Nouvelle PRECISTA CZECH AIR FORCE - PRS-9

[Invité]

Un "hommage" à une montre de l'aviation Tchèque.

41 x 44 x 13,7 mm, étanche 30 m, glace acrylique, calibre de stock AS1130 à remontage manuel, la lunette intégrant la glace est tournante avec son repère rouge, £385 (470 euros).

If you've been following Time Factors watches since the beginning, this one will be familiar to you. It first hit the drawing board in 2003 but techical problems delayed it for so long it was put back on the shelf until 2009, when the design and revised specification were given to another company, who overcame the original difficulties and produced what is a superb watch. At least one manufacturer boasts that it (only) takes a year to make their watches ;-).

It would have been easy enough to make the watch without the rotating bezel with pointer under the crystal but this is such an important part of the watch that I wasn't prepared to omit this important feature. The watches to which the PRS-9 pay homage had little or no water resistance, arguably because if you need water resistance in an aircraft, your watch is the least of your worries. Because the crystal rotates with the bezel, it was difficult to achieve any water resistance at all and the fact that the PRS-9 is water resistant to 30 metres is no small design achievement.

Je l'ai vue sur le site de timefactors. J'avais rate ce post. Originale ! Pas fan absolu, mais elle a quelque chose.

J'adore cette forme coussin, je ne suis donc pas objectif.
Dis donc, il est de finition sovietique, l'AS 1130......
J'aurais préféré un calibre auto même la cohérence historique n'aurait pas été respectée.
Question taille, je crois me rappeler que les Longines et les Lemania qui l'inspirent étaient également assez imposantes.

Amusant, mais quelque soit l'article que j'essaie de commander sur timefactor (y compris un strap...), la reponse est :

17 April 2012, Sheffield.

Following the launch of the PRS-9 Precista Czech Air Force 9 hours ago, I have received an unprecedented number of orders and already have a one week backlog of shipping. I have therefore decided to disable ordering until the backlog is cleared.

Apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment caused.

en effet la finition du calibre fait assez agricole
