WHY THIS WATCH

Something Bold 

 

The Avenger series was released by Breitling in 2001. The aim of the Avenger line was to release a bolder, more extreme version of the Chronomat. Since its release in 2001, the Avenger line has provided an option for those collectors looking for a muscular case, with bold and robust styling. True to form, the Avenger carries inside it Breitling's decades old aviation tradition.  

 

3 Timezones!

 

There's a few things that set this Avenger apart from the pack. The first, is that this is truly a travelers watch, with a useful 24 Hour 2nd Timezone hand that is easily adjusted through a turn of the crown. A third Timezone is easy to set as well, with a bi-directional rotating bezel. 

The other thing I'll mention is the size of the watch. This watch has a great diameter to thickness ratio - surprising, given its 300m water resistance.  It's only 12.2mm thick, which is an oddity given most of the Avenger line is 14-16mm thick. The slimness of the case makes this avenger very wearable for long travels. The diameter is 43mm, so you won't forget it's on your wrist. 

Wrist Impressions

This watch fits way different than the big clunky Avenger watches I'm used to. This is way slimmer than what I'm used to for a Breilting. The 2nd Timezone hand is so easy to set, with one pull of the crown. The rest of it is classic Breitling, including the Bracelet, Bezel, and that signature non-slip crown. I can see myself traveling a lot with this watch. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is guaranteed 100% Authentic Breitling. Watch was purchased from an Authorized Breitling Dealer in 2017 and was worn sparingly. .

The case is showing only very light wear, around 93%-95%. The movement is running strong and keeping excellent time. The watch comes with the Outer White Box, Inner Breitling Box, Manuals, Tag, and Warranty Card.

WHY THIS WATCH

Inspiration from the Past

 

In the 1950's diving was starting to become a more popular sport around the world. It was at this time in 1957 that Breitling released the SuperOcean Chronograph, reference 807. The reference 807 was designed for divers who needed a hearty and reliable watch for their underwater explorations. The SuperOcean line was water resistant to 200m, which was huge at the time. They also carried a distinctive style, including triangle shaped hands as well as circular/triangular hour markers. Breitling has carried the inspiration from this model to today, with this 44mm DLC Coated Superocean Chronograph. 

Ceramic At Last with a Great Calibre

 

Unlike older SuperOceans, this one replaces the standard (and very scratchable) aluminum bezel with a hearty, scratch proof Ceramic Bezel. 

Inside this beast we have a Breitling In-House Calibre B20, which has a 70 hour power reserve, bi-directional automatic rotor, quickset date, and hacking seconds. The hacking seconds feature is important as it stops the second hand when you pull the crown, enabling you to set the time to the exact second. You'd be surprised at how many modern manufactured movements don't hack! I'll also mention that this movement is Chronometer rated, which is a certification handed to movements that meet strict timing and functional standards. Breilting has really stepped up it's movements in recent years, and has come a long way from the off-the-shelf ETAs of the past. 

          Wrist Impressions

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. Blue strap, Blue dial, Blue bezel, aesthetically this is a divers watch. The Ceramic bezel is okay, even though I have seen better executions, it will do the job and be scratch free. I love these mesh style rubber straps, and I love how Breilting has put a micro-adjust into the deployment. I can get the perfect fit every time. This watch is very legible due to the special hour hand. This watch would make a great daily wearer for someone with big wrists. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is guaranteed 100% Authentic Breitling. Watch was purchased from an Authorized Breitling Dealer in 2018 and was worn sparingly. The watch is still under Breitling Warranty until Mid-2023, all you do have to do is take the electronic warranty card (included) and the watch into Breitling if you have any issues.

The case is showing only very light wear, around 93%-95%. The movement is running strong and keeping excellent time. The Rubber strap was barely worn, almost new. The watch comes with the Outer White Box, Inner Breitling Box, Manuals, Tag, and Warranty Card. Comes on the Rubber Strap with the Factory Breitling Deployment.

WHY THIS WATCH 

Released in 2002 as a homage to the Speedy Pro, the Omega Speedmaster ref. 3551.20 is inspired by the Broad Arrow Speedmasters of the past. The idea behind this Speedy was to make a Speedmaster that had some attributes of the old broad arrow speedmasters, but with some modern twists. With it's laser engraved tachymeter, broad arrow hands, and a case that is identical to the Speedmaster professional, this watch is borrowing a lot from it's past. The creme dial with fire-blued hands is where this watch begins to differentiate itself from the older references. Also, the movement used here is not the manually wound movement we are used to seeing in Speedmasters but instead an automatic Calibre 3303.  

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is in overall excellent condition with normal wear from normal use. Most of the wear is on the bezel. The sides of the case and the lugs are clean with only very minor wear. The curved sapphire crystal is clean. The chronograph calibre is running strong, keeping good time, and resetting to zero. The factory Omega bracelet is in great condition with minor marks, and will fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist (more links available upon request if you have a bigger wrist). Comes with Box and Papers, as pictured, including original warranty card. Note the box is missing the pillow. Watch is from 2003.

Breitling has carried the inspiration from this model to today, with this 44mm DLC Coated Superocean Chronograph. 

DLC Love

 

This watch is 44mm in diameter with a DLC coated steel case, and limited edition green dial with black eye sub-registers. This watch is big and bold, and isn't shy about showing it. Because the watch comes on a mesh style rubber strap that is extremely comfortable, it's wearable despite being 44mm and over 15mm thick. I'll also mention the Rubber strap comes with a micro-adjust feature on the deployment, assuring the perfect fit as your wrist expands and contracts. 

Bullet-Proof Calibre

 

In the past, Breitling watches have used off-the-shelf ETA Calibres for most of their movements. In 2009, Breitling announced it's first in-house chronograph movement after 5 years of Research and Development. The B01 is a column-wheel self-winding chronograph with a vertical coupling system which eliminates hand-jumping when the chronograph is activated. The movement also utilizes an index regulating system inside the movement which allows for easy rate adjustment. It's got 70 hours of Power Reserve off of a single barrel. In terms of finishing, this movement is nicely finished but don't expect it to be at the level of a Patek or AP. We've got the standard Cotes De Geneve, Circular Finishing, and diamond-polished bevels. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. The Green Dial has a very nice shimmer to it, especially in direct light. The DLC coating makes this mostly a sporty watch that would be hard to dress up. Working the chronograph, you can really tell the in-house movement was worth it, with stop start and reset of the chronograph on a different level. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is Guaranteed 100% Authentic. Watch is under Breitling Factory Warranty until 2026. Only 250 examples of this watch were made and the watch is sold out everywhere. Watch is in in Near Mint Condition. The Bezel, Case and Strap are all mint condition. The only wear is on the deployment clasp, which has some normal wear (see pictures). This watch comes with the full set of Box and Papers including tag, manuals, and warranty card. Please note, serial numbers are blurred out for pictures only. We only sell watches with the full serial number intact.

WHY THIS WATCH

Cousin of the DateJust

 

Introduced in 1950, the Rolex Date is considered the close cousin of the Rolex Datejust (introduced in 1945). These two models were created 5 years apart, and ran alongs-side one another, sharing major updates to the movements and cases. This particular model, the 150XX series, started in 1980 and introduced some refinements to the Rolex Date Lineup. 

Quickset Date and High Beat Calibre

 

This watch features the Rolex 3035 movement which introduced a high-beat frequency of 28,800 vph. Besides being more accurate, a high-beat movement also shows off the signature seconds hands sweep that Rolex is known for. The most important feature of the Rolex 3035 is the Quickset date, which allows the user to set the date via a second position of the crown. 

Neo-Vintage

 

With it's acrylic crystal, lug holes, and raised gold-peg markers, this watch has a ton of vintage charm. You're still getting Rolex 80's build quality, and the quickset date, so it's just modern enough to not be a hassle on the wrist. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist, this is the perfect uni-sex watch, as watch sizes are coming full circle and both men and women prefer 34-36mm watches. The jubilee bracelet is absolutely the way to go here. It just sits perfectly on the wrist and gives the right amount of contrast. The calibre 3035 just seems bullet-proof, with a still-crisp date change click. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Serial number on the lugs places this watch from 1981. The watch, including the factory Champagne, Gold Peg dial and crown is all authentic Rolex parts. The watch is in overall good condition, with wear all around, consistent with a 20+ year old watch. Scratches on the case mostly, see pictures. The Jubilee bracelet does have stretch, however this does effect the wearability of the watch. The bracelet will fit a 6.5 inch wrist. Movement is running strong, was serviced 3 years ago, is keeping excellent time, and is free from any mechanical issues. The crystal has been buffed and is clean. The watch does not come with box or papers.

WHY THIS WATCH

This beautiful chronograph has hands inspired by the batons of an orchestra conductor. It's topped with a gorgeous blue dial that has a wonderful sheen, especially in direct light. At 41mm, this watch fits more like a 40mm due to the compact lugs. Inside we have the Hamilton H-21 chronograph movement, which has an extended power reserve of 60 hours.

WHY THIS WATCH

This watch was made in a limited run of 2000 pieces to commemorate Carl Brashear, the first African American to qualify as a NAVY diver and the first amputee to qualify as a US NAVY diver. 

This watch is based on the very popular Diver's 65 aesthetic, and comes in an all-bronze case. At 40mm in diameter, 13.3mm thick, 48mm lug to lug, and with a 20mm lug width this watch will fit mosts wrists and slip under any cuff. The caseback shows a nice engraving of a vintage divers helmet, alongside a quote by Carl Brashear. This case is water resistant to 100m. 

Dial-Side, the first thing that pops out is the crystal, which is actually a highly curved sapphire crystal, though it looks like an acrylic. You get the best of both worlds here, with the scratch resistance of sapphire and vintage look of an acrylic. Gold plated  markers are used on to outline the beautiful deep blue gloss dial. The 120 click bezel is also bronze, and uni-directional with lume on the numerals. 

Inside we have the calibre 401, which is automatic winding, 5 day power reserve movement. This is no run of the mill movement. There's 2 mainsprings here, giving you 5 days of power, which is a few days more than a standard movement. The balance wheel is silicone, and tuned to -3 +5 seconds per day at the factory, which is within COSC specs. 

This is so such a great watch for the money. You're getting an all bronze case, housing a movement that is not at all run of the mill. The fact that this is limited to 2000 pieces will also help resale value.  

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is Like New - was purchased New in 2021 and was only tried on, but never worn. It comes with the Outer Box, Inner Box and Manuals and Warranty Card.

Two Tone Love

 

This watch is 44mm in diameter with a Two Tone 18k Rose Gold and Steel case, and limited edition Grey Dial with black eye sub-registers. This watch is big and bold, and isn't shy about showing it. Because the watch comes on a mesh style rubber strap that is extremely comfortable, it's wearable despite being 44mm and over 15mm thick.

Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist this is a large watch, that wears a touch smaller due to the comfortable Rubber Strap. The Grey dial has a very nice shimmer to it, especially in direct light. The Two Tone case makes this a dressy option, but it's still a big beefy chrono so it can pull off a sportier look as well. Working the chronograph, you can really tell the in-house movement was worth it, with stop start and reset of the chronograph on a different level. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is in Like Condition with Box and Papers, and was only tried on at our store, with only some minor wear on the deployment (see pics) from handling. Watch is currently under Breitling Warranty. Watch is limited to 200 pieces.  Watch Retails for $9,450.

WHY THIS WATCH

Inspiration from the Past

 

Longines does a great job of doing remakes of vintage references that are very close in the look and feel of the original, while providing modern build quality and finish. The Legend Diver is part of the Heritage Collection, and is based on the original Legend Diver introduced in the 1950s, the reference 7042. This vintage reference utlilized a "Super Compressor" case for it's water resistance. The case manufacturer Ervin Piquerez SA (EPSA), patented the "Super Compressor" in 1956. The Super Compressor uses water pressure to expand the water resistance. The deeper the watch goes, the tighter the back seals against the gasket.  Longines was not the only brand using the Super Compressor design. Jaeger-LeCoultre, Universal Genève, IWC, Longines and Wittnauer were all using this innovation. EPSA ceased production of the Super Compressor case in the 1970s. 

Very Close to the Original

 

At 42mm in diameter, this watches dimensions are very close to the original. The hands, dial and crowns are also very close to the original. Notice the hash marks on the crowns, and the diver etched on the backside, design details borrowed from the 7042. Dial-Side we have a very clean black lacquered dial with patches of lume on the hour makers. One of the few areas where this watch departs from the original is the addition of a date window, which the 7042 did not have. This watch has two crowns, one of which rotates the internal diving bezel, the other is used to adjust the time and date. 

Bullet-Proof Calibre

 

Inside we a modified ETA caliber 2824-2 which is perhaps one of the most well-known and most recognized movements in the watch industry. It has been in production since 1982. The “-2” indicates that it is the 2nd generation of the movement. The 2824 is considered to be a “workhorse” movement by many watch enthusiasts. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist this watch wears smaller but looks larger than the 42mm would suggest. It wears a bit smaller due to the lug and case design, and looks larger due to the lack of a bezel outside of the inner diver ring. This is a great daily wearer with a clean simple design that can be enjoyed in a more formal setting or in the water.  

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is in excellent condition with wear from normal use. Case has some small scratches from normal wear, and is around 9/10. The leather band comes on the factory Longines deployment and has some wear on it, though it still has plenty of life left, around 7/10. Comes with the large Longines box and Longines book of Exploits only.

WHY THIS WATCH

The Bear is Back!

 

Every year, Oris releases a Limited Edition run of watches to celebrate Holstein, the village Oris was founded in and still works out of today. The Holstein collection is one that usually sells out pretty quickly and collectors look forward to. This 2021 Holstein watch is limited to a run of 250 watches. 

Inspired by the Original Big Crown 

 

This watch has vintage feels, taking inspiration from the original Oris Big Crown from 1938. The case is the perfect size for a neo-vintage piece, at 38mm, the case is both polished and brushed. Dial-side we have a Matte Grey dial, showing a very nice pointer date complication. I've always been a fan of pointer dates, as I feel they maintain the symmetry of the dial. Flip the watch over and you get a nice engraving of the Oris Bear mascot. 

Bullet-Proof Calibre

 

Inside we have an ORIS Calibre 403, which has a longer than usual 5 day power reserve, and one of the best warranties in the business of 10 years. It's worth mentioning that the calibre this is based on, the Oris 400 is known to be a very reliable and bulletproof calibre. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

I've always loved matte grey dials and straps, and this watch is no exception. There's just enough color here with a touch of red at 6PM for the seconds hand. The pointer date is truly useful and easy to read. At 38mm this watch is going to fit almost anyone perfectly. The big crown makes a statement but doesn't get in the way. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased in 2021 and comes with the full set of box and papers including warranty card. Watch is Brand New, never worn. Watch is reference 01 403 7776 4083 and is limited to 250 pieces.

WHY THIS WATCH

Less is More

 

Here's a surprise: Nomos has produced a high end watch in a noble metal. Nomos has always excelled at providing simple, Bauhaus inspired watches with great mechanical movements. While the Lux is new to the Nomos line, the design formula is the same one Nomos has been following for the last 22 years. 

Bauhaus All The Way

 

At first glance the Lux is a simple, time only model that utilizes a new Tonneau case shape. The case is all white gold, with beautiful wire lugs, and case dimensions of 40mm by 36mm by 9mm. The real showstopper is when you flip the watch over and get a view of the stunning, manually wound calibre DUW 2002 (more on that later). Dial side we have a gorgeous, Bauhaus inspired central dial, with a lighter color backdrop. The backdrop really frames the central dial and sub-seconds hand in a way only Nomos can pull off. 

High Level Watchmaking in disguise 

 

The real highlight of this watch is the in-house calibre DUW 2002. This is a full in house, 23 jewel hand would movement with 84 hours of power reserve. The first thing that hits your eye when you flip the watch over is the sunburst pattern on the three quarter plate. This "fine sunbeam polish", is like a traditional Cotes De Geneve pattern on steroids. Peering deeper into the movement we see that Nomos didn't pull any punches. Beveled edges, thermally blued screws, and gold chatons, abound. To top it off we have an engraved balance cock, with "Lovingly produced in Glashutte" etched by hand. This movement is stunning to behold and wind, and truly offers the best of German watchmaking. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

On the wrist this watch does what Nomos does best - effortless, pretentious free elegance. The older I get, the more attracted I become to simple, hassle free dials. The white gold adds a nice heft to the watch, allowing it to sit flat on your wrist without jumping around, and without being too heavy. In terms of fit, I would say this watch fits like a 39mm-40mm watch. The movement is a joy to behold and wind, so much so that I wish the power reserve duration was a bit shorter than half a week. The shell cordovan strap is perfectly proportioned, with a nice taper and a very nicely designed buckle. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased in 2021 and comes with the full set of box and papers including stamped warranty card. Watch is Like New, and only has very minor wear from handling at our storefront, around 98%.

WHY THIS WATCH

THE LITTLE DETAILS

WHY THIS WATCH

Razor Thin, unique and One of a Kind

 

Jaeger Le-Coultre has been known for it's mastery of ultra-thin mechanical pieces since the early 1900s. JLC mastery is in full frame with this Vintage Inspired Ultra thin mechanical watch released in 100 pieces for The King's Man movie.   

Impossibly Thin Movement

 

This watch is only 4.2mm thick and was inspired by an ultra-thin pocket watch from 1907, nicknamed The "Le Couteau" which means "the knife". This movement has a pocket watch architecture and is composed of 123 components and is assembled by the same watchmakers that are in charge of JLCs grand complications. The 849 is not only thin but also known for it's reliability. 

Slim Case

 

The movement is housed in an all Pink-Gold 40mm case. At 4.25mm, this watch is beyond thin. You won't have to worry about this watch slipping under any cuff. Just as interesting is the winding crown at 12. There's a vintage style bow that covers the winding crown that was inspired by the original pocket watch. The bow is angled towards the lugs, so it doesn't stick out in front of the case. I was worried about how easy it would be to wind such a crown. I'll say this is probably the easiest winding watch I've ever laid fingers on. The bow acts like a perfect holder for your finger and the crown is very free flowing. 

Wrist Impressions

 

This watch is an easy choice for a standout dress watch that no-one else has. On the wrist, this watch cuts such an elegant and seamless profile. The bow at 12 really makes this watch look and feel special, and isn't obtrusive at all. The watch is a joy to wind, and the dial is refreshingly simple. The gator band is one of the most supple ones we have handled. 

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is #1 out of 100. Watch was purchased from an JLC AD in 2021 and is Brand New, never worn. It is under JLC's warranty until 2029. It comes with the full set of box and papers.
