BLACK VENOM LUXURY REBEL BLACK VENOM LUXURY REBEL Black Venom Was Born for Redefining the Concept of Luxury in Watchmaking BLACK VENOM LUXURY REBEL BLACK VENOM LUXURY REBEL Black Venom was born for redefining the concept of luxury in watchmaking. It was born to complement the art of iconic pieces such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Omega with the finest technology in the field of metal coatings. Black Venom is the result of continuous research for making you not only different, but unique. It was born in 2008, after months of tests and experiments, between Riccione and Bologna. It is the result of years of experience and profound knowledge in the luxury watch market. Black Venom was the first in Italy to use PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatments on luxury timepieces. Over the years it has invested in research and development in bringing coating technologies to a whole new level. Today it uses the Dlc (diamond like carbon) formula, continuously remaining up-to-grade in order to guarantee higher and higher resistance performances. Black Venom è nato per ridefinire il concetto di Lusso nell’orologeria. E’ nato per complementare l’arte di pezzi iconici come Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Omega con la tecnologia più sopraffina nel campo dei rivestimenti di metalli. Black Venom è il risultato di una continua ricerca per renderti non solo differente, ma unico. È nato nel 2008, in seguito a mesi di test e sperimentazioni, tra Riccione e Bologna. È il frutto di anni d’esperienza e profondissima conoscenza nel mercato degli orologi di lusso. Black Venom è stato il primo in Italia ad utilizzare il trattamento in PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) sui segnatempo di lusso. Nel corso degli anni ha investito in ricerca e sviluppo per portare la tecnologia di rivestimento ad un nuovo livello. Oggi utilizza la formula del Dlc (diamond like carbon) e si aggiorna continuamente per garantire prestazioni di resistenza sempre più alti. P.10 P.68 P.74 P.90 The most symbolic Rolex sports watch. Launched in 1963 and addressed to professional pilots, with its patented chronograph movement and the tachymeter-scale bezel, drivers were able to measure average speeds of up to 400 kilometers per hour. The name is due to the fact that, back then, Rolex sponsored the 24 Hours of Daytona. lf Black Venom were to choose his Rolex ‘’Testimonial”, it would certainly be a Daytona.

In order to prevent pilots and jet crews on their Boeing jets to suffer from jet-lag, the company asked for a watch which could show both locations times (departure and arrival) at the same time. 1954 therefore marks the debut of the timepiece with ring for showing other time zones. Also appreciated for its solidity, it has immediately taken away travelers from all over the world. And it is precisely its solidity which, together with the Black Venom colour, make it a fitting timepiece even for the most incredible adventures.

Edited & written by Kesaharu Imai. P2 As we make the transition into the twenty-first century, the Omega Speedmaster, small enough to fit in the palm of the hand, is in itself a time capsule of the twentieth century.

In looking back to those days, Mr Imai and I talked enthusiastically about the Omega Speedmaster, which served as a reliable personal tool throughout my mission duration completing 22 5 orbits around the earth! An impression of the universe was beyond my expectation and imagination. As a glimpse of limitdessness followed by an awe-inspiring view of the eatth are indeed indescribable. Being overwhelmed by an unprecedented experience I was not myself for some time till I noted the positive movement of ht e second hand on the Speedmaster, which in fact recorded such data as elapsed flight time and fuel consumption.

  • A New Design for Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak Concept
    A NEW DESIGN FOR AUDEMARS PIGUET’S ROYAL OAK CONCEPT FLYING TOURBILLON GMT Le Brassus, 14 September 2020 – Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet continues to experiment with technical materials and avant-garde aesthetics with its new take on the Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT in shades of blue and grey. Looking at the past and future, this new model testifies to the collection’s uncompromising craftsmanship, pioneering micro-mechanics and futuristic aesthetics. Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT Blending titanium and grey ceramic, the case offers an ultra-contemporary frame for the cutting- edge openworked movement ticking within.

Endowed with a flying tourbillon and contemporary functions, Manufacture Calibre 2954 defies the power of gravity with style.

Fully visible at 9 o’clock, 1 the flying tourbillon is complemented by a crown position indicator at 6 o’clock and a second time- zone indicator at 3 o’clock. The movement’s blue bridges, also visible through the sapphire caseback, are matched by a blue rubber strap. The watch additionally comes with a black rubber strap. Launched in 2002 to commemorate the Royal Oak’s 30 th anniversary, the Royal Oak Concept established a new aesthetics for 21st-century Haute Horlogerie.

It contains nothing new except the post script. If you have already read the post, please disregard.) Hi all: In preparation for purchasing an Omega Speedmaster Professional, I have done the obligatory research on the use of the Speedmaster in the NASA space program. Chuck Maddox's excellent article on Omega's history with the Apollo program revealed some interesting facts that I did not know. In brief: The cal. 321 Speedmasters were purchased by NASA for the astronauts' use prior to the introduction of the cal. 861 movement in 1968. Apparently it is generally accepted that only the cal. 321 Speedmasters were worn on the moon during the various moon missions, as the initial procurement of these watches around 1965 was distributed to all astonauts at that time (two each) with as many as twenty still left in inventory and never used following the final Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Apparently, there is no evidence that a cal. 861 Speedmaster was worn by any of the moonwalkers or that NASA had procured any cal.
