TAG Heuer will soon start selling its limited-edition 300 SLR Caliber 1887 (ref. CAR2112.FC6267) chronograph. While many currently available “sport” chronos are sold in larger-than-life, heavier-than-sin bodies, this new TAG comes packed into a medium-sized stainless steel case that makes you remember the blessed 1970s when rock was hard and cars were deadly.

Reliable and Precise: the Bell & Ross Vintage Original BR 126 Black Officer Chronograph
Being biased towards chronographs (at least, when it comes to so-called ‘aviators’,) I must admit that I am almost in love with this mirror-polished Bell & Ross Vintage Original BR 126 Officer Chronograph. Offered in a refined mid-sized body that is inspired by pilot’s watches of the pre-WWII era, this iteration of the BR 126 model brings you a convincing combination of a relatively clean, easy-to-read dial and a slightly modified version of a reliable and precise Swiss-made automatic movement.
Baume & Mercier William Baume Jumping Hour
Right in time for the holiday shopping season, Baume & Mercier will hit the stores with a new limited-edition William Baume Jumping Hour (ref. M0A08857, also known as ref. 8857). It is what it is: a dressy automatic watch featuring a not so common jumping hour complication. What’s even more exciting about this timepiece is that this is a true limited-edition model: with just a handful of individually numbered devices to ever be released, there is a good chance that it will become a rarity in no time at all.
Archimede SportTaucher 300M Diver (Ref. UA8974-A1.4)
The German brand has just presented a pair of updated versions of its dressy diver: the Archimede SportTaucher 300M Automatic.
The Sporty Breitling Colt GMT + Diver
The 2010 Colt GMT + was officially introduced at the annual Baselworld 2010 trade show. The sporty three-hander arrived in an easily recognizable 41.3-mm stainless steel case sporting the Breitling caliber 32 COSC-certified self-winding movement. Based on the ETA 2893-2 movement, it is a GMT version of the omnipresent ETA 2892-A2. Now, tell me about “derivative works.”
Maurice Lacroix Classique Chronograph LC6058-SS001-430
This year Maurice Lacroix will add yet another model to its Les Classiques collection. Sporting the same recognizable design, the 2010 Classique Chronograph with a blue dial (ref. LC6058-SS001-430) is a timepiece that is trendy, dressy, and -what’s even more important- up to the point.
