Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante |
|
| The case of new Regatta has an unusual new design, different from the
2008 edition; the steel is no longer polished but blackened with a treatment
called DLC (Diamond-Like-Carbon) that makes it even harder and more
resistant, in particular to corrosion. The Luminor case measures 44mm in
diameter and DLC treatment has also been extended to the three buttons,
winding crown and lever bridge. Waterproof to 100 metres (10 bars), this
watch has a screwdown back plate, which is burnished and engraved with
the event logo, edition year and the model's identifying numbers and
production number. The dial, covered by 2-mm thick anti-reflective
sapphire glass, has a black clou de Paris background. The new Luminor
1950 Regatta Rattrapante has a leather strap with burnished buckle
bearing the Panerai logo. |

Raymond Weil
Nabucco Rivoluzione |
The Swiss watchmaker marked Baselworld
2009 with the launch of a new,
exceptional model from this exclusively
masculine range -- Nabucco
Rivoluzione. It is marked by black,
the colour of luxury, refinement,
mystery and power. The sleek,
46mm-diameter case with its circular
bezel and tachometer, is made from
steel and titanium to ensure resistance
and endurance. Ultra-light, hi-tech
carbon fibre is used to decorate the
case sides, providing solidity in addition
to its stylish appearance. The dial
of this mechanical timepiece also exudes
a mysterious, avant-garde feel,
which can be admired beneath a sapphire
crystal, 2.5mm thick, with double-
sided anti-glare treatment. Coated
in black, the three subdials (30-minutes
at 3 o'clock, 12-hours at 6 and
60-seconds at 9), along with the datewindow
at 4:30, are positioned on a
central zone in relief embellished
with three screws for optimum clarity.
The indexes are perfectly integrated
into the darkness of the dial; only the
blue hands of the subdials, and the
blue chronograph-hand, dare provide
a contrast. |

Tissot
T-Touch Expert Pilot |
|
|
| In the Tissot T-Touch Expert Pilot watch, the aviation inspiration is
evident in both a cockpit-style dial and a compass-look bezel. A touch
of the crown and scratchproof crystal gives access to 11 separate
functions. The large titanium case hosts a sporty rotating bezel
equipped with full compass markings. Cockpit style expresses itself via
the backcloth of a carbon dial, or for those seeking a touch of
elegance, there is a sleek black dial. The watch is available with a fully
integrated brown leather strap, the ideal complement to a traditional
flying jacket. Alternatively, a titanium bracelet gives a high-tech look.
This watch is the perfect co-pilot for active wearers. |
