We’re not sure what Zoom-Zoom has to do with great watches, but this unique timepiece may have the chops to stand on its on. Great big case, nicely finished 7750 in the back. And, because it’s a Sinn, it will surely be well made, accurate and reliable. Check out the review of this Mazda/Sinn creation over at our sister site, The Sporting Life.

Bell & Ross: Bringing Back Memories

June 20th, 2007 3 comments

James read my BR 01-92 review and posted this amazing comment:

My son gave me a BR01-94 and it looks just like the clock I had in the SR-71 Aircraft that I flew between July 68 to Jun 74. All my friends will see the watch at the Blackbird Reunion in Reno this month and I know the watch will bring back great flying moments flying the SR-71. I am a very proud owner of one of the greatest watches I have ever owned.
James H. Shelton, Jr Col. USAF Ret

Thanks for sharing, James. It’s rare to hear these kinds of stories and remind us what a well-made watch really is: a link to the past and a way forward into the future.

Hublot had me with the Big Bang for a while, but my interest is recently waning. However, I do like this amazing $80K Flying T, one of only 8 made.

Looks like the folks in Tirana, Albania REALLY like our president. So much, in fact, that they ganked his Ironman.

Review: Omega Speedmaster Day Date

I’m an Omega-lover to my core… not sure why, but over the few years I’ve been collecting, Omega has consistently excited and invited me without putting me off with odd designs and frou-frou styling. I wear my Seamaster Pro Chrono daily, rarely swapping it for other watches, and until it breaks or pulls me to the bottom of the ocean, that probably won’t change.

That said, I also like my Speedmaster Triple Calendar. I’ve had it for about a year now and didn’t write it up simply because I’m too lazy. However, it’s a real charmer.
