Basel 2007 The Summary

As promised, the summary of the Basel 2007 expo. I am looking forward to the SIHH 2007 expo for well, which began today in Geneva. A number of interesting watches are from now on be introduced there.

But premier, Basel 2007:

Blancpain Fifthy Fathoms with new manoeuvre, caliber 1315. The watch diameter is 45mm and has a power reserve of six days.

I already said some newspaper about Rolex, but want to join this new model cried Milgauss (116400). There have been Milgauss watches ahead in the past fake watches, but Rolex judged to re-introduce it to their line of watches. This watch has a 40mm watch case and a preferably interesting turntable devise. The ‘lightning’ second hand reminds us of the history of this watch! Prices will be from (+/-) 4400 Euro and up for the another Milgauss-models. Movement is inhouse caliber 3131.

Longines too introduced a number of new models, but their Legend Diver is obtaining a lot of ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaaahs’. This model should prompt us of diver watches from the quondam. This 42mm watch has Longines caliber L633 which is based on the solid ETA 2824 movement. This watch is water resistant to a depth of 300 meters and therefor can compete with all time classics like the Submariner and the Seamaster. I think that Longines is braining in the nice direction

I was never a fan of the Breitling SuperOcean array, merely it looks like that is going to alteration with their latest increase. Also a model that seems to be based aboard an of their historic models. It will become available in 38mm as well as in 46mm. Each model has its own caliber (17 for the largest model and 37 for the smaller model) but both will be COSC-certified.

The Breguet Toubillon Messidor is one amusing watch in the high-end segment of watches. Although I am no convinced by the use of a tourbillon complication replica tag heuer, it is good to see at anyway This watch measures 40mm in diameter and is made out of 18k rose gold.

Glashuette is introducing a number of new models, amid them is this Senator Rattrapante with the manual bruise inhouse caliber 99. The platinum circumstance is 42mm in diameter. This see feature, like the label yet revealed, a split-second chronograph. Love the ruddy hand.

IWC introduced a few new DaVinci models. Even as a regular IWC basher, I must mention that I truly like this model. The one with the moonphase is the ref. 3762. A restricted version of 500 pieces in 18kt rose gold, 50 in white gold and 50 in platinum. Movement is the?Ǭ�inhouse caliber 79261. The case measures 43mm X 15mm and is water resistant to 30 meters.
