Northern Monkey

I'm on a health buzz at the minute, so decided to feed both addictions at once.

Which model please?

I quite like this recent addition and it didn't break the bank. It is a Seiko SNZH55 automatic (excuse the poor quality pic) with a fifty five fathoms custom dial and hands from hobokies.

Looks like fenix3

I should add I may be selling a refurb one garmin are sending me back in the next week or so.
Pool clock is good enough for my poor swim.

Just back from Berlin. Happened across a watch shop just by chance. Got talking to people in there and they make watches on premises. Their master watch maker came down and introduced himself. The company were specialist in making dials for planes and the navy. They based this dial on some instruments that were on the ME 108

Anyway after a bit of banter and impulse buy they threw in a spare leather black strap as well. 5 year warranty is standard. The watch is a limited edition I was told and only 10 were made, it. Won't be on their website I was told.

Interesting to see their "Bremen" range commemorates, along with his two German colleagues Koehl & Huenefeld, the Irish pilot, Colonel James Fitzmaurice, co-pilot of the 1st East-West transatlantic flight.

Yeah,

The lady in shop was all excited when I said I was from Ireland, she went over to another fella and then a few shop employees appeared, from QA to Master watchmaker(only one). They stated to tell me about the Bremen watch and how the plane flew from Baldonnel..

It only occurred to me after I'd had it on for a while how good a match the pepsodent hands on this Dutch UG are for the gansey I'm wearing.

I'll draw a tasteful veil across the gansey but that's a lovely watch. I'd forgotten how nice a watch that UG model is. A classic military timepiece. 35mm?

I didn't realise that they did that. I have a couple of early quartz which go through batteries quicker than Stephen Milligan went through bin liners. I'm sure I'd be exchanging christmas cards with the chap at Timpsons before not very long.

Not a perpetual calendar unfortunately, it's an IWC Aquatimer Day Date Chronograph: http://www.iwc.com/en/collection/aquatimer/IW3768/

The mounting on the left is a nitrogen release, for deep diving (it's come in very handy, lol)... crown and chrono functions are on the right. The bezel moves in two directions, but the internal rotating bezel only turns in one direction & locks... It's got some really nice functions and mechanically has some interesting technology + a very contemporary look that still retains the family qualities going back through the years... The more I wear it, the more I like it.

The main purpose of this watch watch was a daily driver that can deal with the extreme temperatures and conditions where I live, look smart for work, look better with a pair of jeans and also manage an impromptu splash in the pool...

Leather straps don't last very long here, so a rubber strap seemed like a good starting point when I was looking for this watch.

Looks beautiful. IWC is a brand that seems to appeal to me more, the older I get. Not sure what that says…:)

Seweryn

My very recent one...

7 months since anyone posted in the "today I'm wearing" so I thought I'd give it a wake up call.

I'm wearing this old thing from WW1 today.



The faux radium is all my own work. Quite proud of that. I don't get out much.

Hopefully tomorrow the postman will be delivering this 420 from Meranom. I am going to transplant the dial and movement into my 090 as I want the date complication at 6 o'clock.
