Black Dial Shinola Runwell Chronograph 47mm Replica Watch

First off, I apologize for the length between the last blog post and this Shinola Runwell Chronograph 47mm Replica Watch, but finding things to write about concerning new watches under $2,000 can be challenging at times. The new Runwell Chronograph is, as the name suggests, 47mm in diameter. It uses the same general design as the past versions, but the dial is cream-colored (this is basically the only difference).

Inside is the Argonite 5021 quartz movement completely assembled by people in Detroit. The 5-link bracelet does not sit flush with the case like many watches do. It is up to personal opinion whether you like this or not. Of course, it does make it easier for strap changes because the bracelet is easier to remove. Pictures as well as all the specs of the watch can be found on the Shinola Runwell Replica Watch. The retail price for the new Runwell chronograph is $900.

Cheap Corum Bridges Golden Bridge Automatic Replica Watch

The new Cheap Corum Bridges Golden Bridge Automatic Replica Watch has a tonneau-shaped case that is made of grade 5 titanium (black PVD coating) with dimensions of 37.20mm x 51.80mm. The watch “dial” as one might call it is vertically striped, which may seem like a small decorative feature but is actually a functional part of the design. I was able to see this technology in person and it really is amazing, for a lack of better words. It goes from being transparent off the wrist, to opaque on it.

Picture

I recently wrote about the new Corum Golden Bridge Replica Watch, which was one of the Baselworld novelties this year. The new Golden Bridge Automatic is the second Corum novelty I have covered here on It’s All About Watches.  The movement, the Calibre CO 313 ticks at 28,800BPH, is hand engraved, has a 40 hour power reserve and platinum weights. This watch, although it is similar to others released in the past by Corum, is a watch that should not be overlooked. Expect the price to be somewhere around the $60-$80K range. Next blog post will be about a watch under $2,000, promise.

The Corum Replica Watch were originally released in 1980 and they caused a ripple throughout the watch industry. In 2011, they released the first automatic version with a linear oscillating weight. This takes care of one of the major complaints they had with the Bridge watch, that the wearers wrist hair was showing.

Steel case corum admiral’s cup ac-one 45 squelette replica watch

The corum admiral’s cup ac-one 45 squelette replica watch caliber CO 9000 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and open-worked design sits at home in a 45mm grade 5 titanium case. One’s eyes are drawn immediately to the completely open-worked architecture which displays all of the piece’s intricate workings. One will also notice that the watch does not have a dial which allows the watch to show off the skeletonized movement. Rather than using a normal date wheel the Corum Admirals Cup AC-ONE Squelette features a transparent date disk bearing numerals that lend a very modern touch. The 45mm case also features Corum’s signature 12 sided bezel while black PVD inlays are strategically placed between the various elements to create a more interesting play between colors that gives the watch a little more pop.

Picture

Corum is at it again. The legendary La Chaux-de-Fonds based firm has just released a new Admirals Cup model. Originally launched in 1960 the Admiral’s Cup collection has regularly been refreshed with new models. However, this one is sure to make a lasting impression that people will be sure to remember. Since the watch has no dial the sapphire crystal prominently displays the metallized Corum logo. The exhibition case back gives one a different view of the piece’s inner workings, particularly the custom corum admiral’s cup replica watch rotor. The watch is water resistant to 300 meters and comes adorned with an elegant black crocodile strap fitted with a titanium folding clasp which sets the perfect finishing touch to the piece. No word yet on pricing for this watch, but regardless of price, I expect it will take its place alongside Corum’s other legendary and unique Admiral’s Cup watches.

Best Longines

Black Dial Steel Case Longines heritage 1935 Replica Watch

However, this Steel Case Longines heritage 1935 Replica Watch definitely has a pilot vibe to it. Stemming from the highly legible dial with large arabic numerals to the hand choice everything just looks like a “cliche” pilot watch. At the heart of the 42mm cushion-style case beats the L615 movement, which is based off of the ETA 2895-2. The black alligator strap matches the dial and gives the watch a good, dressy look. However, like most other pilot watches it will look good on a variety of straps, so the possibilities of this watch are endless.

Picture

With my coverage of <$2,000 Longines heritage 1935 Replica Watch the majority of the past week, it’s time to change things up a little. The newest Longines retails at $2,500. This watch, as the name suggests, is a reissue of the popular design from the 1930’s. Originally intended for use by pilots this watch ended up being more popular with the general public. It is really up to the strap to decide what occasion this watch should be worn to. I can’t believe I’m saying this but the 1935 may be the watch for all occasions (depending on strap choice of course).
Picture

There are many subtle details found on this Longines Replica Watch including, but not limited to: the beveling on the case, the small branding on the dial, and the multiple layers of AR coating on the sapphire crystal. Since this is a pilot watch, it probably won’t be seeing any water so the case is water resistant to 30m (splash resistant). I love how Longines kept the outside design as original as possible but gave us all the modern features we have come to expect from a watch of this caliber. The mixing of the new and the old on the Longines Heritage 1935 was very well executed and Longines did a very good job.

Baselworld 2014: Cheap Shinola Runwell 41mm White Replica Watch

Sorry about the lack of pictures on this one, but with very strict terms of use over at Cheap Shinola Runwell 41mm White Replica Watch, I don’t want to get sued. The new Runwell is a 3-hand watch with a 41mm case. Since their past Runwell models came in 47mm cases, this new case size will not only have a wider appeal but also look better on people with smaller wrists.

Shinola Runwell 41mm White

It will feature the hand-assembled argonite 1069.2 quartz movement that ticks at 3,600 BPH (get it?). The case style shinola runwell replica is the same as other watches in the runwell collection and the leather strap is made by Hadley-Roma. There aren’t many special things about this watch, just the popular Runwell in a new 41mm size. Click here for more information regarding this new watch. To see the rest of the new Shinola watches for 2014, click here. The Shinola Runwell 41mm White will retail for $750.

Baselworld 2014: Cheap Bell&Ross B-ROCKET Replica Watch

However, this watch stood out from the rest. The Cheap Bell&Ross B-ROCKET Replica Watch are inspired by a motorcycle that basically uses both aeronautics and motorcycle technology as a thrust system. For basic movement the B-ROCKET uses a Harley Davidson engine. If you want to go a bit faster you can flip a switch and Bond-style airplane engines will turn on for an added boost.

Picture

Trying to cover the Bell&Ross B-ROCKET Replica Watch released for Baselworld is a daunting task. There are thousands upon thousands of new models every year and trying to pick out the most interesting or most important ones can be difficult.

r. Picture

These turbines use the same technology as airplane engines which I won’t get into because I don’t want to write a multi-page essay. Back to the watch, there are two versions available, the BR 01 B-ROCKET and the BR 03 B-ROCKET. The BR 01 is slightly more complicated and in addition to the timekeeping functions has a chronograph; the BR 03 features a power reserve and big date. No information has been provided about what movements are used as of yet.

Picture Picture

As with many watches nowadays, the Bell&Ross Replica Watch has a large case and at 46mm in diameter this watch will take some getting used to. The BR 03 is in a slightly more reasonable size at 42mm in diameter. Both watches will have leather straps with pin buckles. Last year Baselworld rang up a record 122,000 visitors. However, if people could see all the new watches for this year before the show started, something tells me the number would have been highe.

Best Girard Perregaux 

Pink Gold Girard Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M. Replica Watch

Girard Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M. Replica Watch is some serious tension. Besides the six day power reserve, the GP09100-0002 movement has 271 components and 28 jewels. It is also a large movement at 17.5”’ or 39.2mm. However, the movement size is appropriate for a case as large as this one. There’s a lot of pink gold in this case at 48mm in diameter, one of the reasons why the watch is going to be so expensive (probably somewhere around $110,000-$130,000). The black alligator leather strap is hand stitched and will include a pink gold folding buckle.

Picture

Baselworld ended yesterday and there are still lots of watches to cover. Last year girard-perregaux constant escapement watch replica released the constant force escapement in a steel case. This year they have made a new version of the watch, using the same movement, but in a pink gold case.

Picture Picture

To fit a six day power reserve in a watch with two barrels they had to use 1.5 meter mainsprings in each. Many times companies can ruin watches by releasing them in a gold version, however, this new girard-perregaux watch replica looks amazing in the new case and although the price is (very) high, it will still sell around 100 of them, just because of the very limited market of people looking to drop over 100K on a watch. Very cool.

Baselworld 2014: Best Hublot Classic Fusion Cathedral Tourbillon Minute Repeater Replica Watch

Today I will discuss their next new Best Hublot Classic Fusion Cathedral Tourbillon Minute Repeater Replica Watch. The case is available in two different metals, “King” gold and titanium. Both versions will have cases that are 45mm in diameter and water resistant to 30m. This movement is brand new for Hublot and since it is made in-house you will not find it in any other watches anywhere. The HUB8001 is a new movement for Hublot. It took 24 months of research and development to perfect and with that kind of time frame there wont be any problems with this movement. Picture

Before everyone gets too excited I must add that the gold version hublot classic fusion replica (Ref No. 504.OX.0180.LR) is a limited edition of 50 pieces while the titanium version (Ref No. 504.NX.0170.LR) is a limited edition of 99 pieces. The leather strap features a deployant clasp, a nice feature to have on a watch that I am sure will be expensive. More information will be on It’s All About Watches soon. Picture

Hublot is focusing mainly on the hublot replica watch this year. A few days ago I covered Vitrail, which has a stained glass dial. In addition, the Tourbillon Minute Repeater, although it has been completely redesigned since the original release in 2010, is able to keep the signature Hublot look that buyers want. Since the watch has two complicated complications the movement has 319 parts, 30 of which are jewels.
