The date is displayed at 6 o＊clock via a wheel that rotates around the entire peripheral of the dial and?is visible thanks to the open-worked construction. Water-resistance is 100 meters. (Ref.?87.9001.670/79.M9001)
Crafted from prestigious German silver, the openworked dial has a sandblasted black PVD treatment and polished rhodium-toned beveled openings, which both enhances contrast and accentuates the other details. White gold applied hour markers and Royal Oak hands, allow you to read the time, even in the dark. And the two baton-shaped central chronograph second hands, one with a red-lacquered tip and the other with a white tip, allow you to track two event times at once.

The A. Lange & S?hne Lange 1 Time Zone, introduced in 2005, featured a 41.9mm case that is 11.4mm thick and has a substantial 49.8mm lug-to-lug. It makes the Time Zone slightly wider and thicker than the regular 38.5mm Lange 1. The increased size results from the addition of the peripheral ring that holds all the 24 different cities to display the world times. So the designers did not meddle with the original proportions, and the added ring works perfectly to maintain the overall balance of the design. The case of the watch features the familiar three-layer construction that we know from other models with the notched lugs. Because of the bigger case size, the lug profile is curvier than on the regular model to ensure the watch sits well on your wrist.
It＊s not because I＊m Dutch that I like this bright orange Club Campus 38 (ref.729). No, it＊s mainly because I just like the all round character of the Club. It＊s more rounded than all the other Nomos models and that makes it more of a military than a Bauhaus type of watch 〞 more sporty too and less ※look I＊m a designer/architect/dentist/German IT-guy.§ The orange California dial with its Arabic and Roman numerals and indexes with white Super-LumiNova that glow blue in the dark makes it playful, quirky, laid-back, and fashionable all at the same time.
Do you think Fears should do more editions of the Brunswick 40, or is the 38mm case more suitable? Let your thoughts be heard in the comments!
Ball watches are fun because of their unique illumination. All Ball watches are illuminated by micro-gas tubes containing tritium. This technology is different from painted luminescence like Super-LumiNova because it emits light continuously and does not require sunlight to charge. The tubes glow brightly at night, even though they are not visible during the day. All hands and indices on the Marvelight Chronometer use micro-tube illumination, in green. The index at 12 o’clock glows yellow.
The big difference between the two is that the 4Hz Lemania 5100 has the chronograph minutes on the central axis along imitation watches with the seconds of the chronograph. And when you design the four central hands the way Silberstein did, that layout creates a real spectacle. Also, it is not that common anymore to see the 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, the small hacking seconds at 9, and the 24-hour indication at 12. The day and date indication at 3 o’clock may be traditional, but it doesn’t take anything away from the unusual layout.
Meanwhile, Omega has introduced several variations of this watch as well. Soon after its introduction, there was the Seamaster 300M Nekton, and at the end of 2019, Omega unveiled the Seamaster 300M “Bond” edition.
It just feels more sporty. The matte black dial with white hands gives it a lot of character. Then came the release of the new Speedmaster Professional. Iseriously, I started to doubt whether or not the FOiS would be the best choice for me on that new bracelet. It Tag Heuer swiss replica watches didn't help that I had seen the Speedmaster Professional several times since joining Fratello a month ago. I was no longer able to wear the FOiS.
