EXTRA SPECIAL
When Louis Blériot became the first
person to fly across the English
Channel in 1909, he did so wearing
a Zenith. With an etching of his
history-making plane features on
the titanium case back, this
premium offering pays tribute to his
spirit. The broad fluted sapphire
crystal dome is distinctive, while
oversized Arabic numerals and
gold-plated hands make for a bold
design. Adventurers will appreciate
the 55-hour power reserve.OMEGA SEAMASTER 1948
LIMITED EDITION
During World War II, Omega delivered
more than 100,000 watches to British Air
Force members, who valued the reliability of
the timepieces. This limited edition casts an eye
back to that historic release, but incorporates the
latest technology in calibres. The technology is
housed in a stainless steel case with an opaline
silvery domed dial and polished crown. The fine
details will delight military history buffs; the flat
sapphire crystal case back comes with a hand-lacquered,
laser-engraved image of a Gloster Meteor, the first jet
plane employed by the RAF. Fittingly it has 1,948 pieces.TAG HEUER CARRERA HEUER 02
Synonymous with the glamour of motor racing since the 60s,
the TAG Heuer Carrera is reinventing itself into its sixth decade.
The 02 features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal case with a
sapphire back, while the open-worked dial showcases mechanical
prowess. The 45mm version introduces GMT function, with a
centrally mounted GMT hand making it ideal for frequent travel.CERTINA DS ACTION DIVER
SEA TURTLE CONSERVANCY
This special edition is one for ocean lovers, tying
in with 60 years of the Sea Turtle Conservancy,
which was established the same year Certina
introduced its DS (Double Security) watches.
Featuring an automatic ETA Powermatic 80
movement, it is a certified professional diver’s
watch employing special O-ring seals in the
crown and case back. The case back features
the conservancy’s logo, while an aquamarine
seconds hand is a further nod to the theme.
