Traveling with pocket watches is a bit nerve-wracking and only one company makes anything link like Hodinkee's folios link for pocket watches. So if anyone else would be link open to collaborating to make a travel solution for pocket watches, please let me know!
The ceramic bezel is the other big change to the look. There's link now a surrounding ring link in the same metal link as the case; the ceramic doesn't stretch to the edge of the bezel itself. It's a practical measure – ceramic's great and durable, unless you happen to knock a bezel edge pretty hard and shatter the whole thing.
More specifically, and with all of my cards on the link table, I am 100% in favor of this new hand style. Back in 2012, when I was trying to choose a Bremont to call my own, not only did they not offer a white dial MBII, but I was never a fan of the old hour hand link design. I know many of you will fall on the other side of this opinion, but if I were re-buying today, a white dial MBII feels link like a better choice than my white dial 43mm Solo.
What might not be easily identified, however, is the image depicted on the caseback. Instead of an exhibition caseback that shows link off the movement, Oris opted to highlight the watch's namesake link – there's a relief engraving of the old Waldenburgerbahn link steam locomotive chugging away above the watch's individual limited-edition number out of 1,000 pieces.
You'd think all the fuzzy sweaters would obscure everybody's watches, link but nope. Aspen is a see-and-be-seen town. For an eyeful of link the best, score yourself an invitation to link the members-only The Caribou Club, which draws the swells of Aspen. "There are some amazing watches to be seen on the wrists of people in the lounge," Smith says. "And even the late-night dance floor."
