IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph Replica Watch Hands-On

Posted on by

Perhaps no brand is better known for their pilots’ watches than IWC. When establishing a brand as the king of a segment, one must provide frequent displays of power to assert dominance over subjects and challengers alike. Among a largely refreshed pilot lineup for SIHH 2016, we find a welcome and very cool spin on IWC’s Pilot’s Worldtimer, the Cheap IWC Replica that we got to see hands-on. Using a unique in-house movement with a connected bezel system, you can set and update the local time and its 24-hour display by turning the bezel. This is a rather entertaining, useful, and approachable feature on a watch designed to simplify the jump from one timezone to another.

Carrying the reference 3905, this automatic chronograph is 45mm wide with a steel case which, including the bezel, is some 16.5mm thick. With a solid caseback and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph meets all of IWC’s requirements for a pilot’s watch and is water resistant to 60 meters.The IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph watch’s useful feature list is supported by IWC Replica Watches calibre 89760, a 4hz movement that offers 68 hours of power reserve, a date at three, hours (max: 12) and minutes recorded on the sub dial at twelve, and a jumping hour travel function. The IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph not only features a unique way of changing timezones, it also uses a somewhat strange worldtime/GMT display that links the local 12-hour hand with the 24-hour hand (the one with the red tip). So, unlike a Rolex GMT Master II, where the local hand and the GMT hand are independently set to track local and home time, the IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph Replica Watches additional hand is meant only to show 24-hour time in the timezone selected by the bezel.

So how does it actually function? The sprung bezel is captive, so it has to be depressed before it will spin. Press the bezel down and turn it in either direction to set the local and 24-hour hands backwards or forwards. If you cross the date line, the date will advance or retreat accordingly. With the watch set correctly, you can simply turn the bezel until your new local city is at twelve and the time will be updated to suit the new locale. Cities with daylight saving time have a small “s” position that will enable a summer setting to ensure the correct time is shown. The Replica IWC Watches UK entire process is done without affecting the movement’s accuracy or halting the progress of the seconds or minute hand.

I am a huge fan of GMT watches, and the IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph is one of the coolest iterations I’ve ever come across. While it’s hard to beat the functionality of a GMT chronograph, the IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph’s impressive bezel design is a noteworthy and welcome step forward in terms of simplicity and ergonomics.

Rolex Day-Date 40 Replica Watches For 2016 Hands-On

Posted on by

The granddaddy of Rolex watches, the Rolex Day-Date 40 Replica Watches “President” watch turns an appropriate 60 years old this year in 2016, and there’s a new commemorative watch to celebrate the occasion. After the Rolex Day-Date 40 was refreshed last year, it got a new 3255 movement and a 40mm case. Now, for Baselworld 2016, it is getting the regal treatment by getting a Rolex-green dial for its anniversary year.

Some of the most iconic Replica Watches feature the unmistakable bright olive green dial, and available in either white gold or Everose gold, both these pieces already look timeless. I believe the last time we saw a Rolex Day-Date with a green dial was back in 2013 with the 36mm version on a green leather band. The fluted bezel and day/date windows are ubiquitous with this watch, and the old-school Rolex green dial on a modern 40mm case is what some people would call a thing of dreams.Choosing the green sunray finish on the dial, the Cheap Replica Watches 60th anniversary watch is certainly a presidential looking piece that commands respect because everyone will recognize it when you walk into a room. No choice other than Roman numerals here, but you won’t really hear me complaining about that. In a modern-day 40mm wide on the wrist, we can see some collectors positively salivating over the prospect of wearing one of these around.And, of course, a Best Replica Watches is nothing without the President bracelet, and in either Everose or white gold, it looks as commanding and handsome as on the non-anniversary watch. Looking at the dial, on the Everose gold version you have the hands and hour markers done in an 18k pink gold whereas the white gold version will have matching white gold hour markers and hands. I suppose which one you choose is a matter of preference, the Everose gold version being more flamboyant. Or, if that doesn’t really matter to you, the interplay between green and white gold and between green and Everose is likely a factor. I, naturally, love them both.

Last year, when the Cheap Rolex Replica Day-Date 40 premiered, it had actually shrunk down one inch to 40mm wide and had a new 3255 caliber movement installed, which meets the new Rolex Superlative Chronometer certification standards of keeping accurate to within -2/+2 seconds per day. This movement provides the watch with a hearty 70-hour power reserve.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Replica

Posted on by

A few years ago, I visited my first Olympics event in Sochi, Russia, with Omega to appreciate the importance of the global event in terms of bringing people together as well as the impactful role that Omega plays as the official timekeeper – a role they have held since 1932 when the first modern Olympics was held in Los Angeles. Seeing the opening ceremony and some of the Olympic competition events in Rio de Janeiro and experiencing the impressive nature of the deeply emotional event, I continue to be enthused by Cheap Omega Replica participation. The games, after all, are among the last forms of healthy competition between the world’s nations, and while it is designed to have both winners and losers, no one who takes part in it loses in the opportunity to bridge perceptual gaps and find cultural commonalities.

One of the things about the Olympics that I did not realize prior to Rio was how, in addition to the Olympics logos, the only other logo you’ll really see when the events are televised (and spectated in person) is the Omega logo. Given that millions upon millions of people view the Olympics each time it is held, the fact that the Omega Replica Watches logo is presented as part of many things related to timing and measuring must be hugely positive for the Swiss watch brand. So much so that I can only imagine the intense pressure from other major partners and sponsors of the Olympics also wanting their names to be displayed in a manner even modestly similar to that enjoyed by Omega.

With that said, Omega has a variety of goals in their ongoing work with the Olympics that are in addition to ensuring timing is both fair and accurate. These goals include connecting with consumers and athletes alike. People sometimes forget that athletes and people known for performance are an incredibly important part of the appeal of many sports watches. Athletes are watch consumers too, and Omega actually awards each of the US athletes who qualifies to compete in the Olympics their entry-level 38.5mm Seamaster Aqua Terra quartz watch that retails under $3,000. Omega Replica is giving them a taste of a brand that they will hopefully become fans of for the long term, and rewards their participation in the events with a timepiece to start their journey of timepiece appreciation.

To frame the Rio 2016 Olympic games, I want to focus on my favorite limited edition (among several) for this year’s Olympics, which is the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Rio 2016 Limited Edition reference 522.30.41.20.01.001 watch. Until now, I’d never actually worn an Omega Seamaster 300M timepiece – even though it remains one of Omega’s most popular watches. Originally released in 1993, the modern-day Omega Seamaster Diver 300M has since undergone changes and was most well-known for being an iconic James Bond watch (among many). Pierce Brosnan famously wore one when playing 007 in the film Goldeneye. Omega also readily admits that, despite not actually marketing the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, it remains a very important product for the brand. In wearing the watch, I think I’ve figured out part of why that is.

1632
I mentioned the Rolex Submariner for a reason, and that is because the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M is really Omega’s primary competitor to “the luxury dive watch to beat.” The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M is modest in proportions and has a pleasant, medium size on the wrist. It is a touch larger than the Submariner and thinner than pretty much all the other Omega dive watches. Omega does produce a 39mm-wide version of the Cheap Omega Replica Seamaster Planet Ocean, but those are easily thicker than the relatively svelte lines of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M which does have a relatively thin profile on the wrist compared to most of the brand’s other sport watches.
