SEIKO Velatura Automatic-Chronograph Is Won by the Australians

Thus she perfectly suits the role as both women certainly have a formidable edgy glare. Not getting on the bad side of the resemblance, it is also said Ridley has reached out to Leonardo DiCaprio, rather predictably, to play Maurizio. He's not attached yet, but then neither is she. It is rather hard to imagine these two actors together. I am not blanking on something but a real diamond needs a good chase. But this latest news doesn't concern a new project. The English producer has long talked about doing a movie about the Gucci family. The plot would reflect Gucci's family squabbles that ruined the Gucci biz until Maurizio, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, became the new head of the design house. During its glamorous and heady days in the 1970s and '80s Gucci family was selling $500 million in luxury products annually. Then in 1995, as he was about to debut a line designed by then-newcomer Tom Ford, Maurizio was gunned down by a hitman in front of his Milan apartment.The story took an uglier turn when his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiano, being convicted for plotting Maurizio murder and even hiring the killer, was sentenced to 29 years in jail.In another case Jolie may catch that ill-fitting look just like in "The Good Shepherd" with Matt Damon. Scott has more anticipated projects on his plate, like the "Alien" prequel, the "Monopoly" board game adaptation, and at least two films set to go depending on what happens with Monopoly and how long we have to wait for Brave New World.

Introduction to Fortis: Swiss Aviation and Space Flight Watches

The face also contains a circular moon phaseindicator (more on the moon phase feature below), power reserve and time calibrationindicator, and a fairly large circular LCD "pie" with five slices whichcount off seconds. The circular second counter seems a little large and superfluousto me, but it's a popular option among other G-Shocks, so I guess it's well likedby many. It can alsobe configured to auto-illuminate when the solar sensors in the watch detect thatit is too dark for you to see the face, and when it is tilted toward your face (about40 degrees). The fact that the topLCD is actually an LCD grid, or dot matrix, with a couple hundred "pixels" makesit very versatile, and allows the watch to do slick things like display the hometime while in world time mode. The lower LCD is primarily used for time, or for configuringwhichever mode you happen to be in. And considering the fact that the GW-400J doesn'thave a lot of power or space to work with, I think it performs admirably, thoughnot was well as the much larger and power hungry vibrating TissotHigh-T.I like the fact that the thermometer can be used for measuring both airand water temperature, although I really wish I could toggle it from Celsiusto Fahrenheit. Admittedly, I can't really blame the watch or Casio for thissince it was never meant for an American audience, however one thing I can blamethe watch for is the fact that you don't seem to be able to reset the thermometerto its factory calibration. Overall, I like the Casio GW-400J, except that:It only support Celsius for temperature display, and not Fahrenheit.

The Seiko Spring Drive Spacewalk

For those of you, like me, who can't read Japanese, toggle this featureon and off by holding down the illumination button for several seconds. The vibration function of the watch works sufficiently, though it's a little weakerthan I'd like. I was always able to feel the alarm, but the hourly timesignal vibration only grabbed my attention less than half the time. And if you wereplanning on using the vibrating alarm as a way to wake yourself up in the morning whileallowing your partner to sleep in, you will need to be one incredibly light sleeper.I think the GW-400J generally serves the purpose for which it was intended, however,which is the ability to keep track of time, events, and intervals while participatingin water sports when wind and waves would keep you from hearing a faint high-pitchedbeep. The GW-400J doesn't have the standard G-Shock illumination button on the bandlike just about every other G-Shock I've ever seen. The upper right-hand button activatesthe electroluminescent backlight instead, which gives the watch a non-standard G-Shockbutton configuration. The only real disadvantage is that the backlight is slightlymore difficult to activate in the corner, and you have one less buttonto use to interact with what amounts to a pretty complicated digital watch. Givenmy choice, I would rather see it in it's familiar G-Shock position on the band,freeing up the top right button for more important functions. The intensity of the backlight is sufficient. It can be set to active for eithertwo or three seconds, depending on how stingy you are with your battery.

The Sinn U1000

Today I'd like to introduce you to another maker of fine aviation watches that we think you'll like: Fortis. Meaning "strong" in Latin, Fortis was founded in 1912 by Walter Vogt in Switzerland, and has made a strong resurgence since 1987. Specializing in flight and space watches, Fortis is the official supplier to the Russian space program and the International Space Station. They have a strong design aesthetic of clear faces, instrument-themed hands, and high-contrast dials. Very functional, and with their ETA/Valjoux movements, quite reliable as well. I'd like to pick a few out of their lineup to go over in detail. I really like the rubber-coated black crown, and the face is legible and uncluttered. The cosmonaut rating adds a nice story to the watch, and lets you enjoy a little bit of the Walter Mitty that all watch geeks seem to have. (Wait till I get my Omega X-33 review posted!)There are a couple of nits I do have to pick with Fortis. Like some other old-guard companies, they won't sell over the net, so you can't find official prices or click-to-buy from an authorized dealer over the internet. I hope they see the light on this one, as this is annoying and a tad bit off-putting in my opinion. Secondly, the ETA movements they use are available in five grades, and from what I've seen, they're using the base grades. Still very good, but unspectacular as far as quality goes.

The New Rolex GMT Master II

I've actually opened one of these and regulated it; it's well-made and quite sturdy. I was impressed, and enjoyed wearing it for a day. The orange second hand is wonderful, and I really like the uncluttered face and dramatic hour & minute hands. With a street price of around $600, it's a good price for a solid Swiss watch of high function and durability. The Fortis SquareMost Fortis watches look a lot like the Flieger, but they've recently branched out a bit and introduced the simply-named "Fortis Square". It has the ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, and looks quite a bit like the Flieger, but changes to a dressier 38mm square case and leather band. I personally prefer watches with day and date, so I like how this looks. Features include a stainless steel case, AR-coated sapphire, screw-down crown, screwed caseback, and water resistant to 100m (330 ft).But that's just the beginning. The case and dial are filled with silicone oil which, having the same refractive index as the sapphire, removes reflections and makes the dial visible from all angles and avoids the underwater "mirror effect". Sinn had to use quartz here because no mechanical movement can function while immersed in oil.But the silicon oil isn't just for visibility. In conjunction with the construction of the case, and a special gasket system, the oil allows the watch to withstand enormous pressure. For the sake of comparison, a Rolex Submariner is rated for200-400 meters (about 650 to 1,300 feet) of depth, depending on when it was made, and a Rolex Sea-Dweller isguaranteed to 1,200 meters (about 4,000 feet).
