NEW BREITLING ENDURANCE PRO 44 AND 38 WATCHES FOR 2024

zelin0802

Breitling has released some exciting timepieces so far this year. Some of the brand’s 2024 releases include the historically inspired B70 Orbiter watch, the Navitimer 41 in new dial colors, a titanium Chronomat design, the Red Arrow 60th Anniversary Special Edition, a unique Triumph v Breitling Chronomat B01 model, and some beautiful rainbow-colored Superocean dive watches. Joining these pieces are a range of new colors for the Breitling Endurance Pro watches, now available in an additional size of 38mm for those with smaller wrists or female collectors. Perfect for those who lead an active lifestyle and those who need a watch that looks sporty and bold, these new models benefit from the brand’s Breitlight case material, giving it that all-important tool watch look.

Endurance Pro Stronger Than Steel

Breitling is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer that never rests on its laurels. It is one of the few companies in the world where all of its movements are chronometer-certified. But that’s not all. Back in 2009, Breitling made the foray into in-house movement manufacturing. If the brand hadn’t already earned enough respect for its bold aviation watches and chronographs, making its own movements certainly changed everything. Another triumph worth mentioning is the company’s patented case material, Breitlight. We still know very little about this material, but it’s no surprise that the brand wanted to keep this revolutionary material a secret. Breitlight is tougher and stronger than stainless steel and lighter than titanium.

In sports watches, many companies use stainless steel and titanium as case materials. Titanium is known for its lightness and comfort, and steel for its toughness. But Breitlight goes beyond these qualities. It’s hypoallergenic, non-magnetic, thermally stable, and impressively scratch-resistant. These qualities are all similar to carbon, although we may never know the true composition of this innovative Breitlight material. It runs throughout the entire Endurance Pro collection – a series of light, rugged, sporty and lively sports watches for those with an active lifestyle.

The look of the Breitling Endurance Pro watches has always been slightly different from the other watches in the Breitling Professional collection. For example, the Aerospace and SOS watches. Even so, all watches in the collection share the same sporty prowess and masculinity. The Endurance Pro watches are surprisingly rugged, and their lightweight construction makes them an extremely comfortable companion on the wrist. You can wear the Endurance Pro watch to take a dip in the sea, to a workout in the gym, or with casual sportswear. This approachable sports watch is suitable for any active person looking for a watch that stands out.

The New Breitling Endurance Pro 44 and 38 Watches

So, the first notable change to mention is the introduction of the smaller 38mm size. This is a comfortable size for anyone with a wrist circumference of around 6-7 inches. The Breitlight case is more than just a practical choice for a watch. In addition to its lightweight and rugged qualities, it also has a textured surface that creates a masculine and technical feel. In addition to the new 38mm model, there is also a more familiar 44mm case – a bold and daring size for larger wrists.

The main features of the new 2024 Breitling Endurance Pro watches are the clearly legible chronograph dial with clear luminous markings, the iconic B-wing anchor design under the 12 o’clock mark at the top of the dial, and the practical pulsometer scale on the outer edge of the display. The new watches also feature an innovative compass bezel, a rubber crown (for easy grip under wet skin), a closed sealed case back, and a new rubber strap to ensure durability and longevity for a variety of sports.

Case

As mentioned above, the new 44mm and 38mm Endurance Pro watches feature a black Breitlight case and a screw-down crown to prevent water from entering the case. The rubber crown, which is matched in color to the respective model, is a standout feature that adds a more sporty touch to the design. The 44mm model comes in dark blue, orange, white, blue and red for the rubber strap and crown, while the 38mm model comes in dark purple, pink, white, blue and red, the latter three of which will appeal to a male audience. best luxury replica watches

Each of the new models is water-resistant to 100 meters and features a sapphire crystal on the front to protect the dial from damage, scratches, moisture, heat and debris. The compass scale on the bezel is bidirectional and designed for easy grip. To use this feature, simply align the hour hand with the direction of the sun. From there, find the midpoint between the 12 o’clock position and the hour hand, and that’s your north position. The case also features a closed caseback to protect the COSC-certified SuperQuartz movement inside.

Dial

The dials of the new Endurance Pro watches have all returned to their stealthy black color. These features are equipped with a large amount of Super-LumiNova to ensure optimal readability when the wearer is checking the time under stress or in dark environments. The dial features a 30-minute counter at 10 o’clock and a 12-hour totalizer at 2 o’clock. These counters are balanced by a small seconds function at 6 o’clock. The dial also features a date window and a set of oversized Arabic numerals at 4:30. The pulsometer on the edge of the display is another feature that comes in handy for sports-related tasks. Simply count 30 or 60 heartbeats and read the seconds hand to determine your heart rate per minute.

Strap

Breitling’s new Endurance Pro watch features a newly designed rubber strap that adds a vibrant touch to the watch. With a fresh, sporty style perfect for summer, the strap comes with a black buckle that matches the rest of the case.

FP JOURNE LINESPORT CENTRIGRAPHE

zelin0802

When dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, it’s inappropriate to order a fine example of haute cuisine and kill it with Heinz ketchup. Likewise, dangling furry dice from a Bentley’s rearview mirror is out of place. Unparalleled creation should be respected.

Close to Geneva’s retail boulevards and seemingly far from the shopper’s world, this is a sanctuary for those with a discerning temperament. FP Journe cheap is headquartered in Rue de l’Arquebuse. The company’s premises serve three purposes: it holds the administrative functions of the company, it is a boutique, and most importantly, it hosts some of the finest watchmaking that can be found anywhere on the planet.

As the heavy door opened for me, I was warmly received by my host, and I entered a familiar world. At least twice a year, I make a pilgrimage to FP Journe’s highly regarded watchmaking factory. The walls are adorned with horological artifacts and books, while light floods the spacious room, providing the most discerning eye with a means of seeing the remarkable quality up close. Along with the many visual spectacles among me, there is a soothing soundtrack of ticks and ticks. Luxurious furniture, optimally positioned around the room, exudes sophistication. Wearing a casual suit, I feel well dressed and ready to rate the new FP Journe LineSport Centrigraphe.

The FP Journe LineSport Centrigraphe is now available in platinum or 18 karat 6N yellow gold. The chosen case material determines the tone of the dial. 18-karat 6N yellow gold case with “ruthenium-plated” silver guilloché dial. The latter treatment fills the dial with shades of grey.

Matte 5N gold hands effectively display the hours and minutes. Their curvaceous lines fit with FP Journe’s tried-and-true design language and successfully combine functionality and beauty with radiant effects.

No aspect of the FP Journe timepiece is perfunctory, and that includes the indexes. Applied Roman numerals, made of 18 karat 6N gold to convey the message with incredible balance. The high-end brand has skillfully manipulated the digital scales to inject another oomph into the dial. The white chemin de fer follows tradition and makes reading meeting minutes easier.

However, I’m saving this for last. Positioned center stage, the three chronographs, combined with the mirror-polished frame, have equal prominence. Each register is the same size, with silver guilloche and slim red hands. 20-second counter at 2 o’clock, 10-minute counter at 6 o’clock and 1-second counter at 10 o’clock. The latter indication gets the most attention, making a frantic detour every second.

This remarkable chronograph can measure elapsed time to an incredible 1/100th of a second. Furthermore, it can display this information in a highly legible, easily interpretable form.

case

FPJourne chose to house the watch in a case made from 18 karat 6N gold. This gives the watch a distinctive red hue that surpasses even the ebullient performance of the more commonly used 5N red gold. This shade gives the FP Journe LineSport Centrigraphe an amazing aesthetic look.

The bezel elegantly blends black and gold tones, while the crown at 4 o’clock lives up to another of the brand’s legendary design codes.

At 2 o’clock, a patented rocker mechanism starts, stops and resets the chronograph. While some brands are obsessed with chronograph precision, they seem to forget the importance of the wearer’s interaction with the putter. The joystick is more intuitive to use than normal buttons, so the time from observing an event to starting the chronograph is shorter, providing a more accurate measurement of elapsed time. François-Paul Journe has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to see details overlooked by his contemporaries.

Apart from the highly polished vertical sides, the bracelet has a matte finish. Once again, this subtle detailing sets this watch apart from competing watches, but without sacrificing beauty and taste.

The Calibre 1506 is a hand-wound movement that can be seen through the exhibition caseback. As with most of FPJourne’s movements, it is crafted in 18-karat rose gold.

Any FP Journe movement has two things in common: technical prowess and finishing. The Calibre 1506 installed on the FP Journe LineSport Centrigraphe continued this reputation.

François-Paul Journe chose to equip the chronograph with its own drive train, driven directly by the mainspring. When starting many chronographs, the amplitude of the balance wheel decreases, reducing accuracy. Calibre 1506 has two independent trains, which solves this problem, ensuring that the time indication is not affected. When the chronograph is inactive, the watch has a power reserve of 80 hours. When the chronograph is running, it goes down to 24 hours.

The Monsieur Journe is also equipped with a movement with a free-spring balance. By adjusting the four masses mounted on the spokes of the balance wheel, a competent watchmaker is able to change the moment of inertia, increasing/decreasing the ratio. This provides superior precision compared to common curb adjusters.

Gold is one of the least reactive metals in existence, so it does not corrode easily. However, most watchmakers avoid this material because it is so soft that it is easy to mark with random tools. Nonetheless, the punctual watchmakers at FP Journe clearly operate the tools with dexterity and composure. Clearly, FP Journe watches are designed to last for generations. high quality replica watches

Côtes de Genève pattern and gold-engraved text on the plywood. The baseplate features a pearl pattern and the crown wheel features a sunburst pattern. Each screw head is polished, gleaming, and has a chamfered groove. The nails have polished rounded ends.

Viewing the movement through the sapphire crystal, every visible jewel, pin and screw is housed in a polished sink. The dip provides a gleaming edge between the deck and the sides. Every element of the movement has an extraordinary look.

My love for the FP Journe LineSport Centrigraphe is obvious. I have considered every element of this watch and can’t seem to find a fault. It offers the ownership experience that most self-respecting enthusiasts should aspire to experience.

In fact, the term “experience” seems most apt when entering the realm of FP Journe and its esteemed founder, François-Paul Journe. There is a sense of occasion. The watch sits on a gorgeous brown tray, the timepiece is always handled with gloves, and a magnifying glass is provided to see every square millimeter of perfection. best quality replica watches

I’ve never taken a “wrist photo” of an FP Journe watch because it looks almost disrespectful. These watches, like the peerless pieces I mentioned earlier, deserve respect. In fact, the next time I go to the company’s boutique, I’ll probably consider wearing a black tie suit.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self-winding Flying Tourbillon

zelin0802

50 years is an important anniversary for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. One of the updated models is the Royal Oak Self-Winding Flying Tourbillon, with three new additions to the collection: one in rose gold, one in stainless steel and one in titanium.

The first two have a plain smoked blue dial with the Grande Tapisserie motif, while the third has a matte blue dial. Each new model is powered by the calibre 2950, ​​which debuted in 2020, with a power reserve of 65 hours and a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. Only now, on the back of the movement is a special gold oscillating weight with the “50 Years” logo, bringing attention to the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary on the agenda.

This watch features design improvements aimed at improving its appearance. Improvements include wider bevels on the case and bracelet to better emphasise the effect of light on the surface; first link thickness on the one-piece bracelet is tapered to emphasise slimness for a more comfortable fit; slightly cut A sapphire crystal case back to better fit the wearer’s wrist; and hour markers and hands with new proportions that are more in harmony with the dial. Despite the changes, the watch still measures 41 x 10.6 mm, the same as the existing self-winding tourbillon. Audemars Piguet fake

The Audemars Piguet lettering on the dial is made from a thin layer of 24-karat gold using a galvanic growth process that the Associated Press describes as a chemical process similar to 3D printing. The letters are connected by thin chains that are hard to see with the naked eye. They are then attached to the dial with the help of the shank. Originally, the method of appending letters was developed for Audemars Piguet’s Code 11:59 series. The updated tourbillon looks great, as do the existing models that people are already lining up to buy.
