Who would have imagined that IWC would be the second brand to introduce a serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch, following Patek Philippe's introduction of the model in 1941? Forty-four years would pass until IWC launched its innovative replica Breitling and outstanding Da Vinci Chronograph ref. IW3750 in 1985.Brand: NomosModel: Ahoi Neomatik 38 Date Sand and SkyReference Number: 526 and 527Diameter: 38.5mmThickness: 9.9mmCase Material: Stainless steelDial Color: Sky blue and sandIndexes: Printed numerals and separate hour indexesLume: White SuperLuminovaWater Resistance: 200mStrap/Bracelet: Textile strap dark gray, woven, waterproofAll cars competing in the Mille Miglia have to be the same year, make, and model as those that ran in the original 24 races. But unlike a Concours d' Elegance, where rare cars sit quietly to be observed and appreciated, the cars here live their lives fully, often at the edge of a breakdown, regardless of frequent multi-million dollar values. A number of these cars actually competed in those original races and wore those years as badges of honor.


There are no stock models of this watch. Each one is created to order to match or complement each owner's Ford GT car. There is an online configuration tool for speccing out watches, and if you're not satisfied by the color combinations available you can even create your own dial color to exactly match the paint of your car. Naturally.Once any custom components are created, the watches are assembled in the United States before being packed up in a US-made aluminum box for delivery.In this episode we have the tale of two adventurous watches, the latest generation of the Rolex Explorer II and the more budget-friendly Marathon Navigator. Given that they've each authored a story about one of these watches over the course of the past week, I asked Jon and Cole to join me on the mics to chat about this latest evolution of the Explorer II's fifty-year history and a humble pilot's watch with ample do-it-all charm.Caliber: HMC 200 (center seconds); HMC 804 repliki Jaeger LeCoultre (tourbillon)Functions: Hours, minutes, center seconds (center seconds); Hours and minutes (tourbillon)Diameter: 32mm (both)Thickness: 5.5mm (both)Power Reserve: Minimum of 3 days (both)Winding: Automatic (both)Frequency: 21,600 vibrations/hour (both)Jewels: 27 (center seconds), 28 (tourbillon)Additional Details: One-minute flying tourbillon.The Bubbleback's importance in combining Rolex's waterproof "Oyster" case and "Perpetual" automatic movements didn't go unnoticed by early wristwatch collectors. In the 1980s and '90s, the Rolex Bubbleback was the watch to have, the way a vintage Daytona was in 2017 or a steel Nautilus was in 2021.


Here you can watch a live video stream from the auction room on Park Avenue. The replika Vacheron Constantin Paul Newman is Lot 8, so you won't have to wait too long to get an answer to the often-asked question, "So, how much do you think it's going to sell for?" As mentioned, there are plenty of other watches worth hanging around for, so don't walk away after the big guy has found its new owner.For me, the best model to start collecting watches is the Omega Speedmaster. Omega manufactured this watch from 1957 until today, making a large number of models with a lot of variations in case, dial, and movement. A fresh collector can find a lot of forums and blogs for accessing information about these watches, and also there is a lot of good literature on the matter. But the most important thing it is a great watch to wear on daily basis.Pilot's watches in current collections frequently mimic the look of cockpit instruments in a way not entirely consistent with simplicity and purity of design, per se, but for the target audience this is less important than how much the watch evokes the spirit of the Wild Blue Yonder. The altimeter-style date window is a perfect case in point.
