Breguet No. 1646 Diver Watch: A Newly Discovered Vintage From 1965

This is an interesting story about a rare Breguet dive watch previously unknown to most collectors that was produced in 1965. It is known as the Breguet No. 1646, and apparently, only 60 pieces were ever produced. We don't talk about vintage watches all that often on aBlogtoWatch, but this is a worthy exception and I will explain why. First of all, the fact that in 2014 we are still discovering "new" vintage watches says something important about the hunt for horological history. Second, this dive watch design is unique and good enough that, before long, we will start seeing modern int

Hamilton Khaki X-Patrol Watch

Ah, now here is a slide-rule bezel complication that I can use. I tend to make fun of these as I am not about to do long-division or calculate fuel consumption on a tiny slide-rule, if I need to figure that stuff out at all... But this one is actually handy. This new watch for 2012 from Hamilton is the Khaki X-Patrol and it has a metric to imperial conversion scale. That would prove useful as I often travel to Europe and having no idea how far things are and how much things weigh. I am such a proud American. It isn't going to replace a calculator, but in comparison to most slide-rule b

Looking At Liquid Metal Watches With Omega

The modern arms race with watches isn t about gears and pinions, but rather materials. It may appear that brands are hot on beating each others' movements but they know that such a war would be a joke. The race for the most accurate movement slowed to almost a halt when quartz watches hit the scene, and there are almost no new viable complications to be invented. The secrecy and excitement in the world of high-end watches is all in discovering, creating, and exploiting the hottest new materials.We ve seen this over the last 10 years more than ever. Ceramic, titanium, carbon fiber, sil

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial Chronograph Teak Concept Dial Watches

I recently mentioned the brother of this watch which has a 24-hour hand. That was the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial GMT Chronograph watch. Take out the "GMT" and you have this model. Of which, there are actually going to be only a few. There will be the pictured two-tone model in steel and rose gold, a white gold model, an all steel model, and a all rose gold model. This is arguably a more marketable model than the GMT given the more conservative and "Omega" looks of this watch. The GMT had a controversial bezel, while the smooth polished bezel of this Aqua Terra Chronograph is m
