Some of my newer models!

I love collecting old watches but i do like the newer watches as well. The newer models are bit more fun to wear and are very distinctive in design and the materials used. They are bigger as well, with some models having diameters of 41 MM to 52 MM.

Here are a few of my newer models:

32 Degrees - Elevation -
Model 9855 - The 32 Degrees Elevation has an automatic movement with 20 jewels, the case is 47mm x 15mm stainless steel with a screw-down diver's cap, curved sapphire coated mineral crystal, an exhibition back with Côtes de Genève bridges and rotor. The water resistant up to 5 ATM. The complications include, dual time hour -minute sub-dials (can be used as a regulator function), big date window at 12 o'clock marker, day window at 3 o'clock, month window at 9 o'clock , and luminous hands and hour markers. The watch has chronometer style side buttons to set the date and the month complications, and a pin push button to sent the day. This is no perpetual calendar function by all means. You have to manually adjust the date from 30/31 to 1 (if you don't, the date counter will run to 39 before changing back to 1 ). I love the look of this watch with the face being a light red, with black numerals and second marks. The hands are aviator style, and the sub dials black and white. The date complication sits a bit too low to read easily, but the other windows are easy to read. The Crown is massive but interesting enough it is comfortable to wear. The one thing i love about this watch is all the attention it gets when i wear it.


Invicta II -Sport Chronograph Elite Model 4892 - Chronometer with a Tachymeter in the inner bezel, 3 sub-dials ( 2 upper ones measure the chronometer's minutes and hours, and the lower sub-dial regular second hand when the Chronometer is off). Stainless Steel case with Sapphire Chrystal, water proof to 100 meters, Japanese Quartz Movement, Date Complication, with the aperture at classic 3 pm position. This watch features silver -mica roman numerals on a white dial. The hands are luminescent aviator style. The Case is 44 mm about the size of the Invicta Pro-Diver. The watch is very comfortable to wear and it feels solid on your hand. The band is stainless steel with a woven pattern and a fold-over clasp.
