BREITLING Avenger Seawolf Blacksteel CHRONO Águila Real MEXICANA
By TLex Breitling have partnered with Mexican artist, Francisco Toledo to help re-popularize Mexico's great national emblem, the royal eagle. Francisco Toledo, who has for many years been a major driving force in Mexico's social work is also one of Mexico's most important contemporary artists, dedicating his life to advancing the arts and helping out those who are less fortunate.
Of the features peculiar to the special edition watch are chronograph dial markers in the tri-colors of Mexican flag plus an exclusive case back engraving created by Toledo, a further tribute to the royal Mexican eagle. The watch is based on the Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel Limited Edition watch, which boasts a carbon nitride-based Blacksteel treatment. It is also the only chronograph that is water-resistant and fully operational at a depth of 1,000 meters (3,300 ft).
This unprecedented technical feat is based on the principle of the magnetic pushpiece, a patented technology exclusive to Breitling, which enables the user to activate the chronograph controls without any direct contact between the pushpiece and the movement. In other words, the function is controlled through the metal of the case.
The Seawolf Chrono is a high-performance chronograph, the Breitling B 13 automatic mechanical movement (based ETA Valjoux 7750) with chronograph and date complications and a power rreserve of 42 hours.. Its sturdy steel case is equipped with a screw-locked crown and a decompression valve. The bezel, crown and push'pieces are easy to handle, even when wearing gloves. Oversized hands and a glar-proofed sapphire crystal guarantee optimal readability in all circumstances.
The watch was officially unveiled on October 24th at the Tamayo Museum, which proceeded a silent auction donated to the FMCN project (the Mexican Natural Conservation Fund). The watches are available from Masters Joyeros and Berger Joyeros jewelers in Mexico City plus some other jewelers in Baja California Sur, Puebla, Jalisco and Quintana Roo priced 7'000USD.

NAUTICFISH Waterwall CHRONO 2000m
By TLex NauticFish of Germany have released a new Waterwall Chronograph for 2012. The new ETA-7750 powered diver has a water-resistance of 2000 meters, which is quite impressive for a mechanical chronograph. I believe the 2009 Waterwall Chrono had a water-resistance of just 500m.
NauticFish have tested and certified the water-tightness of the new Waterwall Chronographs in-house. Their high level of water-resistance has been achieved by a combination of technologies that NauticFish have taken from their existing MSC Series, which feature a 'multiplex-water-tightness system' that seals the winding crown and (in this case also) the chrono pushers, which are most vulnerable.
Because these watches are sealed so tightly there is no need for a helium release valve. Seiko make the same claim about their Marine Master Professional 1000m, which they say is also SAT Safe (safe for saturation diving). The MSC Series and new Chrono are also equipped with 5mm thick screwed Sapphire crystals and 120 click-type divers bezels.
The steel case of the Waterwall Chrono measures 45mm x 19.9mm. It is available with either a pearl-blasted or black PVD finish. It's a familiar sight, but one that combines the dial to create a very nice technical looking dive watch. The dial itself has 3D design with a wave patter and three recessed sub-dials.
The dial is available in either black or orange. The hands are with C3 SuperLuminova. The large white circular hour markers make use of a combination of phosphorescent pigments and ceramic, a relatively new Swiss technology where the luminous areas are actually cut to fit rather than painted on. Corum have a special version of the Deep Hull that uses the same technique
The Waterwall Chrono comes with a 24mm steel link bracelet with a quick-change-system (accessible from outside), so it is comfortable to switch between strap or bracelet at anytime. It is supplied in a waterproof and shock-resistant NauticFish Outdoor box along with some tools.
