Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 15,000 Gauss Watch Review

It might be safe to surmise that Omega was the star from the Piece of fabric Group this past year in 2014 and beyond are searching pretty vibrant too, but what we should can securely have to say is that Omega has been doing a great job of realizing and honoring its past, whilst firmly considering the near future. A wrist watch such as the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra > 15,000 Gauss is actually about each of individual’s perspectives. In looking at it, we discover a good classic Omega watch having a heart that literally dictates an assured future of the trademark.



Let us take particular notice at probably the most anti-magnetic mechanical watches around.

Also launched this past year in 2013, was the Omega Speedmaster Negative Side From The Moon (examined here). I bring this piece up for 2 reasons. First, would be that the recognition and hype from the Negative Side From The Moon just narrowly edged the 15,000 Gauss regarding consumer and media attention. Omega was certainly conscious that this would happen once they launched them throughout exactly the same year. Another factor to consider I take it up, happens because despite the fact that ceramic (the case material from the Speedmaster Negative Side From The Moon) isn't magnetic, Omega did something completely different using the 15,000 Gauss regarding dealing with the problem of heading off magnetism.



Let us support a minute. Why all of the fuss about magnetism? Well mechanical watch actions are typically made from mostly metal, many of which is ferrous metal. That ensures they are prone to magnetic fields-that are really more widespread than people think. Magnetism can perform a couple of things to some watch movement, and both of them are things you need to avoid. Magnetism can first act to totally ruin the precision of the movement since the balance wheel has been effected through the pressure, destroying its operation. Which means that interaction with magnetic fields could make the precision of the mechanical movement basically useless. Second, magnetic fields may cause the metal inside your watch being magnetized. This can destroy your watch movement until a watch manufacturing company can demagnetize it (if even possible within the case). As you can tell, staying away from magnetism if this involves an analog watch is generally a wise decision.



Normal mechanical watches are somewhat anti-magnetic, although not much. They are able to resist as much as maybe 90 Gauss. Traditional anti-magnetic watches contain an iron shield round the movement to safeguard against magnetic fields. These safeguard as much as about 1,000 Gauss, which is very good, but does prevent a wrist watch that provides a look at the movement. It's unclear when or how many people would touch more powerful magnetic fields unless of course they labored around an MRI machine or perhaps in some form of aviation or industrial capacity, however it might happen. The point is, Omega searched for to beat all records by creating a wrist watch movement able to enduring as much as about 15,000 Gauss, and offering a presentation case back to see the movement.

Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Watch Hands-On

Dads and moms before Baselworld 2014, Omega started a teaser campaign via social networking to obtain fans speculating what their new dive watch would be. Among the last images Omega launched of the items will be the new Seamaster 300 was from the case having a dim dial. Under an hour or so after it had been released online Omega fans rapidly used Illustrator to determine which the dial of the new in the past-designed, yet ultra-modern dive watch collection could be.



The brand new Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial matches to Omega's already crowded assortment of watches for diving like a direct visual emulation from the classic Omega Seamaster 300 watch in the nineteen fifties. Omega is usually inspired by models from the "museum collection" within the interest of perpetuating core style codes and also the visual DNA which has introduced the company where it's today. Simultaneously Omega is committed to pushing forward with finding new methods for building mechanical watches. Together these distinct goals coalesce to produce watches have a tendency to offer a great deal to discuss.



In this way many Omega watches happen to be inspired through the Seamaster watches in the nineteen fifties. The highly effective Omega Seamaster Planet Sea is one, however the Omega Seamaster 300 is much more directly aesthetically associated with the classic. Such belongs to the charm having the ability to own something which appears like it had been in the past, but is within actuality totally modern in materials and construction. Many people will shriek upon my next statement but this is the way I love to enjoy "vintage watches" best. And therefore instead of really coping with the problems of the vintage watch, I favor to possess one that's aesthetically much like a traditional watch, only from today.



Clearly many have experienced exactly the same idea as myself, and that's why the re-giving of classic references continues to be very popular during the last couple of years. With Omega a minimum of they do not re-to produce watch without attempting to essentially enhance the initial. The current Omega Seamaster 300 watch has features the original could have only imagined about-as well as for some there's something really awesome about this. Simultaneously, if could be a little strange to get a watch because of so many interesting modern features that aesthetically is really a jerk towards the past. It seems sensible for knowledgeable watch enthusiasts for example myself, as well as the mainstream I'm able to realize why they'd not consider a watch so faithfully attempting to look retro and assume its some awesome technology within it.

Cool watches of Reef Tiger in 2014

When referring to cool watches, I can only think of Reef Tiger Artist series watches, which are full of feelings of literature and art. There are four brands in total, including Royal Crown, Carved Spiral, Constant and Freedman. These are four men’s wrist watches, showing gentlemen’s grace temperament and good taste with their simple delicate design, outstanding appearance and excellent performance. But what about assurance of good quality? Actually, the pure Swiss brand is the best and biggest guarantee. It’s well-known that this brand has been appreciated by lots of people all over the world and has always devoted itself to making fine watches for the public. Now let’s take a look at these cool watches. 

1. Reef Tiger Artist Carved Spiral


 Artist Carved Spiral Automatic White Dial Black Leather Strap Steel Case

Does the name sound beautiful and special? Can you imagine how amazed when I first saw this wrist watch? White shell with white dial is not unique, but once incorporated with blue hands and blue Roman numerals, things become different. Only words like simplicity, elegance and beauty can be thought of. Three blue copper-made hands are like sharp swords, pointing to accurate time for us. And three smaller sub dials with different functions are inset at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock position of the dial. Sapphire crystal case provides strong protection for the beautiful dial. 

2. Reef Tiger Artist Royal Crown


 Artist Royal Crown Automatic Steel Case With Black Sunstreaker Dial Watch

Fadeless rose gold-plated steel is used to make watch case, shining charming metal luster. Like a small and exquisite queen crown, watch crown is firmly inlayed on the right side of the case. That’s one obvious aspect to show designers’ carefulness and seriousness. In order to show Royal Crown’s simplicity, only two copper-made hands are necessary. And the logo “REEF TIGER” has been carefully and clearly marked at the 12 o’clock position. Moreover, bamboo shaped genuine leather strap connects your wrist with the watch well, and it’s 60% lighter than metal bracelet. 

3. Reef Tiger Artist Constant


 Artist Constant Automatic Double-Stepped Steel Case Black Watch

When it rains, you don’t need to worry that your beloved wrist watch will get damaged, because the water resistant of Constant is 30 meters, even you can wear it to wash your car. To make certain of its good quality, automatic mechanical movement is adopted. And this movement has been through several professional tests. The gold shell with black dial reflects wearers’ different temperament and good taste. Even the markers and hands are plated with rose gold, nice and luxury. The whole design is completely elegant and decent. Sapphire crystal is also one important to show its high quality, as well as black genuine leather strap.

Do these watches look cool? I love them so much!

Simple introductions of some unique but excellent wrist watches

Round shape? The pure color black or white? Batteries changed? Flat dial? No, this time we are going to talk about some new and special about wrist watches. Although we know that roundness means fullness and mellowness; pure color represents simplicity and elegance; and it’s not so trouble to change batteries sometimes. Just in this new age, we should pursue creation as well, so do watches. Of course, high quality and nice appearance are basic requirements of a high end wrist watch. However, in order to catch more eye, maybe we are supposed to manufacture some special watches for the public, which are not only beautiful, but also unique. 

1. Reef Tiger Coco Rose Heart RGA171-YWBD

 Coco Rose Heart White Ripple Dial Swarovski Diamonds Steel Watch


When referring to unique watches, I must remember Coco Rose Heart watch, which has beautiful and different appearance. Tired of round shape all in the same way, I was surprised by this watch for the first impression. Tonneau shape shows more elegant and special. A round of Swarovski crystals are inlayed on the stainless steel bezel, making the tonneau shape more prominent. Besides, 12 colorful Arabic numeral markers are another shining aspect for this watch. But this watch has an important way. It not only owns beautiful appearance, but also has excellent performance. Sapphire crystal has been carefully-selected to make its front case, scratch resistant and anti-reflective. 

2. Issey Miyake Silap003 Twelve Mens Watch



I have to admit that I have never see or use such a simple design wrist watch. Stainless steel bezel with a very clear and white dial is totally a perfect match. When looking at this wrist watch, I can only think of sweet words like grace, simplicity and specialty. Actually, even you don’t see the picture, you can also imagine from my description. Round shape is not unique, but only two black hands in the white dial is not usual watch. No second hand, no obvious markers, no logo…all that should be included in a watch has disappeared. Therefore, What I can do is just to accept the simple watch and enjoy it from the bottom of my heart.

3. Ice Time Ladies Diamond Watch 1ct Rose Gold



This Ice Time Ladies Diamond Watch Rose Gold Plated features a rose gold plated tone stainless steel case set with 1 carat of genuine diamonds. The whole design seems very simple but elegant. Especially the leave shape, it’s more unique than the above two. A dark blue mother of pearl dial increases much shining points for the watch, much less its excellent quartz movement. As we all know that quartz movement works more precisely than mechanical movement. But what I like most about this watch is the rose gold-plated steel.

Maybe you think they are not special enough, then welcome to talk to me about your taste.

The brief origin of Radiomir and Luminor

The brief origin of Radiomir and Luminor:

The Panerai Radiomir 323 10 Days GMT



Panerai PAM386 Luminor Composite Marina 1950



In 1915, Panerai was supplied "RADIOMIR RONCONI" for military. The "RADIOMIR", a kind of light-emitting material based on Radium, was used for the luminous coating of the instruments and watch dials. Because of its high radioactivity, the Radiomir coating was gradually replaced by self-luminous material "Luminor" during the WWII.
In 1916, Panerai registered patent for "Radiomir".
In 1936, the first Radiomir prototype watch was published.
In 1949, the Radiomir was replaced by Luminor, which was registered patent in January 11, 1949 and the registered trademark is just "LUMINOR". 
In 1950, Panerai finished the watchcase design of LUMINOR, and that watchcase is used in contemporary LUMINOR 1950.

The biggest difference between Radiomir and Luminor is that Radiomir is equipped with conical screw-down winding crown and screw back while the Luminor is complimented by the crown bridge(registered trademark), but they are both using the distinguished cushion shape watchcase which ensured a particularly high degree of water-resitance.

Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Power Reserve GMT - 44mm PAM 321

Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days Power Reserve GMT - 44mm PAM 321


The appearance of Panerai is amzing! No matter the strap, the dial or the index gives me a feeling of retro. The texture of strap of Panerai is  very light in weight. And the  Dial Numerals has a grerat third dimension. 
The whole watch is Simple and generous exterior. It makes me can’t help to looking at the watch all the time.






After replacing the strap


Panerai have proved to be the king of strap. You would begin staring at the strap after purchasing the watch.

But it was not easy to choose a comfortable strap. Although there were lots of handmade strap on the Internet, you should go to the studio and customize in person.

The thickness and softness of each strap are different, as well the length of the hole.
This is the trouble spot.

It can not make micro adjustment to 2 - 3mm like the bracelet. And the hole of strap always is 7 - 11mm.

Actually, there was a hole fitting to your strap, nothing else is needed.
It is hard to get the right strap on the Internet, this would be too tight or too loose.

It’s ok with a little loose, but it would feel uncomfortable with tight strap.
This strap will get stuck your bone with the loose strap.

Since I had the experience to order the strap, it was comfortable after adjusting the distance to punch.

The left strap is the same.

The left is the first time to make, the first hole is 60mm, the second is 70mm.

Another straps
To increase its usability, the first is 56mm, 63mm, 70mm
The second is 58mm, 65mm, 72mm

Basically, I am right for the hole of 63mm and 65mm.

The right wotancraft strap is what I really like. I think he is the first chair to manufacture the calf - leather strap.

The rightmost is original rubber strap, I wear the second hole and feel comfortable.

A Breitling Navitimer in Blue - Special Edition Watch

Breitling remembers the legendary Navitimer’s six decades flying

To mark the 60th anniversary from the Navitimer chronograph, the cult model among aircraft pilots and aviation fanatics, Breitling is presenting a 500-piece special edition with a stylish dial within an exclusive shade of blue and appropriately named the Breitling Navitimer Blue Sky.



In 1952, Breitling - already a strong fixture among aeronautical professionals - made the decision to produce a new “wrist instrument” particularly made with pilots in your mind. The end result was the Navitimer using its famous circular slide rule supplying quick and easy handling of information relevant to airborne navigation: a geniune wristworn instrument panel. Within an era preceding the arrival of electronic hand calculators, this model unique in the kind was soon adopted by many people aircraft pilots for flight preparation and monitoring - whether or not this found calculating average speed, distance covered, fuel consumption or rates of ascent and descent.



The only real authentic aviation chronograph in common use, it had been naturally selected because the official watch through the Aircraft Proprietors and Aircraft pilots Association, the biggest available on the planet as well as that the logo design frequently seems on models in the nineteen fifties and sixties.

The Navitimer includes a functional design along with a highly original technical yet elegant look that's identifiable initially. It thus established itself among the ten great twentieth century the watchmaking industry classics, an ageless benchmark in the area along with a reliable value.

Continuously made since 1952, while remaining faithful to the aesthetic from the original, it's the world’s earliest mechanical chronograph still being produced. A handsomely stylish special edition to celebrate its six decades flying, the favourite watch among aviation fanatics has become obtainable in a 500-piece steel special edition having a magnificent blue dial, a silver inner bezel along with a red-colored central chronograph seconds hands. A handsomely stylish new face which are more representational Breitling model.
