The Audemars Piguet RD5's chronograph reset mechanism uses a new "rack" instead of the traditional "heart-shaped cam." This is because the heart-shaped cam used to reset the chronograph hands on traditional chronographs has a minor issue: when the chronograph reset button is pressed, the reset lever must push the heart-shaped cam firmly, returning it to its original position, allowing the chronograph hands to return to zero. Because the heart-shaped cam is irregular in shape, the lever requires considerable force to push it. As you might have noticed, pressing the button can be a bit more demanding. This is the feel Audemars Piguet aimed to improve. Best cheap watches online, discover our affordable replica Audemars Piguet watches collection.
The Audemars Piguet RD5's solution is a completely new, unprecedented "rack" reset mechanism. Drawing inspiration from the retrograde function, Audemars Piguet employs this mechanism: upon starting the chronograph, the chronograph gear drives the rack to slide from right to left. To reset the chronograph hands, the rack instantly reverses, sliding back from left to right, returning the chronograph hands to zero. The Audemars Piguet RD5's "rack" mechanism for returning the chronograph hand to zero requires significantly less force than a traditional lever-driven "heart-shaped cam," resulting in a noticeably improved feel when pressing the button.
Why is it said to be inspired by the retrograde function? Because the Audemars Piguet RD5's "rack" mechanism shares the same mechanism as the retrograde function. If the chronograph function is always active and you don't stop or reset the chronograph, the "rack" will follow the chronograph gear's rotation from right to left, then automatically return to its original position, repeating the rotation from right to left, until you press the reset button, which instantly returns the chronograph hand to zero.
The Audemars Piguet RD5 has three "rack" reset mechanisms, corresponding to the central chronograph second hand, 30-minute chronograph hand, and 12-hour chronograph hand on the watch dial. You can also see that the Audemars Piguet RD5's square chronograph pushers are small and flat. Thanks to the Audemars Piguet RD5's "rack" construction, the chronograph pushers require 10 to 25 times less force to operate than on typical chronographs, resulting in a shorter push-button travel distance. In detail, the RD5 movement diagram reveals that the minute and hour chronograph gears are "wolf-tooth" gears, meaning the RD5's minute and hour chronograph hands "jump instantaneously." Also worth noting is the titanium chronograph seconds hand.

Elegant Design and Exquisite Craftsmanship - PIAGET Limelight Gala
For half a century, the PIAGET Limelight Gala watch has been like a shining pearl in the brand's art palace, bringing together many classic PIAGET elements and perfectly blending elegant design with superb craftsmanship.
To this day, Piaget continues its relentless pursuit of extraordinary creativity and exquisite craftsmanship, constantly pushing the boundaries of watchmaking and jewelry craftsmanship. Piaget's master artisans master over forty different metalworking techniques, resulting in the Piaget Limelight Gala collection, a signature style that showcases meticulous craftsmanship and ingenuity. Both new timepieces are powered by the Piaget Manufacture 501P1 automatic movement. Elegant curves emanate from both sides of the circular bezel, while the graceful lines of the asymmetrical lugs further enhance the 32mm case's grandeur https://www.twatchclone.ru/.

In 1957, Piaget declared its commitment to crafting watches exclusively from precious metals, an unmistakable hallmark of the brand that ushers in its latest creations. These two Limelight Gala timepieces reimagine classics through exceptional metalworking techniques. The hand-engraved motifs on the dials and bracelets fully demonstrate Piaget's achievements as a "Maison of Metalwork." This new engraving technique creates a wave-like pattern, reminiscent of silk gently swaying on a red carpet gown, capturing its dynamic beauty. The flowing bracelet design further enhances this flowing elegance. It stands in stark contrast to Piaget's signature palace-style totem motifs and departs from the snake-scale motif featured on previous modern models in the Limelight Gala collection. Each watch is meticulously engraved by the same master engraver over two days, ensuring a harmonious and coherent pattern across the clasp, bracelet, and dial.

2025 Breitling Navitimer With Ice Blue Dial
The 2025 Breitling Navitimer B19 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph features an ice blue dial, a platinum bezel and a 43mm stainless steel case, with a moon phase display at 12 o'clock.
For over 70 years, the legendary Breitling Navitimer clone, with its circular slide rule, fluted bezel, and chronograph function, has been instantly recognizable. A beloved classic among collectors, the Navitimer has undergone a major upgrade, now equipped with the Breitling Manufacture B19 caliber. This movement, Breitling's first perpetual calendar, displays the day, date, month, and moon phases. With only minor adjustments, it can continue to run continuously for a full century.
The B19 caliber is the latest in a long line of Breitling movements, a journey that began in 2009 with the release of Breitling's flagship Manufacture Caliber 01, the gold standard for chronograph movements. The B19 combines Breitling's chronograph expertise with a complex calendar function that automatically corrects the calendar for leap years and the number of days in months (28, 30, or 31).Caliber B19 has undergone rigorous independent precision testing, earning it the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) certification. It has also undergone 16 years of accelerated aging testing, including 100,000 crown windings, 3,456,000 rotor rotations, and 60,000 shocks of 500G. Designed and assembled in the Breitling chronometer workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the B19 boasts an impressive 96-hour power reserve and, with minimal adjustments, promises precise timekeeping for 100 years.

Moonshine Gold Omega Seamaster Diver 300m
Omega's exclusive 18K gold Moonshine gold blend adjusts the ratio of silver, copper, and palladium in 18K gold to achieve a more stable and long-lasting color and luster. The black ceramic bezel's indices are also filled with 18K gold. This 18K gold-filled ceramic bezel technique, which Omega calls Ceragold, involves electroforming an 18K gold sheet directly onto the ceramic bezel. This process fills the "hollowed-out" indices (laser-engraved) on the ceramic bezel with 18K gold. Excess gold on the bezel is polished away during the finishing process, resulting in the "gold indices" on Omega's ceramic bezel being remarkably smooth and flat.
The black, wavy-patterned ceramic dial, coupled with the Moonshine gold hands and applied hour markers, creates a luxurious and cool black and gold look. The 42mm gold case is fitted with a black tape and a Moonshine gold pin buckle. All 18K gold-cased Seamaster 300M watches feature the Omega 8801 automatic movement, a "luxury version" of the 8800. The oscillating weight and balance cock of the 8801 movement are all made of 18K gold. The best Omega Seamaster replica watches at captainthewatch.is.
The 18K gold Au750 logo can be seen on the balance cock of the Omega 8801. This gold cock, combined with the Geneva stripes in arabesque, elevates this gold Omega watch both visually and luxuriously, surpassing its peers. The 8801 caliber shares the same performance as the 8800, utilizing Omega's exclusive Co-Axial escapement, silicon hairspring, free-weight fine-tuning balance, a 25,200 oscillating frequency, and a 55-hour power reserve. It is Master Chronometer-certified with a daily accuracy of 0/+5 seconds and anti-magnetic to 15,000 gauss. Its performance is exceptional.
