TUDOR New Hydronaut II Collection – Date & Chronograph Models

The huge hand-wound harry winston watches prices movement is housed in a thick 46mm white gold case with a double barrel, but the power reserve is only 32 hours, as the constantly moving time display consumes a lot of power. The Opus 12 is impressive not only for its time display, but also for its excellent energy management that keeps such complex systems running. Although the movement is visually simple, its two-part bridge actually forms three-quarters of the plate, and the large, thread-fixed balance is an outdated and peculiar function that is completely incompatible with modern design. Among the red, black and blue colors, Harry Winston is one of the ocean auctions. It provides two time zones, the local time of the sub-dial is 1 o'clock, and the local time is a retrograde indicator from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock. The conventional volume production Ocean Dual Time Retrograde is monochrome, and this unique version has the freedom of shape and color. This design is an exaggerated version of the action film aesthetics common to marine movie sports watches. The blue anodized aluminum frame is placed on the sub-dial at 1 o'clock and looks sharp and sharp, like a sword-shaped second hand (this is Maximilian Büsser).

The founder of the Stan's rare timepiece, carried over to MB&F). The second time zone on the left is shown in red and black, and the quarter is highlighted in white. Harry Winston's work (Opus) is a milestone complex feature series developed by New York jewelers and independent watchmakers. But the last work, best automatic watches Opus XIII, was launched in 2013 and people are full of doubts about the future of the series.

With the release of the impressive complex Opus 14, these concerns were resolved. Inspired by the jukebox and the 1950s American jukebox, the Opus 14 has the same dual timing function as the jukebox. The Opus 14 concept was developed by Franck Orny and Johnny Girardin, the watchmaker responsible for the Montblanc Time Counting Metamorphosis watch, which features a unique anamorphic design. There are four different records on the cylinder that rises at nine o'clock, apparently inspired by vinyl records. The top is the local time disc, which displays the number of hours in the local time zone and is always displayed at the top. The minute is displayed counterclockwise at 4 o'clock and the power reserve is at 6 o'clock. Located below the local time disc is the second time zone, date and last disc, which respectively depict the signature of the brand founder Harry Winston.

The function selector slides on the side of the left side of the strap, allowing the wearer to select the desired disc on the dial. When selected, the four o'clock button will remove the disc. The disc is carried by the arm, just like on a record player, which picks up the selected disc and places it on a two-point turntable platform clock. Once the disc is placed on the platform, the disc will remain until the fader is pressed again, which will return the disc to the stack at 9 o'clock. Although the Opus 14 has a simple function (second time zone and date), the disc is driven by an extremely complicated motion. The movement consists of 1,066 parts with a number of parts similar to the Grande and Petit Sonnerie movements. Manual winding with 68 hours of power reserve. Its operation requires two mainsprings, one for the timing section and the other for the cheap mechanical watches drive disc display.

To pay tribute to the brand's naval tradition, Tudor has determined the historical use of the watch and reinterpreted it in the latest models. For example, the Tudors delivered by the French Navy do not have bracelets, and then they are equipped with their own manual or other straps. One of them was found on the menstrual diver's watch kept in the brand's archives and was made of elastic material recovered from the French rescue parachute. This ultra-practical relic can be identified by a gold line and is a reference for the slate grey woven jacquard belt available from Black Bay Bronze. The second option is an old black leather strap that emphasizes the rustic feel.

Like the other models in the Black Bay series, the dial of the Black Bay bronze model is inspired by the TUDOR diver watch produced in the 1950s. It also uses a unique angular pointer that the collector calls "snowflakes", which appears in the brand's 1969 catalog. Finally, the unprotected winding crown, like the hole drilled in the lugs, is a typical feature of the first generation of tudor watches for sale TUDOR diver watches.
