Kobold – Arctic Diver ‘Swiss’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a great tool watch, over-engineered for extremely rugged wear. This version of the Arctic Diver is made with the tried and true ETA 2824-2 movement over Kobold’s new ‘in-house’ movements. If you’re considering this piece you should know they look exceptionally impressive on\u00a0custom straps from Rob Montana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jaeger-LeCoultre : Master Calendar : Q151842A<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This piece would be considered a grail watch by many aficionados. \u00a0An In-house movement designed and manufactured by one of the most prestigious names in watchmaking. \u00a0This is a full calendar complication with power reserve, yet the dial is clean, not overly crowded. \u00a0This piece received our top grading of Like new and comes complete, with full box and papers with recent purchase date. \u00a0It timed out within chronometer specs and a strong (300+ degrees) balance amplitude on our timing machine.<\/p>\n

Zenith showcasing its El Primero Cal. 400 36’000 VpH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A high beat chronograph movement like this is truly a pleasure to watch in action. It is just so smoothly operating with no stutter or hesitation to the movement of the seconds hands. \u00a0This very recent model is a \u00a0a nice improvement over earlier versions with a larger case and easier to read dial. \u00a0This specific piece was owned for only a few months by a careful collector and is in pristine condition – 99% Like New would pass for actually new.<\/p>\n
