Ayrton Senna rejoins the TAG Heuer Ambassador family

To honor this occasion, TAG Heuer is releasing the Senna Special Collection, with a specially redesigned version of the famous “Legend” steel bracelet.

Swiss cheap replica watches brand TAG Heuer breathed new life into one of motorsport’s most enduring legends this evening when the great Ayrton Senna appeared as a stunning hologram at a star-studded launch in downtown Barcelona. The event, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Swiss brand’s partnership with the McLaren Formula 1 team, was held inside the ‘Teatre Principal’ – the oldest playhouse in Barcelona – and included appearances from double world champion and McLaren-Honda driver Fernando Alonso, and Bianca Senna, Ayrton’s niece.

Endorsed by the Senna family for the occasion of the launch of Senna collection with TAG Heuer, the hologram of Ayrton Senna was a world premiere. It painstakingly recreated the Brazilian Legend in classic racing attire, dressed in overalls and with his helmet held beneath his arm. Using a sample of pre-existing audio, Ayrton glanced at his watch before addressing the audience:
“I just love racing. I just love the challenge of beating somebody else.”

“When you are under a lot of pressure, the objective is to be the one that can put together the combination of aggression and calculation that will get the best result. And, more than anything, you need a very clear mind to understand exactly when to be aggressive and when to be calculating.

“To win the championship, you need the combination of those elements.”

Ayrton was then joined on-stage by Spanish hero Fernando Alonso, who spoke about his memories of growing up TAG Heuer replica watching the Brazilian. Fernando also explained the feelings he experienced when, earlier this year, he achieved a childhood dream and drove Senna’s most iconic and successful car, the 1988 McLaren-Honda MP4/4, at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Fernando said:

“I grew up watching Ayrton race – he was my idol. And I still vividly remember seeing those iconic red and white McLarens battling at the head of the field during the 1980s and ’90s – it’s one of my earliest memories of Formula 1, and it remains a formative experience for my own desire to race.

“To be able to sit inside one of Ayrton’s cars was a genuinely moving experience; to do it in the very chassis with which he won his first world championship – one of the most iconic and successful cars in F1 history – was simply incredible.

“Thank you TAG Heuer for making this unforgettable moment possible.”

Fernando’s drive in the MP4/4 was captured for a promotional film, and was shown to the audience during the event. The footage includes him battling teammate Jenson Button, who drove this year’s McLaren MP4-30, the car that reunites McLaren, Honda and TAG Heuer for the first time in 25 years.

Ayrton Senna’s return to TAG Heuer also marked the reveal of the Senna Collection comprised of four new special-edition timepieces and new dedicated advertising campaign. Each watch features the famous stylized Senna ‘S’ in red lacquer, on the dial, case back and bezel, complete with a tachymeter scale, giving the timepiece real racing spirit and Senna’s performance touch. The iconic ‘Legend’ bracelet, with its S-shaped links, also makes a return – the same style worn by Ayrton but redesigned and rounded for optimum comfort.

Anthracite grey dial, three counters and elegant touches of ‘Legend’ red to give it the racing spirit – the same red as the famous stylized Senna ‘S’, on the dial, case back and bezel, complete with a tachymeter scale.

Ace Jewelers Rubber NATO Straps Collection

Well known to Watch fans, Ace Jewelers, part of the Ace Luxury Group based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, has just launched its proprietary collection of Ace Collections rubber NATO watch straps. These are available in either camouflage pattern or in a range of solid colors. Fully water-resistant, these straps provide a cool and affordable way to change up the look of a Swiss IWC replica watches.

The NATO strap was originally developed for use on military watches, but over the years they have gained significant interest with watch collectors and aficionados. Functional and hard wearing, they can instantly change the look of a watch, often creating unexpected and fun results. Due to their popularity, many watch brands bring out their own versions. For example, Omega released a full line-up in both textile as well as leather last year. They’re even a standard extra with the purchase of the latest generation of the Speedmaster Professional.

Ace and the rubber NATO

A quick search on the web will reveal that the possibilities in terms of color and material for NATO straps are practically limitless. Solid, striped, polka-dotted or even in sumptuous alligator, it’s all there.

However they have not been available in rubber until some unnamed genius at Ace Jewelers had the NATO sized idea to merge the two into a strap that would combine the superb functionality of the traditional NATO strap with the unrivaled water-resistance of a rubber strap so as to form the Ace Collections Rubber NATO Straps.

Dale Vito Boom,fake watches store Freak at Ace Jewelers, has officially declared the straps as “Awesome”. In fact he has been hogging the one prototype the company had for weeks so they have placed their trust in his verdict at this time.

Ace Collections rubber NATO straps range in price from 39 to 49 EUR incl. 21% VAT. They are available in 22mm only. The regular 2-piece strap is also available in 24mm. All straps and bracelets are available both in the bricks and mortar Ace boutiques as well as in the Ace eBoutique. Oh, and just to avoid any confusion, the top replica watches for sale in the pictures do not come with the straps!

Five Notable Cartier Watches Under $10,000

Cartier has a long and distinguished horological history, and in recent years, the brand has assumed a leading role among manufacturers creating innovative and complicated haute horlogerie timepieces. At the same time, the brand has launched several notable timepieces at lower price points, many of which have in-house movements. Here are five models we think merit special attention.

Cartier Santos de Cartier Santos 100

To those familiar with cheap Cartier replica watches history, the Santos name is practically synonymous with the brand name itself. In 1904, the famed aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont, complained to his friend Louis Cartier about the difficulty of checking his pocketwatch while flying his aircraft. Cartier went to work, and his solution was almost certainly the first wristwatch created specifically for an aviator. The innovation allowed Santos-Dumont to keep both hands on the controls while setting airborne speed records, which were determined by measuring the time taken to travel specified distances. Santos-Dumont was so taken with his Cartier wristwatch that he wore it religiously when flying.

A commercial version of the Art Deco-style watch launched in 1911, and today Cartier offers three collections bearing the Santos name. Our featured watch is the Santos de Cartier Santos 100, and it is one of the most recognizable timepieces in the world. Cartier offers it in two sizes – medium at about 44 x 35 mm, and large at about 51 x 41 mm (shown below). Both watches are powered by automatic-winding mechanical movements not manufactured by Cartier. The medium model in steel on an alligator strap retails for $6,500, and the large version is priced at $7,300.

Cartier Tank MC

The remainder of our selections feature Cartier’s own manufacture movements. If you seek one of these, look no further than Cartier’s recently released Tank MC. The “MC” stands for Manufacture Cartier, signifying the movement’s origins. Dating to 1917, the Tank design has certainly achieved icon status. Though it follows in a time-honored line, the Tank MC is an all-new design with modern dimensions. At 44 x 34 x 9.5 mm with slightly curved lugs, the Tank MC hits the Goldilocks “just right” zone on the wrist, and it plays well with dress-shirt cuffs.

The silvered flinqué dial is exquisitely executed, and behind it you will find the in-house 1904-PS MC movement. The “1904” represents the year Louis Cartier created the Santos Swiss replica watches, described above, and “PS” signifies petite secondes. The 1904 MC calibers are constructed with twin mainspring barrels running in series to deliver more consistent torque over the 48-hour power reserve. The rotor is mounted on ceramic ball bearings, and it winds very efficiently in both directions. The movement is visible through a sapphire display back.

The Tank MC in stainless steel on an alligator strap with a deployant buckle is priced at $7,000.

Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver

The recently launched Calibre de Cartier Diver has received positive reviews for its looks, and its integrity (in both the physical and the moral sense). This watch is the third member of the Calibre de Cartier family, and in our opinion, the design codes work especially well in this iteration. The design is a distinctive departure in a sea of dive watch look-alikes. Some may feel that Roman numerals don’t belong on a sports watch, but in this incarnation, they tell those in the know who made this watch.

The Calibre de Cartier Diver’s case measures 42 mm in diameter, and it is only 11 mm thick, which is slender for a 300-meter diver. It is powered by the in-house caliber 1904-MC. Given the Diver’s resemblance to the Calibre de Cartier automatic, it’s important to note that Cartier did not simply add a countdown bezel to that watch and call it a day. That would have been the easy, and perhaps the most profitable, approach. Kudos to Cartier for not taking the easy path.

Instead, under the watchful eye of its resident horological guru, Carole Forestier-Kasapi, Cartier went much further than most manufacturers to insure that this watch has genuine dive-watch cred. Each watch is certified under ISO 6425, the official standard for any timepiece calling itself a dive watch. Among many other things, the certification means that every fake watches store is tested to 125% of its rated depth before leaving the factory. Few manufacturers perform that level of testing.

The Calibre de Cartier Diver retails for $8,200 in steel on a rubber strap, and $8,900 on a bracelet.

Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Second Time Zone Day/Night

It’s a rare day when you find a multi-complication watch from a top-name brand with a Swiss manufacture movement for under $10,000. I guess that makes today a rare day. This watch just recently launched, so you may not have seen it before. It offers a large date, second time zone, and a day/night indicator. The second time zone does not take a traditional form – it’s a retrograde display – so it may take a second to spot. Here’s a hint: that’s not a power-reserve indicator at 10 o’clock. This display can be advanced in one-hour increments by pressing the crown.

This new watch measures 42 x 12 mm, and the silvered dial is decorated with various guilloché patterns, giving it a rich texture. The hands are blued steel, and the fluted crown is decorated with a synthetic cabochon-shaped spinel.

The automatic-winding, in-house Cartier movement bears the designation 1904-FU MC. The FU refers to “fuseaux”, a reference, in French, to the second time zone. The movement consists of 230 parts and features traditional finishing, including côtes de Genève on the plates, the bridges, and the winding rotor.

The Rotonde de Cartier Second Time Zone Day/Night in steel lists for $9,650.

Cartier Tank MC Chronograph

The chronograph is among the most popular complications, so we’re exceeding our $10,000 upper limit very slightly to include Cartier’s most accessible timepiece with a manufacture chronograph caliber. Indeed this is Cartier’s first Tank chronograph with an in-house movement. The case measures about 34 x 44 x 11.7 mm, so unlike the Tank watches of old, it makes a statement on the wrist. Cartier is noted for its designs, but we think this watch stands out as a particularly well-executed example. With most watches, if you look long enough, you can spot a detail that is not right. That’s not the case here.

The movement is the recently developed 1904-CH MC. The “CH” signifies “chronograph.” Once again, Cartier did not take the easy path by simply adding a module to the 1904-MC caliber. Instead, it designed that movement from the mainplate up to become an integrated chronograph. In stop cheap replica watches sale form, the movement retains its twin barrels, and it incorporates two hallmarks of fine chronograph movements: a column wheel to control the start, stop and reset functions, and a vertical clutch to assure smooth engagement. The movement design also allows the chronograph to run continuously without affecting timekeeping.

The Tank MC Chronograph in stainless steel lists for $10,300.

EDOX Hydro Sub North Pole 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

Born in 1976, the free diver Austrian Christian Redl fell in love with water as a young boy. He holds several world free-diving records: the Breitling replica watches most impressive being the longest ever swim under ice (100 metres), although his crossing of several underwater caves in Mexico cannot be forgotten.

In February 2015, 38 year old Redl and Australian photographer and cameraman Markus Fillinger (the first person to dive at both the North and South Poles set out on a trek from Canada to the North Pole, on an expedition codenamed Mission North Pole, the world’s first free dive under ice at the geographic North Pole. Average temperatures in February at the North Pole are -40C and the seawater beneath the ice -33C.

Equipped only with a 3mm neoprene wetsuit, and the Edox Hydro Sub North Pole Limited Edition, water-resistant to 500m, the diver beat the record of 60 metres in water at barely 2 degrees, a daunting challenge at a depth where oxygen is rarified.

Redl faced extreme, life threatening cold, unstable ice, where one slip could lead to oblivion. And sleeping in a tent in the middle of polar bear territory. The expedition, across the Arctic ice, required Redl and Fillinger to venture out from the base camp to setup a spot to complete the dive. To do so, they used Siberian huskies that walk ahead of them, because the dogs can detect thin ice using their sense of smell, effectively steering them away from dangerously thin ice that they could fall into.

The Hydro Sub is a limited edition timepiece, limited to 515 pieces, especially developed by Edox to cope with the extreme conditions the pair faced. The Swiss replica watches features a unique moveable crown protector to protect the crown mechanism from the extremes of cold and ice.

Redl and Fillinger spent weeks in the Arctic acclimatising to the bitter conditions they faced at the Pole, with Redl also honing his frigid water diving techniques at Lake Weissensee in the Austrian Alps.

“On the way down it was dark; the depth is around 2000 metres but on the way up it was just beyond words – the visibility was endless. The ice was green and black – just like the green of the new watch. I want to say ‘thank you’ everybody for the support but a special thanks to Marcus Fillinger – without him it would be impossible!” Christian Redl

The Edox Hydro-Sub performed flawlessly in the icy and difficult conditions. The model worn by Redl and Fillinger at the North Pole is an updated version that pays homage to the original while incorporating state-of-the-art 21st century engineering. The standard model features an orange and blue color scheme versus blue and lime green on the limited model. The LE version comes with a special blue dial, white applied hour markers and a lime green second hand.

The imposing 46mm 316L stainless steel watch is powered by an Edox 80 automatic movement, based on the Sellita SW-200 automatic mechanical movement, which beats at 4Hz, has 26 jewels and a power reserve of 38-hours (comparable to an ETA 2824-2). The bezel is made from steel and aluminum and rotates uni-directionally to mark dive times.

The engraved case-back features a view of the earth as seen from the North Pole, an individual cheap replica watches number and an inscription marking the Hydro-Sub’s 50th anniversary.

Dive Watch Classics: Hands-on With the Christopher Ward Trident 600

Earlier this year, British watch brand Christopher Ward announced several changes to its Trident collection, ranging from increased water resistance, optimized dial layouts and lume to new ceramic bezel inserts for the mechanical versions. When asked if we were interested in reviewing one, immediately went for the 42-mm GMT version, with racing-green bezel insert, since we felt this to be the most distinctive (and the most “British”) choice the brand has to offer.

Many people consider a dive watches replica with a GMT function to be the ultimate all-purpose watch, so for once we will not criticize the choice of a leather strap, since we deliberately decided against the many other options more suitable for use in water. Instead, let’s just enjoy the casual-looking combination of black, dark green, steel, brown, and a touch of yellow that would look perfectly at home in a Land Rover Defender. By the way, this choice also meant not getting our hands (at least for the moment) on Christopher Ward’s recently introduced in-house Caliber SH21, with a five-day power reserve, since it is first released as a limited edition displaying only the current time and date.

Speaking of availability: the Trident comes in two sizes (42-mm and 38-mm diameters), and is offered with either a quartz or a mechanical movement (SH21, ETA 2893-2, 2824-2, or SW200). Dials are available in white, black or blue; bezel inlays in red, blue, black, orange or green.

You can also choose between a bracelet and different strap options (leather, rubber or NATO), which leaves you with more than 100 different configurations. Prices start at £299.00 for the smallest quartz models and end at £1,599 for the limited, COSC-certified model with in-house movement, bracelet and 42-mm case. The cheap Omega replica watches shown here has a list price of £799.00 in the EC (and £665.83 outside the EC) and is sold directly via Christopher Ward’s website with a 60-day free return period.

Christopher_Ward_Tridente_GMT_Dial_regular_WatchTime

The C60 Trident GMT is powered by the well-known ETA 2983-2, which is also responsible for the yellow hand that adds a second timezone to the watch, bringing with it an interesting contrast to the black dial.

Christopher_Ward_Tridente_GMT_Hands_regular_WatchTime

Speaking of hands, in this particular model, the edges of both minute and hour hand seem to be a bit rough, but (thanks to the more than 3-mm thick sapphire crystal) this is hardly visible from the naked eye. You will, however, notice that Christopher Ward went with a bezel inlay that combines the traditional first-15 minutes-scale on a dive-watch bezel with the 24-hour scale characteristic of a GMT replica watches (the bezel is also unidirectional). This will ultimately affect both functions, and we feel that in this case a 2-to-22 scale would have been better, even if we generally prefer the dive-watch look over that of a GMT watch.

Despite that, there’s really not much else we found to criticize: The Trident can be regarded as an interesting option on many levels, regardless of whether you plan to dive or travel with it. Personally, we would probably have a lot of difficulties in deciding which version to go for: the new in-house movement should be the logical choice from a horological point of view; however, the GMT version is more affordable and, in our opinion, also more distinctive from a design perspective. Thankfully, we would at least have an easy decision between the 38-mm and 42-mm version.

Christopher_Ward_Tridente_GMT_Caseback_2_regular_WatchTime

What we would have changed:

A slightly less modern crown better matching the bezel’s outer edge design
A seconds hand that matches a bit better the classic hour and minute hands (even if that would mean losing the luminous dot)

What we liked very much:

Over-delivering in most aspects, yet affordable with a great price/performance ratio
Can be worn on many occasions and in many different time zones
High attention to detail (e.g. curved spring bars, depth of dial)
60-month warranty for the movement, 60-day free return period

What we absolutely loved:

Huge choice in sizes, movements, colors and straps

Budget Travelers: 5 World-Time Watches Under $5,000

It’s no secret that many watch aficionados are also avid travelers. And what could be more useful for globetrotters than a top replica watches that lets them keep track of time everywhere in the world at once? Many world-time watches will cost you as much as several overseas vacations, but we found a handful, all with mechanical movements, that you can get for $5,000 or less.

From Ball Watch, there’s the Ball Trainmaster Worldtime ($3,299 on both leather strap, pictured, or steel bracelet), which has a COSC-certified chronometer movement with automatic winding. Its stainless steel case is water-resistant to 50 meters and shock-resistant to 5,000 Gs. In addition to the primary world-timer functions (the city ring with 24 world cities and 24-hour ring), the watch’s dial has a day of-the-week display at 6 o’clock and 14 luminous micro-gas tubes — a Ball Watch hallmark — placed on the “12,” the hour indices, and the hour, minute and seconds hands, enabling easy reading of the current time in low lighting.

Frédérique Constant is well-known to many cheap replica watches sale aficionados as a purveyor of affordably priced Swiss mechanical watches, many with in-house movements. Among them is the Frédérique Constant Manufacture Worldtimer ($4,095), which contains the brand’s in-house FC-718 automatic movement. The watch has an extra-large date counter subdial at 6 o’clock, along with its 24-hour ring with day-night indicator and 24-city time zone ring. All the functions can be set and operated through a single winding crown. The three-part steel case has a convex sapphire crystal and a sapphire exhibition caseback. Two dials are available, one with a guilloché pattern in the center and black oxidized hour and minute hands, and the other (pictured below) with a silvered world-map motif in the center and blued hands.

The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Worldtimer ($4,900) is available with two different dials with world map motifs depicting two continents. The European dial features guilloché work with a Clous de Paris motif. The outlines of the silhouetted continent are in blue, matching the blued hands and hour-markers. The Asian version has a silvered dial, with a sun-brushed, satin finish on the engraved continent along with an opaline treatment on the oceans. Both versions have day/night indication on a subdial at 9 o’clock and the date on a subdial at 6 o’clock. The central 24-hour hand (rose gold on the European dial, black gold on the Asian) indicates the time in your home time zone using the 24-hour scale and city ring. To change the current time on the main dial, simply press the push-button on the side of the case, which advances the 12-hour hand.

Montblanc introduced a pair of new world-time watches in its TimeWalker collection, called Montblanc Timewalker World-Time Hemispheres, at SIHH 2013. Each of the replica watches for sale has a dial with a world-map motif as seen from the poles — one for the northern hemisphere, one for the southern. The cool twist is that the Northern Hemisphere watch only has northern cities indicated on the world-time disk; the Southern Hemisphere only has southern cities (some of which, Montblanc admitted, were rather difficult to find, since much of the Southern Hemisphere is made up of ocean). The Montblanc Timewalker Northern Hemispheres watch (pictured) comes on a leather strap and costs $4,900; the Southern Hemisphere version, on a steel bracelet, comes in at an only slightly budget-busting $5,270.

Even if your travel-watch budget is below $2,000, you can snare a very striking world-timer from Tissot. The Tissot Heritage Navigator 160th Anniversary ($1,650) — a modern re-issue of a watch originally created in the brand’s centennial year of 1953 — has a dial that indicates the time in each of the 24 major world time zones simultaneously, with each time zone represented by the capitol of a nation within that zone (i.e., “New York” for Eastern Standard Time in the U.S.). Once the watch is set for the time in the wearer’s chosen country, the times in the other 23 zones are easily readable as the world cities line up with the numerals on the 24-hour disk. The watch’s automatic movement is a Swiss-made chronometer certified by COSC. Click here for more details on the Tissot Heritage Navigator 160th anniversary.
