B is for Basel...

The case, in stainless steel, measures 42mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 100 meters.

Movement is the Swiss automatic ETA caliber Valjoux 7750 with 25 jewels. Dials can be had in black or silver.



LOVE THIS ONE:



Waltham was a recognised pioneer in precision chronometry instruments from the early days of the railway and supplied most railway companies in North America and India.

The case, in 18kt white, yellow or rose gold, measures 43mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and it is water resistant to 30 meters

Movement is the Swiss automatic La Joux-Perret caliber 3513 which is COSC-certified as a chronometer and features a 22kt white gold rotor. Complications include big date and power reserve indicator. Dials can be had in white or black, and the crown features a blue cabochon.

Not bad.

Waltham is old school, like everything but the crown, man i'm a picky ! Love the Certina brand and would love to get a DS-3!

. . . winners!

Both pretty nice; I like the larger subdials, not too conspicuous because the same color. The Waltham is cool. The case kind of reminds me of an (dare I say?!) older Invicta model, the Espadon I think it was called.

More AWESOME watches A ! The Certina has a terrific
silver dial, that shows off the black or gunmetal hands, and
markers perfectly ! A stunning case as well, along with a
nicely stitched strap and great movement too !..Looking at
the Waltham and the first thing that comes to mind, is WOW !
This is different !..Kind of a classy diver ! I like the marker
shapes, the 8 and 4, the rings on the dial, and the red around
the power reserve ! Even like those dots in the middle of the dial
and that crown also !..Both are EXTRA nice imo !..Thanks !

Has anyone ever found a watch AT did'nt like? Not a chrono guy but Certina has some nice vintage pieces in their history. Thought Waltham was to SNBC as Marcel Drucker is to QVC. Who knew they made some decent stuff?
