      Baselworld starts tomorrow, and brands are starting to announce their new products.

      First up is the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time (5524R) in rose gold, now with a matching ladies version (7234R). I recall @Giles liked the white gold version from a few years back, and now he can get a matching model for @Madame Buttonfly! 😃

      Breitling have announced a Navitimer Super 8, which has a 46mm case and a 50mm bezel! Clearly it's not aimed at fans of small watches. More at Monochrome.

      They've also announced a three hander version of the Navitimer, which has a more wearable 38 mm case. Again, Monochrome has the details.

      Rolex and Tudor are due to have their press conferences later today. The rumours are pointing to a new GMT on a jubilee bracelet.

        I love reading your watch news.  Looking forward to seeing what Blancpain drops.      I will be watching this space. I enjoy fine watches vicariously through others.

          Those are remarkably understated (by their standards) Breitlings.

            Thanks @browniemcghee. I'll keep an eye open for Blancpain releases.

            @Chris it's a new regime at Breitling, which might explain why things are being toned down. 🙂

            Tudor have unveiled the new 1926 line. What, not a Black Bay variant? :o

            Oris have brought out a new Diver Sixty Five with a bronze bezel only. @JDelage no need to worry about a cheaper model coming out five minutes after you bought yours, as the case body is steel.

              That last Oris is beautiful.

                Hodinkee are getting very excited about the new Patek releases. By far the best so far is the Aquanaut Travel Time Chronograph with an orange rubber strap.

                Ben Clymer is getting an orgasm over the platinum perpetual calendar with a salmon dial (it's a bit boring), Stephen Pulvirent is about to sell a kidney for the Nautilus perpetual calendar in white gold, and there's a world time minute repeater.

                @JDelage there's another bronze Oris, the Big Crown Pointer Date, which looks good, and is nearly cheap enough for the other watch thread.

                        @louisbosco the prediction was wrong, it's got a Pepsi bezel on a steel case and bracelet. More at Rolex.

                          Looks like the coke bezel ended up on the Tudor Black Bay GMT. 😉

                            OK, I was wrong about the Tudor GMT, it's got a Pepsi bezel. It looks black in the photo.

                            There's also the Black Bay Fifty-Eight, which is smaller than the original (38mm vs 41mm), and has a new in-house movement.

                              I'm liking the Seamaster Seventieth Anniversary models, particularly with the small seconds. Details at Hodinkee.

                                The wait for the Rolex Pepsi GMT is going to be astronomically long, people have been waiting for that forever. I'm tempted to get on the list for it.

                                  My bronze Oris sixty-five is my favorite of the 5 watches I've bought in the last few months (3 sold or to be sold). The color and finition is awesome. I might get that new big crown. I have always wondered about pointer dates… It's a bit small though.

                                  That Patek looks great in orange, but people who think they can sell a kidney and get one are overestimating their kidneys...

                                  People are going to be exited about the smaller Black Bay I suspect.

                                    I'm not really sure why Oris doesn't get more love and Tudor is so hot. I find the mechanism to adjust the second time zone of this watch fascinating. Hoping to get it on the wrist at some point to see how it wears

                                        i wonder what their pricing for the rolex gmt will be.. hopefully around the same figure as the batman.. which in that case. i wouldn't mind trading up..

                                          Nice new Zenith Defy non-chrono skeletonized watch on IG. It has a nice Royal Oak-ish vibe. Love the detail on the second hand…

                                            I believe it's about the same ~9k USD

                                            The increased power reserve is a nice upgrade on top of the aesthetics. It's up to 70hrs now.
