BaselWorld 2012: Serious Diver’s Chronograph from Certina
Last year, Certina regaled us with an ISO 6425-certified three-hands Professional Diver’s watch. This year, the brand decided to adapt the case construction to accomodate a variant of the ubiquitous 7750 workhorse. The new DS action diver measures 45.2 mm of diameter and complies with ISO 6425. This means that every single watch goes through stringent testing before […]
New German Manufacture Chronograph With Central Minute Counter
Last month saw the simultaneous release by two competing German brands of a new chronograph calibre with central minute hand.

The Khaki Conservation model (a.k.a Team Earth) was already unveiled last year by Hamilton, with the endorsement of actor Harrison Ford to support Team Earth. For a detailed description […]

The browser you are using is not supported by this website, please upgrade to the latest version […]
Stowa’s new unusual Flieger chronograph
Hat tip to Jorge Merino of Timezone.com. This new model from watchmaker Jorg Schauer’s brand Stowa could definitely have been added to our List of XXI Flieger Chronographs. Stowa is one of the very few German brands that once supplied the Luftwaffe with big pilots watches. The size was imposed by the pocket watches movements […]
