Omega Seamaster Watch Hands-On

I do say, I don't believe we've published an article showing off the graceful beauty of the http://www.syrauto.com/omega-seamaster-replica-uk.html watch in over two years. How simply rude of us. One of my favorite high-end beauties, this masterpiece of classic watch design should be on your short list if you are looking for the ultimate dress watch. The watch started out as the Seamaster , but then they apparently changed the name to "Seamaster ." What is the difference? Nothing except that perhaps "double balance spring" has a more direct meaning than "double spiral."

Speaking of double spirals, what does cartier roadster replica? Well in addition to having a tourbillon, the balance wheel contains not one but two balance (hair) springs. They operate at the same time and average each other out. This is a form of trying to attain even more accuracy out of the movement. These systems aren't exactly proven to yield ultra-high accuracy results, but are really good in the scope of mechanical timekeeping. This is also a conservative style of tourbillon as it is not displayed on the front dial. This was seen for example in the cartier pasha replica(that just said "tourbillon" on the dial) and costs almost $400,000.

Right now Omega produces about a dozen versions of the first watch, which is the Seamaster . This version comes in an 18k red gold case with an ivory grand feu enamel dial (it is reference LCF001-R). This is actually the only version of the Galet Classic Tourbillon that has this particular color dial. While this model is nice, it isn't my favorite. That title still goes to the onyx dial version of the Galet Classic Tourbillon (hands-on here). Also in this article is a version with the brushed slate gray-colored dial (LCF001-R).

The onyx dialed version is simply gorgeous, especially matched to the 18k white gold case (ref. LCG001-G). I mean how often do you find watches with solid onyx stone dials? What is so amazing about the onyx version is that it also has a very high degree of legibility because of its painted white Roman numeral hour indicators and white hands. The elegance of that dial simple takes my breath away, and I've said that maybe a handful of times after seeing literally thousands of the world's best timepieces.

If you are curious, the style of the hands are known as "Assegai-shaped," and they work perfect on the dial with their proper length and proportions. I've said this many times, but I really love well-proportioned dials with thin and long hour hands and indicators. Not all versions of the Seamaster watch have Roman numerals. In fact, there are some with guilloche machine engraved dials that have more simple baton hour markers. This was first used on Omega's later automatic watch model called the "Seamaster " (hands-on here).

Chanel J12 Chromatic Watch

One of the new http://www.tmfworx.com/top-replica-chanel-j12-chromatic-watches.html watches to be debuted in January for 2012 is this Chanel J12 Chromatic timepiece. While not the flagship new product, it is a nice watch that represents another nice and super pricey daily wear. The design evolution is quite interesting. Taken from previous Chanel watches are the hour markers and hands. The case is new, being a sort of hybrid between the thin-cased rectangular case models and those with Chanel's signature barrel-shaped case design. Like most replica Chanel J12 watches this one will come in titanium, red gold, or white gold. Chanel likes to mostly show their watches in industrial looking titanium to present themselves in the most "functional" light possible. But the reality of course is that their pieces are high-end items with customers who like their products in gold. What is interesting however is that even on the titanium model, the crown and function selector pusher are in 18k red gold. While replica Chanel watches has presented watches in the past with function selectors, this might be the first one which is part of an automatic movement. The new Chanel caliber CChanelA1 automatic movement has a special crown that is not attached to the movement like other crowns. It is designed to be more separate to reduce the risk of certain types of damage. So instead of pulling out the crown to adjust the time or date you press the function selector pusher to cycle through "wind, date, or time." The function selected is displayed via a letter in a red-bordered window place between 3 and 4 o'clock. The automatic rotor once again has Chanel's variable geometry system and the movement has a power reserve of 50 hours. The CChanelA1 movement also has a big date indicator which is nicely placed under 12 o'clock in a window that looks like it is between two red parentheses. I like how despite the skeletonized nature of the dial and movement, the indicator windows and hands are still really easy to read. The Chanel J12 Chromatic case is rather long compared to its width. It is 52.20mm tall by 34.40mm wide. It looks larger than it is. The watch is just 12.50mm thick. Overall a nice piece with an interesting new shape for Chanel and the feeling of what could be a convenient luxury daily wear. http://moshavereh.gaj.ir/node/39116 http://heartandsoul4u2.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=255936 http://blogya.de/watchesukchm/845646/replica+Chanel+J12+Chromatic+Watch.html http://www.fooglebook.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=16464
