Its sturdiness, required for military purposes, means it can also tolerate acceleration in excess of 7G, as well as function reliably, without regular servicing. And servicing is cost-efficient, partly thanks to its pillar construction and easy-to-assemble design. Production and maintenance costs were lowered further with the use of wheels and other parts made of nylon and other plastics - proven to be shock-absorbant, resistant and low-friction materials. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe watch has the classic military design of the line, and unlike its 'civilian' counterparts, it features an outer, black chapter ring with white, painted Arabic numerals.

It has a blue gradient dial, composed of different shades starting with a lighter blue at the centre and darkening as it reaches the perimeter. The dial is further composed of horizontally embossed lines, adding depth and creating different shades of blue as it reflects light from different sources. The gold, applied index markers have white gold surrounds with a luminous coating in the centre and consistent with the markers, the baton shaped hour and minute hands are similarly coated and made of gold. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt 6 o’clock lies a single subdial that contains both the 60 minute counter on the outside and the 12 hour counter on the inside for the chronograph function with the longer minute counter hand having a red pointer to distinguish it from the shorter hour hand. The chronograph pushers located at 2 and 4 o’clock sit discreetly and blends in well with the overall form of the Nautilus shape.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe case and bracelet of this watch is excellently finished, with every edged bevelled and polished. Moreover, the mirror polished centre links of the bracelet contrasting with the brushed surfaces really shows off the quality of work in this watch. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 5980A is powered by Patek Philippe’s in-house caliber CH 28-520. It is composed of a 21k gold rotor due to the heavier properties of gold, allowing a more efficient self-winding system. Furthermore, the movement has a Breguet overcoil balance spring, and a four arm Gyromax balance beating at 28,800 oscillations per hour. This Nautilus has the Patek Philippe seal, guaranteeing its accuracy to -3\/+2 seconds a day and ensuring excellent finishing. \u003cbr\u003e \n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eA+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e12 months full\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBox:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eoriginal box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePaperwork:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eoriginal paperwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003enow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eUK Delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003efree next day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOverseas delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e3-5 working days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eReturns:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e14 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePrice:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e£33,500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19677941059,"sku":"CSVSS P213","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/buy-Patek-Philippe-Chronograph-Nautilus-5980A-1A-001-pre-owned-automatic-steel-luxury-watch-for-sale-online-at-WATCH-XCHANGE-London14_6593c8c4-a924-4b11-b26d-621214c50883.jpg?v=1643628702"},{"product_id":"buy-omega-seamaster-105001-cal-321-steel-watch","title":"Seamaster Chronograph 105.001 | Black Dial | Steel","description":"\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOmega\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eSeamaster Chronograph - 105.001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003emanual-winding Cal. 321\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eround, stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e35.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ehardened plexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBracelet material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ebrown lizard with Omega tang buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eChronograph, Tachymeter, Hours, Minutes, Sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eLuminescence\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWater resistance:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis rare, manual-winding stainless steel Omega Seamaster Ref. 105.001-62 with the Calibre 321 is in good vintage condition. The watch has been recently serviced and has perfect mechanical functionality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While it is more common to see these Seamasters with a white dial, having one in a black dial is very rare. This is partly due to the fact that in the 20th century, black dials were predominantly reserved for military watches. As such, manufactures only sparingly made black dials - they were simply not considered to be trendy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a round case, round pump pushers and long bevelled lugs, this is a classically vintage watch in its styling. Sized at 35.5mm and 12.7mm thick, the watch is discreet and elegant, working appropriately as a dress watch, as well as for casual wear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The condition of the dial is to be noted; while it is in overall excellent condition, there are light scratchings at the dial edge around eleven, one and five o’clock, assumed to be from earlier servicing work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The watch carries the manual-winding, Calibre 321 at its heart, beating at a rate of 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. This is perhaps the manufacture’s most famous movement, with the same column wheel movement being found on the early Speedmasters, that were worn on the moon. Based of a Lemania ebauche, the greatness of this movement is testified through haute horlogerie manufactures such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, using this ebauche for their own chronographs, even up to recently. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Viewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e1962\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003evintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e12 months limited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBox:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePaperwork:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003enow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eUK Delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003efree next day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOverseas delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e3-5 working days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eReturns:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e14 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePrice:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e£4,500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21152924163,"sku":"WSS O223","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/buy-Omega-Seamaster-Chronograph-105001-Cal-321-manual-vintage-steel-watch-sale-online-WATCH-XCHANGE-London25_0c94c3fe-7890-430b-89c5-2370488ea1fe.jpg?v=1648806490"},{"product_id":"buy-omega-speedmaster-ed-white-105003-watch","title":"Speedmaster Pre-Professional 'Ed White' | ST 105.003 | Steel","description":"\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOmega\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e Speedmaster - Ref. ST 105.003-65 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003emanual-winding cal. 321 column-wheel chronograph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003estainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e40 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBracelet\/strap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003estainless steel 7912 flatlink bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003echronograph, tachymeter, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eTo note:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eLater service replacement Omega crown, after-market '6' end-links\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis vintage, stainless steel Omega Speedmaster ‘Ed White’ 105.003-65 has recently been serviced and is in excellent working condition.

Rarer than any Paul Newman Daytona, this is due to both low production and the fact that many examples have been badly restored and replaced with later parts. This example on the other hand, has to be admired for its excellent unrestored condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This first execution Heuer Autavia 2446 has a reverse panda dial and features oversized registers, or ‘big subs’. The index hour markers are inlaid with radium lumes, together with the singular Arabic numeral at 12 o’clock. Furthermore, what is characteristic to the watch is the steel edged, wide Dauphine hands, which are also filled with radium. Over the years, the lume on this watch has aged to a consistent, creamy yellow patina, complementing the concentric, off-white sub-dials fantastically. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The original hour rotating bezel is in remarkable condition with very minor scratches, with its radium fill at 12 o’clock still present. The crown of the watch is correct, as early Heuer Autavias did not feature signed crowns. Moreover, the pushers are original, evident through the smaller size compared to the later Autavias. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sized in a proportionate and wearable 39 mm case, the watch features straight lugs that are sharply bevelled. The watch case is thick and does not suffer from over polishing. This can be seen through the strong visibility of the bevels in the lugs, and also the clarity of the engravings on the screw-down caseback, bearing  the standard Heuer inscriptions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Powered by a Valjoux 72, a tried and tested column wheel chronograph calibre, famed for its reliability and widespread use by big manufactures such as Rolex.

This was a time of great change within the watch industry where the concept of a luxury watch in steel was a truly revolutionary idea. These Nautilus watches from the 1970s and 1980s are now cherished by collectors and command very high prices in the vintage market.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis year being the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Nautilus means there is huge interest in this now iconic design.

The sub-dials have black stick hands and concentric engraved circles, creating depth on the face. The unrestored two-tone dial also features a blue “snail” tachymeter on the inner section of the dial, while the outer track denotes the chronograph seconds, offering balance and legibility. Further to this, the dial also displays layered Arabic numerals, which have aged to a golden yellow colour.

The aesthetic was created by the industrial designer Christian Gafner, who successfully departed from the standard expectations of watch design. The result is a 42mm \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ecase in diameter fashioned from titanium, a contemporary material that makes the large timepiece light on the wrist. The day\/date, displayed in an aperture at three o’clock, consists of three concentric disks, the innermost showing the day of the week, the middle one the month, and the outer one the date, with a separate AM-PM display. The chronograph hand is almost invisible, albeit with a red marking at the tip - and a 30-minute counter located on the reverse of the watch. The dial is matt black to maximise the readability of the superluminova-coated hands and indices.\u003cbr\u003e       \u003cbr\u003eThe watch comes on its original, black, natural rubber strap and titanium buckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e2007\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eA+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e12 months \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBox:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePaperwork:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ebooklet and copy of Neue Zürcher Zeitung\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003enow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eUK Delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003efree next day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOverseas delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e3-5 working days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eReturns:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e14 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePrice:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e£3,750\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Oechslin, Gerber \u0026 Gafner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31346442435,"sku":"CMHTI M310","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/IMG_8246-Edit_d1a90312-b15b-4737-8e07-4aa0c851fad4.jpg?v=1648741332"},{"product_id":"buy-roger-dubuis-piece-unique-hommage-watch","title":"Hommage 1\/1 Piece Unique H34566 | Palladium","description":"\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eRoger Dubuis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003epiece unique - Ref.

The most original aspect is that the gear around the tourbillon, engages with the gear at 4 o'clock, once the chronograph is activated.

Much of the argument has subsided in recent years, thanks to almost a decade’s tireless documentation by the original sports-chronograph collectors, such as Jeff Stein, founder of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\" title=\"Click here to see Jeff Stein's page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOn The Dash\u003c\/a\u003e, and author of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\/docs\/Project99.html\" title=\"Click here to read the history of automatic chronographs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProject 99 - The Race to Develop the World's First Automatic Chronograph\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the latter, Zenith was the first to announce the innovation. Having begun research and development as early as 1962, it debuted a working prototype at a pre-emptive press conference in Switzerland in early 1969. Rivals entered global production in August of 1969, while Zenith made the 3019 PHC publicly available in October the same year. Zenith proudly claims the “El Primero” to be the first-ever automatic chronograph, emphasizing its full integration and completeness - with a column-wheel and central rotor on ball bearings - as opposed to a being a modular addition. The name “El Primero” by no coincidence translates to “the first”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debate that may never truly be extinguished, but the “El Primero” movement will forever keep its claim as a first. It certainly had a huge impact on horological development. Other than being the first fully-integrated automatic chronograph, the movement was also a pioneer of high-frequency. Beating at a rate of 36,000 A\/h, vs. at 19,800 A\/h of its ‘Calibre 11’ competitors, the 5hz beat rate allows measurement up to 1\/10th of a second, in comparison to up to just one-fifth of a second (at a rate of 2.5hz) of its contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985, Zenith resurrected the “El Primero” line, reissuing the calibre 3019PHC (as the calibre 40.0), and it is still in production today under the designation “calibre 400”. One of the most widely respected Rolex Daytona references, the 16500, used the base calibre 400 in its re-designed flagship sports watch in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning example of the Zenith El Primero Ref. G381 is from 1969\/70 (With serial number 200 XXXX). Whilst the aesthetics are undeniably attractive, it is the condition that stands out. Vintage sports watches typically have tell-tale signs of being over-worn. However this rare G381 has been remarkably well preserved. The round, yellow gold case measures 38 mm in diameter (48 mm from lug to lug) and has large chronograph pushers and the original, signed, fluted crown, each retaining their definition. Both the case and the straight-line lugs are sharp and thick, and the bezel beautifully grained with sunburst patterning. The unique reference number is visible on the screw-down case-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly to the case, the silver dial with black sub-registers is in excellent condition, has applied, faceted gold index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the matchstick handset and index hour markers have aged to a creamy yellow patina. Further to this, the watch also features a red paddle chronograph hand, displayed on many Zenith El Primero examples of the era, whilst the dial is surrounded by a silver tachymeter scale. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries the above-mentioned self-winding 3019 PHC calibre, considered by many as one of the most famous column-wheel operated chronographs of all time. The movement features 31 jewels and a bi-directional central rotor, beating at 36,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 50-hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether with a grey suede strap and matching, vintage gold Zenith buckle, this piece makes and excellent dress and sports watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment. \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eZenith\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eEl Primero Ref.

Journe Centigraphe Sport was exclusively produced between 2011 and 2014 in an ultra-light, 55 gram, aluminium case. It speaks very much to François-Paul’s meticulous approach to complications, both technically and design wise. Its 42mm sports case is made particularly distinctive through a patented chronograph ‘rocker’, as opposed to the more traditional chronograph ‘pushers’. This, in addition to the slim, rubberised rope-like patterned crown renders the piece, visually, quite unlike any other. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the left hand side, the case further features a rubberised edging, offering increased durability. The aluminium dial is matte-finished in contrasting dark grey, with classic F.P Journe numerals. The signature handset is modified for the ‘Linesport’ collection to improve readability. This required the addition of luminous material to the hour and minute hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThe words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed beside the subsidiary counter at 6 o’clock (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in classic F.P Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. To the left of the dial, the 100th of a second-hand revolves around the sub-counter in one second (ticking six times), on a scale marked in hundredths of a second. The subsidiary-hand at 2 o’clock revolves once every twenty seconds, with the scale divided into each passing second. The third sub-dial, at the 6 o’clock position, is graduated for 10 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tachymeter scale converts time units for 1 kilometre into speeds ranging from 6 km\/h —walking pace — to 36,000 km\/h, well above the escape velocity of a rocket going into low-level orbit. Each subsidiary dial displays the time scale in red and is marked at the centre ‘S’ or ‘M’ - ‘PR’, abbreviating ‘seconds’ or ‘minutes’, per revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn intuitive feature of the 100th of a second counter is that it may be stopped anywhere along its one-second revolution around the dial, even between two 100th of a second divisions, enabling a fractional reading. This is achieved by vertically disengaging the pinion of the 100th of a second hand, from that of the escapement. Overall, the complication is highly-fitting for a sports watch, with the dial arrangement highly legible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ‘Centigraphe Sport’ adorned the wrist of French Formula One legend Jean Alesi, during his career-first ‘indy500’ motorsport race in 2012, in collaboration with Lotus. The colours of F. P Journe’s emblazoned the competing black and gold lotus dallara, in celebration of both Lotus and F.P. Journe’s common values – “philosophy of excellence, sense of innovation, performance and lightness, through the use of aluminium”. Ergonomic craftsmanship combined with haute production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis manually-wound F.P. Journe caliber 1506 movement is manufactured entirely from aluminium alloy. It is constructed with 50 jewels, and features an in-line lever escapement, 15-tooth escape wheel and free-sprung balance - adjustable on four inertia weights, with a self-compensating Anachron balance-spring. The barrel features a maintaining power system in order to ensure driving force does not decrease during winding. The mainspring supplies a minimum of 80 hours power reserve without the chronograph running, and 24 hours with operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bracelet and folding clasp of this Centigraphe Sport incorporates a rubber coating, much like the outer-case band, with the clasp engraved with the F. P Journe signature. The clasp additionally offers an adjustment system of a half link size (4mm approx.). At just 11.6mm high, and 55 grams in weight, the Centigraphe Sport make for an elegant profile on the wrist, something absent in most sports watches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Viewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eF.

The \u003cem\u003eDatograph Perpetual\u003c\/em\u003e, in turn, features two of the most practical modern day complications to wear on the wrist; a perpetual calendar and the now famous ‘flyback’ chronograph. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was in early 1990, when Walter Lange, possessing the vision to once again craft exceptional timepieces, formulated a plan to revive the family business in Glashütte after the collapse of the\u003cem\u003e Berlin Wall.\u003c\/em\u003e The brand has since unquestionably established itself as one of the world's leading watch brands - challenging Swiss dominance and raising the bar for both aesthetic and movement design of fine wristwatches. With German tenacity and precision, they create pieces that are elegant statements on the wrist, with hand-finished movements of the highest calibre. In 2001, the\u003cem\u003e Saxon \u003c\/em\u003emanufactory was able to re-locate back to its original, historic building in Glashütte, which housed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/all\/a-lange-sohne\" title=\"View our collection of A.

Symmetrical to this at 6 o'clock, an aperture reveals the moon phase. At 3 and 9 o’clock are two subsidiary dials, displaying a thirty-minute counter for the chronograph and the running seconds respectively. Within these sub-dials are both the day of the week and month indicators. Furthermore, lying on top are smaller sub dials, with the 3 o’clock displaying a leap year indicator and a power reserve indicator for the 9 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is housed within a contemporary 41 mm pink-gold case. One of the superb elements of this watch is the pusher located at 10 o’clock, which enables the user to quickset the perpetual calendar, allowing the day, date and month to advance simultaneously. Each complication can also be set independently, using the recessed corrector buttons. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This particular reference is manually-wound, with a sapphire display back, revealing the calibre \u003cem\u003eL952.1\u003c\/em\u003e, a completely in-house developed movement. The architecture of \u003cem\u003eA. Lange and Söhne\u003c\/em\u003e movements are perhaps their most distinctive feature, with a three dimensional aspect that is truly unique. It features a column wheel, lateral clutch, flyback chronograph movement with a perpetual calendar module built on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe minute hand of the chronograph jumps in one minute increments rather than continuously moving - which allows for accurate reading of the timing function. The ‘flyback’ chronograph function allows the stop-watch to be instantaneously restarted for continuous timing, without having to stop, reset, and restart the chronograph. The \u003cem\u003eDatograph Perpetual\u003c\/em\u003e, calibre \u003cem\u003eL952.1\u003c\/em\u003e is comprised of 556 parts, with 45 jewels and has an approximate power reserve of 36 hours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The aesthetics of the movement are just as impressive as the mechanics, perhaps second to none, with chamfering and interior angles superbly hand-finished. Moreover, it features an artistic flourish, a balance cock engraved by one of \u003cem\u003eLange’s\u003c\/em\u003e master engravers. In fact, each individual watchmaker's unique engraving style can be identified as a result. The bridges and plates are made from German silver, an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc with a warm silver tone that will develop a subtle patina over time. The use of this metal, along with the hand-engraved balance cock is a signature of \u003cem\u003eA.

The dial is classically understated, balancing the inclusion of a pulsometer scale and inner minute track perfectly. The watch displays five hands - hours, minutes, and seconds for the time, with seconds and minute hands for the chronograph; the latter of which - instantaneously jumping every 30 minutes. Overall, the dial layout is cleanly designed, with the chronograph highly-legible in a variety of lighting conditions. The 5170G-001 also has a stop-seconds feature, making accurate synchronization when the crown is pulled, all the more convenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reference 5170G integrates Patek Philippe’s very first in-house chronograph movement, boasting a number of patented innovations and technical refinements, designed to improve functionality and dependability, over that of previous Lemania-based calibres. The calibre CH 29-535 PS movement is based on the classic architecture of column-wheel control – a hallmark of exceptional mechanical chronographs.

By the time of his passing, Jim Clark was motor-racing’s most successful winner, with 25 Grand Prix victories to his name. Enicar’s association with motorsport also extends to British Formula One Champion Stirling Moss, who chose Enicar’s Ultrasonic Sherpa Chronometer as his personal timekeeper during time trials. The “Sherpa” name is inspired by that of the resilient local carriers of the 1956 Swiss Himalayan expedition to Everest, which relied on Enicar timepieces. These chronographs were intended to be tool watches and were used as such in a range of professional endeavors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Enicar Sherpa Graph 300, with serial number 314 XXX has a round, stainless steel ‘BREVET’ case with large chronograph pushers and an original, Saturn cross-patterned crown. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and is sharp and thick, retaining its definition. The screw-down case back features the Sherpa clamshell hallmark, 'ENICAR' and 'STAINLESS STEEL INCABLOC - ULTRASONIC - SHERPA' on the outside, along with its unique reference numbers. The case has straight-line lugs with sharp bevels and comes on a dark grey suede strap and steel tang buckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse panda dial displays great legibility, owing to its contrasting dark blue centre and grey outer ‘Tachymeter’ scale. Furthermore, what is characteristic to the watch is the steel-edged, luminous and white-painted minute and hour hands. Over the years, the lume on this watch has aged to a consistent, creamy yellow patina, complementing the concentric, off-white oversized registers fantastically. It features a white Enicar logo and applied Saturn, while 'SHERPA GRAPH' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'T SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock below the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnicar Sherpa Chronographs such as this ‘Jim Clark’ are differentiated by the use of exceptional mechanical movements. Quartz mechanics dominated much of the late 60s and 70s, including Enicar’s very own Beta 21 quartz movement.

Having quite literally, sat at the bottom of a drawer for over forty years, the condition of this watch is truly exceptional.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeriving its name from the combination of the words \"AUTOmobile\" and \"AVIAtion\", Heuer Autavia chronograph wristwatches from the 1960s were often found on the wrists of the greatest professional racecar drivers. Much of the cause of Autavia’s cult-like status amongst drivers was the fact that Jack Heuer personally traveled from race-to-race, trading stopwatches, timing equipment and professional racing chronograph wristwatches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Heuer Autavia 2446 MK3, with serial number 89 XXX has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original signed, fluted crown. The case measures 38 mm in diameter and is sharp and thick, retaining its definition. The screw-down case back features the Heuer hallmark, 'AUTAVIA' and 'STAINLESS STEEL CHRONOGRAPH - WATERPROOF - GUARANTEED 300 FT UNDER-WATER' on the outside. The case has straight-line lugs with sharp bevels and it comes on a black, leather racing-strap with a vintage, stainless steel Heuer buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case features a black, rotating bezel with a 12-hour graduation and is good vintage condition. Similarly, the black, Mark 3 dial is in excellent condition, has white minute markers and applied, faceted silver index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the dial and matchstick handset is beautifully-preserved, consistent with experiencing very little exposure to sunlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a white Heuer logo, while 'AUTAVIA' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock on the twelve-hour sub-register.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph hand is white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the thirty-minute, the twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively, featuring Arabic numerals and black, third-execution hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries the manual-winding, Valjoux Calibre 72 (labeled as \"Leonidas\") at its heart, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Autavia 2446 MK3 represents one of the most celebrated references in Heuer’s history, a true icon sported by iconic owners. Considered a “grail” piece by many collectors, this example represents the original “Rindt” reference, and thus a special piece of horological importance. The exceptional thickness of the case, consistent aging\/completeness of the lumes and original Mark 3 dial exhibit the characteristics that make some Autavia “Rindts” so collectable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon his passing, Jochen Rindt became motor racing's only posthumous world champion, having won five of the year's ten Grands Prix. The championship trophy was handed to his widow Nina Rindt, on the 18th of November 1970 in a ceremony near the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

P Journe ‘Black Label’ Centigraphe Souverain is in mint condition and comes as a full set, with box and papers from the manufacture. In 2008, the Centigraphe Souverain won ‘L'Aiguille d’Or’ (The Golden Hand) award at the GPHG (Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève), the most prestigious award ceremony in the watch industry. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was three years prior to the introduction of the Centigraphe Souverain, when François-Paul Journe expressed to Jean Todt (then executive director of Scuderia Ferrari), that “there was nothing serious enough in mechanical horology to time today’s racing cars to the 100th of a second”. It was in 2007 that the Centigraphe Souverain was presented, at which time François-Paul Journe credited Jean Todt for having inspired the concept to him. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This example, is one of few pieces from the Black Label series, created exclusively for existing F. P Journe clients. Only 12 pieces are received by each boutique per year, with just two pieces made available for each model in the collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its 40mm platinum case is made particularly distinctive through a patented chronograph ‘rocker’, as opposed to the more traditional chronograph ‘pushers’. This, in addition to unique, opaline white hands, renders the piece, visually, quite unlike any other. The black lacquer dial is matte-finished in contrasting dark grey, with classic F.P Journe numerals. The signature handset is modified for this example to improve readability. This required the bespoke manufacture of white hour and minute hands. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed beside the subsidiary counter at 6 o’clock (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in classic F.P Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. To the left of the dial, the 100th of a second-hand revolves around the sub-counter in one second, on a scale marked in hundredths of a second. The subsidiary-hand at 2 o’clock revolves once every twenty seconds, with the scale divided into each passing second. The third sub-dial, at the 6 o’clock position, is graduated for 10 minutes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The tachymeter scale converts time units for 1 kilometre into speeds ranging from 6 km\/h —walking pace — to 36,000 km\/h, well above the escape velocity of a rocket going into low-level orbit. Each subsidiary dial displays the time scale in red and is marked at the centre ‘S’ or ‘M’ - ‘PR’, abbreviating ‘seconds’ or ‘minutes’, per revolution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An intuitive feature of the 100th of a second counter is that it may be stopped anywhere along its one-second revolution around the dial, even between two 100th of a second divisions, enabling a fractional reading. This is achieved by vertically disengaging the pinion of the 100th of a second hand, from that of the escapement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This manually-wound F.P. Journe caliber 1506 movement is manufactured entirely from 18k rose gold. It is constructed with 50 jewels, and features an in-line lever escapement, 15-tooth escape-wheel and free-sprung balance - adjustable on four inertia weights, with a self-compensating Anachron balance-spring. The barrel features a maintaining power system in order to ensure driving force does not decrease during winding. The mainspring supplies a minimum of 80 hours power reserve without the chronograph running, and 24 hours with operation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Already a rare watch, as part of the “Black Label” series, this Centigraphe Souverain full set, becomes rarer yet.

The French military used watches by Breguet, Auricoste and Vixa. The Breitling 765 ‘AVI’, produced in 1953, was seemingly the influential benchmark used throughout the design process of these later examples, emphasizing legibility, waterproofness, and enhanced reliability. Further examples of Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ variants have been found displaying case-backs stamped by the Aeronautica Militare; AM – Italian Air Force. Whilst these examples are unconfirmed to be of direct military issuance, Breitling is known to have produced military watches for The Paracadutisti R.A.O “Folgore” (Italian Special Forces, 185th Lightning Paratrooper Division) some years later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Breitling 765 'AVI', with serial number (989,XXX) has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original Breitling, fluted crown. The case measures 41 mm in diameter and has thick straight-line lugs with sharp bevels, retaining exceptional definition. Like all original examples, the screw-down case-back features sharply preserved engraving; “AVI 765”, along with ‘WATERPROOF- SHOCK PROTECTED – ANTIMAGNETIC – STAINLESS-STEEL’ and the manufacturer's signature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While the Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ was produced with a range of dial configurations, the “reverse panda” was officially adopted by Breitling between 1962 and ’64, and produced until late 1964, when the reference received a significant update; removing all references to the ‘AVI’ designation from its catalogues and official literature, and replacing it with the acronym CP (Co-Pilot). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The case features a, bi-directional, rotating bezel with twelve-hour graduation and a tritium, inlaid 12 o'clock marker. It's in excellent, overall condition. Similarly, the matte black dial is very well preserved, has white minute markers and luminous index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the stick handset and index hour markers has aged to a deepening yellow, complementing the patina on the sub-registers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It features a white Breitling logo, while 'Breitling Geneve' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock below the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph, minute and hour hands are white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the fifteen-minute, twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively, featuring a single Arabic numeral at the twelve o’clock position. The minute-recording sub-register features unique lume-dashes, marking every three minutes, as well as a luminescent ‘arrow’ hand to ensure optimal legibility. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries a manual-winding Venus calibre 178, considered by many as one of the most famous column wheel operated chronograph calibres of all time. The movement features 17 jewels and a modified 15-minute subsidiary-register at the 3 o’clock position, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 45-hours. This 'standard' column wheel movement for Breitling Chronographs has a twist; instead of the usual thirty-minute subsidiary at three o'clock, this modified movement has a fifteen-minute counter. This was designed to offer greater precision for pilots, as the duration of the counter is that of a plane's pre-flight check required to clear for takeoff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBreitling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eAVI Ref. 765\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003emechanical manual-winding Cal. 178\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003echronograph, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e12-hour graduation rotating bezel, unrestored dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e41 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5256291188767,"sku":"WSS B455","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/Breitling_Avi_765_vintage_steel_chronograph_watch_at_A_Collected_Man_London28_54f14231-5450-46af-966a-b6ef24429567.jpg?v=1648806337"},{"product_id":"buy-roger-dubuis-hommage-h37565-watch","title":"Hommage Chronograph H37 565 | Rose Gold","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis early Roger Dubuis Hommage Chronograph (Ref. H37 565) rose-gold watch is a limited edition of 28. It is one of the earlier pieces created by the legendary watchmaker, after establishing his own brand in 1995. It has a translucent, white enamel dial and the movement was regulated by Roger Dubuis himself. It is also chronometer-graded, with a certificate from the Besançon Observatory.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoger Dubuis' career started in a typical watchmaker's fashion - learning his craft at big Manufacture, like Patek Philippe. These formative years are clearly reflected in the style of this Hommage Chronograph watch, inspired by classics such as the Patek Philippe's Ref. 130. It is also similar to the Ref. 5070, albeit in a more elegant, smaller size. The design is that of a two-register chronograph, with a white enamel dial. The face is painted with brown roman numerals , which match the rose gold case elegantly,  and add a nice contrast against the steel blue chronograph hand. The other hands are rose gold, with the hour and minute hands taking the form of feuilles shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case is very distinct with its polished, stepped concave bezel and brushed concave lugs. The three-body structure gives the watch a larger presence on the wrist than the mid-size 37 mm case would normally suggest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch is powered by the Cal. RD 56 (based on the Lemania 2310), bearing the Seal of Geneva (as the watch is also accompanied by the Geneva Certificate of Origin).

It was inspired by one of history’s most dangerous events, the “Carrera Panamericana”, a legendary border-to-border sedan and sports car racing of the 1950’s, on the open roads of Mexico. Translated to \"race\" or \"career\" in Spanish, the event ran for five consecutive years and was entered by racers from all over the world, representing virtually every motor-sport. Taking inspiration from this, Heuer chronograph wristwatches throughout the 1960s and 70s were often the tool of choice for professional race-car drivers, owing much to Jack Heuer’s appreciation for motorsport, and hands-on approach with its teams and drivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Heuer Carrera 2447SND epitomises the brand's famous sixties spirit and design philosophy. Jack heuer’s strict adherence to legibility and function, ahead of all other considerations, accomplished a design classic that arguably represents his vision in its purest form. While the Carrera was produced with a range of dial configurations, the “panda” dial\" three-register arrangement is a rarity, in comparison to the standard uniform silver and black dials, without contrasting registers. This particular case dates to circa 1970 (serial 102 XXX); a very early example of a second execution 2447.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis second execution Heuer Carrera 2447SND has a “Swiss” only dial. The hour markers are applied, together with aged tritium index markings. The Carrera 2447SND also features a clear, outer-dial decimal track and coordinating 1\/5 second demarcations on the tension-ring. The crown of the watch is correct and bears the standard Heuer signature, along with corresponding original pump pushers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries the manual-winding, Valjoux Calibre 72 (signed as “Heuer-Leonidas\") at its heart, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere this Carrera 2447SND differs from typical examples is its exceptional condition. Whilst this example’s vintage character is evident, its well-preserved condition offers a unique horological insight, owing to the exceptional thickness of the case, consistent ageing\/completeness of the lumes and original Gay Frères bracelet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eHeuer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCarrera Ref. 2447SND\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003emechanical manual-winding Cal. Valjoux \u003cspan\u003e72\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003echronograph, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eunrestored silver 'panda' dial with black sub-dials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e36.5 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eHeuer Gay Frères bracelet (signed 3\/70, HEL end-links)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e1970\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\nThe case of this Heuer Carrera is in excellent condition, with classic elongated straight-lugs that are sharply beveled.

Although not of direct military issuance, this watch was sold at the PX (Post-Exchange), to a member of the Canadian Army. These Base Exchanges sold consumer goods and services to authorised patrons, and most sales were free of sales or VAT taxes. This pre-dates the formation of the Canadian Forces Exchange System (CANEX) in 1968, which continues to provide an exchange service to Canadian Forces today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSized at 40mm, the pre-professional Speedmasters such as this ‘Ed White’ are most easily differentiated by the straight lug cases used and absence of crown guards, compared to the later, twisted bombe lugs. The case is in good condition, with its original, correct crown. The case-back retains a deep Omega hippocampus and is engraved on the inside ‘105.003-64’, and comes with its original dust-cover. Further to this, the watch also displays a slightly ghosted, Dot over 90 tachymeter bezel, in exceptionally good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ‘Ed White’ Speedmaster has its original ‘stepped’ dial in very good condition and features an applied Omega logo. The patina on the tritium hour markers are a dark-yellow tone, matching the handset. The hands themselves show all the signs of ageing, suggesting originality, with only the lume on the  chronograph hand appearing slightly fresher than the others, possibly refilled when the original luminescent material fell out. It still shows subtle signs of luminescence under UV, but less than the remaining hands or index markers.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by the famous calibre 321, it is a column-wheel chronograph movement that is heralded to be one of the greatest ever produced. All pre-professional Speedmasters utilised this high-end calibre, before Omega eventually switched to the more economical, non-column wheel Cal. 861.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColloquially referred to as the \"Ed White\" Speedmaster, the watch was worn by NASA Astronaut Edward White, when he became the first American to perform a spacewalk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eOmega \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eSpeedmaster Pre-Professional 105.003-64 'Ed White'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003emanual-winding Cal. 321 column-wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003echronograph, tachymeter, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eoriginal DON bezel, original crown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e40 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eoriginal Omega plexiglass with floating logo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e7912 flat-link bracelet with matching, original ‘6’ end-links. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eNovember 23rd 1964\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eExtract from the Omega Archives - Delivered to Maple Leaf Services - Canadian Army\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5468041674783,"sku":"WSS O382","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/Omega_Speedmaster_Ed_White_1005003_Pre-Professional_watch_at_A_Collected_Man_London1_938eafbd-fba8-4fdf-b295-80698e1c77d1.jpg?v=1648738290"},{"product_id":"heuer-audi-sport-510533-steel-vintage-watch","title":"Audi Sport 510.533 | Steel","description":"Famous for their highly-functional time-keeping equipment and racing chronographs – motorsport inspired watches are very-much in Heuer’s DNA. Part of their charm is their rarity, while boasting incredible pedigree and fantastic utilitarian aesthetics. The Heuer Audi sport has few rivals in that regard.

These watches were shipped to Audi dealerships, with a small stock retained and sold through Prestons of Bolton for approximately two months. It is believed that each of the Audi SWB team members received a Heuer Audi Sport watch, with notable owner and former world champion rally driver Hannu Mikkola further supporting the claim. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This unpolished Audi Sport 510.533 has an anodized, tonneau-shaped stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and original winding crown. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and is sharp and thick, retaining its definition. The snap on case back features, 'ALL STAINLESS STEEL - AUTOMATIC – SHOCK RESISTANT – WATER RESISTANT – SWISS MADE' on the outside. Similarly, the matte black, Audi Sport dial is in excellent condition, has white minute markers and tritium index markers for the hours. It features the classic white Heuer logo, while 'AUDI SPORT' is referenced next to the date aperture at three o’clock. A 'T SWISS T' marking is visible at six o'clock on the twelve-hour sub-register. On the outside, a raised 500 to 60 tachymeter scale is also displayed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Heuer Audi Sport is powered by the 17 jewel Lemania Cal. 5100 automatic-winding movement, beating at a rate of 28’800A\/h.

Interestingly, the movement for the Heuer Audi Sport was modified by Lemania to remove the 24 hour register at 12 o’clock, typically seen on other examples featuring a Cal. 5100.

These wristwatches were the first to be launched by the ‘Breitling EIGHT’ Military aviation division; bearing many of the classic hallmarks typically associated with military pilot’s wristwatches. The ‘Breitling EIGHT Air Force’ utilized the latest technical advancements to manufacture highly-specialised equipment, using only materials of the best quality, such as cockpit clocks, oscillographs as well as complicated wristwatches. Post-AVI designation, fewer than 1000 ‘Unitime’ examples are estimated to have been produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reference 765 ‘AVI’ predates Breguet’s famous type ‘XX’, introduced in 1954 and issued to the ‘Armée de l’Air, Aeronavale’ and ‘C.E.V’ (Centre d’Essais en Vol – Flight Test Center). The French military used watches by Breguet, Auricoste and Vixa. The Breitling 765 ‘AVI’, produced in 1953, was seemingly the influential benchmark used throughout the design process of these later examples, emphasizing legibility, waterproofness, and enhanced reliability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example, the Breitling 1765 ‘Unitime’, with serial number (127,6XXX) has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original Breitling, fluted crown. The case measures 41 mm in diameter, denoting it is an earlier example based upon a ‘765 CP’ case, rather than the slightly-larger ‘7650’ case. It has thick straight-line lugs with sharp bevels, retaining exceptional definition. Like all ‘765’ examples, the case-back is screw-down, and features sharply preserved engraving; “1765 Unitime”, along with ‘WATERPROOF - SHOCK PROTECTED - ANTIMAGNETIC - STAINLESS-STEEL’ and the manufacturer's signature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a white Breitling logo, while 'Breitling Geneve Unitime' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. Visible at six o’clock, below the twelve-hour register, a 'SWISS' marking is replaced on the reference 1765 by the letter ’T’, denoting the Tritium luminescent material on the dial. The case features a, bi-directional, rotating bezel with twenty four-hour graduation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph, minute and hour hands are white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the thirty-minute, twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively. The minute-recording sub-register features a luminescent ‘arrow’ hand, ensuring optimal legibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries a manual-winding Venus calibre 178, considered by many as one of the most famous column wheel operated chronograph calibres of all time. The movement features 17 jewels and a modified 24-hour time, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 45-hours. This 'standard' column wheel movement for Breitling Chronographs has a twist; instead of the usual twelve-hour dial, this modified movement has twenty-four hour dial in which the hour hand takes twenty four hours to make a full rotation. The request for the 24-hour modification was first made by US Navy test pilot and astronaut Lt Cmdr Scott Carpenter, who wore a Breitling Navitimer (12-hour version) during the 1950’s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBreitling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eUnitime Ref. 1765\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003emechanical manual-winding Cal. 178\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003echronograph, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e24-hour graduation rotating bezel, unrestored dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e41 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\nThis Breitling Unitime 1765 is in excellent overall condition.

Most models in the CPCP were designed for the men’s market and were available between 1998 and 2008 in very limited numbers using mechanical movements from external suppliers, until the Fine Watchmaking Collection was introduced using movements developed in-house. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA reference point in the history of modern watchmaking, the Calibre 045MC that powers the Tortue Monopoussoir was produced by THA Èbauche. Founded in 1996, THA was a collaborative movement manufacture by Vianney Halter, Denis Flageollet (founder of De Bethune), and François-Paul Journe, before their respective brands became household names. With this illustrious collection of watchmakers involved there is little surprise that the Calibre 045MC is such a work of art, both technically and visually.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed only for the various Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir models, the Tank Monopoussoir and the De Bethune Monopoussoir, Calibre 045MC has a lever escapement and the balance beats at 21,600 A\/h. Using a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel of the base movement to the chronograph’s central wheel in the Calibre 045MC is activated by a double swivel pin, removing the ‘jolt’ of the seconds hand that often takes place in chronographs operated by a lateral clutch. The resulting smooth operation of the hand gliding across the dial is as beautiful as the movement itself, finished to perfection and visible through an ellipse sapphire exhibition case back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA modern-style guilloche dial replaces the design of the original model from 1928, with the blued steel ‘Breguet' style hands and inky blue minute track with contrasting pale grey numerals providing effortless Cartier elegance and a vintage feel. The traditional Cartier sapphire is also now set in the octagonal winding crown rather than solid gold, as well as a larger and thicker case, measuring 43x35mm with a thickness of 10mm.

It has its original, silver-on-black reverse “panda” dial, with the outer date ring and sub-registers contrasting beautifully against the matte black dial. The watch also has matching, all original patina on the tritium hour markers and hands. Finally, it has its original, Heuer-signed crown and comes on a black leather rally strap.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many of Heuer’s most iconic chronographs, the origins of the Carrera can be traced back to 60s motorsport. It was inspired by one of history’s most dangerous events, the “Carrera Panamericana”, a legendary border-to-border sedan and sports car racing of the 1950’s, on the open roads of Mexico. Translated to \"race\" or \"career\" in Spanish, the event ran for five consecutive years and was entered by racers from all over the world, representing virtually every motor-sport. Taking inspiration from this, Heuer chronograph wristwatches throughout the 1960s and 70s were often the tool of choice for professional race-car drivers, owing much to Jack Heuer’s appreciation for motorsport, and hands-on approach with its teams and drivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Heuer Carrera 2547NS epitomises the brand's famous sixties spirit and design philosophy. Jack Heuer’s strict adherence to legibility and function, ahead of all other considerations, accomplished a design classic that arguably represents his vision in its purest form. While the Carrera was produced with a range of dial configurations, the reverse “panda” dial\" three-register, triple-calendar arrangement is rarity, with this example preserved in exceptional condition. The case measures 36 mm and dates to the late 1960s (serial 136 XXX). To the left of the case are two corrector buttons, operating the day, date and month. Throughout its production, the 2547 reference was manufactured in two case variations, with earlier executions featuring a screw-down caseback. Later examples (such as this piece), manufactured between '67 to '71,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e displayed snap-on backs and thinner-sized lugs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhibiting subtle blue accents for the date indications, with black and silver tones across the dial, this 2547NS is understated and well-balanced. The hour markers are applied, together with aged tritium index markings. Found at 12 o’clock are two apertures for the day and month, below the ‘Heuer’ logo. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the fifteen-minute, sub-second and twelve-hour dials, respectively - the latter of which, influenced the “Dato 12” moniker. The crown of the watch is correct and bears the standard Heuer signature, along with corresponding original pump pushers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries the manual-winding, 17 jewel, Valjoux Calibre 723 (signed as “Heuer-Leonidas\") at its heart, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The movement is derived from the tried and tested column-wheel chronograph Valjoux 72 calibre, with an additional module for the triple-calendar complication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Heuer Carrera 2547NS, the most complicated watch produced by the brand, reminds us why Heuer chronograph wristwatches are so sought-after by collectors of today.

It has its original, black dial with warm patina on the Tritium hour indices. It also has its original paddle style handset, along with a period-correct, red “lollipop” chronograph hand.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColloquially referred to as the \"Jim Clark”, the watch was made famous by renowned British Formula 1 driver Jim Clark OBE, who was often photographed wearing the reference. By the time of his passing, Jim Clark was motor-racing’s most successful winner, with 25 Grand Prix victories to his name. Enicar’s association with motorsport also extends to British Formula One Champion Stirling Moss, who chose Enicar’s Ultrasonic Sherpa Chronometer as his personal timekeeper during time trials. The “Sherpa” name is inspired by that of the resilient local carriers of the 1956 Swiss Himalayan expedition to Everest, which relied on Enicar timepieces. These chronographs were intended to be tool watches and were used as such in a range of professional endeavours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Enicar Sherpa Graph 300, with serial number 126 XXXX has a round, stainless steel ‘BREVET’ case with large chronograph pushers and an original, Saturn cross-patterned crown. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and is sharp and thick, retaining its definition. The screw-down case back features the Sherpa clamshell hallmark, 'ENICAR' and 'STAINLESS STEEL INCABLOC - ULTRASONIC - SHERPA' on the outside, along with its unique reference numbers. The case has straight-line lugs with sharp bevels and comes on a tan brown suede strap and steel tang buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, this MKIII Enicar Sherpa Graph also (unusually) comes accompanied by an Enicar bracelet. Whilst\u003cspan\u003e not typically found with this particular reference (in this style), its overall condition suggests the two have been together for quite some time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse panda configuration displays great legibility, owing to its contrasting black dial and grey outer ‘Tachymeter’ scale. Furthermore, what is characteristic to the watch is the steel-edged, luminous 'paddle' minute and hour hands. Over the years, the lume on this watch has aged to a consistent, dark orange patina, complementing the concentric, grey oversized registers fantastically. It features a white Enicar logo and applied Saturn, while 'SHERPA GRAPH' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS MADE' marking is visible at six o'clock below the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnicar Sherpa Chronographs such as this ‘Jim Clark’ are differentiated by the use of exceptional mechanical movements. Quartz mechanics dominated much of the late 60s and 70s, including Enicar’s very own Beta 21 quartz movement. This Enicar Sherpa Graph 300 however boasts a 17-jewel Valjoux 72 calibre, the same tried and tested column wheel chronograph mechanism famed for dependability and widespread use by manufactures such as Rolex. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Enicar Watch Company was established in 1914, after its founder Artiste Racine, started a 'Manufacture d'Horlogerie Ariste Racine' in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

The watch is accompanied by a service guarantee card from \u003cem\u003eTag Heuer\u003c\/em\u003e, dated March 2017. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The compelling story of this watch begins from its year of purchase, in 1964 - coinciding with the year the original owner took up motorcycle-racing. As such, this '\u003cem\u003eAutavia\u003c\/em\u003e' (derived from a combination of the words 'AUTOmobile' and 'AVIAtion') was an excellent fit. In 1965, the owner took part in the \u003cem\u003eManx Grand Prix\u003c\/em\u003e, held on the same circuit as the famous \u003cem\u003eIsle of Man TT\u003c\/em\u003e. He quickly progressed to other races, mixing with international motorcycle legends Giacomo Agostini and Mike Hailwood, in ’68. That same year, the owner met and became good friends with Barry Sheene and his father Franco, who looked after his \u003cem\u003eBultaco\u003c\/em\u003e race bike at their workshop in Queen Square, Holborn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He continued to race throughout the late 60’s and early 70’s, including time at the works \u003cem\u003eBMW\u003c\/em\u003e factory team in 1973, with races in Rouen and Le Mans (France), Barcelona (Spain) and Imola (Italy), along with British nationals and internationals. Upon retirement from racing, the owner trained as a scuba-diver, joining two clubs, qualifying as a 2nd class diver. With this, the watch was then put to practical use once more - its sixty-minute rotating bezel, providing a convenient visual cue for elapsed-time whilst diving, measured across England, Scotland and the Bay of Cavalier in the South of France. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was at the latter, that this \u003cem\u003eHeuer Autavia\u003c\/em\u003e proved most valuable, diving to depths of approximately 125ft (40m) - deeper than most recreational dives. With a bottom time of 11 minutes, accurate timekeeping was essential. The owner of this watch was one of three close friends who enjoyed the sport together, opting to use this method of timing on the wrist between them. Though not typically associated with diving, this second-execution \u003cem\u003e2446\u003c\/em\u003e survived unscathed, having saved its owner (and friends) on more than one occasion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This second-execution \u003cem\u003eHeuer Autavia 2446\u003c\/em\u003e, with serial number 57 XXX has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original signed, fluted crown. The case measures 39 mm in diameter and is sharp and thick, retaining its definition. The case was refinished during servicing by \u003cem\u003eTag Heuer\u003c\/em\u003e, though the correct angles and finishes have been applied. The screw-down caseback features the Heuer hallmark, 'AUTAVIA' and 'STAINLESS STEEL CHRONOGRAPH - WATERPROOF - GUARANTEED 300 FT UNDER WATER' on the outside. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The case features a black rotating bezel with a sixty-minute graduation, faded to a dark grey. Similarly, the black second-execution dial has lightly-faded, with white minute markers and applied, faceted silver index markers for the hours. The lume dot markings for the hours are intact and completely original, having aged to a dark orange. It features a white \u003cem\u003eHeuer\u003c\/em\u003e logo, while 'AUTAVIA' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock on the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The chronograph hand is white, with a small counter-balance, contrasting against the black dial for precise reading of elapsed time. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the thirty-minute, the twelve-hour and the sub-second dials respectively, featuring Arabic numerals and second-execution hands. The hour and minute hands are correct and original, in second-execution dauphine style, filled with luminous material darkened with age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The watch carries the manual-winding, 17 jewel, \u003cem\u003eValjoux Calibre 72\u003c\/em\u003e (labeled as 'Leonidas') at its heart, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours.

Jack heuer’s strict adherence to legibility and function, ahead of all other considerations, accomplished a design classic that arguably represents his vision in its purest form. The Heuer Carrera was available in two or three-register layouts; with this 3647N example featuring the former. The ’N’ stands for “noir,” denoting its all-black dial. This example is one of the later models produced, as evidenced by its signed crown and ’T-Swiss’ dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many of Heuer’s most iconic chronographs, the origins of the Carrera can be traced back to 60s motorsport. It was inspired by one of history’s most dangerous events, the “Carrera Panamericana”, the legendary border-to-border sedan and sports car racing of the 1950’s, on the open roads of Mexico. Translated to \"race\" or \"career\" in Spanish, the event ran for five consecutive years and was entered by racers from all over the world, representing virtually every motor sport.

Considered an expensive luxury purchase at the time, the Chronostop has since become one of the most affordable, high-quality vintage watches for collectors today. This example, the Ref. ST145.007, was purchased on the 20th November 1971 and comes as a full-set, with both its inner and outer boxes and accompanying paperwork. \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the Seamaster Chronostop launched, the watch was afforded many of the same technical innovations and refinements as Omega’s top-of-the-line sports watches, carrying Omega’s manual-winding, calibre 865 at its heart. Based upon a Lemania ebauche, and beating at 21,600 A\/h, this 17-jewel movement was derived from the famed calibre 861 (used in the Omega Speedmaster), yet the calibre 865 was only ever used in the Chronostop. With its extreme accuracy, shock-resistance and internal anti-magnetic protection (owing to its Incabloc shock absorber and and mono-metallic balance respectively), the calibre 865 was an excellent addition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Seamaster Chronostop is a unique type of chronograph - similar to that of a fly-back, using a single pusher to operate the stopwatch function. Pressing the pusher once starts the chronograph seconds-hand. Pressing again, and keeping the pusher depressed, stops the hand and holds it in place. Releasing the pusher then resets the chronograph seconds hand back to zero. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of Omega’s largest vintage models, the Seamaster Chronostop has a tonneau shape case measuring 41mm (excluding the crown and pusher). This elegant, tonneau form and deeply- polished bevelling allow the watch to wear comfortably and discretely on the wrist. The top of the case displays a brushed, “sun-burst” surface, seen in many examples from late 60’s and 70’s and seldom seen today. The reverse of the watch is polished, with a screw-down case back bearing the engraved Hippocampus, found on many Omega watches. The Omega hallmark, 'WATERPROOF' and ‘TESTED 120M' are also visible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beneath the raised Omega box-crystal (with an Omega hallmark etched in the centre), the matte-black dial of this Ref. ST145.007 demonstrates sporting intentions, with a fixed inner-tachymeter allowing the user to measure the speed of a travelling object, over a fixed distance. Within the tachymeter is a contrasting, off-white, chapter-ring, with black markers for minutes and chronograph seconds. The dial is faceted, with applied polished-steel indexes, while “OMEGA CHRONOSTOP” and “SEAMASTER” are printed in white at 12 and 6 o’clock respectively. The luminous baton hands are white, offering maximum legibility, with an orange chronograph seconds hand, matching the colour of the Omega logo on the dial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This full-set, Omega Chronostop ST145.007 comes fitted with a grey suede strap and steel tang buckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eOmega\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eSeamaster Chronostop \u003cspan\u003eRef.

Famous for their distinctive, high-beat chronograph timepieces – technically advanced wristwatches are very much in Zenith’s DNA. And - carrying the Calibre 3019 PHC - this piece belongs to the prestigious line of the very first, automatic chronographs.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere has been a continuing and passionate debate as to which manufacturer developed world’s first self-winding chronograph, amongst the consortium of Heuer, Buren-Hamilton, Breitling, Dubois-Depraz and Seiko. Much of the argument has subsided in recent years, thanks to almost a decade’s tireless documentation by the original sports-chronograph collectors, such as Jeff Stein, founder of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\" title=\"Click here to see Jeff Stein's page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOn The Dash\u003c\/a\u003e, and author of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\/docs\/Project99.html\" title=\"Click here to read the history of automatic chronographs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProject 99 - The Race to Develop the World's First Automatic Chronograph\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the latter, Zenith was the first to announce the innovation. Having begun research and development as early as 1962, it debuted a working prototype at a pre-emptive press conference in Switzerland in early 1969. Rivals entered global production in August of 1969, while Zenith made the 3019 PHC publicly available in October the same year. Zenith proudly claims the “El Primero” to be the first-ever automatic chronograph, emphasizing its full integration and completeness - with a column-wheel and central rotor on ball bearings - as opposed to a being a modular addition. The name “El Primero” by no coincidence translates to “the first”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debate may never truly be extinguished, but the “El Primero” movement will forever keep its claim as a first. It certainly had a huge impact on horological development. Other than being the first fully-integrated, automatic chronograph, the movement was also a pioneer of high-frequency. Beating at a rate of 36,000 A\/h, vs. at 19,800 A\/h of its ‘Calibre 11’ competitors, the 5hz beat rate allows measurement up to 1\/10th of a second, in comparison to just one-fifth of a second (at a rate of 2.5hz) of its contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985, Zenith resurrected the “El Primero” line, reissuing the calibre 3019PHC (as the calibre 40.0), and it is still in production today under the designation “calibre 400”. One of the most widely respected Rolex Daytona references, the 16500, used the base calibre 400 in its re-designed flagship sports watch in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning example of the Zenith El Primero Ref. A386 is from circa 1970 (With serial number 706DXXX). \u003cspan\u003eAccording to Manfred Rössler, in his important work on the history of the brand\u003c\/span\u003e, only around 2,500 examples of the reference A386 were produced, exclusively between 1969 and ’71.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this piece is undeniably attractive, it is the condition that stands out. Vintage sports watches typically have tell-tale signs of being over-worn. However this A386 has been remarkably well preserved. The angular, MKII stainless steel case measures 38 mm in diameter (13 mm thick) and has large chronograph pushers and its original, signed, fluted crown, each retaining their definition. Both the case and the straight-line lugs are sharp and thick, with contrasting grained and polished surfaces. The bevels on the lugs are polished, as is the outer-edge of the flat, screw-down case-back, further accentuated by the use of graining at the center. The unique reference number is also visible. Overall, the exceptional finishing of the Zenith El Primero A386 is noteworthy, both for its design and execution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly to the case, the tri-colour dial is in excellent condition, with hash markers indicating the minutes and (1\/5) seconds, along with applied, faceted index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the matchstick handset and index hour markers have aged to a dark, off-yellow, complementing the the sub-registers. The sub-dials on the A386 display white indices, with uniformly white hands throughout. Further to this, the watch also features a red paddle chronograph hand, displayed on many Zenith El Primero examples of the era, whilst the white portion of the dial is surrounded by a tachymeter scale. The watch carries the above-mentioned, self-winding 3019 PHC calibre, considered by many as one of the most famous column-wheel operated chronographs of all time. The movement features 31 jewels and a bi-directional central rotor, beating at 36,000 A\/h, with a power-reserve of 50-hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether with its Zenith-stamped, original Gay Fréres ladder bracelet in steel, and matching ZJ end-links, this piece makes a showcase of what a classic vintage sports watch should be like. Rarer than most highly-collectable, sports chronographs of the period, this is due to both low production and the fact that many examples have been badly restored and replaced with later parts. This example on the other hand, has to be admired for its excellent unrestored condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Zenith A386 El Primero watch is accompanied by its original, red Zenith box and period-appropriate, black leather Zenith strap and buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 593px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eZenith\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eEl Primero Ref.

These wristwatches were the first to be launched by the ‘Breitling EIGHT’ Military aviation division; bearing many of the classic hallmarks typically associated with military pilot’s wristwatches. The ‘Breitling EIGHT Air Force’ utilized the latest technical advancements to manufacture highly-specialised equipment, using only materials of the best quality, such as cockpit clocks, oscillographs as well as complicated wristwatches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reference 765 ‘AVI’ predates Breguet’s famous type ‘XX’, introduced in 1954 and issued to the ‘Armée de l’Air, Aeronavale’ and ‘C.E.V’ (Centre d’Essais en Vol – Flight Test Center). The French military used watches by Breguet, Auricoste and Vixa. The Breitling 765 ‘AVI’, produced in 1953, was seemingly the influential benchmark used throughout the design process of these later examples, emphasizing legibility, waterproofness, and enhanced reliability. Further examples of Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ variants have been found displaying case-backs stamped by the Aeronautica Militare; AM – Italian Air Force. Whilst these examples are unconfirmed to be of direct military issuance, Breitling is known to have produced military watches for The Paracadutisti R.A.O “Folgore” (Italian Special Forces, 185th Lightning Paratrooper Division) some years later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Breitling 765 'AVI', with serial number (989,XXX) has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original Breitling, fluted crown. The case measures 41 mm in diameter and has thick straight-line lugs with sharp bevels, retaining exceptional definition. Like all original examples, the screw-down case-back features sharply preserved engraving; “AVI 765”, along with ‘WATERPROOF- SHOCK PROTECTED – ANTIMAGNETIC – STAINLESS-STEEL’ and the manufacturer's signature. Further to this, the case-back additionally features the name of the original owner engraved at the centre, typically found on examples used in active-service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While the Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ was produced with a range of dial configurations, the “reverse panda” was officially adopted by Breitling between 1962 and ’64, and produced until late 1964, when the reference received a significant update; removing all references to the ‘AVI’ designation from its catalogues and official literature, and replacing it with the acronym CP (Co-Pilot). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case features a steel, bi-directional rotating bezel with twelve-hour graduation. The inlaid, black paint has since worn away, consistent with use. The matte black dial is very well preserved, has white minute markers and luminous index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the stick handset and index hour markers has aged to a scorched yellow tone, complementing the patina on the sub-registers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It features a white Breitling logo, while 'Breitling Geneve' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock below the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph, minute and hour hands are white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the fifteen-minute, twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively, featuring a single Arabic numeral at the twelve o’clock position. The minute-recording sub-register features unique lume-dashes, marking every three minutes, as well as a luminescent ‘arrow’ hand to ensure optimal legibility. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries a manual-winding Venus calibre 178, considered by many as one of the most famous column wheel operated chronograph calibres of all time. The movement features 17 jewels and a modified 15-minute subsidiary-register at the 3 o’clock position, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 45-hours. This 'standard' column wheel movement for Breitling Chronographs has a twist; instead of the usual thirty-minute subsidiary at three o'clock, this modified movement has a fifteen-minute counter. This was designed to offer greater precision for pilots, as the duration of the counter is that of a plane's pre-flight check required to clear for takeoff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eBreitling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eAVI Ref. 765\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003emechanical manual-winding Cal. 178\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003echronograph, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003e12-hour graduation rotating bezel, unrestored dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003e41 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12222358552659,"sku":"WSS B490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/Breitling_765_AVI_pilots_steel_chronograph_watch_at_A_Collected_Man_London9_a3defd79-2799-43c5-b024-60d3b81038c1.jpg?v=1648483527"},{"product_id":"universal-genve-tri-compax-881101-steel","title":"Tri-Compax 881101\/02 | Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eUniversal Genève Tri-Compax\u003c\/em\u003e can be found in many variants, both in case-shape and dial-configuration, this reference 881101\/02 being a rare variant as it features a distinctive black dial with white sub-registers.

The feuilles hands are white-gold, with the minute and hour hands skeltonised in their style. The case is very distinct with its polished, stepped concave bezel and polished lugs.

Founded in 1996, THA was a collaborative movement manufacture by Vianney Halter, Denis Flageollet (founder of De Bethune), and François-Paul Journe, before their respective brands became household names. With this illustrious collection of watchmakers involved, there is little surprise that the Calibre 045MC is such a work of art, both technically and visually.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed only for the Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir models, the Tank Monopoussoir and the De Bethune Monopoussoir, Calibre 045MC has a lever escapement and the balance beats at 21,600 A\/h. Using a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel of the base movement to the chronograph’s central wheel in the Calibre 045MC is activated by a double swivel pin. This removes the ‘jolt’ of the seconds hand that often takes place in chronographs operated by a lateral-clutch. The resulting smooth operation of the hand, gliding across the dial is as beautiful as the movement itself, highly finished and visible through an ellipse sapphire exhibition caseback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA modern-style guilloche dial replaces the design of the original model from 1928, with the blued-steel ‘Breguet' style hands and large Roman numerals providing effortless Cartier elegance and a vintage feel. The faceted Cartier sapphire, is also now set in the octagonal winding-crown and the watch has a larger case, measuring 43x35mm, with a thickness of 10mm.
