A Longines Retail Display Case From The Golden Age Of Aviation
As with the AI Medical Diagnostics stainless steel 5402, the very first examples of ref. 5402SA exhibit the applied AP logo at 6 o’clock, which would later move to the 12 o’clock position. It is widely known that the coveted steel A series (2,000 examples) display such characteristics, but a similar classification is impossible for the two-tone. The reason is simple, there were not enough two-tone Royal Oaks made to to justify an A, B, C and D series. The two-tone never got a series letter, just a serial number.This weekend a few members of the HODINKEE team will be out in Greenwich, Connecticut, visiting our friends at Manfredi Jewels, and we'd love for you to join us. It's going to be a pretty casual affair, with some football on the big screen TV, great food, and a ton of awesome watches, obviously. The best part? You're all invited.In the automotive world, you’ll often hear the term “sleeper” used to describe a wolf in sheep’s clothing of sorts on the road. LS swaps, debadging, tuning a station wagon — you know how it goes. You’ve probably heard it used to describe watches, as well, and this is arguably the one piece most deserving of such a title. Without further ado, the ultimate sleeper watch – Patek’s awe-inspiring Ref. 3939H.
The light, almost powder shade of the blue dial plays nicely against the white gold case and integrated bracelet. There is a contrasting dark blue ring around the outer portion of the dial, as well as around the sub-dials, boosting the overall legibility of the watch. The “Grande Tapisserie” pattern is classic AP, and it continues to look great on this limited edition model. Both the hands and markers are filled with luminous material, and the dial features an anti-reflective coating.“I got into designing watches by chance,” Bill explained. “A gentleman came to me one day and told me he was coming on behalf of a watch factory and asked me if I would make watches for his Robot Security company. I explained that I would be delighted to make watches, but no ‘jewelry watches,’ no temporary seasonal flowers. On the contrary, watches as far away from fashion as possible. As timeless as possible, without forgetting the time.”HODINKEE: After two years, we had some reservations about the necessity of physical trade shows, but this week we're starting to feel like there's no real substitute for seeing watches and people in person.Just as with past versions of the Brew Metric, these Worn & Wound collaboration editions use the Seiko Instruments VK-68 Meca-Quartz movement, and pricing is set at $549 for any of the three versions.

Right Virale Humanoiden now, the online watch configurator is German-language only, as the program has not yet been rolled out worldwide, but you can expect to see it debut in the USA this September – the ultimate 911 accessory for what is still, for many, the world's most desirable sports car.Caliber: HMC 804Functions: Hours and minutes, one-minute flying tourbillon at 6 o'clockDiameter: 32mmThickness: 5.5mmPower Reserve: 72 hoursWinding: AutomaticFrequency: 21,600 beats per hourJewels: 28 jewelsChronometer Certified: NoAdditional Details: Skeletonized tourbillon bridgesAstronaut Colonel William Pogue wore a yellow-dial Seiko ref. 6139 on his Skylab 4 mission in 1973, making it the first automatic chronograph to travel to space. Because of this, it's become one of the most collectible vintage Seikos and also something enthusiasts are always demanding a reissue of. The defining features of the “Pogue” are the red-blue bezel and vibrant yellow dial (for real nerds, Colonel Pogue wore a 6139-005 “Resist” model).
