1881
AUTOMATIC
IN 2015, MOVADO UNVEILED a new generation of automatic timepieces called 1881
Automatic. Now thr firm expands the collection with a dress model for men. It
features a round 39.5 mm case, 9.0 mm deep, made of rose gold PVD-finished steel,
topped by a sapphire crystal. An exhibition case-back reveals the intricate workings
of the Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement inside.Movado’s signature concave dot is at 12
o’clock, offset by the date at 6 o’clock.
OMEGA
SEAMASTER AQUA TERRA MASTER
CHRONOMETER
NOTE THE NEW DIAL. For this collection, the teak pattern now runs horizontally, as
opposed to vertically. The date window has been moved from 3 to 6 o’clock to add
symmetry and in tribute to the Automatic Seamaster Calendar from 1952 – the first
OMEGA watch with a date window. Omega has also removed the “water-resistance”
wording and engraved it on the caseback instead. Pictured is the 41mm model, one
of three new versons, here with a stainless steel and Sedna gold case. It features a
silvery dial with black hands and indexes as well as a black rubber strap, new to the
Aqua Terra.
