Post by tempusmaximus »

An article from time and tide watches , with a short list of vintage watches they would like to see reissued .

Is there any vintage watches that are not on that list , you would like to see reissued ?

Just looking at that list, there's a few there I wouldn't mind seeing reissued, starting with, but not limited to, the first on the list...

As to others, I'll give it some thought...

Not mad on any of those. I have always loved this, the Tissot Navigator World Time, but although it was re-released only a year or two back, they made it in 43 mm. A 38 to 40 mm version would be perfect.

A 40mm case BP FF (they did issue a LE Mil Spec version this year - so no reason to think they won't follow up with a non LE as a normal part of the range).

There are a few vintage watches I would like to see reissued , the first and last on the list from the 9 above would be nice . But I have chosen this , the Omega Seamaster 120m chronograph AKA "The big blue" Omega cal 1040. The helmet shaped case puts some off it , but I think its a awesome looking divers watch .

^^^ That's a good choice Bernie. IIRC the case is very similar to the Flightmaster in the article. It's quite tall and the angle up from the lugs is quite steep; it makes it a little clunky from some angles so it can be a bit marmite. If the reissue could address that, they'd have a real winner on their hands.

I would say nothing.
The aim of vintage is the fact that they are old and with an history.

But I have to confess that I love old Oyster case.
So a 1680 red, why not :D

The Breitling Top Time he illustrates would do me nicely but perhaps a little bigger, maybe 40mm from 37mm. It would really complement and contrast with my '69 Top Time gold cushion case which I've had since new.

Pretty much any 34-36mm stainless steel dress watch.

There seems to be a lack of simple watches that aren't way bigger than they need to be. Most of the updated models seem to lose the balance too.
