OmegaPOFL Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 from Hodinkee: Key details like the placement of subdials, calendar apertures, and tachymeter all remain the same. One of the more notable updates is to the case size: at 42mm, the new model is substantially larger than its more modestly-sized predecessor, which clocked in at 38mm. Viewable through a sapphire case back, the Calibre 410 runs at 5 Hz with 390 components powering three distinct functions in addition to basic time keeping. The aforementioned column-wheel chronograph function uses two subdials, a 30-minute register at 3 o’clock as well as a 12-hour register at 6 o’clock. A sub-seconds dial sits at 9 o’clock as well. The calendar function includes day, month, and date. The day aperture is placed at 10 o’clock, the month at 2 o’clock, and the date between 4 and 5 o’clock. Having the calendar apertures spread out in this way does detract a bit from the overall readability of the dial. $11,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Wow, even at only 42 mm I would wear this beauty as it's all dial, it is simply a very beautiful and elegant piece. Regards AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 It is a gorgeous watch, and an (updated) piece of history. I wonder if that's available at 40% off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Love the watch because of the moonphase. The blue marker messes up the view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hehe, I would be bowled over if they did, or even anywhere close to it. Watches in this price region (and upwards) for me are only a good proposition if they'll return the investment in 20 ~ 30 years time. I hate myself for considering a lovely watch like that, but I could only ever be a caretaker, not an owner. A very happy caretaker mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
