Glashutte Original Senator Navigator WorldView 39-47-07-07-04

Glashutte Original Senator Navigator WorldView (Ref. 39-47-07-07-04) automatic pilot's watch

During Baselworld 2011, Glashutte Original has presented a number of timekeepers, all of them beautiful in their own way. One of the most interesting (at least, to yours truly) products that were exhibited in Basel, was the gorgeous Senator Navigator WorldView (Ref. 39-47-07-07-04) that tries to monetize general public's growing interest to all kinds of "pilot's" watches. Surprisingly affordable (like, affordable for a brand that often offers three-handers in stainless steel for a price of an 18-karat gold Longines chronograph) yet smart, the gadget combines a deliberately vintage dial with a high-grade in-house caliber.

Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver Black Sea (Ref. 263-92-3C)

With the new Marine Diver Black Sea (Ref. 263-92-3C), Ulysse Nardin once again updates its maritime-inspired collection. Looking deliciously un-Rolex with its vulcanized rubber case and eerie black-and-red color scheme, the Black Sea may not be as versatile as a Submariner, but it definitely is as original as money could buy.

Orient M-Force Diver Finally Available in US

2011 Orient M-Force 200M (refs. EL03001B, EL03001D & EL03002M) automatic diving watch

It looks like Orient is finally going to reintroduce its M-Force series to the North American market. The offensive will begin with the new Wunderwaffe: the 2011 M-Force 200M (refs. EL03001B, EL03001D & EL03002M) automatic diver. Available in three colors of its dial (black, blue, and orange with the pale green luminescent substance on its hour markers and hands,) the new timekeeper is officially rated for 200 meters, which makes it a perfect companion for recreational scuba diving.

Dievas Vortex Professional 500M Tactical Diver

Dievas Vortex Professional 500M Diver Review

Featuring a very clean design that successfully combines the legibility of a classic pilot's watch with the ruggedness of a modern diving tool, the new Dievas Vortex Professional 500M may be a bit too expensive for a person graduating from something like a Seiko Monster, but, in my humble opinion, easily compensates the price differential with the build quality, impeccable styling, and, of course, tons of German-style mojo.

Louis Erard Excellence Moon Phase 24 Hour 80 231 AA 01

Louis Erard Excellence Moon Phase 24 Hour (Ref. 80 231 AA 01)

Featuring an extremely elegant design of its dial and animated by a robust and reliable chronograph movement, this new "full calendar" Louis Erard Excellence Moon Phase 24 Hour Ref. 80 231 AA 01 is an accessory of choice for an office worker who can't afford an IWC Portuguese yet.

Edox WRC X-Treme Pilot III Edition (10303-TIN-NIN)

Edox WRC X-Treme Pilot III Limited Edition (ref. 10303-TIN-NIN)

Even despite the gadget being powered by an average (but, hey, it is still a Swiss made job!) quartz chronograph movement made by Ronda, the new Edox WRC X-Treme Pilot III Limited Edition easily takes the top spot in my personal The Next Sporty Chronograph short list for this year.
