A special red and maroon color dial Rolex Cellini. Seldom see a red color dial watch nowadays.

Its dial dark maroon color is fading from outer to the center of the watch dial.

Pretty interesting. Does it last long, Cocas?

Hi @D'Andy  Bro. It's normal Seiko 5 Sports lume , not as lasting as MM300,Sumo,& Monster. But I still can see the faded lume after 8 hrs in pitch dark.

Laco 1925 Squad Atacama “Ninja” Reference 861632 - note the alignment of the numbers on the bezel - instead of clockwise, it is counter-clockwise - a countdown timer

Swatch Sistem 51. Totally sealed off casing automatic watch, you cannot adjust it's accuracy, you cannot service/repair it.

Good piece or bad piece?!? You buy it at your own luck. :Laughing_on_floor:

Seiko Marine Master 300m casing is monobloc.

I just discovered another special feature from MM 300 .

Its bezel clicking sounds for 0.5 second and full second are distinctively different. It's a short and low tone sound "di" for half second click, and a louder sound "da" for full second click.

I couldn't find this feature in Seiko 5, sports, monsters, and sumo bezel.

Travellers whom had utilised Swiss railways would have seen Mondaine clocks peppered all over its railway stations, and the second hand typically complete the 60 second round in 58 seconds, with the additional 2 seconds used for syncing all the clocks to exact time vide an electronic pulse. Therefore, the second hand would looked as though it had stopped for 2 seconds before the minute hand moved. And due to the quicken second hand revolution, it looked as though it was an automatic movement rather than the typical tick-tock-tick-tock quartz movement. For the Stop2Go watches, Mondaine created a one-of-a-kind caliber in order to emulate the Stop2Go clocks that it was famed for. You won't find any other watches with such an interesting function elsewhere.

Very nice! The stopping of 2 seconds before reaching full minute is unique with practical function. :thumbsup:

This is Seiko kinetic watch but it is not a normal kinetic watch.

It's Direct Drive!

Other than the rotor turning inside the watch, by turning crown clockwise, the kinetic battery can get charged too.

What best is while you are turning the crown, the power reserve indicator (the little red pointer is moving upwards).

Note the circular buttons on the center of the links. By just pressing any of the buttons, the link associated with the button pressed will disengage. a very unique way of resizing the bracelet. This is the reason why IWC bracelets are so expensive as each link comes with a unique locking mechanism

The Omega Constellation "griffes" or  claws were originally designed  to keep the crystal aligned and fix into the case. But now became a famous iconic decorative design for Omega Constellation "Manhattan these days.

This Vulcain alarm watch, also known as Golden Voice, has the logo served as Alarm pointer as well. The whole inner dial can turn to allow the Vulcain logo "V" tip pointing to the right alarm set-off time.

This is Rolex 15505, it's gold coated casing.

At first I thought it is another fake Rolex when first looking at it without much drilling down the history.

Rolex does not have this kind of casing now.

The gold coated layer trimmed can be easily seen at the case back.

My 70's Squale "Rambo" Compass watch. It's quartz movement with a real millitary style (it can be placed on top of the map with transparent case) magnetic compass.
Not only the watch is Swiss Made, the compass is Swiss Made too.
Almost forgot to mention, the compass is lume too.

(Someone crazily tested the watch and compass for 10bar water test. It passed! https://www.fh24.it/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121 ).

Still clueless why it got the name as "Rambo".

Here are pictures
 Enjoy.
