Just three pics, of the limited edition in gold, with a gorgeous baked enamel dial, and the unlimited version in titanium and steel, that features a modernized dial and hands layout. Both equipped with the new in-house cal. 118 movement with DiamonSil esc...
We were waiting for this one for a very long time, and here it is. The movement seems to be fantastic. Can you confirm that the Cal 160 is out, at the benefit of the Cal 118? The only problem I have is the presence of the Date... I would much have preferr...
... as I have written elsewhere, I am sick at home, and it is possible that I won't make it to Basel. So I will not have the chance to handle the actual watch right now. Yes, the cal. 160 is out, and, well, the Anniversary is most likely to be the only wa...
I agree with you on the size... 43 mm would have been better. As for the date, I guess this is something I can live with. Any idea on the retail of the titanium? Get better, my friend, and thanks for your efforts, despite you are sick. Best, Nicolas
Are they going to sell it with a gymbal mount for deck-use as well? The new movement is good news, I was afraid it was going to be the "Chinese Democracy" of movements, and UN was going to keep holding awaiting it A
I have been very excited to see the caliber 118 piece and here it is. I certainly had a different design in my mind. The titanium/steel version, while unlimited and available, fails for me on aesthetics. What an opportunity to create a modern chronometer ...
... with the Maxi Marine Chronometer, that was not available with Romans. The later, again larger Chronometer with Romans came but some years ago. However, I would not entirely dismiss the new Chronometer based on the first production variant only. We all...
I suspect I will have a caliber 118 piece one day as new variations are released. I just expected more out of this release. I think back to how exciting the first shots you posted of the 160 were. Not just the movement, but the entire watch. Here I see th...
I really like this watch and I would like to sum up in a few words the pros and cons I felt: pros: - the size: yes, I found it perfect. A big size is coherent for a "Marine Chronometer" watch and moreover, the "lugs" are short and improve the comfort on t...
I think this limited edition chronometer is absolutely gorgeous. The bilingual description of the power reserve is weird, indeed. Thankfully, the unlimited versions with the modern dial do not have this, but simply show a red zone for the low power reserv...
In your post above, you wrote: "cons: ... - power reserve indicator in both langages: come on guys, you are not serious! Write everything in french or in english but don't write it twice!" In my reply, I agreed: "The bilingual description of the power res...
But to be historically correctn the new Marine Chronometer, as the others, by the way, should be ... Dateless! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-03-29 13:37:29
