Bell & Ross BR02-92 Carbon Fiber And Phantom Watches
Bell & Ross has not forgotten about you BR02 lovers! The BR02 is Bell & Ross's most modern dive watch and a piece that, I think, has gone too far under the radar in the last few years. It makes sense that with all their focus on vintage/heritage/original aviation pieces there wasn't very much room in the spotlight for a thoroughly modern Bell & Ross diving watch.Here is a bit of attention for the collection, though, in the form of two new pieces that borrow heavily from some of the coolest BR01 watches from a few years ago. I am glad that Bell & Ross looked to the BR01 All Carbon Fiber and BR01 Pro Titanium watches as a design direction for these BR02 watches. You can see what I mean by clicking on those links.The two new watches are the BR02-92 Carbon Fiber and BR02-92 Phantom. I'm pretty sure you can tell which is which. The hands and hour indicators are very modern compared to the rest of the collection while still very legible. I think these are some really neat loo

Incoming: Lord Elgin 760 movement in 10K case
I've been cleaning and polishing the watch and band all morning. Mostly just years of gunk that had to be removed.Once the grime was cleared away, it showed a watch in very good condition. The case is 10K gold and the dial has a cross woven cloth look, in gold as well. The hands are gold, as well as the faceted markers which catch the light and make the watch sparkle.The 760 movement winds freely and has kept "perfect time" for the last 8 hours, though I will have it sent off to the watchmaker to have it serviced at some point this year.Interestingly enough, it came with a gold capped Speidel band with a built in calendar. The calendar is contained in a little compartment and is basically a paper scroll that is wound to advance the month. The one on this band is from 1970. I wonder if they still make the little calendar?The Speidel band is in great shape and I will save it for another watch, but I have a Kelaran Ostrich strap coming.

Industry News - New 50 Fathoms
NEWS Fifty Fathoms in the feminine mode September 02, 2008 Blancpain redefines the rules governing the world of diver’s watches to offer a range of new expressions suited to the broad variety of contemporary lifestyles. Historically masculine in that it was developed to equip French Navy combat divers in their perilous underwater missions during the 1950s, the Fifty Fathoms is now also interpreted in a decidedly feminine mode. Determined to create mechanical watches that meet the needs of modern women, Blancpain presents two ladies’ versions of the Fifty Fathoms. These new creations reflect the key signature features of the famous diving watch: the same exclusive Blancpain Calibre 1315 self-winding movement with a 5-day power reserve, the same size of the steel case; the same water resistance to 300 metres; and the same oversized hands and hour-markers ensuring optimal readability.Clearly designed for contemporary women, the Fifty Fathoms shows up in soft, light colours: pi
