Zenith


Elite 6150
Also robed in rose gold is Zenith’s Elite 1650 in 42mm, made in
commemoration of the Manufacture’s 150th anniversary. Helmed with
the in-house movement, the new Elite 6150 calibre, the ultra-thin
timepiece has pure and elegant lines and can run up to four days.
The present-day watch tips the hat to the original model debut in
1994, one that was acclaimed for its 100-plus-hour power reserve and
a 30mm diameter. Today, the new watch in its distinctive pebble shape
is now fitted with a fluted crown; its flowing curves accentuated by the
ergonomic lugs that fit snugly on the wrist. Water-resistant to 50 metres,
the watch frames a domed silver-toned dial swept over by slim rose gold
leaf-type hands.

Blancpain


Villeret Quantième Annuel GMT Steel
For the first time in Blancpain’s history, the Villeret Quantième
Annuel GMT Steel makes its debut in a stainless-steel case, which
contrasts a white dial against with a black leather strap, and adds
an annual calendar GMT for an extra touch of class. Playing with
extremes, the clear sapphire case back reveals the yellow gold
winding rotor adorned with a guilloché motif, while the hands
and hour-markers mirror the case. The dial has also been cleverly
designed to the order of the annual calendar readings, meaning the
day, date and month are smoothly read off one after the other.
Beating to the 6054F calibre, the timepiece requires only one
adjustment per year – between February and March – and could
be conveniently done with its patented under-lug correctors, sans
stylus: the one at 1 o’clock enables manual adjustment of the day
of the week; while the other at 5 o’clock manages the month. Fast
GMT, date corrections and time, meanwhile, are all controlled
through the crown. The watch also features a 24-hour counter
appearing at 8 o’clock.
The stainless steel watch is equipped with an alligator leather strap
lined with Alzavel calfskin.

Bell & Ross


BR 123 Golden Heritage
Tipping the hat to antique watches and the aircrafts of the
1940s is Bell & Ross’s BR 123 Golden Heritage, an even more
faithful model to the original 123 Sport Heritage model whether
in aesthetic, technical and historical codes. It touts a polished steel
case, a traditional domed crystal, a fine black aluminium bezel
with 60 minute gradations, as well as a black dial with appliqué
gilt numerals; but the most remarkable features, of course, are the
hands and indexes in orange complemented by a matching hot-
stamped gold calfskin strap.
Heralded the epitome of elegance, the 43mm BR Golden
Heritage beats to the heart of the Calibre BR-CAL305 and is
water-resistant to 100m.
