Basel Releases 2018
Re: Basel Releases 2018
That embossed dial on the inox is fantastic. Wish it were still quartz but should be a great entry level 2824
Victorinox hit a three run homer. They all look great except maybe the blue camo I could live without.

Up next is the I.N.O.X. Professional Diver Titanium, 45mm sandblasted titanium
case, 200M WR, AR coated sapphire crystal, unidirectional rotating bezel, and
luminous marker, marine camouflage, or black stamped mono-bloc dials with
Super Luminova markers, and hands, Ronda caliber 715 quartz, nice marine
camouflage, or black strap, and more.
Always have liked these, and they seem to get better, and better every year.

that was on wrists back in 1943. It has 42mm stainless steel case, an
AR domed sapphire crystal, 50M WR, a domed silver dial with 1940's
Tissot logo, leaf hands, and neat numbering, black vegetable tanned
leather strap, and decorated 17 jewel ETA caliber UNITAS 6498 there
underneath things.

But just in case have a little info, along with a few pictures for you.
First is the new I.N.O.X. Automatic with it's 43mm stainless steel case,
200M WR, AR coated sapphire crystal, anti-scratch treated bezel, special
stamped dial with "Swiss Army Officer's Knife" inspired texturing, Super
Luminova hands, and markers, wood grain leather strap, or bracelet,
and ETA 2824-2 automatic.
Up next is the I.N.O.X. Professional Diver Titanium, 45mm sandblasted titanium
case, 200M WR, AR coated sapphire crystal, unidirectional rotating bezel, and
luminous marker, marine camouflage, or black stamped mono-bloc dials with
Super Luminova markers, and hands, Ronda caliber 715 quartz, nice marine
camouflage, or black strap, and more.
Good find Tom! I like that blue automatic and the titanium diver. I'm sure the auto will have the goofy 21mm lugs, but the diver will likely have 22's like it's steel cousin.
Jacob, I was thinking the same thing about the case size, and UNITAS.
I know that they are actually, or were actually great for going inside
of pocket watches right?! So they were large. ..But maybe these have
been modified, or are just smaller than their earlier relatives were
somehow. Not sure really to be honest sir.
Hey, thanks Hoppy, was neat to see VSA come out with some new
versions of the I.N.O.X. Especially an automatic ! I know a lot
people wanted to see that, and it's really so cool that Victorinox
decided to add one into the mix. ..Really liking the titanium also
sir ! The second hand alone is great right?!
Re: Basel Releases 2018
You guys saw the new Khaki Field already, but wasn't sure if you had

blue, and silver dial with nickeled hour, and minute hands with Super
Luminova, blue seconds hand, three sub-dials, or counters, checkered
flag marker, neat leather strap, or steel bracelet, and ETA Swiss quartz

Re: Basel Releases 2018
That case is way too large for that movement.
Re: Basel Releases 2018
Not sure if you guys covered these new Rados already. Have a few pictures
here, along with some info for you.
First is the Rado Tradition 1965 Limited Editions which look to be available
in two variations. One is the Tradition 1965 XL Auto with 44mm titanium
case, and brushed blue dial. While the other is the 1965 M Auto with smaller
35mm stainless steel case, and silver, or white lacquered dial. With both
watches have 50m WR, and retro eye-catching rectangular markers, and
hands with Super Luminova everyone.
Inside, you have the ETA C07.621 automatic with 80 hr. power reserve
in the XL, and ETA 2671 within the M Auto with it's 38 hr. power reserve.
With brown leather strap for the XL, and cognac, or crocodile leather for
the M model.
In addition, there is the 2018 HyperChrome Ultralight which has an ultra light
silicon nitride ceramic case that is scratch resistant, and weighs just 56 grams.
With there being two versions it looks like. A nice golden bronze finish case, with
sunray root beer brown dial, Roman numerals, and leather strap. Along with
gray brown variation with a more metallic gray brown case, and sunray dial
with sleek markers, and Arabic numbers, plus nice NATO strap. Inside of both
watches is evidently the ETA A31.L02 automatic with it's 64 hr. power reserve
as well.
Then there is the new HyperChrome Bronze Automatic Chronograph
with 45mm bronze, and high-tech ceramic case, 100M WR, AR coated
sapphire crystal, black dial with vertical line finish, luminous bronze
hands, and markers, Swiss automatic movement, and leather strap.
Followed by Rado's True Thinline Nature Collection with watches that look to
bring together nature, and design. With all of the watches having either rich
earthy brown, midnight blues of water, and neat green leaf-like combinations.
Thanks to details like mother-of-pearl for water, metallized earth-like dials,
leaf-like green mother-of-pearl.
As well as True Thinline Bronze with scratch resistant matte brown high-tech
ceramic case, bronze rock-like dial, curved sapphire crystal, sleek hands, and
scratch resistant ceramic matte brown ceramic bracelet too.

Thanks a lot Matt ! Really glad that you liked it.
You know, that one has to be one of the meanest I.N.O.X.'s made so far sir !!!
Also, guys, I just thought those were some kind of cool old tools, or something nautical.
Re: Basel Releases 2018
It only took how many years before the Victorinox decided to make an INOX with a mechanical movement?
On the quartz side, at least Seiko put something a little special in their Tuna quartz. With Victorinox, I'm thinking not so much, but if anyone knows differently, say so.
I've always like the design but really, there was no reason it needed to be so thick or that big. 45mm in Ti for a quartz...you don't want to see the spacer around that movement, I betcha.

Screen shots of the new Seiko for normal people. It’s apparently the MM300 style case, but only 13mm thick. I want.
Re: Basel Releases 2018
Not sure if everyone caught this new Oris already. Just seeing it today.
Oris's new ProDiver GMT has a 49mm titanium case, along with 1000M WR,
Rotation Safety System bezel, black wave pattern dial with luminous hands,
and markers, 24 hour second time zone, central pointer hand, yellow, and
white accents, Oris Cal. 748 (modified SW220-1) and titanium bracelet,
or rubber diver's strap too.
Have some pictures right here...

Re: Basel Releases 2018
At the end of the day, this will be Seiko's big winner from this year. They put it on the right bracelet and have given it diashield and sapphire. Similar to the SBDC051, which is my favorite Seiko watch in my collection. People knock the hands, but they grow on you.
Re: Basel Releases 2018
I like the hands. I also much prefer this case shape to the 051/053 shape. Blue bezel on rubber for me.dnslater wrote:At the end of the day, this will be Seiko's big winner from this year.

If I didn't already have a MM300 I'd order one.......and still might.
Here's a side profile picture I found.
Re: Basel Releases 2018
The new Oris Prodiver was actually one of my favorite dive watches of the show – came into it positively dying for a good GMT, and while great, it's a bit too big for the everyday.
Re: Basel Releases 2018

Re: Basel Releases 2018
^ looks like the same long lugs as the LLD, but with an external bezel and better hands. I like.
I’d love to get a set of those hands and swap onto a LLD.
