Introducing – Zenith Unveils Two New Models in the Pilot Type 20 Collection
Introduced a few years ago, the Zenith Pilot Type 20 is a tribute to the brand’s rich aviation history. Among other highlights, in 1909, the French aviator Louis Bleriot became the first man to fly across the English Channel and did so with a Zenith watch strapped on his wrist. Zenith subsequently crafted an array […]
SIHH 2019 – Montblanc Heritage Pulsograph – Minerva Movement and Gorgeous Salmon Dial (Hands-On)
In recent years Montblanc has made a concerted effort to remind watch lovers everywhere of its rich history with Minerva, the Villeret-based brand that it owns and that is known for the incredibly beautiful chronograph movements. Now, Montblanc further underscores that commitment to integrating Minerva’s finest handcraftsmanship with its state-of-the-art watchmaking to create new Heritage pieces inspired by the 1940s and 1950s – not the least of which is the new Montblanc Heritage Pulsograph.

INTRODUCING: Panerai’s new America’s Cup partnership and the stealthy Submersible Luna Rossa
2019 is shaping up to be the year of the Submersible for Panerai, with the brand hitting hard with a collection full of their most modern takes on the dive watch. And one of the coolest is the Submersible Luna Rossa, a very cool carbon fibre number made to honour their brand new partnership with the 36th America’s Cup challenger of record, team Luna Rossa, and their AC75. The first watch in this partnership is a 47mm large Carbotech case, and the material takes on a completely different, much more stealthy characteristic here than on the previous Carbotech model, thanks to the complementary dial and rubber strap. The dial is quite interesting too, a textured black that is literally textured, given that pieces of the sail of the Luna Rossa have been applied to it. On top of that, there’s a GMT, one of the few flashes of colour in this otherwise monochromatic landscape (the other is the small seconds at nine). The movement, hidden behind a titanium back engraved with the boat, is the P.9010 Manufacture movement. The complete package is rated to 30 bar.
The post INTRODUCING: Panerai’s new America’s Cup partnership and the stealthy Submersible Luna Rossa appeared first on Time and Tide Watches.
SIHH 2019 – Panerai Submersible 42mm PAM00683 and PAM00959
It looks like 2019 is geared to become the Year of the Submersible watch for Panerai, a rugged professional diver that perpetuates the spirit of the brand’s historic role as a supplier of underwater instruments for commandos of the Italian Navy. So far at the SIHH 2019 we’ve seen two other Submersible novelties – Marina Militare and Luna Rossa – rigged for action in XXL Carbotech cases. The new PAM00683 and PAM00959 variants of the Submersible shrink in size, come with either a black dial and black ceramic bezel or grey dial and blue ceramic bezel and are fitted with an automatic movement.
SIHH 2019 – IWC Pilot’s Watch UTC Spitfire Edition “MJ271” – the Comeback of the UTC Display
As part of its thematic focus on Pilot’s Watches for the SIHH 2019, IWC resurrects one of its signature complications, a device that was used in the past on pilot’s watches, the UTC for “Universal Time Coordinated” – a watch also known as the TZC for “Time Zone Corrector”.

SIHH 2019 – IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Spitfire Steel or Bronze – Smaller and with In-House Movements
With its focus on military/pilot watches for the SIHH 2019, IWC just launched two new 3-hand pilot’s watches under the Spitfire sub-range – those could have been simple evolutions of the standard Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII, but there are multiple updates on the model and all models will coexist without the Mark XVIII being replaced. In the same vein as the Bronze Chronograph unveiled a few weeks ago, meet the smaller, manufacture-powered and vintage-inspired IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Spitfire Bronze or Steel for SIHH 2019.
