First Look: Rolex’s GMT-Master II sets the tone with new gold and two-tone options

At the 2023 Watches & Wonders event, Rolex took the first look at its lineup, revealing two new gray/black bezel variants of the GMT-Master II in yellow gold and two-tone designs. This combination – especially the all-gold reference – is astonishing with its mix of gray and gold. It’s an uncommon hue combination that builds on 2022’s destroyer version of the GMT-Master II, adding to the evidence that Rolex sees the line as a testing ground. Compared with the other releases of Rolex in 2023, it is undoubtedly one of the more exploratory works outside the Day-Date series.

A new two-tone version (called “Rolesor” by the brand) joins the current lineup as the only steel/gold offering currently on the Rolex 50th Anniversary bracelet, giving it extra clout as a neo-vintage piece that may appeal to collectors, Although even in today’s weak Rolex market, that doesn’t mean much. Within minutes of the images appearing on social media, fans were dubbing the new Cerachrom bezel variant “Guinness,” a moniker that’s synonymous with “Pepsi,” “Coca-Cola,” “root beer,” and other beverage-themed variants. The GMT nickname of the . Fake watches

Looking at the current state of the GMT-Master II series, it must have been the world of Oystersteel before today. Only two of the ten references are noticeably gold, while the other two variants feature an all-platinum construction, allowing them to blend in with the rest of the steel range. By adding gold to the color mix, Rolex not only introduced a new color to the GMT-Master II collection, but one that was bright and distinct from the understated Everose version. To be clear, the release of the GMT-Master II series in 2023 does not represent an overhaul of the series. The dimensions from the 40mm case to the 3285 cheap Rolex-manufactured movement remain the same, as do the clear details of the dial, lettering and strap. Still, thanks to Rolex’s unique global demand, coupled with the GMT-Master’s status as a flagship model in the brand’s catalog, it’s interesting to add more gold. Especially for a two-tone model, it signals some level of staying power in what might otherwise be a fading trend. Like it or not, Rolex has been a leader in horological fashion for decades, and giving gold the credibility of the GMT-Master II will ensure that the recent “golden renaissance” lasts at least for a while.

Seven of our favorite watches from past Masters winners

From Rolex to Richard Mille, some of the best watches from past Masters champions.

Masters Sunday is one of the best days in the entire sports calendar. I grew up playing golf, watches are my job now, and there’s another sport on Masters Sunday: finding the winner’s watch. Watch brands fully support golf. Rolex sponsors all four of the men’s majors, and brands from Rolex to Audemars Piguet to Hublot have a roster of ambassadors who don their watches quickly after a round and show up at post-match events, interviews and Wear them in front of the camera at trophy awards.

With the storm delaying the end of this year’s Masters, we decided to take a look back at some of our favorite watches from past Masters champions. We’ve been looking for watches from the Green Jacket winners since at least 2012, and sure, these are brand ambassadors, but we’ve seen some great watches too. Here are the seven Masters champions—men who won a combined 22 Masters titles—and the watches they wore.

tiger woods
Of course, we have to start with five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods. When he dons his latest green jacket in 2019, we find him wearing a Rolex Deep Sea D-Blue. Woods’ caddy, Joe LaCava, said Woods even gave him a Rolex watch after his 2019 title, which LaCava said was too flashy for him to get out of the box.

Back in 2011, Rolex signed Woods as its spokesperson (Rolex Ambassador Ambassador). Since then, he’s been spotted wearing his Deepsea almost everywhere. We even spotted Woods wearing it to sleep a few years ago (remember Keegan Allen telling us he did the same?).

In one of my favorite watch endorsement footnotes, a young Tiger Woods briefly served as a Tudor ambassador in the 1990s. The most notable result of their collaboration is a series of “Tiger” chronographs. They were similar to Tudor’s standard chronographs of the time, but had “Tiger” written on the dial and came in a variety of colors (including green next to Masters). After spending most of the 2000s at TAG Heuer, Woods signed with Rolex in 2011.

Scotty Scheffler
Last year’s winner, Scottie Scheffler, is another Rolex spokesperson. After his win, we find him wearing the Everose Rolex GMT-Master II “Root Beer,” a two-tone version of the GMT-Master II released in 2018.

With Woods and Scheffler, a Rolex face could win three of the final four Masters—Hideki Matsuyama dons a green jacket in 2023 and wears a Rolex Submariner Date “Bluesy” on his wrist. Hublot’s Dustin Johnson wins in 2020.

adam scott
Another green jacket, another Rolex spokeswoman. When Adam Scott won the Masters in 2013, we found out he was wearing a Rolex Deep Sea at the Green Jacket Awards. Since then, it’s safe to say he’s become a complete nerd. He was talking watches and golf on Hodinkee Radio in 2018 (the picture on his wrist that day was the Everose GMT-Master II Scheffler wore when he won the Masters). At that point, he told us that he had delved into vintage Rolexes. He has “visited” the Rolex factory “many times”. This guy even lives in Switzerland! replica watches Price

These days, he’s even posting pictures of his wrists on his Instagram, most recently with his Milgauss (seems he’s disappointed it’s being discontinued).

bubba watson
Adam Scott’s 2013 Masters victory was sandwiched between Bubba Watson’s two Masters victories. Watson has been a Richard Mille ambassador since 2011. Some RMs bear his name: the RM038 and RM038-1 tourbillons and the RM055. During his victories in 2012 and 2014, Watson wore the RM038. Unlike Rolex’s testimony, Watson often wore a Richard Mille watch while playing golf. The RM038 is what you’d expect from an RM: it’s a tourbillon with an all-white case made of 89% magnesium.

Nick Faldo
This year’s Masters will sound a little different, as it will be the first time since 2007 that Nick Faldo will not be in the announcer’s booth. Prior to his broadcasting career, Sir Nick won the Masters three times in 1989, 1990 and 1996, half of the six Grand Slam titles he won in his career. Popular cheap watch

Faldo was a longtime ambassador for Audemars Piguet, and when he won the Masters and British Open in 1990, AP even produced a limited edition Royal Oak “Champion’s Edition” to celebrate. This is a 33mm Royal Oak quartz watch that stands out for being AP’s first use of stainless steel and tantalum. It’s also sold with a pretty crazy box set that includes a key chain, Royal Oak cufflinks and pendant, belt, pill case, belt, and tantalum bracelet. AP released another Royal Oak Nick Faldo Limited Edition in 2003 – it was not as good as the Champion, and stood out for the slightly dated golf ball rotor bearing Faldo’s signature.

Jack Nicklaus
Back in 2017, we made a talking watch with 18-time major champion (and 6-time Masters champion) Jack Nicklaus. As he told us, he owns the same Rolex Day-Date ref. 1803 Gold version since 1967. That means he’s carried the watch in 12 of his 18 major tournaments – he’ll take it to the course, put it in a small bag, and put it in his golf balls bag, then slipped it back on his wrist as he walked off the 18th green.

Arnold Palmer
Finally, the most stylish golfer, Arnold Palmer. He was the one who really made watch endorsements the standard for players, signing with Rolex in 1967 (in fact, Palmer, Nicklaus and Gary Player were some of the first clients of IMG, a pioneering sports agency, which has changed the way endorsement deals are done for many athletes). Getting a watch deal is a young golfer’s right of passage these days, but it started with Arnie.

Over the years, he can be seen wearing several different Rolex copy watches. Check out this photo of him with Packers quarterback Bart Starr, President Richard Nixon and baseball player Al Kaline in 1969, wearing a gold Day-Date on his wrist. That looks good for someone who is paving the way for modern watch endorsement deals.

Tudor Black Bay series

The Tudor Black Bay series grandly launched the Black Bay 54 watch, paying homage to the brand’s first diving watch The Tudor Black Bay series grandly launched the Black Bay 54 watch. Equipped with a 37mm case and equipped with the original Tudor movement, it pays the most sincere respect to the brand’s first diving watch, the 7922, which came out in 1954, with pure spirit and modern expression.

The Black Bay series mainly draws on Tudor’s early series of diving watches, and the newly launched Black Bay 54 (Black Bay 54) is an almost faithful replica of the brand’s first diving watch, the 7922 model. The classic 37mm case continues the original proportions. But under the retro appearance, it also uses the original single chronograph movement MT5400 of the Tudor watch and the waterproof depth of 200 meters, demonstrating the excellent technical strength that keeps pace with the times. The one-way rotating outer ring without scale marks is also one of the classic designs, which is reminiscent of the vigorous rise of scuba diving in the early 1950s. . In addition, the new watch also shows new ideas in many aesthetic details. The lollipop-shaped second hand is reminiscent of the appearance of the original model. The crown and outer ring are also based on the original proportions, and are innovatively designed according to the principles of ergonomics, with a more modern style.

features

  1. Classic 37mm stainless steel case, 60-minute stainless steel unidirectional rotating outer ring, no scale marks
  2. Arched black matte dial, decorated with delicate radial patterns, embellished with gold-plated decoration
  3. “Snowflake” hands, a major symbol of Tudor diving wholesale watches, came out in 1969, coated with A-grade Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous coating
  4. The original Tudor watch movement MT5400 has been certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC), equipped with a silicon hairspring, and has a power reserve of up to 70 hours
  5. Optional stainless steel three-link “rivet” strap or rubber strap, both equipped with Tudor “T-fit” quick-adjust buckle
  6. Five-year transferable warranty without registration or periodic inspection

Backtracking to the classics

The Biwan series goes back to the tradition, inherits the classics, and always respects the important design that established the unique aesthetic style of Tudor watches. It incorporates the core design elements of the brand’s past diving watches, and the Black Bay 54 may be the most faithful to the classic watch so far. Its prototype, the Tudor Oyster Prince Submariner 7922, is undoubtedly a masterpiece worth learning from. It is not only recognized and adopted by the Navy, but also widely sought after by professional divers. The initial model of the 7922 model adopts the “small crown” design, and the red triangle mark is not set at the 12 o’clock position, so as to create a more concise and unified appearance. Black Bay 54 follows this tradition, and strives to achieve extraordinary charm through a series of subtle detail designs. Taking the pointer as an example, its proportions have been adjusted to be more in line with modern aesthetics, but the method of fixing it at the bottom is exactly the same as the classic design in 1954. The edge of the outer ring is also innovated on the original basis of the 7922 model, which is not only ergonomic, but also reflects a modern style. The frosted dial decorated with exquisite radial patterns and the “T-fit” buckle that is easy to adjust give Biwan 54 a more modern and fashionable personality. The Tudor original movement MT5400 guarantees the excellent performance of the watch with advanced technology. cheap watch review

jacobs co.

twin turbo

Launched at Baselworld in 2016, the original Twin Turbo model was the first timepiece in history to combine two three-axis tourbillons and a minute repeater. The Twin Turbo Furious goes a step further by adding a very special chronograph function.

The tourbillon takes 24 seconds to rotate around the first axis, 8 seconds on the second axis and 30 seconds on the third axis. As a result, the tourbillon cage covers all possible positions in just half a minute and compensates for the effects of gravity, thereby significantly increasing the precision of the movement. This is a significant improvement over previous versions of the watch, which took 8 minutes to cover all positions.

Given the speed of the tourbillon, the balance wheel’s 6 beats per second provides a fragmented and visually powerful rhythm, which has led to the name “continuous”. A differential linking the two tourbillon cages stabilizes the entire system. In the event of a shock, if either of the two tourbillons is affected, the other immediately compensates.

Decimal minute repeater
The minute repeater is one of the most prized complications by collectors. They are also the most difficult complications for watchmakers to conceive. Nonetheless, Jacob & Co. pushed the boundaries when bringing the Twin Turbo Furious to life. To simplify the audible indication of the time, the Twin Turbo Furious beeps every ten minutes. As this mechanism is known to be very sensitive, Jacob & Co.’s movement engineering department incorporated safety devices to prevent accidental events such as the chronograph being activated when resetting the time.

planetary gear power reserve
The power reserve is indicated at 6 o’clock on the side of the dial. Thanks to an ingenious planetary system incorporating a differential gear mechanism; the pointer points to the full power reserve on the left, then moves to the right as the 50-hour reserve dwindles. The watch is wound using the crank at 3 o’clock.

Monopusher chronograph function with reference time
The Twin Turbo Furious is equipped with a “reference time” indicator. This was inspired by the timing panels used in racing cars; each lap, a panel on the side of the track tells drivers the difference between their time and the lap reference time. On the Twin Turbo Furious, the chronograph has a scale that shows at a glance the difference in seconds compared to the reference time set by the chronograph. Wholesale Fake watches

New Arrival: Patek Philippe Calatrava 24 Hour Display Travel Time Ref. 5224R-001

Patek Philippe presents a new Calatrava model with an original 24-hour central display for local time and home time. referee. The 5224R-001 is powered by a Calibre31-260 PS FUS 24H with three patents.

Patek Philippe Calatrava 24 Hours Display Travel Time Ref. 5224R-001 is a regular production timepiece.

Calatrava is the quintessential Swiss round dress watch. It is the embodiment of elegance and tradition, synonymous with the Patek Philippe brand. In recent years, however, there has been a shift toward bringing Calatrava into the 21st century in order to be more in sync with today’s trends. Patek Philippe has never been afraid of change. The brand knew it needed to evolve in order to stay relevant. The latest example of Patek Philippe’s efforts to modernize the Calatrava collection can be seen in the new Ref. here. 5224R-001 (and Ref. 6007G, which debuted in Watches and Wonders 2023).

referee. The 5224R is not what you usually imagine when you think of a classic Calatrava. It has a blue dial, a 42mm case, sporty numerals, a time display in an atypical 24-hour format, and a matching brushed blue calfskin strap. That is, these seemingly modern design elements are tempered by the traditional fine craftsmanship that continues to define Patek Philippe. For example, the Calatrava has a larger case, but has a refined and fully polished look. While the main time display in 24-hour format may seem novel, it was actually inspired by the Patek Philippe No. P-527 pocket 1:1 Quality Replica wathes produced more than a century ago for the Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau. Then, when you turn the watch over, you find a mechanical movement with traditional architecture and you’re done.

All in all, Ref. The 5224R manages to strike a delicate balance between old and new worlds while keeping it fresh with an unorthodox 24-hour time display.

Patek Philippe has expanded its extensive selection of Travel Time dual time zone watches with the new Calatrava model, which features the original display of local time and home time by means of two central hands that turn a 24-hour circle. The manufacturer has used 24-hour displays in the past, notably on the Chronometro Gondolo watches produced for the Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau in the early 20th century. One of them is a pocket watch made in 1905, which is now displayed in the Patek Philippe Museum (No. P-527). For the new Reference 5224R-001, the designers have reinterpreted this type of indication in a decidedly contemporary spirit. They also chose to place the noon time at 12 o’clock instead of the usual 6 o’clock, ensuring excellent daytime legibility.

To provide these functions, Patek Philippe’s engineers took the 31-260 ultra-thin self-winding base movement and added a 24-hour mechanism and a travel time mechanism. Launched in 2011 in the annual calendar regulator ref. 5235 (caliber 31-260 REG QA), it was completely reworked in 2021 for the inline perpetual calendar ref. 5236P-001 (caliber 31-260 PS QL). It operates at 4 Hz (28,800 semi-oscillations per hour) with a 20% increase in barrel spring torque, a platinum micro-oscillating weight (heavier than gold) for increased winding power and a reduction wheel When the watch is manually wound, It disconnects the automatic winding mechanism, which reduces wear. In 2022, Patek Philippe redesigned the movement again for the annual calendar travel time reference 5326G-001 (caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H) and developed several innovations, resulting in the application for eight patents. The new caliber 31-260 PS FUS 24H movement, reference 5224R-001, benefits from three of these patents, designed to optimize efficiency, accuracy, durability, safety and ease of use. Fake Luxury Watches

Through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, you can see the new self-winding movement caliber 31-260 PS FUS 24H with platinum mini-rotor, whose elegant craftsmanship (9.85 meters high) is very suitable for the Calatrava model. line, Patek Philippe also replaced the traditional local time correction pusher on the left side of the case with a patented correction system that uses a crown that is pulled out to the middle position (backwards and forwards in one-hour increments). Modeled on the device used in reference 5326G-001 in 2022. The fully polished rose gold case, 42 mm in diameter, is inspired by the Calatrava weekly calendar ref. 5212A-001 launched in 2019 and features curved double lugs.

The navy blue dial shines with its elegance and legibility, enhanced by the twin-track hour and minute markers. The 24-hour display, alternating Arabic numerals and hour markers, and cabochon 5-minute hour markers represent a total of 44 rose gold appliqués – polished together to achieve the same brilliance and individually set by hand. The Travel Time Dual Time is indicated by three syringe-shaped hands in rose gold, the local hour and minute hands are coated with luminescent coating, and the center of the home hour hand is hollowed out. Delicate finishing touches create a beautiful play of light and shadow on the dial: a circular striped centre, a circular satin-brushed hour circle and the snailed small seconds with a rose gold-plated outline. The navy blue calfskin strap features a nubuck finish and contrasting cream stitching that matches the color of the dial. It is secured by a rose gold pin buckle.

Several Patek Philippe patents are reapplied to this new movement, including – for the time zone component – three patents from the caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H (ref. 5326G-001): • Time setting in three crown positions (
Swiss patent CH 716383 B1 published 29.07.2022)
This time-setting system has a three-position lever that deactivates certain wheels as long as they are not performing any corrections. This reduces energy consumption and wear on the corresponding wheels. The result is a gain that balances magnitude (rate accuracy) and reliability. quartz replica watch

  • Linear time zone spring (European patent EP 3650953 B1)
    The system consists of a star wheel and a jump spring. It allows a strong increase in torque between the local time and home time wheels – thus providing the user with more precise information.
  • Inertia gain (European patent application EP 3822711 A1)
    This mechanism counteracts the difference in inertia between heavier and lighter wheels. It prevents accidental forward or backward misalignment of the time display (home time, local time, minutes) when the time zone is corrected in either direction. This increases the accuracy of the display.

Zenith launches a newly designed collection of pilot watches

While there are numerous brands across the watch industry with deep ties to aviation, only one brand has actually the right to use the word “pilot” in its models: Zenith. With this in mind, the Pilot line is deeply rooted in It’s no surprise that it’s in the brand’s DNA, even if it tends to be overshadowed in enthusiast circles by the likes of El Primero and Defy. However, as part of Watches and Wonders 2023, Zenith has completely reinvented the Pilot collection from the ground up, creating a more modern and sporty new look for the long-running line of pilot watches. The new Zenith Pilot Collection, including the Zenith Pilot Automatic and the Zenith Pilot Panorama Date Flyback, completely reimagines the brand with a new concept of luxury, clean lines and cutting-edge functionality pilot watch concept.

Despite measuring 40mm and 42.5mm respectively, the new Zenith Pilot Automatic and Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback share a new case design. This new case profile is a radical departure from the quirky, early 20th century-inspired case of the previous Pilot, and instead offers a sportier, modern tool watch style. Wide tapered lugs, smooth case side chamfers and a broad flat beveled bezel all combine to create a clean, familiar sporty shape, although the two available case materials are projected in two different ways in the image this design. Traditional stainless steel options give both models a bright, handsome combination of brushed and polished surfaces for an upscale and sporty look, but it’s the black ceramic case option that really gives the new Pilot range a more contemporary feel. The all-matte black case gives both watches a stealthy military-gear look in the image, which fits perfectly with the collection’s tool watch design ethos. Both the Pilot Automatic and the Pilot Big Date Flyback feature a sapphire display caseback, and both models have a respectable 100-meter water resistance.

While the new cases of the Zenith Pilot collection borrow heavily from the standard modern pilot’s watch template, the dials of the Pilot Automatic and Pilot Big Date Flyback offer more unique personality in the initial shots. The most notable feature here is the gloss black dial surface itself, which adds a raised horizontal ribbed texture inspired by the corrugated aluminum fuselages of early aircraft such as the Ford Trimotor or the Junkers Ju 52. It’s a luxurious aviation-inspired touch that complements otherwise simple designs and is visually reminiscent of the Patek Philippe Nautilus’ famous sculpted “deck plate” dials and Rimowa’s popular ribbed aluminum trunks in the image. The rest of the basic dial is designed to be clear and functional, with clean sans-serif Arabic hour numerals and partially blacked-out pilot-style hands. While both of the Pilot Automatic’s case styles keep this layout simple and balanced, with the date window at 6 o’clock neatly positioned below the horizontal diamond scale, the Pilot Big Date Flyback offers two different dial styles. best quality watch replica

The black ceramic case model is the more straightforward of the two, with a monochromatic look, a pair of large, see-through subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock, and a large round date display at 6 o’clock above. For the Pilot’s Big Date Flyback Chronograph in stainless steel, Zenith offers a clever modern reinterpretation of the fan-favorite El Primero Rainbow Flyback Chronograph from the 90s. Like that neo-vintage model, the Pilot Big Date Flyback offers a bright red central chronograph seconds hand similar to the Speedmaster, and a matching red flieger hand for the chronograph minutes subdial at 3 o’clock. The sub-dials themselves are the most obvious homage to the Rainbow, with a slim outer ring scalloped in green, yellow and blue to match its ’90s predecessor. This isn’t the most obvious reproducible design in the Zenith backing catalog,

Zenith equips the Pilot Automatic and Pilot Big Date Flyback with a pair of in-house movements – El Primero 3620 and El Primero 3652 respectively. The El Primero 3620 self-winding movement inside the Zenith Pilot Automatic is a relatively new addition to the brand, having been substantially revised from its previous appearance in the Defy Skyline collection. Gone is the model’s signature fun 10-second sub-dial on the Pilot Automatic, replaced by a more traditional central hand with a typical 60-second sweep. Visually, the El Primero 3620 has also undergone a series of graphical changes. The previous star-shaped oscillating weight has been dropped in favor of a more openworked black-coated oscillating weight design with arabesque brushwork and an artificial horizon motif. Completing the rest of the movement is sharp and modern, with the three-quarter bridge and balance cock given a deep brushed finish on the blued screws and matt sandblasted main plate. Performance-wise, the El Primero 3620 is impressive, boasting a 60-hour power reserve and the ultra-smooth 36,000 bph beat rate that is the hallmark of the El Primero range. watches hot replica

The El Primero 3652 automatic flyback chronograph movement on the Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback watch is a new reference specially designed for this watch. The finish of this movement is distinctly different from the three-hand movement, with arabesques on each skeleton bridge, as well as blued screws and blued column wheels, but the blacked-out oscillating weight design of the El Primero 3620 is here appearing again. In terms of performance, this new movement offers similar figures to its siblings, offering a power reserve of 60 hours at a beat rate of 36,00 bph. Each new model in the Zenith Pilot Collection is fitted with a black Cordura-effect rubber strap. In addition, each stainless steel model is equipped with a classic brown leather strap, while the black ceramic model is equipped with an additional khaki green cordura-effect strap.

The new Zenith Pilot line is almost entirely different from its predecessors, but the new Zenith Pilot Automatic and Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback should prove popular for their clean functional looks, attractive new complications, modern style design philosophy, and a subtle nod to previous Zenith references. buy watch replica

Jacob & Co. and its 12 iconic timepieces

Jacob & Co. fake is known for some of the most outrageously complex watches that present a visual spectacle like no other, and because of being seen on the wrists of stars, Jacob & Co. is still known for its striking timepieces. Gage is unabashedly bold. Here’s a quick rundown of what they are, along with 12 exemplary watches that showcase the brand’s immense appeal

Jacob & Co. watches are true statement pieces that leave their mark in so many ways. Founder Jacob Arabo’s family immigrated to the United States from the former Soviet Union in hopes of a better life. In the United States in the early 80’s, Arabo began designing for various jewelry brands and established itself in the field. Ultimately, he channeled his talents and expertise in the field into his own brand, which he named Jacob & Co. His bold design sensibility quickly became known throughout circles, and the use of large jewelry in men’s separates became his signature. Before long, big names from all walks of life started noticing his work and started adopting the style. It’s no surprise, then, that Jacob & Co’s creations are the choice of so many celebs with strong personalities. Musicians Jay-Z, Drake,

Arabo created his first watch in 2002 and the progression from jewelry to watches was a natural progression. It was a five-time zone watch that was an instant success with its bold color palette and design. Just five years later, Arabo entered the international “watch capital” Geneva, Switzerland, and established Jacob & Co SA. The Quentin, the first high-complication watch launched shortly thereafter, set a number of firsts, and there has been no turning back since. Every few years, the brand continues to release one shocking piece after another. The famous Astronomia series was a huge success in the 2010s. The brand also has a variety of high-profile partnerships starting in 2019. There was Bugatti (Bugatti Twin Turbo watch), Paramount Pictures (The Godfather – special watch), with NBC/Universal Studios (Scarface themed watch, later the Fast and the Furious watch); and then with Warner Bros. and DC have teamed up to create a Batman-themed timepiece.

With each new product, the brand’s originality and bold character are evident. Even with simpler, easier-to-use “everyday” replica Tourbillon watches, they still manage to make a distinctive mark. Here are a few of their timepieces that embody this and reflect their unique personalities.

Indian Astronomical Art – Canvas by Jacob & Co.

First launched in 2014, the Astronomia Tourbillon is one of the most striking of their Astronomia watches. It reimagines the classic tourbillon complication in a vertical structure, showing four satellites in constant rotation. This eye-catching piece quickly became a canvas for various other works of art, the Astronomia Art watch collection is actually a display case, crafted from sapphire crystal and precious metals. The Indian edition of Astronomia Art features four hand-carved miniatures of Indian landmarks. These hand-painted monuments are placed on a dial made of aventurine glass, which also forms the base of the biaxial tourbillon mechanism. They are Taj Mahal, Lotus Temple, India Gate and Qutub Minar. Each miniature is the product of countless hours of handcrafting. In addition to this, the watch also contains a 288-facet “Jacob cut” diamond, which acts as one of the four satellites of the mechanism and rotates every 60 seconds. Opposite the diamonds is a blue-lacquered sphere, made of magnesium, which also completes one lap in under a minute. Completing the satellite four-way balance is the main chronograph dial with skeletonized Roman numerals – hand-engraved and black-lacquered, with blued-steel hands, also hand-finished. This stunning and moving work of art is powered by a hand-wound movement with a 60-hour power reserve. It’s housed in a generous 50mm ‘display case’ in 18-carat rose gold and sapphire crystal.

Epic X – the basis for avant-garde and sporty
The Epic X is a more stripped-down Jacob, and it might be reduced to the basics of building construction, but it can’t exactly be called minimalist. Despite its avant-garde appearance, the Epic X does celebrate traditional watchmaking forms. Skeleton watches don’t simply remove excess material from more traditional forms; it also has a lot to do with ensuring the piece’s structural integrity despite being stripped and adding transparency. While the watch must still be robust, the movement must not only remain functional, but also accurate and reliable. The hand-wound caliber JCAM01 is placed vertically, then skeletonized and finely polished to achieve this. The watch doesn’t have a running seconds hand, so transparency is especially useful as it can reveal whether parts that need to move are still moving, or if parts need to be wound. But with a 48-hour power reserve, you can rest assured that it should be enough for your next-day winding schedule. The watch features a 44mm case in black DLC-treated grade 5 titanium in an imposing “X” shape visible through the glass and sapphire crystal on the case back.

Epic X can be stripped down to the basics of a building’s structure, but it’s not just about removing superfluous material from more traditional forms; it also has a lot to do with ensuring the structural integrity of the work, albeit stripped and increased in transparency.

Epic X Chrono – Jacob & Co.’s sportiest watch yet
Jacob’s Epic X template with claw lugs and two prominently visible bridges on either side of the movement has been translated into this chronograph. This 47mm sports watch retains its skeletonized look, with a colored mineral crystal dial revealing the column-wheel chronograph movement inside.

The self-winding caliber JCAA05, which offers a 48-hour power reserve, powers the watch, including the chronograph and small seconds sub-dial in a biaxial layout. In addition to the functions of the watch, the inner rotating bezel has a 60-minute chronograph controlled by a push-down crown at 10 o’clock. Enhancing the view all this is the anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass, which is framed by the ceramic bezel.

Other elements of the watch include rubber pushers and a screw-down crown that help keep the watch water-resistant to 200 meters. This is Jacob & Co’s sportiest watch yet, available in a variety of materials and colours.

Regal Classic – The Jacob & Co. Classic Alternative
From sporty to classic, here’s Jacob’s collection of stylish timepieces that are more refined than his larger statement pieces and sportier Epic X watches. Reflecting the canons of Art Deco design, these classic timepieces feature very subtle finishes that give them an understated yet refined allure.

Magnificent classic automatic
This Palatial Classic automatic watch is powered by the self-winding movement JCCA01, which offers a 36-hour power reserve. It is equipped with a “Glucydur” balance wheel – lower thermal expansion – and a shock protection system. The watch has a 42mm 18-carat rose gold case, is water resistant to 50 meters and features anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The display includes guilloché dials in various colors (brown here), applied logos and markers, and polished dauphine hands for two-hand timekeeping. Each piece is individually numbered and secured on an alligator strap with a solid rose gold buckle.

Magnificent Classic Manual Panorama Calendar
This Palatial may have a hand-wound movement, but it does offer a lot. The JCCM01 movement offers a power reserve of 50 hours, displayed on the dial at six o’clock. In contrast is the big date at 12 o’clock – a coveted big date. All of this is laid out on a dial that is guillochéd and comes in a variety of colors – gray, gold and blue here. The watch has a 42mm stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, and is available on an alligator leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet, depending on the version.

Five time zones in majesty – the embodiment of simplicity in the first fake Jacob & Co. watch
GMT and World Time watches are among the most useful and sought-after watches, and this five-time zone watch is an absolute steal. While we may or may not travel across time zones, our connections with people in different regions have increased significantly over the past few years, so a watch that can tell us the time in different regions at the same time is certainly a handy tool. . This is the latest version of Jacob Arabo’s first ever watch. It has a central chronograph function with both hands, and four sub-dials with New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Paris time. But you can actually set any timezone you choose on them. The main dial, with sword-shaped hands and fine-cut hour-markers, is in black nickel with guilloche finish, while the sub-dials are snailed and ruthenium-plated. Each of the five sets of chronograph hands runs its own Swiss quartz movement – ETA 280.002. To house the multiple movements inside, the steel case measures 45mm and is topped by a round sapphire crystal that has been internally antireflectively treated. The closed satin case back features a graphic world map. It is carved and painted. Water-resistant to 50 meters, the case comes on a black alligator strap.

Brilliant – presenting a jewel-like vivid spectrum
Aptly named, this sparkling, stunning creation is a contemporary, beautiful timepiece that exudes glamour, and showcases Jacob & Co’s fine jewelry prowess – both gem sourcing and gem setting. The stainless steel case measures 38 mm and features a row of 52 round-cut diamonds on the bezel, totaling approximately 1.3 carats. Even the crown has as many as 32 round diamonds with a total weight of about 0.39 carats. At the same time, the white mother-of-pearl dial is inlaid with 11 colored sapphires as hour markers (approximately 0.44 carats), and the center of the dial is paved with 50 diamonds (0.66 carats). The stainless steel case is powered by Swiss Quartz ETA 955.432 movement with sapphire crystal and satin-finished case back. It comes with an elegant satin strap.

Brilliant and Mysterious Inlay – Brilliant and Mysterious
Brilliant Mystery Pave Diamonds is a triumph of novelty display that maintains the illusion of mystery and intrigue, making it easy to explain even as the trick itself is well understood. The black triangular hour and minute hands are suspended in the sapphire crystal glass, as if floating in mid-air. The part where these hands connect to the mechanism is subtly concealed, and the mechanism itself is hidden behind the diamond-paved central part of the dial. The Swiss quartz ETA movement E01.701 in 18 carat rose gold is not connected to the regular time setting crown to maintain the space between the central part of the watch and the case bezel. There is no crown on the case back but A time corrector. The 38 mm case itself is set with 298 round white diamonds (approximately 6.5 carats), and the bezel is also paved with diamonds (0.55 carats). The satin strap has an 18-carat rose gold buckle also set with diamonds – approximately 0.48 carats. The total number of diamonds in this watch is as high as 476, with a total weight of 8.43 carats. copy men watch

Richard Mille RM 53-01 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough

The RM 53-01 is the ‘amazing’ new result of Richard Mille’s encounter with one of the best players in the world, Pablo Mac Donough. Dynamic and dynamic, this watch is equipped with a suspended tourbillon movement and is unobstructed through the unprecedented laminated sapphire glass of the Carbon TPT® case.

“Polo is a dangerous game, with heavy impacts. It’s a very elegant game and it’s a contact sport,” explains Richard Mille.
“Given that Pablo has suffered multiple fractures during his career, I asked our team to design a watch that would resist the many types of shocks that occur during polo matches, while leaving the movement visible.”replica swiss watches

Realizing that ordinary glass would not provide the necessary resistance to the blow of a mallet, the brand’s engineers teamed up with world-renowned sapphire specialist Stettler to produce laminated glass inspired by current practice in the automotive sector. This glass is made of polyethylene film The use of a glass consisting of two separate pieces of sapphire glass constitutes a first in the horological world. Faced with the intense shock wave from a mallet strike, the glass will crack, but not shatter. This glass has an anti-reflective and UV coating that protects the movement from the external environment and is a patent-pending Richard Mille exclusive.

Embellished with notches that reinforce its structural integrity, the case is machined from Carbon TPT®, an exceptionally tough and virtually indestructible protection known for its exceptional resistance to micro-cracks and tears. The inlaid luster characteristic of Carbon TPT® and the sharp lines of the case emphasize the particularly sporty character of this replica mens watch.

Richard Mille’s solution to the external impact of the tourbillon was to suspend the movement with cables. The atypical architecture of this design requires the creation of two separate backplanes. The first or “peripheral” plate is secured to the case and supports the tensioner. The second, known as the “central” plate, is connected by cables to the peripheral plates and incorporates the wheels that make up the movement and winding mechanism.

Like a spider in the middle of a spider’s web, the central baseplate is supported on two braided steel cables with a diameter of only 0.27 mm. These cables outline a three-dimensional structure in their path through 10 pulleys, held in place by 4 tensioners. watchmaker in charge.luxury replica watches

The cables are tensioned by turning the spline screw located in the center of each tensioner. By ensuring evenly distributed tension, this pulley system guarantees perfect balance of the entire mechanism.

The suspended movement and the use of grade 5 titanium (double baseplate and bridges) contribute to increased rigidity while ensuring smooth running of the travel train and optimum shock protection.

The new and captivating Gradient Lamido Ocean Star Tribute

An all-encompassing dive fashion watches, now in summery light blue.

Mido has been particularly active in the past few weeks, starting with the recent release of one of the coolest models ever, the Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer, or the rather impressively equipped Multifort M Chronometer. Well, that doesn’t end there, as the brand discreetly revealed a new version of its vintage-inspired dive watch, the Ocean Star Tribute. Already available in a range of glamorous colors – such as this bold ombre red version, or this military-inspired green version – the collection is back with colorful versions ready for this summer. The Mido Ocean Star with a gradient light blue dial pays homage to the latest model.

This watch isn’t particularly new, we’ve seen a lot of changes in the past. But the latest model to join the range is quite attractive, to say the least. Let’s start with a quick reminder, shall we? The Ocean Star Tribute is part of a range of affordable, well-equipped classic dive watches with very good specifications. There’s nothing groundbreaking or above the competition here, and we’re talking a decently sized 200m water-resistant model with a classic design. If you want something stronger and more powerful, the Ocean Star Diver 600 is the one you should be looking for. fashion watches

With its timeless look, 40.5mm diameter and polished steel case with pointed crown guard, the Ocean Star Tribute revives the style of the 1960s with a contemporary twist. Balanced and well proportioned, it features a box-shaped sapphire crystal, thin unidirectional bezel with aluminum insert and 60-minute scale, screw-down crown and caseback, and 20 bar pressure resistance – enough for all recreational diving.

New for this year, the watch comes in a light summer color scheme. In this new version, the bezel is a medium blue, while the dial has a gradient effect from sky blue in the center to the same color as the bezel at the edges. Additionally, the rectangular markers and hands are coated in white Super-LumiNova for a nice contrast against the colored background. An important update, as opposed to the previous version, this gradient blue model has a time and date display and does not have the rather intrusive day-date window of the previous version. This is of course a matter of preference, but I personally think this date-only version is more visually balanced.vintage watches for sale

Inside the chassis, there are no surprises. Like the cool decompression chronograph 1961 or many other watches from the brand, this new dive watch is equipped with the new entry-level movement Powermatic 80 from Swatch Group. An evolution of the ETA 2824, it has a redesigned power train with a slightly slower 3Hz frequency but a much longer power reserve of 80 hours. In addition, it features an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring. This automatic movement is concealed behind a closed case back.

Case: Diameter 40.50 mm x Height 13.40 mm – stainless steel case, polished – unidirectional steel bezel with medium blue aluminum insert, 60-minute diving scale – screw-down crown, screw-down case back – dome Sapphire crystal – 200m water resistance
