3. Blancpain Tribute To Fifty Fathoms No Rad

The matt deep black dial is punctuated by geometrical hour-markers, combining traditional round dots, rectangles and a diamond-shaped mark at 12 o’clock. The chapter ring, the hands and the time scale on the bezel all feature ‘old radium’-coloured Superluminova reprising the beige-orange hue of vintage indicators bearing the patina of time.

4. Carl F. Bucherer Heritage Bicompax Annual Lucerne

 

This watch pays tribute to a 1949 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Town Sedan owned by the Carl F. Bucherer family that was sold in the early 1950s. It was repurchased in 2013 by the current chairman Jörg G.

The light blue sub-dials with chronograph minutes and small seconds counters, and the light blue ring with a tachymeter scale surrounding the silvercoloured dial, are inspired by the colours of the restored Lincoln. CFB Caliber 1972 automatic chronograph has a power reserve of 42 hours. Its annual calendar complication accounts for different month lengths – 30 and 31 days; so the date only must be corrected once a year, on March 1.

9. Breitling Top Time Chevrolet Corvette

 

This watch is part of a trio of racing chronographs launched by Breitling as a modern-retro interpretation of the original Breitling Top Time models from the 1960s, inspired by the iconic cars of that era. Top Time Chevrolet Corvette in red and black is based on the striking design of the Corvette C2 from the mid-1960s.

10. Graham Chronofighter Superlight Carbon Tourbillograph

Powered by the G1780 automatic columnwheel chronograph-tourbillon. Two patented inventions make the watch’s tourbillon unique — the offset construction and the open cage allow other wheels of the movement to intersect with the tourbillon’s orbital plane allowing a broader opening in the dial to see the device at work. Secondly, the tourbillon rotates between two characteristic bridges, designed for rigidity in a bent shape making it more rugged and reliable than tourbillons of other styles.
