Tissot Racing-Touch Watch For 2011

Racing TTouch Tissot Racing Touch Watch For 2011

For the last few years we have gotten a new Tissot T-Touch style watch each year. Last year it was the Tissot Sailing-Touch, and for 2011 it will be the Racing-Touch (Racing T-Touch). Here is a sneak peak as what Tissot's new T-Touch model will be all about.

Like the T-Touch Trekking, the Racing-Touch seems to be thinner in size, but I am not sure how wide. For the first time the T-Touch gets a rotating dive style bezel as opposed to a navigational style bezel. The touch-screen Swiss ETA quartz movement gets a few new features. One of them (not new) is oddly not "racing inspired" being a Tide graph. This seems to replace the "Meteo" function that was a weather predictor using the barometric pressure. If the watch is about track racing, I am not sure how the Tide function fits in, but is nevertheless cool. The Tide function was first seen on the Sailing-Touch watch.

The watch also feature a "Lap" function which seems to supplement the Chronograph (that is now placed at 3 o'clock). The functions seem to be an evolution on those that debuted in the Sailing-Touch, but now meant for racing duty. Notice how the LCD screen part of the dial is totally curved on the bottom - making for a nice look. The dial and case look very handsome. While I still feel the hands are too short, they are very easy to see, and I love the bright orange hands on the top version.

What you see here are one of the men's models, and the women's model with a mother-of-pearl dial. I antic! ipate th e cases to be offered in titanium, as well as the pictured steel. If we are lucky we will also see a new metal bracelet in addition to the rubber straps. Another good looking first for this collection is the use of a negative LCD screen for the men's model that is black with lighter text. It looks really sharp with the black colored dial. Water resistance is said to be 100 meters - a good sign for those worried about the water resistance issue that plagued early Tissot T-Touch models. Look out for more information on the Tissot Racing-Touch watch in March 2011.

    The Eterna Kon Tiki Concept Diver: A True Modern Classic, For Sale

    Image
    In the popular (read: crowded and too often boring) dive watch market it seems that some of the most popular recent ( and upcoming ) releases have been trips down horological memory lane. One such stand out of 2010 was the reissue of the 1973 Kon Tiki Super , from Eterna, a great brand with a long history (they founded ETA before selling it to the Swatch Group). The Eterna weve found for you today was first seen in 2005 and is also called a Kon Tiki. Say hello to the radically styled and technically impressive Kon Tiki Concept diver. Its most notable feature is its flip out case; the PVD titanium container pivots out from the skeletonized steel bridge. Why go to all this fuss? Well, aside from being pretty nifty in its own rights, its all about the bezel. You can only move the bidirectional internal bezel when the watch is flipped open, when in the bridge its solid as a rock. The crown for this watch is also impressive; it doesnt screw down, which is unusual for a watch rated to 1000...
