A buddy of mine at Omega just casually dropped a bomb on me. Apparently, they are getting to re-release the iconic Omega Seamaster Bullhead. It’ll be true to the original save for the modern auto movement… And count on it being VERY expensive, but man-oh-man….
I’m typically not an Oris guy. I often find their face designs and UI to be a bit stale. However, this new Air Racing Edition has caught my imagination in a major way. It feels like an aircraft gauge, but it’s not an over done birthday cake. Just really well done…
I love Mad Men… And it goes beyond the “retro cool” of it all. That being said, this is damned cool in itself.
Shinola is one of those freshly bred companies coming out of Detroit with an eye on rejuvenation. Together with Ronda (swiss movement manufacturer) they have trained a number of new watch makers and have moved into a 30,000 square foot shop in D-Town with the plan to being the art form back to the states.
I love this idea… and I love this watch. $550 is a hell of a deal too.
Every damned time Sinn releases a new watch, I lose my mind… This one is special. Based off a German military design and limited to 1000 pieces. Expect a price just shy of $2000 which isn’t all that bad considering the hardware.
Sometimes I feel like Bell & Ross tries too hard with the whole Military theme thing. They take and implement things so literally that they often find themselves in Orange County Chopper territory. That being said, I’m in love with their latest – The WW2 Régulateur. It’s has a nice vintage aircraft feel to it without being over the top. And it’s “only” six large.
I dig IWC watches and all, but they are priced so far out of my world that I hardly ever pay attention to them. I’m sure this one will fall right in line with IWC’s rate sheet, but it’s so damned cool I can’t ignore it. A ceramic case, titanium case back, and a 168 hour reserve…
