The new Victorinox Swiss Army Alpnach Black Ice (ref. 14733) automatic chronograph offers a boring dial with all the usual indicators and apertures that we normally see in ETA 7750-powered watches, but at least features a rather unusual bezel.

Oris Carlos Coste Cenote Series (674 7655 7184-Set)
With the new Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series diver Oris celebrates the last year’s feat of its ambassador: master freediver Carlos Coste.

Saint Honore Haussman Forty7-24 Le Mans Chronograph
The 2011 Saint Honore Haussman Forty7-24 Le Mans automatic chronograph is massive, but energetic. If you are familiar with the brand, you must have already got the idea that the new watch belongs to their Haussman collection that offers timekeepers both for gentlemen and their ladies.
Hamilton Pan Europ Chronograph H35716545
First officially revealed at Baselworld 2011, the new Hamilton Pan Europ (ref. H35716545) chronograph is a tribute to the 1971 model that was issued under the same name. No wonder why its total production run is limited to only 1971 pieces. Comparing photos of the re-issue (below) and the original from the 1970s (can’t reproduce for copyright reasons, sorry, but you can easily google one) I can see that the new timekeeper is an almost exact reproduction of the 1971 model.
