  2. We're in the air, or the sea, but ..... Under the surface. Rolex Explorer II History. In 1971, Rolex launched the Explorer II (ref. 1655). This watch tool, incorporated a large orange needle for a 24-hour display, bezel engraved and graduate. Only sold with stainless steel case and black dial. The needle always remained Synchronized 24 hours with the hours ... in other words, the Explorer II 1655 was not a clock "GMT", since it could not be adjusted independently needle 24 hours .. The hand 24 hours - is used to indicate whether the time refers to AM or PM example 10 hours or 22 hours, combined with 24-hour graduated bezel, especially useful for cavers, that spend most of their time in dark caves , resulted in losing all sense of day or night. For the design and size the Explorer II 1655, was remarkable in its release. Due to the large orange needle 24 hours, was nicknamed "Freccione" (arrow) by Italian collectors. In the black sphere model, the needles create the "ghost" that effect is achieved by painting in black the tail mimicking well with the black color of the field and therefore not see a clear connection between the arrows and cannon of needles, so that appear to "float" on the dial. Here are the two versions of the Explorer II 1655: The first version (1971-1974). Needle stick seconds Second version (1974-1985). Needle seconds blip In 1985 and 1655 the reference disappears place is occupied by the Explorer II ref: 16550. Although still 40 mm in diameter, this Rolex was radically different from the previous model, as the 24-hour hand was now decoupled from the hours, making the clock hand could move 24 hours in 1 hour, independent hour hand. In other words, 16550 Explorerr II could now be used as a clock "GMT" In addition, the design of the dial and hands was changed, leaving almost no resemblance to the Explorer II 1655. 16550 Explorer II now had the typical skeleton Rolex in the hands (known as "Mercedes") and a red GMT hand with a smaller triangle. There were two options, white or black. The glossy bezel looks bigger and bolder numbers bezel engraved with a deep .. Interestingly, some of the first 16550 tubieron a failure in the paint mixture, so that the white dial, eventually became Cream (Known as the "Dial Cream" Explorer II). The black dial version sometimes developed a "spider web" effect due to other faults in the mixture of paint: "Cream "Explorer II 16550: "Spider Web" Explorer II 16550: Production of the Explorer II 16550 lasted only three years: In 1989 16550 reference disappears and gives way to the reference 16570 almost like the previous model, also with black or white dial, same needles, same size, but the end is added armis closing or security tab as the previous model was smooth Explorer II 16570 In the year 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the birth of the first Explorer II reference 16570 disappearing and presenting at the Basel fair of that year the reference 216570 an Explorer II adapted slightly in size, to the "demands" of a sports watch of the century, the box goes just about 40 mm to 42mm, while keeping the ratio of typical lines Oyster case maxidial incorporates the "hands and indices larger" third needle GMT All times increases the size clearly referring to the 1971 original model. Now let's take a closer look at the replica Rolex Explorer II 216570 of the Noob: - Steel case 42 mm x 13mm high - Automatic Movement Asian 2836 28800 bph - Sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating on 2.5x cyclops equal to Gen. - Semi-invisible crown engraved on the glass at 6 (same as Gen) of the best I've seen. - Sphere and arrows with Super lumen (surprisingly) in blue as Gen. - Steel Armix 316F (the best rolex bracelet so far) l - New style flip-lock closure (super high quality) - Space between 21mm handles box Carved from a single block of steel with a satin finish and polished Oyster Box usual compliments the background thread and fine striations characteristic profile. .................. ..............................
  3. . . After undergoing surgery (change of heart) and I present my new Lifting Titan Divers Chronograph 47mm La marca Oris takes the name of a stream and a valley next to Holstein in the north-western Switzerland. The word has its origin in the Roman Celtic 'Auris' later 'Orusz' meaning watercourse. In its 100 year history the watchmakers Oris turbulent times and have lived alone. But they have always looked forward, with the aim to constantly develop better clocks. Oris was founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin Holstein and Georges Christian. Both came from the watchmaking capital of Le Locle in the Swiss Jura region. Christian Georges died in 1927 shortly after the company became a public company. Oscar Herzog, brother of George Christian, became President and during the next 43 years, he continued the tradition of steady growth. In the sixties, the company with a staff of 800, was among the ten largest producers in Switzerland. For over a decade (1986 - 1997), Oris watches are defined by their classic design. Cleverly designed and engraved dials structures oversized crowns, inspired by the pilot of the clocks in the Second World War, which characterize the Oris collection, appealing to a large number of enthusiasts and collectors around the world. The introduction in 1998 of the robust collection Oris Full Steel marked for a new dawn in style. Thereafter, in a clear and defined to date the appearance of your Oris watches. Each year a new line was launched: in 1999: BC3, in 2000: XXL, in 2001: TT1, 2002: Miles in 2003: Artelier. my Clock Rep. Oris Titan Chronograph Divers 47mm Movimiento.: Maquinaria Automática Valjoux 7750 GEN. Caja: de acero de 47 mm Diámetro; 18mm de alto. Bisel: Giratorio 120 clicks Extra: Válvula de helio Cristal: zafiro con AR 4,7 mm Lumen: Aplicado por el Maestro Fleed. Correa: Armix y caucho con cierre desplegable de doble seguridad. appraisals This is a big clock! With a diameter of 47 mm, there is no way around the fact that it is larger than most sports watches. At first glance the finishing stand. It is noted that these clock before a certain "entity." The details are cared for at a minimum. Everything oozes quality from all sides. Another important aspect is the anti-reflective sapphire crystal on. Despite its thickness (4.7 mm) and convex shape, you can check the time in any situation with little difficulty. Case The box shows a neat cut. TT1 design is complex, full of hard edges and angles. It's a beautiful piece of steel. Oris quotes box measuring 47 mm. But close to 44 mm on the bezel and the total thickness is 18 mm. The signed crown is located wing 3 and the helium escape valve at 10:00 both threads, the buttons of the skate (at 2 and 4) are also secured with thread to emerge, stress that it is easy to operate. The helium escape valve to be opened after a long period of time aboard a diving bell or diving station. Like any non-screwed crown open underwater. handles Oris dive watches have large handles and complement the overall style of this model. It has a mirror finish on the outer surface of the handles and continue down to the link belt. bezel The bezel is knurled and has the standard 15 minutes the red zone. The frame can turn only left with 120 clicks accurate full rotation. The lumen pearl and inverted triangle is exactly 12 hours. The bezel bicolor I can not comment on its usefulness, but I like the splash of color on the clock. needles Tritium in the hour hand is applied in two separate areas, which helps distinguish it from the minute hand. The seconds hand, are thin and discreet. Modern design, all steel, it rides on a totalizing and sub-areas with a certain professional. Dial The dial has its entire surface waves Oris features, black non-reflective pattern. Each index ("tear" characteristic of the TT series) has a slim frame and polished metal inlay Superluminova Fleed applied by the teacher as the hands. The time is very easy to see with the naked eye by the contrast of the black dial. The shape of the index dial really gives it a clean and classic. The date window at 6: 00 is very well integrated and very discreet glassl the sapphire crystal is 4.70mm thick-cut and spherical in the interior offers a clear and undistorted full line of almost every angle .... Movement mounted on my watch Calibre valjoux 7750 suizo GEN +6 -4 Great caliber. One of the timesheets are more robust than at present. Born in 1973, has remained little changed so far Specifications: Automatic chronograph counter central 60s, 30min at 3, 12 am to 6 o'clock, small seconds at 9, stop times to remove the crown to the second position and rapid change of date and day. Lacks column wheel and instead there is a piece that does more or less all the features that made this (this concept was patented in 1941 by the clockmaker, Henri Jacot-Guyot, but that's another story). A detail in the following photo (although in a later video you can see): An interesting link.http://www.timezone.com/library/horologium/horologium631672313433425752 Strap / Armix The strap pivots freely on the handles of the box using a socket-type fastening system. This helps enormously to the suitability of any wrist watch, no matter how small it is. Belt change No springbars in this model which I think is a success in terms of security. A bar secures the strap or bracelet to the screw terminals at each end. One screw is integral with the bar and the other is loose, so you can slide the bar to change. Changing the belt is a simple operation, but be careful not to lose the screws apart, I stick with temporary fixing. Lumen I took the next picture by subjecting the watch to total darkness and forcing previamenta few moments with a light bulb to excite the Luminova application. The result is more than good. back The back .... a hatch ufffff !!!!. Machining perfect. Excellent. That's all, thanks for reading
  4. the clock The Santos de Cartier do not need any introduction. As discussed in history, was designed by Louis Cartier for aviation pioneer and gentleman-playboy Santos Dummont. It is one of the first wristwatches for men of history. Since then at the very moment of its creation have elevated to cult icon he is today. General appearance The Saints are one of those watches that can be recognized in a heartbeat. The design radiates a delicate kind of masculinity that sets it apart from the crowd. This makes it very versatile. From jeans, suit, the saints always up to scratch, this is as casual or as large as we like ourselves. Features of my replica Purchased Lacenta is one of the best versions. Elegant timepiece, perfect finished, Gen. 1:1 Movimiento: Swiss Eta 2824-2 Automatic Movement. 25J , 28800bph Diámetro: Width 38.5mm x Ht 38.5mm Espesor: 13,0mm Cristal: Zafiro box Cartier is often understood as a brand by jewelers and this is evident when examining the box, a jewelry made of steel. The box is brushed apart from the edges, which are polished. This results in the typical design of the saints, distinguished by the reflection of light at the edges. Another part of the case is polished bezel, this gives the watch a bolder appearance and also makes it look a little bigger. The Saints is a large watch but .. around the wrist is filled with an amazing masculinity. The case and crystal are slightly curved to ensure a perfect match to the wrist. It seems childish, but one of the main attractions of the cartier is and remains the blue faceted spinelcabochon inserted into the crown, in this model is cut into faces and lives like a king with a crown protected by two men emerge gracefully from the box. Dial - Saetas The white dial with black Roman numerals Cartier, blend seamlessly with steel and polished screws of the bracelet. The area also benefits from the lack of timestamp window, resulting in a more balanced look. The sword-shaped bolts and fitted to perfection luminova connect with Roman numerals on the dial. Short is a feast for the eyes. bracelet The bracelet is often where the clocks marked differences. Successful watches often owe their success partly to the excellent design of the bracelet, this is the case of the saints. The design is so sophisticated and intelligent that we do not realize it, but it feels so natural links to the shape of the wrist, which gives the feeling that we have made ​​and one piece of steel. Also the design of the bracelet with its links brushed and polished screws fit so well that it almost seems saints that the watch has an integrated bracelet. To complement the set is equipped with a butterfly type closure is one of the most elegant closures comfortable and confident that they have passed through my hands. strap The strap is a bit peculiar and unique to this clock, the two sides are equal. It is quite difficult to mount the strap to close, but once assembled is pretty good, highlight the closure is aesthetically equal to the bracelet. Thanks for reading ... ... ... ... ... ... ....
  5. I decided to do the review of this reply, apart from its history, because it is a fireproof watch over time and possibly the most elegant clock that exists. History In 1904, the friendship between the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont and Louis Cartier French designer resulted in the creation of Santos, one of the first wristwatches in the world. 100 years later, Cartier continues to market the popular model at the time was immortalized as an icon of modern watchmaking. Behind every invention lies a fascinating history and for the creation of the watch is no exception. But to tell the story of this useful object, you can not ignore the creation of the first plane, they are closely linked. The real beginnings date back to the mid-nineteenth century when a Frenchman named François Dumont jeweler decided to emigrate to Brazil to try his luck. The fate led him to become the first Latin American coffee planter and accumulate a large fortune that allowed his son, Alberto Santos-Dumont, develop their curiosity about flying machines and become the unacknowledged father of aviation. Grow a small family business called Cartier In 1847, the French jeweler Louis-Francois Cartier in Paris founded a business to provide jewelry to the court of Napoleon III, recently came to the throne. Their quality immediately became famous, and expanded its production to the manufacture of fine tea sets, dishes and jewelry, which earned him an immense fortune. Then Alfred, the son of Louis-Francois Cartier took over the family business and introduced the novelty of pocket watches, which freaked the Paris of the late nineteenth century. But in the early twentieth century, the grandson of the founder of the family business, Louis Cartier, marked the ultimate success of this famous house, for the wristwatch created a unique piece that established Cartier as a universal brand. The best proof is that today, a hundred years later, Cartier remains one of the houses of jewelry and watches in the world. Las historias de Santos-Dumont y Louis Cartier se entrelazan In 1900, Louis Cartier met Alberto Santos Dumont, who immediately became a close friend, and here is where the two stories, the famous aviator and the famous jeweler, intersect to produce a completely unexpected result: the invention of wristwatch. In 1901, three years before the first flight of Santos-Dumont 14bis, was aboard his airship No. 6, trying to earn a reward of 100,000 francs, to make a return trip from the Parc Saint Cloud to the Eiffel Tower in less than 30 minutes. When he landed the judges said they would give the verdict in an event to be held that evening. Santos-Dumont waited anxiously until he came to Maxim's exclusive restaurant, where the cream of Parisian society, among whom was Louis Cartier, of course, cheered and cheered by his record. The odd thing is that Santos-Dumont, obviously thrilled to have won the award, said to Louis Cartier was surprised he did not know if he had won because he was unable to time while in the air, as in the it was impossible to remove the airship hands on the remote to watch your watch. Louis Cartier promised her friend to help you find a solution to their problem and so, as this tasteful designer gave to Santos-Dumont a flat square watch and gold, which was attached to the wrist by a leather strap and a buckle. Watch The impact was such that in a short time Louis Cartier began producing in series under the name of Cartier Santos. The Cartier Santos watch again produced in 1979 and continued in production until now, maintaining the highest standards of quality maintained when Louis Cartier created the watch to his friend almost a century ago. The first copy of the new series was donated by the manufacturer to del'Air Musée de Paris, and exposed next to the last aircraft designed, built and flown by Santos Dumont: the 1908 Demoiselle ¿Qué fue de Santos-Dumont? We all know what happened to Cartier. But what about Santos-Dumont? In 1909, he returned to Brazil. His whole life was in love with the idea of ​​creating an aircraft that was able to bridge the gap, transporting passengers, mail delivery and promote the union of nations, but the First World War gave birth to a very different reality. Santos had to witness the horror of seeing their planes were used as bombers killing of thousands of people. So, just three days after having served 59 years, hanged himself with his own tie disgusted and disappointed that he use his invention.
  6. . . gratitude A dream and those who have come true. tactical divers At the outset, his mission was to take action at once on the coast and enemy ports and pave the way for landing, eminentementes water features. As time went on the tasks were modified. Currently, its primary mission is the recognition of the enemy, hydrographic and geogafrico upliftment of disputed areas, amphibious command ejecusión raids, demolitions underwater structures and ships in port areas, enemies, demarcation prior to the landing beaches of the Marine Corps, SAR Missions (search and rescue) high risk and counterterrorism. Tactical Divers have all the art equipment necessary for their performance. The team consists of personnel parachutes, uniforms of all types of environments, portable GPS, night vision and modern communications equipment. They can be deployed from submarines, but also are trained to be introduced by air and naval diverse. For your arrival at the point of action have: mini-submarines for two divers, individual propellers underwater breathing apparatus with recycling of air (no bubbles), folding kayaks, boats and speedboats Zodiac artillery. The arrival should be as stealthy and unobtrusive as possible so as not to attract attention, because the theater will always be under absolute surveillance and armed presence. We will use the devices listed arrival achieving invisible as possible. After completion of the mission shall be treated, if possible, to return by the same means of arrival. If you have found this group is prepared to make extensive use of firepower in an orderly retreat covered by machine guns, grenades, smoke extraction units. Each operating unit of tactical divers compene of 3 operating groups of 16 men with full equipment and logistic support group. While the members of this elite group is able to operate on land and using air as infiltration, water is their natural environment and where they train most of the time, using submarines as particularly ideal platform for transport subtle of men and material. As an integral part of training, the unit performs exercises in the marine theater, where they are put into practice all the knowledge about tactics and techniques, and where man is brought into contact with the environment in which you must act if a conflict.

  7. Graham-London GRAHAM its origins begin in London, the clockmaker George Graham (1673-1751) who was responsible for many innovations in watchmaking .. He invented the chronograph, the exhaust cylinder dead-beat, the pendulum of mercury to compensate for temperature differences, etc. .. He also built the master clock of the Royal Greenwich Observatory, which defines the time most of the eighteenth century. GRAHAM-London was resurrected in 1995 and is now a private company owned by the Anglo-Swiss watch company that designs and builds its own clocks in the La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland . Chronographs BOMBING OR COUNTDOWN: These pieces were used primarily in multi-crew aircraft, in combination with bomb sights. Primarily manufactured in Switzerland, were used by air forces of several countries .... Italy, France, Great Britain ... The planes were used to drop bombs for the first time even before the First World War. In previous colonial wars, someone already came up throwing grenades and other explosives on the Indians, but the bombing itself, appears in the Great War. These experiences show that the certainty of reaching a target from different altitudes and speeds should not be left to the instinct of the crew. They are developed optical instruments and chronographs for use together, installed in aircraft or in a wristwatch. Manufactured by many major brands, left to right and from top to bottom, Minerva, Universal, Leonidas, Breitling and Zenith. The most important of these pieces is that changed direction after a second press of the trigger button (function "countdown"). The rotating bezel has a luminous triangular marker. Initiates a second hand account of seconds in the direction of clockwise to pull the trigger button once. To start the countdown, press it twice, so the needle goes in the opposite direction clockwise and can apply the scale of distances. The other button present in most clocks, is to reset. Member, welcome aboard ..... Londons GRAHAM is on a mission .... "A long flight back to its roots " Today's destination is, Fortress Chronofighter. La Fortaleza Chronofighter pays tribute to the clocks used by the crews of RAF Bomber Command. A tribute to these "chronograph to ritorno", or at least a whole crown and pushers, is undoubtedly the Chronofighter Graham . Rep.

Cierre: Buckle Graham In the beginning, the timers used by the flight crew were just great watches strapped to their jackets. However, they were vital pieces of equipment used to track the flight plans and air strikes. These watches had to be trusted to airmen, a matter of life or death. They were recognized for their reliability and accuracy. These watches had to work on top of a world of adrenaline and emotion, where freezing temperatures prevailed in the supreme heights. Were operated by men wearing leather jackets and gloves filled with large wrinkles, strapped to their seats, while confined to a flight deck in combat. And at night, on night missions, in the dim glow of the instruments of their cabins. More than enough reasons to design and develop a specific system to activate the chronograph without fail - the result was the famous lever Graham. The lever is a device that allows the crew member using the stopwatch intuitively under stress, while having his thick gloves shoes. It is a failsafe system that does not distract the user from the vital task, because the lever on the left is achieved effortlessly with the right hand. With the thumb starts and stops the stopwatch. The result is precise timing. We've reached cruising altitude. Through the window, you can examine a real clock that remembers these times. Set in a leather bomber jacket . With the eyes of a hawk, this instrument embodies a part-time in the history of British aviation. As the fuselage of a flying fortress, the box presents a subtle mix of brushed and polished, playing with light and with the legend. Thanks for reading ....
