Ulysse Nardin, known for their exceptional marine chronometers, designed the Maxi Marine as a modern interpretation of their nautical legacy. With its striking, sporty appearance, the Maxi Marine boasts a range of features such as a power reserve indicator, date function, and chronometer certification. The watch's robust build and water resistance make it suitable for marine activities, while its intricate design details pay homage to the brand's history. The Maxi Marine exemplifies Ulysse Nardin's dedication to precision, functionality, and style.

The Ulysse Nardin 263-67 is part of the Maxi Marine Diver collection, introduced in the late 1990s as a modern tribute to Ulysse Nardin's maritime heritage. Since its founding in 1846, the brand has been renowned for its marine chronometers. The 263-67 combines this nautical legacy with a sporty, contemporary design, boasting a wave-patterned dial, a 42.7mm stainless steel case, and a unidirectional rotating bezel. Equipped with the UN-26 caliber, a COSC-certified automatic movement, the watch offers precise timekeeping, a date function, and a power reserve indicator. The 263-67 is a perfect fusion of Ulysse Nardin's storied past and innovative present, designed for marine enthusiasts and watch connoisseurs alike.

The Ulysse Nardin 263-67, a Maxi Marine Diver model, stands out for its striking design and exceptional functionality. Its 42.7mm stainless steel case, combined with the eye-catching Roman dial and unidirectional rotating bezel, exudes a cool, sporty aesthetic. The watch offers a power reserve indicator, date display, and COSC-certified chronometer status, showcasing Ulysse Nardin's commitment to precision and reliability.

The 263-67 perfectly blends form and function, demonstrating the brand's rich maritime history and innovative watchmaking expertise in a modern, stylish package.

The Ulysse Nardin 263-67 houses the UN-26 caliber, a self-winding automatic movement based on the reliable ETA 2892-A2. This modified movement features 28 jewels, a 42-hour power reserve, and COSC certification. Enhanced with a power reserve indicator and date function, the UN-26 reflects Ulysse Nardin's commitment to precision and functionality.

On the wrist, this watch wears a touch smaller than its 43mm diameter would suggest, due to the short, downward-facing lugs. With the leather strap installed, this is the perfect wear-anytime watch as it can be worn on formal or sporty occasions. There are not a lot of bezels here, so the watch is pretty much all dial, making it very easy to read. This is a great everyday watch, from a severely underrated brand.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is in excellent condition, having recently received a cleaning/oiling by our watchmaker. The watch runs without any issues, the power reserve increases with manual winding, and the date changes at midnight. The case has mild wear, no deep gashes or deep scratches, around 9/10. The factory Ulysse Nardin leather strap is also in excellent condition, with some normal wear, but has most of its life left, around 8/10 (LUG Width is 23mm). The watch comes on the factory Ulysse Nardin deployment buckle. The watch comes with the factory box, no papers.

At 46MM this watch wears true to size, and is large on my 6.5-inch wrist, though the factory Milanese Bracelet makes it surprisingly comfortable.

SOLD OUT: NOMOS LUX Ref. 942 TONNEAU 38.5 x 34mm White Gold Box Papers

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

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.

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 caliber 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.

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.

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

This watch was purchased brand new in 2021 and was worn very sparingly by its owner. I would say the case is around 95%. The watch comes with the original cordovan strap (around 8/10) with the factory buckle. The watch comes with a box and papers, including a warranty card.

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST stands out for its distinctive design, blending the iconic Royal Oak's octagonal bezel with a bold "Méga Tapisserie" dial and chronograph function. Its 42mm stainless steel case offers robustness and presence, while the variety of dial colors and strap options provide versatility for various styles.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26170ST houses the Calibre 3126/3840, an automatic movement with 59 jewels and a 50-hour power reserve. This movement features AP's signature design, harmonious bridges, hand-finished components, an angular balance cock, a 22K gold rotor with family crests, ceramic ball bearings, a balance with 8 variable inertia blocks, and polished gear train components with gold-plated, patterned non-functional surfaces.

Being the bigger, beefier cousin of the traditional Royal Oak, this watch doesn't let you forget it's on your wrist. I really like white dial Royal Oaks, and this one's got a sporty side, with touches of red throughout. The bracelet on this watch is what AP has become known for supremely finished and supremely comfortable. With the market price of the traditional royal oak in the stratosphere, these offshores are becoming more desirable by the day.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Omega Seamaster, introduced in 1948, is a renowned line of dive watches from Swiss watchmaker Omega. Inspired by waterproof wristwatches made for the British military, the Seamaster has evolved over the decades, featuring improved water resistance and design enhancements. Notable models include the Seamaster 300, Planet Ocean, and Aqua Terra. The Seamaster gained global recognition as James Bond's watch in the 1990s, solidifying its status as an iconic timepiece.

The Omega Seamaster 300m Liquidmetal 233.30.41.21.01.001, released in 2014, honors the brand's heritage with a vintage-inspired design. Featuring a black ceramic bezel with Liquidmetal hour markers, anti-magnetic Master Co-Axial movement, and stainless steel case, this Seamaster pays homage to the original 1957 model while incorporating Omega's cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship.

The Omega Seamaster 300m Liquidmetal 233.30.41.21.01.001 is a special watch for its blend of heritage and innovation. With a vintage-inspired design reminiscent of 1957 original, it features advanced materials such as a ceramic bezel with Liquidmetal hour markers. Its anti-magnetic Master Co-Axial movement ensures precision, while the stainless steel case guarantees durability and style.

The Omega Seamaster 300m Liquidmetal 233.30.41.21.01.001 features the Master Co-Axial Calibre 8400, known for its anti-magnetic properties and accuracy. This automatic movement is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gausses and has a 60-hour power reserve. Its Co-Axial escapement reduces friction, increasing service intervals and ensuring long-lasting performance.

On the wrist, this watch wears a touch bigger than its 41mm case size would suggest due to its thickness and lug construction. This watch has a thin bezel and is all dial (which I like). The dial is super legible, with the broad arrow pointing at the hours. Peering through the case back, this watch has a beautifully decorated Co-Axial movement.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch was purchased in 2019, worn a handful of times on a nato, and kept in its box. The entire watch is MINT save for some wear on the back of the lugs from strap changes. The bracelet was never worn. The watch comes with a box, manual, and pictogram card only. Watch retails for $6,800.

Heuer Autavia 7763C 40MM Vintage Racing Chronograph Black Steel 1968 - WearingTime Luxury Watches

SOLDOUT: Heuer Autavia 7763C 40MM Vintage Racing Chronograph Black Steel 1968

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Heuer Autavia, a blend of "Automotive" and "Aviation," was introduced in 1962 by Swiss watchmaker Heuer. Originally designed as a dashboard instrument for race cars and aircraft, it transitioned into a wristwatch under Jack Heuer's leadership. Autavia gained fame through its association with motorsport icons like Jo Siffert and Mario Andretti. Its innovative features, such as a rotating bezel and high legibility, made it popular among racing enthusiasts. The Autavia series was discontinued in 1986, but in 2017, TAG Heuer, the successor of Heuer, reissued the Autavia, celebrating its rich heritage and reaffirming its iconic status.

The Heuer 7763C is a vintage manual-wind chronograph watch from the 1960s. Part of the Heuer Carrera family, it represents Jack Heuer's vision of a clean, legible, and functional racing-inspired timepiece. Launched in 1963, the Carrera was named after the dangerous and thrilling Carrera Panamericana road race. The 7763C features a robust stainless steel case, a two-register chronograph layout, and a classic black dial with contrasting white sub-dials. Powered by the reliable Valjoux 7730 movement, the watch ensures accurate timekeeping and chronograph functionality. The Heuer 7763C is a perfect example of the brand's commitment to precision, performance, and timeless design during its early years.

The Heuer 7763C stands out through its combination of vintage design, motorsport heritage, and functionality. Its reverse-panda dial, with a black background and contrasting white sub-dials, adds an appealing visual element, while the compressor-style case lends a unique touch. The watch's legible layout and reliable Valjoux 7730 manual-wind movement make it highly functional. With these features, the Heuer 7763C has become a sought-after timepiece, resonating with collectors and those who appreciate the timeless style of vintage chronographs.

The Heuer 7763C houses the Valjoux 7730 manual-wind movement, a robust and reliable Swiss-made caliber. It features a two-register chronograph layout with small seconds sub-dial and a 30-minute counter. The 7730 was widely used in various Swiss chronographs during the 1960s and 70s, known for its dependability and ease of service.

On the wrist, I'd say this watch wears true to its 40mm size, if not a little larger due to the lug construction. I love wearing this watch while driving, as it is a racing watch and dial legibility is superb. Vintage Heuers saw a huge spike in prices a few years ago, but have come down a ton, making this a really great value for a vintage racing watch from the late 60s.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The watch is 11XXXX from 1968. The Valjoux manual winding movement has been cleaned and oiled by our watchmaker and is running strong. The chronograph resets to zero as it should. The dial is original, with very little lume left on the indices. The case is in vintage condition, with wear throughout. The original bezel is showing some normal wear as well. Comes on an aftermarket racing strap. No box or papers.

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The IWC Top Gun is a series of pilot watches from the International Watch Company (IWC), a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer. Launched in 2007, the Top Gun line is part of IWC's Pilot's Watch family, influenced by the elite United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, also known as TOPGUN. These timepieces blend IWC's watchmaking expertise with the high-performance requirements of fighter pilots. The Top Gun series features robust materials like ceramic and titanium, making them highly resistant to external stressors. Iconic models include the "Miramar" and "Mojave Desert," showcasing IWC's commitment to innovation and design in the watchmaking industry.

The IWC IW389001 is a specific model within the IWC Top Gun collection, first introduced in 2016.

The IWC IW389001 stands out due to its unique combination of style, functionality, and inspiration. Its design pays homage to the prestigious United States Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN), evoking a sense of adventure and elite performance. The use of high-quality materials, like a black ceramic case and titanium case back, offers durability and lightweight wearability. Its automatic, self-winding chronograph movement ensures precision and reliability. The black dial with luminescent hands and indices offers excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The IW389001's blend of aviation history, cutting-edge materials, and sophisticated design makes it a standout timepiece.

The IWC IW389001 features the in-house Calibre 89361, an automatic, self-winding movement with a 68-hour power reserve. This highly reliable and precise movement includes a chronograph function, date display, and flyback mechanism, allowing pilots and enthusiasts to measure time intervals with ease and efficiency while showcasing IWC's horological expertise.

On the wrist, the first thing you notice is how light this watch is for its 44.5mm diameter. I love how clean and legible this dial is. Compared to other Top Gun models I think this is the most desirable with the two sub-registered combined into one at the top. You can tell this is an in-house movement when you activate the chronograph or wind the watch. This watch is light, comfortable, and legible enough to be an everyday tool watch for me.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

The watch is from 2016 and is in overall excellent condition. The ceramic case has barely any wear and is around 9.5/10. The dark brown factory IWC strap was worn sparingly and is around an 8/10 with plenty of life left on it. The strap is affixed to a factory IWC deployment buckle. The watch is keeping excellent time and has zero mechanical issues with the chronograph resetting to zero. The watch comes with a box only, no papers.

SOLD OUT: Breitling Premier B25 Datora AB2510 42MM Chronograph Calendar Salmon Dial Steel Box and Papers 2022

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Breitling Premier, introduced in the 1940s, holds a special place in Breitling's history as the first line of elegant and sophisticated watches specifically designed for everyday wear. It marked a departure from Breitling's focus on functional, aviation-inspired timepieces. The Premier showcased Breitling's expertise in producing stylish, reliable, and precise wristwatches. In 2018, the brand revitalized the Premier collection, featuring models such as the Premier B01 Chronograph 42, Premier Automatic 40, and Premier Chronograph 42. These modern timepieces maintain the heritage of the original line while incorporating contemporary design elements and innovative technology.

The Breitling Premier B25 Datora 42 is a special watch that combines classic design with modern technology. The dial of the watch is clean and uncluttered, with a vintage-inspired design that adds to its appeal. The case is made from high-quality stainless steel and is water resistant up to 100 meters. Overall, the Breitling Premier B25 Datora 42 is a watch that combines style, functionality, and advanced features in a unique and sophisticated package.

The Breitling AB2510 features the in-house Caliber B25, an automatic chronograph movement. With 46 jewels, it boasts a power reserve of 48 hours and oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The B25 movement incorporates a column-wheel mechanism and a vertical clutch, ensuring precision and reliability in timekeeping.

On this wrist, this watch wears true to its 42mm sizing and has a lot of weight to it due to the 15mm thickness. The copper salmon dial feels like a special treat and is pretty legible despite the busyness of the dial. The dial's got everything I could need: a full calendar and a chronograph. I can tell Breilting spent a lot of time in R&D on this movement. Everything from the full calendar to how the crown winds and the pushers activate screams quality.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch was purchased in 2022 from an Authorized Breilting AD and comes with the full set of box and papers as seen in the pictures. The watch was worn only a handful of times and is in Near Mint Condition. This watch is registered and under Breitling factory warranty until 2027. The watch retails for $13,500.

SOLDOUT: NOMOS LUX 18K Solid White Gold Ref. 920 Tonneau 40mm In House Movement

$0.00

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 in excellent condition and was worn only sparingly around 93%.

SOLD OUT: Tudor Ranger 79950 39MM Black Dial Steel Box and Papers 2022

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

The Tudor Ranger was conceived in 1952, when a group of British explorers on a two-year expedition towards Greenland, tested 30 watches for TUDOR. Following the experiment, the Ranger Model was officially established in the 1960's. The model was named "Ranger" to emphasize it's ruggidness. The Ranger is the sister of the Rolex Explorer which dates back to 1953. As Tudor was designed to be a more accessible sister brand for Rolex, the Oyster Prince Ranger dates back to the mid-late '60s and it is in those models where we find the inspiration for both the modern Tudor Rangers.

The new 79950 Ranger is based on the preceding reference, the 79910 Heritage Ranger, which rain from 2014 to 2020. The 79910 was a bit of an oddball Tudor, with a 41mm steel case, a Tudor rose on the dial, and a red seconds hand. The new 79950 is more loyal to the original Ranger, albeit at 39mm. The 79950 Ranger was introduced in 2022 and is a 39mm steel field watch that measures 12mm thick and 47mm lug to lug with a brushed bezel, 20mm lugs, and a sapphire crystal up front.

This watch is powered by the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5402 (COSC) which is a Self-winding mechanical movement with bi-directional rotor system. This movement carries a Power reserve of approximately 70 hours

The 39mm size case feels just about right for my 6.5 inch wrist. What I love most about this watch is it's simplicity and overall legibility. The dial is uncluttered and this watch has no additional functions beyond the time. A true field watch with modern(ish) proportions, and a steller movement. Also worth noting that the rubber strap is supremely comfortable year round.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This is a 2022 Model purchased from an Authorized Dealer. The watch is Near Mint, with only some light wear on the back of the lugs from strap changes. The rest of the case including the sides is Mint. The sapphire crystal is flawless. The strap has been worn only a few times and is 95%. This watch comes with Tudor's OEM deployment buckle. Note that the watch does not come with the metal bracelet. The watch comes with box and papers, including a 2022 stamped Warranty Card. This watch is still under Tudor Warranty for 5 years from August 2022. The warranty is a fully transferable guarantee with no registration or periodic maintenance checks required.

OMEGA SEAMASTER 300m 2531.80 41mm Blue Wave Dial Automatic Chronometer Bond Goldeneye - WearingTime Luxury Watches

SOLDOUT: OMEGA SEAMASTER 300m 2531.80 41mm Blue Wave Dial Automatic Chronometer Bond Goldeneye

(0)

$0.00

WHY THIS WATCH

This OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph needs little introduction as the Omega Seamaster is one of the most recognizable watches in the world. This model, the ref. 2531.80, was introduced in 1993, and really gained fame when it was used in the James Bond movies since ‘GoldenEye’ (1995). Pierce Brosnan first had the quartz model on this wrist and later on the automatic version in the Bond series. The 2531 was in production from rougly 1993 until 2006. This watch was a smash hit that really propelled Omega into the realm of a true luxury watch manufacturer.

This watch is powered by the Omega caliber caliber 1109, (and later on with their caliber 1120). This movement is based on an ETA ebauche and was replaced by the co-axial powered 2220.80, making this model the last of ETA base Omega Seamasters. While some prefer the co-axial because of it's ingenuity, I find them hard and expensive to service and prefer the simplicty of an ETA base.

One the wrist this watch wears true to it’s 41mm size, though it wears well since it's a relatively flat case. It's rare to see a watch this thin with a 300m depth rating. This is one of rare cases where a diver watch can be a comfortable every day wearer. The Blue Wave dial is large with beautiful print, delicious lume points, and is super legible, due to all these factors as well as the skeleton hands. II'm lukewarm about the look of the bracelet, but there's no deying how comfortable it is. This watch takes to straps very well and I find myself wearing this watch on a grey or black goat-skin leather strap more often than the bracelet. This is a really beautiful, but understated watch that can easily slide into anyones rotation as a daily wearer. I do prefer it over it's more modern, co-axial/ceramic bezel siblings, as I appreciate the patina that the aluminum bezel develops over time, and also find that the ETA based movement is very easy to service at your local watchmaker.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch is 60m serial number, making it a 1999 watch. The watch is in overall excellent condition with some minor wear throughout the case bracelet and bezel. The case is very clean, with only very minor wear, around 9/10. The bezel has some patina and light wear, around 8/10. Bracelet is pretty clean around 9/10. The movement is running strong and keeping excellent time, though the service history is unknown. Comes with the pictured box and manuals only. No papers.

WHY THIS WATCH

Many see the Cartier Santos, which was introduced by Louis Cartier in 1904, as the first purpose designed men’s wrist watch. The Santos had a very revolutionary asthetic at the time it was released, with it's square case and visible screws on the bezel, it had a downrigth industrial look, during an era where that wasn't popular. Do these design elements remind you of anything? 70 years later Gerald Genta would borrow some of these design elements for the Audemars Piquet Royal Oak, a legendary watch in it's own right. The Santos has remained a mainstay in Cartier’s collection ever since its introduction more than a century ago.

This particular example is a Santos Carree from the 1980's. It measures 29mm across, and I would say it wears like a 36-38mm watch. On the wrist this watch exudes a 1980's Neo-Vintage vibe that I love. The watch falls beautifully around the wrist due to the integrated bracelet. I love how the explosed screws in the bracelet are arranged erradictly. This is very comfortable and versatile every piece that I can compare to a Rolex reference 1603. Jeans and brunch, coctail hour, business dinner, this watch just feels right at home almost anywhere.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

Watch is from the 1980's and is in overall excellent condition, with some light wear on the case and bracelet. I would give the case a 9/10, with most of the wear being on the gold bezel. The bracelet is in excellent shape, having received a light polish, around 9/10 as well. The watch recenetly received a full overhaul and service by a watchmaker, and is keeping excellent time. The watch comes with box only, no papers. Please note the box is authentic Cartier but belongs to a different model.
