Reissue of Classic - Panerai Luminor Marina Militare PAM05218

Prior to 1993, the brand exclusively supplied watches to military personnel before officially shifting its focus to the public market, ushering in the so-called "Pre-VendĂ´me" era. Among the models launched to the public in 1993, besides the well-known Luminor 5218-2021/A and Mare Nostrum 5218-301/A, there was another military watch that was never publicly released but is highly sought after by collectors: the Luminor Marina Militare 5218-202/A. Today, it serves as the inspiration for the Panerai Luminor Marina Militare PAM05218. Buy top clone watches online, buy Panerai Luminor replica watches at twatchclone.ru.

 The PAM05218 retains the spirit of its predecessor at its core, remaining faithful to the original design while comprehensively enhancing its performance and structure with modern watchmaking technology. This is the first time Panerai has so faithfully reproduced the appearance of the 1993 military watch. The case adopts the classic Luminor shape, made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 44 mm and a thickness of approximately 13 mm. The surface has a matte sandblasted finish, but instead of using the original PVD coating (due to its weaker scratch resistance), it uses a black DLC coating, which retains the black appearance while significantly improving hardness and wear resistance.

The remaining case features retain classic Panerai elements: domed sapphire crystal, the iconic crown guard, and 300-meter water resistance. Besides the distinctive all-black case, the PAM05218's dial also accurately replicates the "mismatch" design of the original 1993 5218-202/A—due to the changing color of the tritium material over time, the hands and numerals exhibit different colors: the numerals are deep orange, while the hands tend towards white or light green. The dial features a single-layer structure (not the original sandwich design), inlaid with numerals and baton hour markers, coated with a dark beige Super-LumiNova® luminescent material, while the black hands are adorned with green and white Super-LumiNova®, recreating the unique visual difference of the original. The "Luminor Panerai" and "Marina Militare" lettering retains the font style of the original 1993 version, and the entire dial is matte black to avoid glare.

The closed case back features a screw-in design, crafted from solid stainless steel, and engraved with the "Officine Panerai Firenze" signature and the historical OP logo. Inside, it houses the Panerai in-house P.6000 manual-winding movement, 15½ lignes wide, with a 3-day (72-hour) power reserve, a frequency of 3Hz (identical to the original), and displays only the hours and minutes. The watch features a vintage-style gold-brown calfskin strap adorned with stitching details, paired with a black DLC-coated stainless steel trapezoidal buckle. A black rubber strap and matching buckle are also included.

Black DLC Titanium Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic 104268

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic in black DLC titanium is an entry-level option in the series, second only to the highly complicated tourbillons, chronographs, and ultra-thin precision models. A key feature of the series' debut model is its monochromatic matte finish, crafted entirely from sandblasted titanium, from the case and dial to the bracelet https://www.twatchclone.ru/.

The 40mm diameter case is quite imposing, and its 5mm thickness, when viewed from the side, is astonishing. The matte black finish further enhances the visual compactness—black is known for its slimming effect. The rest retains classic features: a crown set with a black ceramic cabochon, sapphire crystal on both sides, and 30-meter water resistance.


This black DLC titanium version features a matte black dial. To ensure legibility (within reasonable limits), all hour markers, hands, numerals, and indices are finished in gloss black. Contrast is good in daylight, but don't expect too much at night—yet the appearance remains outstanding.

Inside the case is the Calibre BVL 138 movement, key to the watch's slim profile. This movement reduces visual thickness through several techniques: firstly, the movement's larger size allows most parts to be laid out in a flat layout, avoiding stacking; secondly, a platinum micro-rotor winds the watch, eliminating the extra thickness of a central rotor, while platinum enhances inertia. In addition, the movement has a 60-hour power reserve, making it practical and reliable.

Gold and Steel Vacheron Constantin 222

The historic Ref. 222 collection is a large family comprised of multiple timepieces. Between 1977 and 1984, the collection offered 24mm, 34mm, and 37mm models, with cases made of 18K gold, stainless steel, two-tone gold, and diamond-set versions. The modern Ref. 222 is based on the 37mm model known as the "Jumbo." Although 37mm is no longer the standard size for men's watches and is even considered "small diameter," the name "Jumbo" has been retained, perhaps for the sake of heritage. Buy top TAG Heuer clone watches online, buy replica watches at twatchclone.ru.



As a luxury sports watch, the Ref. 222 features an integrated case back and bracelet, a toothed bezel, and the brand's iconic Maltese cross engraved at 5 o'clock, making it one of its most recognizable design features. The historic Ref. 222 features a closed case back and is powered by the Vacheron Constantin Caliber 1121 movement. This movement uses a free-sprung balance with a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour, setting a benchmark for ultra-thin automatic movements of its time. It is a modified version of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 920, sharing a certain lineage with the Patek Philippe clone Calibre 28-255 and Audemars Piguet Calibre 2120/2121. 

The modern Ref. 222 retains the core design of the original while optimizing and improving some details to better suit modern aesthetics and usage habits. It continues the original's calendar feature, with the date window located at 3 o'clock. The baton hands are coated with luminescent material, echoing the hour markers. The most significant improvement from the original is the addition of a see-through case back. Through the sapphire crystal, the 2455/2 movement can be observed. Unlike the historical model, which was a modified version of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 920, the 2455/2 is a completely in-house movement, with the Geneva Seal engraved on the movement plates.

The Vacheron Constantin Calibre 2455/2 has a diameter of 26.3 mm and a thickness of only 3.6 mm, a frequency of 28,800 VPH, and a power reserve of 40 hours. In homage to the original, the 22K gold rotor is engraved with the number "222". In 2025, the Ref. 222 series will introduce a stainless steel model – also derived from historical timepieces. Aside from the material difference, the two watches are essentially identical in specifications, including a 7.95mm case thickness, extensive brushed finish, the same movement and transparent case back, and 50-meter water resistance.

RICHARD MILLE RM 07-01: A Color Revolution and Traditional Craftsmanship

The RICHARD MILLE RM 07-01 Colored Ceramic Ladies' Watch Collection represents the brand's latest breakthrough in the fusion of color expression and craftsmanship. Inspired by the Memphis design style that emerged in Italy in the 1980s, this style is known for its unconventional and free-spirited approach.

The colored ceramic version features three vibrant hues: light pink, light purple, and light blue. The case is made of biocompatible TZP ceramic—a material crafted using a special process that is not only thin and lightweight but also exceptionally strong, ensuring the colors remain vibrant and unfaded over time. The red gold skeleton at the center of the dial is engraved with wave curves and geometric patterns, creating a multi-material dialogue with laser-cut rubber inlays and diamond-set details, perfectly echoing the "free-spirited" core of the Memphis style.

The RM 07-01 is powered by the brand's in-house developed CRMA2 automatic movement. Its variable geometry rotor uses two moving weights to adjust the winding efficiency, precisely adapting to the different activity habits of various wearers. The base plate and bridge plates, crafted from grade 5 titanium alloy, undergo micro-blasting and plasma treatment, ensuring mechanical rigidity while infusing the openwork structure with translucent light and shadow. Despite such complex manufacturing processes, the metal middle case remains remarkably shock-resistant, successfully passing all of the brand's impact tests.

Butterfly-themed Watch - Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Papillon Automate

On the Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Papillon Automate watch, an ethereal butterfly alights on the "Garden Dial," flapping its wings one to four times in succession according to the watch's power reserve, presenting us with a lifelike, poetic world! Creating poetic worlds is a strength of Van Cleef & Arpels, relying on the Maison's exquisite craftsmanship and technology. See, the butterfly rests on a flower carved from mother-of-pearl, its wings crafted using two shades of stained glass enamel, visually remarkably transparent and full of spirit. The surrounding plants are decorated with champlevĂ© enamel, and some rounded blades are crafted using curved stained glass enamel, presenting a gradient blue-green effect. Furthermore, the dial background is set with blue, pale purple, and violet sapphires, echoing the shimmering water surface. The enamel technique and gem setting give the dial a richer sense of depth, showcasing Van Cleef & Arpels' exquisite craftsmanship and extraordinary artistry. 

Meanwhile, the Maison's watchmaking experts are also fully utilizing their creativity and expertise. The watch houses a self-winding mechanical movement crafted by Valfleurier, offering a 34-hour power reserve. It also features a random automaton and push-button animation module that captures the wearer's movement patterns and reflects them on the butterfly wings. When the watch is not worn, the wings flutter gently every 2 to 4 minutes; when worn, the wing fluttering quickens. Pressing the push-button time display button on the left side of the case activates the butterfly's wing flapping. The best Breitling Avenger replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

Panerai Radiomir Otto Giorni Eight Days PAM02088 With Chinese Numerals

The primary inspiration for Panerai Radiomir Otto Giorni Eight Days PAM02088 watch can be traced back to the brand's earliest military watch history. In the 1940s, Panerai created the Ref. 3646 dive watch for the Italian Royal Navy, and the dial design at that time was derived from Rolex's California Dial concept: Roman numerals in the upper half and Arabic numerals in the lower half, combining recognizability and practicality. Now, the PAM02088 boldly innovates on this classic structure, replacing the Arabic numerals in the lower half with Chinese characters, while retaining the Roman numerals in the upper half, forming a symmetrical "half Roman, half Chinese" layout never before seen in the brand's history. This combination is not only a visual highlight but also symbolizes the fusion and dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures.

The 45mm Radiomir features a cushion-shaped design crafted from Brunito stainless steel (1.4441 LVM). This steel undergoes multiple hand-brushing processes, deliberately removing some of the black PVD coating to create an antique, weathered copper-green texture. Each case exhibits slightly different wear patterns, like metal sculpted by time, carrying warmth and a story. The linear lugs and tapered crown maintain the classic proportions of the Radiomir, resulting in a robust yet elegant overall design. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it's suitable for everyday wear or recreational diving.

The dial's color gradient transitions from black to charcoal gray, understated yet layered. Combined with the railway-style minute track and geometric hour markers (including the horizontal rectangles at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and the inverted triangle at 12 o'clock), the overall layout is clean and rhythmic. The hands are crafted from polished blued steel. The blue color is not achieved through painting, but rather through precise heating and oxidation at approximately 300°C, resulting in a pure color and enhanced corrosion resistance. The beige Super-LumiNova® X1 luminescent coating on the hands and hour markers gives the dial a soft green glow in the dark, while also creating a slightly vintage, aged look, echoing the Radiomir series' consistent military heritage.

Under the sapphire crystal case back, the structural beauty of the P.5000 manual-winding movement is visible. This in-house movement boasts an eight-day power reserve thanks to its double barrel design, eliminating the need for frequent winding. The movement vibrates at 21,600 times per hour, and the balance bridge features a transverse structure, ensuring stable operation and excellent shock resistance—one of Panerai's classic long-life power reserve solutions. The dark green calfskin strap also uses a vintage-textured leather, echoing the Brunito stainless steel buckle, exuding a casual yet steady vibe. This green is not bright, but it is very pleasing to the eye, giving the whole watch a touch of intellectual charm amidst its fortitude.
