Linde Werdelins trailer replica omega De Ville Co Axial Chronome watches for the Perfect Five

The Watch Lounge asked for a short story about my favorite watch and for what reason it is my favorite watch. Although this watch has been covered here numerous times, it might be a nice read for my fellow AP Royal Oak adepts and Gérald Genta disciples. Click here to read the article over at The Watch Lounge. Linde Werdelins trailer replica omega De Ville Co Axial Chronome watches for the Perfect Five is here! This Danish design brand gets a lot of coverage here, simply because they make stunning time pieces and they seem to be very wanted amongst collectors.

This graphic novel will unfold the LW Universe story and as a teaser, Linde Werdelin used some of its graphics in this animation Bas van Dorp, friend of the show for many years now, is always keeping his eyes open for a cool chronograph. He found this vintage Cyma Watersport chronograph from the 1940s in a watch shop in Maastricht, in the southern part of The Netherlands. Cyma is a replica omega Seamaster Special Edition watches brand with a history dating back to 1891, however they didnt survive the quartz crisis in the 1970s only to be reborn in 2005. The current Cyma company has nothing to do with the one that stopped about 40 years ago.Bass Cyma Watersport is a classic looking round chronograph with a tri-compax dial lay-out, which means it has the sub dials at 9, 6 and 3 oclock. In my opinion, the perfect chronograph design symmetry-wise. A fairly large watch case of 38mm, at least for that era, makes it replica breitling Aerospace Advantage watches perfectly wearable today as well. The dial of this Cyma is in remarkable shape, no real patina (or rust spots) and the printing is still very clear. The hands are red gold coloured as you can see below and mind the the 12 hour totalizer at 6 oclock that has the shape of curly fries, the regular seconds hand at 9 oclock has a small tip below the pinion and the minutes totalizer on 3 oclock again has a different shape.
