Montblanc Time Walker TwinFly Chronograph

Black may be the sign of sorrow but it is also the colour of ultimate class. Although established as one of the world’s favourite pen makers, Montblanc has been tapping into a few more subjects for the delight of its fans. A while ago, the company enticed women with its stunning and elegant Star Lady Automatic Moonphase Diamonds watch in white. Now, it is time for the black beauty to take over with the brand’s limited edition men’s Time Walker TwinFly Chronograph. Cased in stainless steel and scratch resistant matt black DLC coating, it measures 43mm and has a sapphire crystal. It features Montblanc caliber MB LL 100 automatic column wheel chronograph movement with vertical disk clutch which is developed by Manufacture ValFleurier, owned by the Richemont Group. The watch also features Arabic numerals, a twin-barrel winding system that allows power to animate it for up to 72 hours and is also water resistant to up to 100 metres. This edition has only 300 limited pieces so waste time, no more! It costs $9,000.

Breitling Navitimer 01 Limited Edition Watch With In-House Movement

After its debut in the Breitling B01 collection watches, the in-house made Breitling Caliber 01 automatic chronograph movement enters a new watch - this time the Breitling super-classic, the Navitimer. Probably the most recognizable Breitling watch collection of all time, the Navitimer has been around since 1952 and epitomizes the Breitling pilot watch. I think it was this timepiece that made the slide rule bezel popular. And since 1952 only 10 people have actually used the slide rule feature!

There really isn't much different about this Navitimer versus other models that don't have the Caliber 01 movement. Though the movement is COSC Chronometer certified. The watch is a limited edition (of 2000 pieces), and is said to be a bit larger than standard Navitimer in a 43mm wide case. The watch is available in either 18k rose gold or steel. Case is nicely polished and has everything you expect in a Navitimer in terms of function and quality.
