Baselworld 2019 (3)

This is the third of a series of posts featuring the new models on display at the world’s biggest watch show.

CHRONOSWISS

Flying Grand Regulator Skeleton – The 30 timepieces of this limited edition feature a dial in galvanic black with contrasting accents in red and yellow, light blue and orange, or red and coral. Activating the crown triggers a slide that blocks the balance spring, so that the seconds hand can be stopped and precisely set.

DOXA

Sub 300 T.Graph – The “Anniversary” reinterpretation of the 1969 divers chronograph features a 43 mm gold case, the original Valjoux 7734 movement, as well as the patented unidirectional rotating bezel with dual indication of the dive time in minutes and the depth in feet for a no-decompression ascent.

LOUIS MOINET

Mogador – The 45.4 mm case made from satin-effect grade 5 titanium hosts the LM-35 movement that won the latest International Chronometry Competition following four months’ worth of tests. The dial offers a view of the tourbillon’s rotating cage, where the balance spring, anchor and anchor wheel perform a full rotation every minute.

NOMOS

Tangente Sport – The Neomatik date caliber is protected from shocks and water (up to 1000 feet) by a stainless steel reinforced case, sealing, sapphire crystal glass back, and crown protection. The specially developed bracelet consists of 145 individual parts screwed together by hand and comes with the in-house deployant clasp.

SEIKO

Spring Drive Chronograph – The new design of the Grand Seiko Sport collection celebrates the 20^th anniversary of the Spring Drive movement. The latter’s high resistance to shock and temperatures guarantees a precision of 0.5 seconds a day in the most demanding conditions. The 44.5 mm case in high-density titanium is Zaratsu polished.

TUDOR

Black Bay P01 – Based on a prototype developed in the late 1960s, this divers’ watch features a hinged end-link with rotating bezel blocking system at 2 o’clock. The in-house self-winding movement is a COSC-certified chronometer that provides a 70-hour power reserve. The 42 mm stainless steel case is entirely satin-brushed.
