Some pre-Basel 2009 news from our friends in Bienne, Switzerland. Every 5 years, Omega introduces a tribute Limited Edition Speedmaster Professional for the original 'Moonwatch' that landed on the Moon 21 July 1969, on the wrist of Buzz Aldrin.This coming July 21st, tag heuer watches will be 40 years ago that Aldrin had his caliber 321 Speedmaster Professional strapped on his space suit and Armstrong left his watch in the Lunar Module because of a defect electronic timing system. Check my earlier post on the exact Speedmaster models used during this mission. You can find it here: http://www.fratellowatches.com/archives/2008/07/21/omega-speedmaster-it-is-39-years-ago/.As you might know, I am a big fan of these Speedmaster Professional watches. They embody everything a perfect chronograph should be. Timeless casing, excellent readability, easy to operate chronograph buttons (no screw-down pushers), fit for stainless steel bracelets and leather straps, proven hand wound chronograph movement by Lemania (Omega caliber 1861) and a great history!Enough ranting about my favorite chronograph, le…The green production process of the watch manufacturer in Schaffhausen, is something to be proud of. Not only IWC, but a lot of other companies seem to embrace durable entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility. One of IWC's projects is to support projects like David de Rothshild's Plastiki Expedition. David de Rothschild and his Adventure Ecology organization built a 60 foot catamaran made entirely of plastic bottles, PET plastic and recycled waste products. With this Replica Rolex Watches , named the Plastiki, David and his carefully picked crew members will sail approx. 10,000 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Sydney.The name of this boat, Plastiki, was inspired by the famous Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947, lead by Thor Heyerdahl.To 'celebrate' (and make some money of) this joint venture between IWC and David Rothschild, IWC launched the IWC Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth Edition (Limited Edition). There will be 1000 pieces of this special edition Ingenieur Automatic. The Mission Earth watch has been covered here earlier this year, right…I promised to get back on my new watch At first, I was looking at Rolex watches again, but couldn't make up my mind. Although I like the new GMT-Master IIc and the Milgauss, tag heuer ayrton senna watches wouldn't add much variation to my current collection. Then I was looking at the Royal Oak Jumbo, but I am not ready yet to spend over 8K Euro on one wrist watch. However, as I have written before, I am a huge fan of the 1970s design of Gerald Genta. He designed the Nautilus, Overseas, Royak Oak and�� the Ingenieur. The original ref.1832 Ingenieur SL is highly sought-after I believe, and the prices paid for those are unbelievable. So I decided to settle for a brand new one! To be honest, IWC isn't my brand. Omega and Rolex are my brand, I like what they are doing and like most of their watches. However, there are some other brands that make one or two types of watches that I really like, and that's it. I don't care much for IWC in general. Not my cup of tea. I do like the Ingenieur and the Portugieser line of watches though. Anyway, I've read some articles on the new…

The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Antoine de Saint Exup��ry is IWC's fourth and final tribute to Antoine de saint Exupery, French pilot and poet who is still being read worldwide up to today through his short story "The Little Prince". However, he has also written other adventure books like the Night Flight as well as Wind, Sand and Stars before he went missing on a reconnaissance flight in 1944.This watch is characterized by a tobacco brown dial with a Pellaton winding mechanism. It has a date display, central hacking seconds hand and a seven-day power reserve equivalent to 168 hours.Only 1,900 of this watch have been produced making it a limited edition watch with a special case-back engraving. Of this total number, 1,149 are in stainless steel, 500 watches in 18k rose gold and 250 watches in 18k white gold. There is one watch in platinum and is up for auction.The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Antoine de Saint Exup��ry has an antireflective sapphire glass and a screw-in onion crown. This is considered the best among the other editions. And if you're not keen on squinting when looking at your watch then you will appreciate the big numbers on the dial.
