Tsovet FW331011-02

02 February 2011, 14.23 | Posted in Accessories, Watches | No comments »

selectism - tsovet

Tsovet has launched the second version of the well regarded FW44 field watch. “Inspired by the WWI infantryman’s field watch, the Swiss Made SVT-FW44 (model no. FW331011-02) answers the same call to synchronize and coordinate movement, but it does so within the business and social battlefields of today. Undeniably, the field watch and its ever increasing functionality improved the effectiveness of infantrymen and commanders alike. As soldiers scrambled out of trenches of the Somme, or engaged in flanking maneuver under the darkness of the Argonne forest, time dictated their success or failure. Similarly, today’s timepiece must also offer functionality and effectiveness—both trademarks of the classically styled svt-fw44. A Ronda 1014 Swiss quartz movement with eye port second hand positioned at 6 —comprised of all Swiss components and assembled by Swiss craftsmen—housed within a 44mm aerospace grade PVD black stainless steel case, along with hand-made Italian calf leather straps, provides unquestioned quality and reliability. The media-etched case and screw down crown repel environmental threats like wind and water. Night glow equipped with Super Luminova hands and dial markers complete the SVT-FW44.”

Marvin Malton 160 Cushion Automatic Watch

Looking for some more green, check out this Marvin 160 Cushion Automatic in a cross face green pattern. “The case, in stainless steel, measures 42mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 50 meters.” Not sure on the price on this model but it should not be too tough on the wallet. (timezone)

Momo Design Composito Watches

Three new timepieces come forward from Momo Design built around titanium, ceramic, and forged carbon. The 46mm casings shine for all three models. “The Composito, a technological timepiece with a complex structure, is completely decomposable, and made of precious and hi-tech materials…The Composite’s construction is the result of an elaborate design process based on the assembly of 3 principal parts: Case, Lugs and Back frame. The independent lugs are anchored to the back frame with an innovative patented mechanism. The back frame combined with the lugs envelops the case.” Beautiful. (tz)

TechnoMarine Cruise Sport Watches in Chocolate

Putting these out there: TechonMarine comes forward with a watch and a chrono in chocolate brown “accented” in rose PVD.

Available for the first time in brown, this new, warmer look brings some heat to the crisp fall months.” 40mil faces on these.
