There are two main branches of the Speedmaster Professional family, one that encompasses the Moonwatch and its myriad changes since its introduction and another branch that covers all of the anniversary models, special references, and limited editions. The first branch alone could fill a book – and does so if you are interested in the definitive resource on the subject. With the almost endless expressions from the Speedmaster over the years, not all are widely known and appreciated. Some are very rare, like the skeletonized american platinum eagle edition of 50 or the Golden Panda one-of-forty JDM Omega speedmaster, and some just never got their due. Nicknamed the actual “Chocolate Blue, ” this Speedmaster (reference 311. 30. 42. thirty. 13. 001) was produced from 2007-2013, and while it was never a limited edition, it was also not created in large quantities. The dial is brown, like an old Watch that has gone “tropical” – the term for dials that have faded from long-term exposure to sunlight. The actual lume is also yellowed slightly to match the particular tropical brown. Unlike most “fauxtina” though, this color is not overly yellow, but more off-white. It is the best use of colored Super-LumiNova this writer has ever seen. Besides the dial change, this is every bit the typical Speedy Pro almost daily, with a Lemania 1863 caliber that is a better-finished version in the 1861 since it is visible through the sapphire caseback.
Possibly launched a decade prematurily ., before modern versions of vintage watches really removed, this watch is an hardest gem within the deeply collectible world of typically the Speedmaster. Most of them . different Speedmasters I have been fortunate enough to come across, this is the one that I personally fell in love with and have since added to my own collection.
Thanks to decades associated with supporting racing all over the world, TAG Heuer enjoys a close as well as important relationship with the associated with motorsports. The actual merger regarding TAG and also Heuer was born of a shared familiarity and fervour that the two entities had for Formula 1. Heuer pioneered the idea of view brands selling teams along with drivers, and one of the early drivers to proudly wear their timepieces was the Swiss driver Jo Siffert.
Siffert was praised for wearing an Autavia ref. 1163 with the white face, black sub-dials, and blue accents. The watch featured here is a re-edition that was produced in order to honor Siffert, who proudly wore his Autavia until the end involving his career – one which included 2 Formula 1 Grand Prix wins, two class wins at the 24 Hours connected with Le Mans, and a standard win in the 24 hours with Daytona. Siffert also helped his friend, actor Steve McQueen, prepare for his role as the lead in 1971’s Le Mans. This included helping him pick out a TAG Heuer gran carrera Monaco as the watch to wear on his arm.
Featuring often the Caliber 11, with its opposite side overhead and 1970s shape, this is a watch Jo Siffert would have recognized immediately. The rectangle pushers tend to be something new to the re-edition, but they fit the case well and are less likely to get damaged as you track lap times (or simply enjoy the chronograph while you wait for your coffee order to be ready). oris artelier s 38 watch replica
