Unusual, with unique features especially designed for Air Rescue Service, the Sinn EZM 12 has been one of our cool surprises fomr the 2017 edition of Baselworld. A proper tool watch in a class of its own – clearly what you can expect from a brand such as Sinn, the German utilitarian watch maker.
While we are mainly focussing on the major watches introduced during this 2017 edition of Baselworld, with our usual focus on high-end watches, one watch in a much more accessible price range pleasantly surprised us: the Alpina Startimer Pilot Automatic. Nothing too fancy, nothing to renew the concept of a pilot watch, yet, what we have here is a highly qualitative automatic offer, with a very competitive price… Alpina obliges. Here’s Alpina’s new take on its best seller, the Startimer Pilot, and it comes for less than Euro 900.
Oris’ reputation in terms of pilot watches is not to be debated anymore. Their Big Crown Pro Pilot collection is composed of reliable, well conceived and efficient watches for pilots. Still, most of them are modern iterations. But for Baselworld 2017, the brand will look back at its past, by reviving its first pilot’s wristwatch with a special limited edition piece made in homage to the original. Introducing the Oris Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition.
British watch maker Bremont’s London-based “Basel-On-Thames” event has officially started, and they have announced a broad swath of new models and line extensions. From new divers and pilots’ watches to the return of the Norton, there is plenty to see.
My name is Evangelos Sarikas and, in my opinion, the pilot watch has been the most successful type of timepiece design for more than a century, which is why I wanted this look for my new Theta watch brand from Greece that will have a Swiss movement.
Whether or not you agree with me, I feel that this is the watch Breitling should be making – so it’s good that they actually are. At Baselworld 2017, Breitling will debut this Colt Skyracer, which is the tool watch everyone should want from the brand.
Since 2001, Xēzo has been producing limited-run timepieces that offer a whole lot of bang for the buck. I recently had a chance to spend some time with two of their pieces, the Xēzo Air Commando D-45R and the Air Commando D-45S.
If you’ve been longing for something “extra special,” Zenith has you covered with a whole line of aviation-themed watches that includes the new-for-2017 Zenith Heritage Pilot Extra Special Chronograph in bronze. It appears to have a lot going for it, and pricing is borderline tempting as well.
