It’s time for us to have another hands-on review of a Timex piece, once again from their Intelligent Quartz line. As you can tell from the post title, this particular watch was quite the title (and set of functionality). Let’s have a look at what sets this one apart, shall we?
I was quite intrigued when I came across news of a new model from the folks at Ocean7. It seems they’ve brought forth a new Pilot Chronograph, and it’s offering quite a great bang for your buck.
I ran across an interesting British /Swedish brand, the Triwa company. It looks to me like their whole line is quite affordable; in particular, their Neville line caught my eye.
If you’re going to be out until all hours of the night, you might as well have one that’s as dark as midnight, right? If you’re on board with that Sentiment, then today’s Skagen is a good candidate for you.
While I perusing the ol’ WristWatchReview, the Amazon widget (yeah, that one over there on the right) caught my eye, and I kept an eye on what was scrolling through. The Tissot PRC200 that came up caught my eye, and here we are at today’s post.
And now it’s time for that promised closer look at the Jorg-Gray 6500. Unlike the model that President Obama sports, we’re taking a look at the bronze finish variant (hence the -31 suffix).
At least, you can now that Graham has just released their Chronofighter Oversize GMT Black Steel (does oversize refer just to the case, or the model name as well?) This watch has a lot going on with it.
That is, if you really want to – and you happen to write with a MontBlanc. As I learned from Ariel’s post, they’re actually now available for purchase online. This is great for a couple of reasons. You can be assured of being able to peruse the whole collection from the comfort of your own home AND you’ll know how much you’re going to pony up for your purchase.
Now, let’s turn our attention to the one that grabbed my eye. Read more…
I know, I know – it’s yet another mother-of-pearl dial. Just bear with me here, because this is actually one I’m not sure that works so well. And given that it’s coming from Omega makes me all the more surprised.
After taking a look at a few different bronze-encased watches (1,2,3), it’s not much of a stretch to say, hey, why not brass? And that’s what we have here today, courtesy of the Need Supply Co.
Either which way, Porsche Designs know how to make a good thing. And, just in case your taste in cars leans more towards them than Inifiniti, they have 
got a watch for you. From what research I’ve done, it appears that the Dashboard watch actually came into being ten years ago, and was inspired by the minimalist instrument cluster present in a 911 (their first watch, the Chronograph I, was created in 1972). A decade down the road, they thought it was time to refresh the model a bit. Read more…
Don’t like to think about being part of the Swiss Army? Then how about flying planes? If so (and you’re not looking for an American-made option) the Archimede Pilot Chronograph may
be more to your liking. Right off the bat, you can easily see you’re getting a clean, easy-to-read watch. But it’s not just good looks that you get with this watch – you’re getting some award-winning craftsmanship as well.
IWC is running a promotion they’re entitling “Money Can’t Buy Experiences” that gives you a chance to win one of two trips to a yacht race and an Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph. First off, the contest details:
Seiko is running an online contest right now, in anticipation of the launch of their new “Ananta Automatic Chronograph” in October. According to Seiko, the new chronograph pulls it’s styling from the katana sword, legendary weapon of the samurai. This gives the case a gentle curved look, along with a mirror polish finish.
At any rate, the contest ends on August 30th, and to enter you need to send a 15-45 second video to ilove@seiko-watch.co.jp. You can see what the other contestants are up to at Seiko’s YouTube channel. The winning submissions will be awarded a brand new Ananta chronograph, valued at $3,200.
If you tried to order a Steel Cake chrono lately, you might have noticed a slight problem: they’ve been out of stock. The good news is that we got an email from them today, and they have them back in stock again. We’ve mentioned them before, and we do like the looks of their products. They are also running a really great spring sale (only until May 1st, so hurry) on some of there other watches. Personally, I dig the black square chrono, but take a look of some of their other models. The black steel tag could be just the thing to round out your goth-punk-industrial outfit.
