The new Deep Blue Daynight T-100 Tritium Flat Tubes is not particularly handsome in broad daylight, but it shines like a Christmas tree in total darkness. What more would you like from an affordable diving tool that is also rugged enough to withstand some real abuse serving as a daily beater for a person who prefers active lifestyle to a miserable life of a couch potato?
Looking at the new Tudor Grantour Chrono Fly-Back that was officially presented last March during the annual Baselworld 2011 show, I can't figure out whether Rolex is serious about its resurrected entry-luxury sub-brand or just amuses itself with an old toy.
The recently introduced Citizen Eco-Drive Signature Perpetual Calendar (ref. BL1258-53L) has immediately sparked controversy among enthusiasts and bloggers alike. The reason for the universal brouhaha was the decoration of the unidirectional rotating bezel that looked like it was blatantly ripped off the 2009 TAG Heuer Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 diver that went on sale two years prior to the introduction of this model.
The 2011 Saint Honore Haussman Forty7-24 Le Mans automatic chronograph is massive, but energetic. If you are familiar with the brand, you must have already got the idea that the new watch belongs to their Haussman collection that offers timekeepers both for gentlemen and their ladies.
The 2011 Omega Hour Vision Co-Axial Skeleton Platinum (ref. 431.93.41.21.64.001) has the usual solid dial swapped for a sapphire one that offers a super view at its skeletonized co-axial movement.
Hublot is going to sell 100 pieces of its special numbered edition Hublot Big Bang amfAR BANG (Ref. 301.CI.1170.GR.AMF11) automatic chronograph donating some part of the revenue to the US-based amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) nonprofit organization.
Like their recent self-winding King Power Red Devil collection, the 2011 Hublot Big Bang Flamengo (Ref. 318.CI.1123.FLM11) is, too, dedicated to soccer. Featuring the same 45-minute chronograph counter, it nevertheless comes in a more tranquil, sober case and also sports a simpler movement.
With its new Navitimer Super Constellation (ref. A23322U7/BB20), which is limited to only 1049 pieces, Breitling supports a local nonprofit foundation that keeps flight-worthy the legendary N73544 Lockheed C-121C Super Constellation airplane. The aircraft is based in Basel, Switzerland and flies with the famous "B" on its signature tripletail.
