Although powered by a modified version of an unassuming ETA blank movement, this new Montblanc Star Quantieme Complet (Ref. 108737) automatic wrist watch is delivered in a refined, slim rose gold body and looks like a very nice choice for a person looking for an, um, expensive “entry level” luxury watch.
The young American watchmaking brand updates its CalDiver 500 small family of large diving watches with a yet new edition. Called Deep Blue CalDiver USA 500, the new watch differs from its siblings not only with a restyled dial, but also with a silk screen USA flag, which is combined with the brand’s logo and is clearly visible through the transparent case back of the piece.
The new Jaquet Droz The Eclipse Onyx automatic wrist watch has not one, but whole two aces in its sleeve. For starters, it has its face crafted from black onyx: a mineral, which is widely used in jewelry for making cabochons and beads, but very rarely employed when it comes to crafting dials (well, Jaquet Droz knows a thing or two about jewelry, so they use the mineral pretty often.) The second is its very unusual moon-phase indicator that may be of some interest to those already tired of the customary displays.
Each new Aerowatch Les Grandes Classiques Venus 203 limited edition hand-wound wrist watch (Ref. A 93955 AA01) is powered by one of a few remained Venus 203 calibers that were produced more than sixty years ago in 1950. Founded in 1923 by P. Berret, J.B. Berret and O. Schmitz in a Swiss town of Moutier, the ebauche maker Fabrique d’Ebauches Venus S.A. seized to exist 43 years later in 1966. Although the brand was mostly known for their chronograph calibers (some of them were even supplied to Jaeger-LeCoultre and Breitling,) the caliber Venus 203 that combines moonphase complication with full calendar has also become a highly sought-after item among serious collectors.
The luxury watchmaker keeps gradually introducing new members of its dressy Manero family.

With the new Raymond Weil 35th Anniversary Maestro Full Calendar (Ref. 12849 G 00659) automatic wrist watch, the Swiss watchmaker offers yet another generic timekeeper at a ridiculously high price.
