Introducing The Breitling Transocean 38, A Smaller, Less Complicated Addition To The Transocean Line
Breitling is expanding its Transocean line with the new Transocean 38, which keeps the understated size and looks while losing a complication or two in the process. The Transocean 38 retains much of the charm first captured in the original 1950's models, adding modern touches with minimal flair. In a move we've seen before from Breitling, the new model will measure in at a scant 38 mm in diameter, and be ambiguously marketed at both male and female consumers. We've discussed this tactic before in our review of the Transocean Chronograph 38, and maintain that it shouldn't stand in the way of appreciating a great watch. 2 OF 3 The Transocean 38 becomes the least complicated watch in the line, keeping business simple with a small seconds hand at 6 o'clock, and a distinctive twin-aperture date window at 12 o'clock.

Added to my Omega Collection
I found this 2263.80 in a pawn shop yesterday while out riding my motorcycle. Upon examination the bezel would not move, there were no extra links or box or papers.

Hammie faq's for 3/26/08
What are the precision tolerances for HAMILTON mechanical watches?The accuracy of the watch depends on the movement and on the individual habits of the wearer and can therefore vary. A qualified HAMILTON watchmaker can adjust the precision of a watch to within the HAMILTON tolerances.The majority of watches that do not have a chronometer certificate have average precision tolerances of between -10/+15 seconds per day. To earn the title of chronometer, the mechanical movement¡¯s average daily variation in rate must be between -4/+6 seconds per day
