The Defy Spectrum Zenith's Fresh Take On The Rainbow Trend

[MathildaKelli]

The Gulf Monaco is an undeniably fun watch, no matter how difficult a form factor it might be for most wrists (including my own). We can't all be Steve McQueen. Speaking of the King of Cool, most watch lovers are only aware the Monaco exists because McQueen popularized it after wearing one in the movie Le Mans in 1971. Interestingly, that film represented a crossover between McQueen's movie stardom, replica montblanc horloges and Jo Siffert's racing prowess (he coached McQueen's driving in the film).We're not just about the players here. Gardy St. Fleur helps NBA players build their art collections and in turn has built an impressive watch collection of his own. He walks us through four of his favorites and one special non-watch item.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date Q9068670 is a mid-century-inspired design paying tribute to the iconic Memovox Polaris watch from 1968. It features a 42mm stainless steel case with a mix of polished and satin finishes with a black dial that plays off the faux-aged lume on the markers. Key callouts are the 12, nine, and six Arabic numerals, which punctuate the vintage look and feel.


As with falske ure much modern Breguet production, silicon plays a role; the escape wheel is skeletonized silicon and there's a silicon balance spring. Though silicon parts are more brittle than steel and are easier to break if mishandled, they do offer the advantages of not requiring oil on their working surfaces and as well (and particularly relevantly for the balance spring) they are unaffected by magnetism.Rumors swirled about a white dial, blacked-out numerals, and, of course, a new case size. But if anything – in a world where the Submariner grew to 41mm and the Sea-Dweller to 43, we'd expected the size to go up, not back down to 36. And one thing absolutely nobody expected was for it to come in two-tone.Oris always has some options in titanium, but again you're looking at a 43.5mm Aquis – a solid value at $2,450, but considerably larger and an entirely different aesthetic. You could head over to Germany and check out something like the lovely 41mm Sinn U50, which can cost up to $3,300 depending on the spec. It's great, but it's also steel, and though it is a hair thinner and the same lug to lug, it's 2mm wider than the Pelagos 39.A year ago, the very idea of a titanium Rolex was relegated to wild dreams. A prototype had been seen on the wrist of British competitive sailor Sir Ben Ainslie, but the widely circulated online photo had gotten so old that some of us began to wonder if the watch would ever see the light of day.


The lack of protection the tachymeter scale receives, means it is prone to scratches (as you can see in the vintage model above), while the box design of the sapphire crystal – say goodbye to hesalite – has the potential of catching edges at a bad angle. Wear it reasonably carefully, and none of these will be an issue of course.Brand: NOMOS GlashütteModel: Tangente – A Century Of BauhausReference Numbers:Diameter: 33mm, 35mm, or 38mmThickness: 6.4mm (33mm), 6.2mm (35mm), or 6.6mm (38mm)Case Material: Stainless steelDial Color: "Sketch paper" with replica jassen blue, red, or yellow accentsIndexes: Arabic numerals and batonsHands: Black oxidizedLume: NoneWater Resistance: 30 metersStrap/Bracelet: Black Horween Shell Cordovan strapThe Grand Seiko Elegance Collection SBGW259: case, Brilliant Hard titanium, Zaratsu polished, 38mm x 10.9mm; water resistance, "splash resistant" per GS.
