Christopher Ward C70 DBR1 COSC Special Edition Watch With SuperQuartz Movement
1959 Aston Martin DBR1There’s a lot of overlap between watch folks and Aston Martin fans. I’m an amateur with cars, but even I’ve seen enough of the Bond franchise to appreciate a vintage Aston Martin. This car is a DBR1/2 that won LeMans in 1959. This is the only time that Aston Martin won that race, so this car is a very big deal indeed, and sold for a staggering 20 million UKP recently. Christopher Ward paid a chunk of change for this piece of the car:Panel from the DBR1Wonder which part of the car that is? Firewall? Anyway, they have enough metal to make a special-edition watch, 100 pieces. They are apparently big Aston Martin fans at Christopher Ward, as they had previously introduced the “C70 Aston Martin DBR1” quartz chronograph that sold out and now they’re doing the limited run with panel insets from the actual car, paired with a COSC-tested movement.
Magrette Regattare Tiki Watch
Magrette is a small independent watch brand hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. We have covered their watches in the past and they have recently announced a new addition to their Regattare line of sport dive watches. The new Regattare Tiki will offer a wider range of dial colors as well as case finishing in either stainless or PVD. The Regattare Tiki builds on the Magrette formula with strong and legible dial design backed by a sport-ready case construction which boasts 500m water resistance. This 44mm steel sport watch can be had in one of three configurations, a stainless steel case with either a blue or black dial or a PVD black case with a black dial. The very clean and straightforward design is supported by a double domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment and an automatic HeV fitted at nine on the case side (note: production PVD versions will be fitted with a PVD valve, not the stainless valve seen in the photos).
