Tornek-Rayville TR-900: A real "hard" wrist

Posted On : Dec-08-2011 | seen (551) times | Article Word Count : 660 |

It does not take much to realize when a watch has been designed as a fundamental part of equipment of war.

Today very rare - he says the long list of "replicas" more or less well made that inspired him - was one of the few watches divers who managed to get himself enlisted by the U.S. Navy.

Because of an automatic Blancpain Calibre, Calibre A1361 is just the same in those days rode the first Fifty Fathoms , a diver's watch was the massive turntable, with a particular indicator above the 6 o'clock position, able to detect the rate of moisture speaks volumes about his personality.

These consisted of a moisture-sensitive element such as cobalt chloride (CoCl2) deposited on one half of which consists of a sphere, as opposed to the other - painted pink ink - which served to mo 'reference.
In following a change in color of the active part, the military took him to the wrist was immediately able to determine the moisture content.

The tonneau shaped case a little steel is about 40 mm and was water-resistant to 400 feet (120 meters) deep. The face was matte black with indices and pellets, along with special hands were all covered by the luminescent substance called Promethium-145, a radioactive substance, but with half-life of two and a half years. The bidirectional ring, very thick, was knurled for easy grip.

It 'was built in no more than 1,000 units and is approved in accordance with Military Specification MIL-W-22 176 set in 1961 and in force from 1965 to 1974. The cap, as required by the U.S. government reports the written approval ("MIL-W-22176"), the serial number with the words "NONMAGNETIC" and the symbol for radioactivity, the latter - beyond the its actual meaning, and the substance used to make it brighter.

The few lucky fans and collectors of rare military watch, when the original, if you hold it tight. At this link (where you can see more images of the TR-900) have even made a "tracking" of serial numbers.
To him, his treatment from a private collection of war hero.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Of the first Fifty Fathoms there had already spoken in Robert " Blancpain Fifty Fathoms: the clock of Neptune "almost three years ago. Allocation to remember his words even as - almost sixty years ago - these timepieces have written one of the most fascinating pages in the history of diving watches .

Created in 1953 by a special commission from the French Navy established already at the time the archetype of the perfect dive watch today. It was built in about 20 different versions, all complying with strict military requirements.

Blancpain now wants to make a tribute with 500 pieces inspired by the Fifty Fathoms in the '60s that produced by combining vintage aesthetic with the latest technical features of the movement Calibre 1315 manufacturing. This timepiece has the same main characteristics at the time created a solid reputation: resistance to 30 atmospheres, the hands on the dial and oversized indexes which guaranteed a good read.
Oh yes, once these watches were used only by professionals as tools , few were using them in everyday life and no one "allowed" to wear as it is today even formal occasions ... If everything is the opposite now perhaps a little 'is also on the Fifty Fathoms.

The Fifty Fathoms Limited Edition 2010

The rotating bezel is a key element for this watch, equipped with checkering and advancement of the inevitable snap that allow easy and precise handling. Even its curved glass (which I miss so much in other divers today ...) has been faithfully recreated, but this time instead of exhalation using the most reliable and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The housing is provided for the protection of the parapets of the crown, especially very useful, but - in my opinion - a little out of place 'with the spirit of a faithful reissue. Beautiful and practical instead of the rubberized canvas fabric strap.
