Saint Honore is one of the few brands that are able to encapsulate the charming Parisian style in every single timepiece they manufacture. Since 1885 it has been the main supplier of chic luxury watches of unrivalled design.

Swiss Made quality is the essential attribute of these timepieces which enjoy distinctive aesthetics, classy materials and extravagant details.

Lutetia GMT comes in a splendidly constructed cushion shaped stainless steel case with rounded edges that are very interestingly paired up with a gold rectangular bezel. The contrast between the different colors and geometry are simply hypnotic, thus augmenting the sophisticated look of the watch. The design is complemented by a round silver winding crown with easy-grip gradations and a scratch-proof sapphire crystal. The watch is built to withstand to pressure associated with water depths of 50 meters.

The dial of the timepiece is very elegant and classy. The combination of colors is what really sets in motion its distinctive beauty. The white dial plate is adorned with gold color Roman numerals that mark 12 hours and a grey inner disc that includes white Arabic numerals for indicating 24 hours. The hands are considerably prominent and showy. The “glaive”-style minutes and hour hands are gold color and quite bulky and the GMT hand is in a vivid gray color. For enhanced night legibility, there are 12 small squares coated with luminescent material next to every hour marker, a thin lume line in the middle of the minutes and hour hands, and a glow in the dark arrow tip on the GMT hand. This makes it possible for the wearer to read the time even in the dark.

The Lutetia is the first Saint Honore timepiece that offers the GMT function. This model has been developed and created for travellers who can’t and won’t compromise style. The local time is displayed on the main dial by pointing at one of the Roman numerals while the home time is shown in the gray disc around the dial by indicating one of the 24 hours Arabic gradations. The model also offers a date function represented by the wide date window located at 6 o’clock. All the functions available on this watch can be easily controlled by using the winding crown.

The timepiece comes with a high quality quartz movement that offers all the precision and functionality one needs from a modern GMT watch. As always, Saint Honore has designed this model with timeless perfection in mind.

Panerai Radiomir 3 Days GMT Oro Rosso

A superb watch that has been created to show a simple design with a more glamorous feel, the Panerai Radiomir 3 Days GMT Oro Rosso is a must have for any man who wants to be in tone with the latest fashion trends.

The watch is made with red gold which is actually a mix of gold, copper and other metals such as platinum, offering a distinct appearance while being malleable enough so that the watchmakers add more intricate details and fine elements in it. The percentage of copper has been customized in order to offer this watch a certain red hue that is distinct to this particular collection while the platinum prevents the metal from becoming oxidized. Another reason why the producers chose this material is the fact that it has a high resistance and it’s perfect for watches that need to pass the test of time, especially an elegant model such as this Panerai Radiomir 3 Days GMT Oro Rosso.

The Panerai is a hand-wound mechanical watch that has been equipped with the classic Panerai P.3001 calibre which has been created entirely by the brand. It is 6.3 thick and contains 21 jewels while the dial measures around 47 mm. As functions the watch comes with the usual: hours, minutes, small seconds, date, but more features such as a second time zone, a power reserve indicator on the back and a seconds reset button, which will prove to be extremely useful. The case is made from polished red gold and has a removable wire loop strap attachment and allows a screw down winding crown. The dial has been created with brown luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers while the date has been added at 3 o’clock and seconds at 9 o’clock. The sapphire crystal is formed of corundum with an anti-reflective coating and a 1.4 thickness. It also comes with a beautiful personalized alligator strap that is very comfortable and has been adorned with a lovely polished red gold buckle. Water resistance is for 50 meters which means this is not the watch you want to take with you while diving but it’s no problem if it gets wet from rain or swimming.

Fake GMT Master

I recently bought this watch for my husband as he is a fan of Rolex watches and always wanted one. I wanted to give him this for his birthday and surprise him with a nice looking watch. Obviously the price tag on an original Rolex watch kept him from doing so and I decided to buy one for him and chose replica watch, the Rolex GMT-Master which is one of his favorites.

The customer service on this replica watches website was so and so, I wasn’t particularly impressed with their promptitude as they didn’t deliver everything in the time they said they would. Another issue with the service was the fact that I found that the person answering the calls and emails wasn’t very polite and sometimes even rushed me, however I told them how to properly package the watch so that it would be packed as a present.

My husband is stationed at a military base and the address on my credit card was obviously not the same as the one I wanted the watch to be delivered as he currently doesn’t live with me. It took a very long time for the staff to understand these particularities of my order and they sent me two emails where the address stated was the same on my credit card although I told them numerous times on the phone and through emails that I wanted the watch to be delivered as a present to my husband’s address. This was a very long process which ended up with my present arriving one week after my husband’s birthday, which really upset me.

However, even if this part of the service was bad my husband told me that the present came wrapped really nice with a cute birthday card and I really appreciated that. I haven’t seen the watch live, I’ve only seen it in pictures from my husband and on webcam, but as much as I saw, I can say that it was pretty similar to the original watch and that added to the overall satisfaction. The watch also doesn’t look like a replica and seems nicely crafted. Also, the most important part of this ordeal was the fact that my husband really liked the watch and received a lot of compliments while wearing it, so as long as the watch satisfies him, I am happy with this experience.

BELL & ROSS Aviation GMT

The Bell and Ross Aviation watch BR03 51 GMT is a watch that has been designed to withstand the harshest conditions and to be used by professionals. Unfortunately for most collectors and people who would love to have this watch, the series is limited, which can make it an important buy and will surely spike up its popularity. But this also means that not a lot of people will be able to enjoy it. Apparently only 50 pieces have been created so if you are a fan of this watch you should hurry up, unless it is already too late.

Its functions are simple but very important for professionals: it has Swiss-made automatic movement with GMT function and will display another time zone simultaneously with the time zone you set as default. It is also water resistant to 100 meters and has a very large display date at 12 o’clock so that you can easily access it and see the date whenever you want.

In terms of design, the watch has striking beautiful blue highlights on the main hour and GMT hour hands. It also has an amazing PVD coated steel case with a carbon dial which gives the watch its resistance. Another interesting thing that is only available to these beautiful limited series models is the fact that they are engraved on the back with the numbers 1-50, meaning that you will know exactly which one of the watches was yours. Usually, watches with a round number on the back are worth even more to the collectors and if you are the lucky owner of the nr 1 watch, in time its value will grow remarkably.

The design is also influenced by a plane’s cockpit adorned with various small details but always including large markings so that people can check out the watch and see in a fraction of second what they want to see. Besides professionals, this watch can be a great tool for travelers, especially those who travel a lot between continents and need to know the time. So make sure that you get one of these if you love the model and hurry up because 50 pieces is a very limited collection.
