The Italian watch manufacturer Italo Fontana has introduced a limited edition series of their bestselling U-Boat timepieces. The 925 series has the mechanism housed in a sterling silver case.  The Classico 925 series consists of two watches limited to only 499 pieces each. The CA925 chronograph with a beige dial, and the A925 with a black a silver dial. Both timepieces are automatic. The A925 has a  sapphire crystal window back displaying the rotor.

The mens I-Gucci timepiece selection above depicts 2 timezones in digital format on the face of the watch. At 12 o’clock we have the away, and at the 6 index we have the local time indicated. At the 3 o’clock index the second display is visible. The watch with the GG strap a more convincing timepiece. I feel the green-red accent’s aesthetic is a needed hallmark detail. It’s what distinguishes the watch from the rest of the collection. Following the jump: the G Chronograph watch in black PVD appeals to me in the same way as the stripe decals the 4 o’clock index. Also after the jump: the G Chrono Extension’s case is set in diamonds totaling .78 carats. The chronographs are water resistant upto 3ATM and are equipped with scratch proof sapphire crystal lenses. These Gucci watches are Swiss made and new arrivals at Bergdorf Goodman. Prices range from $1,295-$4,390.

We all know watches worn by James bond have been provided by Omega for some time now. The current Bond, Craig seems not have the compulsion to wear the timepiece out of some contractual obligation. He follows the tradition instilled by Ian Flemming, who one said:  “[Bond] could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex.” Sean Connery once wore a Rolex Submariner, as Craig does in an interview promoting the current installment of 007.
