replica tag heuer Grand Carrera GMT Master II DayNight Watch

2014-06-18 14:01:32 | 日記

replica tag heuer Grand Carrera trickles out new watches each year with major innovations being released with relative rarity. Part of 2013 is about extending the GMT Master II watch by adding a new two-tone bezel (Ref. 116710BLNR) in the spirit of the famous GMT Master II Pepsi dial watches. The half-red and half-blue bezels of the past were used as day/night indicators for the GMT scale bezel. The look became iconic. aBlogtoWatch debuted the GMT Master II Day/Night watch to the world here recently (where you can find additional information).

For 2013, replica tag heuer Grand Carrera honors this classic look with a blue and black versus blue and red bezel - and this time it is in ceramic. Technically, the new ceramic replica tag heuer Grand Carrera bezel is impressive. You have a single piece ceramic insert produced in-house by replica tag heuer Grand Carrera that incorporates two colors. replica tag heuer Grand Carrera says that they use a patented process to produce the two colors. Speaking with replica tag heuer Grand Carrera they said that the bezel actually begins blue, and then somehow black is added later. The result is a perfect transition from one color to another.

Under a loupe I was able to see that the line between black and blue is perfect without any fuzziness or bleeding. Even if there was any color bleeding, most people wouldn't notice, but this is part of replica tag heuer Grand Carrera's rather famous attention to crisp details. The older bezels were produced from aluminum which could be printed. Though, aluminum bezel inserts are prone to wearing and scratching easily. Ceramic is clearly a better material and it is great to see replica tag heuer Grand Carrera finally releasing, in product form, some of the many processes and techniques that it has developed.

To compliment the rich blue tone of the bezel, replica tag heuer Grand Carrera uses a matching blue color for the length of the GMT hand on the dial. The result is a new looking GMT Master II that is a worthy addition to the product family. No, it isn't a revolutionary addition or change, but it does represent a new technology showing the know-how of replica tag heuer Grand Carrera, and offers a new, very good looking option to those who have not yet had a reason to include a GMT Master II into their collection. At this point replica tag heuer Grand Carrera has offered Franck Muller replica uk with ceramic colors in black, green, blue, and brown. What will be next?

Choosing between the replica tag heuer Grand Carrera GMT Master II and Submariner can be a difficult choice. Both watches are 40mm wide, with similar dials and cases. In many ways their prices overlap, and this new ref. 116710BLNR GMT Master II watch is about 550 Swiss Francs more than the Submariner Date ref. 116610LN (reviewed here). According to replica tag heuer Grand Carrera, the price premium for the new two-tone black and blue bezel is about 1,000 Swiss Francs (CHF) more than the standard ceramic bezel. The GMT of course has a second timezone (third if you count the rotating GMT scale on the bezel), while the Submariner has greater water resistance and the fantastic Glidelock deployant system on the bracelet. Choosing this new GMT Master II or Submariner Date can be a tough decision if you can only choose one.

There are minor differences between the Submariner and the GMT Master II, and I will not spell them all out here. However, another difference is the polish on the bracelet. The GMT Master II has a polished center link, and the Submariner has a fully brushed steel case. Both A.Lange&Sohne replica uk have magnifier lenses over the date on the sapphire crystal, ceramic bezels, COSC Chronometer certified in-house made automatic movements by replica tag heuer Grand Carrera, as well as almost identical dials (save for the extra hand on the GMT)

replica tag heuer Grand Carrera makes a small assortment of very desirable sport watches that can double as dress watches. My tops pics are the Submariner and this new GMT Master II. While the ref. 116710BLNR GMT Master II doesn't feel like a totally "new" watch, it has a novel feature for replica tag heuer Grand Carrera and is still a great looking timepiece that stole the hearts of many at the Baselworld 2013 watch show.

replica tag heuer Grand Carrera Begins Using Silicon “Syloxi” Hairsprings

2014-06-18 14:00:42 | 日記

replica tag heuer Grand Carrera has been one of the most interesting brands to reveal new things here at Baselworld 2014 - but only if you look really closely. Sure the new Sea-Dweller and "Pepsi bezel" GMT-Master II are lovely looking, but in my opinion the most interesting items of news are found in the minor details which are part of the new watches. For instance, almost hidden as part of a ladies watch is a new piece of A.Lange&Sohne replica uk technology known as Syloxi – which is essentially a silicon (silicium) hairspring.

Yes, that is right: for 2014, replica tag heuer Grand Carrera has begun to use silicon hairsprings, a technology that they have been working on for over a decade, but have only now decided to incorporate into a Franck Muller replica uk. It was only several years ago, in the year 2000, that replica tag heuer Grand Carrera introduced their "paramagnetic" Parachrom hairspring that is an exotic alloy of metals. As of 2014 the Syloxi silicon hairsprings will not replace Parachrom hairsprings, but will rather sit side by side them in a different range of watches.

replica tag heuer Grand Carrera seems to suggest that for the time being the more advanced Syloxi hairsprings will have life in their ladies watches - beginning with these new jewelry versions of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust Pearlmaster 34 replica tag heuer Grand Carrera. Normally I would never suspect that a precious stone-laden timepiece for women would be how replica tag heuer Grand Carrera debuts a new technology. In fact, one might argue that 2014 is really about replica tag heuer Grand Carrera intentionally doing things that people would never be able to predict.

While women's watches will contain the Syloxi hairsping, replica tag heuer Grand Carrera seems to suggest that their men's models (for now) will continue to use the Parachrom hairspring. Specifically, Syloxi has been introduced in the replica tag heuer Grand Carrera in-house made calibre 2236 automatic movement. replica tag heuer Grand Carrera says that the silicon hairspring has even allowed for an increased power reserve of 55 hours (adding about 6 hours over the traditional hairspring).

So these images are of two of the new Datejust Pearlmaster 34 watches that will contain the calibre 2236 movement. The Pearlmaster version of the Datejust has a unique bracelet and some other distinct features. Of course those features often include precious stone decoration and precious metal case and bracelet construction. Unsurprisingly the Datejust Pearlmaster 34 for 2014 will come in 18k yellow, white, or rose gold. The white gold version comes master with sapphires, the yellow gold version with diamonds, and the rose gold (Everose) version with rubies. All of the models have fully diamond set dials.

As a jewelry watch there is a lot to appreciate. For instance the dials are hand-set with diamonds before the hour markers are applied. If you look closely at the bezels you'll notice that replica tag heuer Grand Carrera selects slightly darker stones at each hour marker point. Of course all the stones are of excellent quality and hand-set by replica tag heuer Grand Carrera in-house. Each of these Pearlmaster watches comes with an option diamond-set bracelet as well.

There is no doubting that these are strictly ladies watches and to opt for this collection to debut a new piece of movement technology is a strange thing as women are traditionally not the key demographic to be interested in the details and performance of a watch movement. Nevertheless replica tag heuer Grand Carrera has incorporated Syloxi in the 2236 and it is unclear exactly how they will roll-out the technology into future timepieces.

Why silicon? Well the nature of silicon means that it does not require lubrication, is not effected by changes in temperature, does not react to magnetism, and is extremely stable. These are all benefits over traditional metal hairsprings. It was long believed that replica tag heuer Grand Carrera would never adopt silicon for use in their hairsprings even though it was known they had the technology to do so. Does anything make their silicon hairsprings different from those offered by other brands? According to replica tag heuer Grand Carrera yes. The Syloxi hairspring is covered by a number of patents, related to how it is produced, to how the hairspring is attached to the balance wheel. replica tag heuer Grand Carrera seems to promise that these are probably the best performing hairsprings they offer (and of course the 2236 movement is COSC Chronometer certified). While the Oyster Perpetual Datejust Pearlmaster 34 watches are high-end ladies pieces, it is possible that Syloxi will find its way into other replica tag heuer Grand Carrera models soon.
