A couple new B&Rs that have come out with Baselworld

Esteemed military style watchmakers Bell & Ross unveil two new watches from its Vintage BR Carbon Series. Shown are the brand’s Chronograph BR 126 and Vintage BR 123. Both take on timeless styling with the incorporation of 41mm casings, glass bead blasted stainless steel with vacuum carbon black finishes, and natural leather straps, adding a distinctly sophisticated appeal.

Wow. When will this be available? Looks like that new kitchen table is gonna have to wait

Tudor Heritage Chronograph

The 2010 TUDOR Heritage Chrono mirrors the original shape and proportions of the middle case, bezel, lugs and bracelet of th 1970s model. But a closer look reveals a series of new and beautifully executed design details. Notably, the bevelled and polished edges of the lugs, the slick, stylized shoulders to protect the crown, and the knurled edge of the rotatable bezel and of the pushers that flank a knurled winding crown to improve grip. The dial, available in either grey on black or black on gray, is further enhanced with stunning orange details and features 3-D applique rather than printed pentagonal-shaped hour markers and two counters. The 45-minute counter reiterates the counter of the 1970s, dictated by the very structure of its 7734 Valjoux movement and the need for optimal legibility. The thicker, wider, sleeker watch case of the TUDOR Heritage Chrono, once 40 mm and now 42 mm, is altogether in keeping with the dimensions of today’s chronographs.

It also boasts the reference 7033 bidirectional rotatable bezel, originally designed for the 1970s first edition of the watch but never distributed. Today it bears the reference number 70330, with a black eloxed aluminium disc, and comes with both a three-link solid steel bracelet with a new clasp and TUDOR shield logo, as well as, yes, a black, grey and orange fabric strap, with a newly-developed vintage– and seat belt-inspired buckle.

In order to work it you just have to roll your cursor over the different purple lines in the logo.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I am not a huge fan of the white letters on black face "pilot" style, but that looks very very nice.

I *am* a huge fan of watches in the $500- $2000 price range, I feel like that is kind of a neglected segment and you can in theory offer a pretty nicely made watch for that much cash.

I have a certain watch I have had my eye on and hopefully I get my act together and have it to show off at the April meet

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Found this new watch brand this morning, pretty nice and this retails for $1,395 US.

Designed in California with Swiss-made automatic movements, Xetum takes a stance of offering high-quality watches that embody modern design sensibilities. A theme of minimalistic cases goes the current trend of large over-sized styles of recent times and ultimately maintains a clean demeanor. The Tyndall model seen here features a surgical stainless steel case, sapphire front crystal, Super-LumiNova markings and a leather/cork-backed strap.
