring county of Yorkshire sits on the eastern side of the Pennines, a series of hills that resemble vertebrae, dividing northern England into two halves. This county shares Lancashire’s rich history of manufacturing textiles, again formerly producing cotton, but also cr...

The new Chopard LUC series Chrono One Flyback watch has many things that will make you happy, not to mention that it is made of stainless steel The timepiece made of material, how is it, is there any heartbeat?

watch company archives have been thoroughly mined over the past years for inspiration from the 1950s and 1960s, with virtually no iconic dial left un-reissued. One category of neo-vintage design left unexplored, however, orologi replica siti affidabili 2021 is the enamel dial — a craft that elevated the watch dial to the level of fine art in the 1950s. The enamel dials made by Rolex in the mid-20th century are among the rarest and most valuable in the world— and also the most unattainable. Until now. Ematelier, a modern master of the enamel arts, has developed a way to pay homage to these masterpieces. However, they are as difficult and time-consuming to create as the originals. “This concept and these dials are certainly not for everyone,” says Ematelier’s Alex Landa. “Our clients to date have had a strong affinity specifically for watches with enamel dials and for rare and unique pieces. These bespoke dials originated from custom requests, and have since been driven by the desir...

The new Sinn U50 collection The most significant of the new products is the new diver watch collection bearing the U50 name, which at this stage includes three different models.
