Maurice Lacroix Watch Masterpiece Mystery Mens Limited Edition MP6558-SS001
Without a doubt, the Maurice Lacroix Mysterious Seconds watch is one of the most interesting timepieces ever developed by the Zurich-based manufacturer. Its unique design is limited to just 250 pieces worldwide and has been crafted from stainless steel, measuring a 43mm diameter on the wrist. Its partially skeletonised design allows a glimpse into the mechanical engine inside its structure. Beautifully executed, the selling point of this watch from the Masterpiece series, is most certainly its unique second hand which moves across its sub-dial majestically, putting on a performance that adds to its charm and character. Its satin-brushed case with polished bevelled edges that taper towards the lugs is meticulously crafted to donate a comfortable finish on the wrist. On the front of the case, the anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire glass is dome-shaped. On the reverse, it opens up to provide a good view of the performing Calibre ML215. This reliable movement sits inside a 50-meter water-resistant case offering you a 48-hour power reserve for those occasions you may want to alternate with another favourite from your collection. To complete the elegant look of the Mysterious Seconds watch, with main timekeeping hands located in an off-centre dial, the Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Mysterious Seconds watch is completed on a black alligator leather strap.
Bremont Ex-Display Watch H-4 Hercules Steel Limited Edition H-4 Hercules Steel
When it comes to commemorating true icons of aviation history, British watchmaker Bremont always nails it. The Henley-on-Thames brand’s limited-edition watches are so niche and collectable because they each entomb a real slice of history into their design. The Bremont H-4 Hercules watch, in true Bremont style, incorporates original birchwood taken from the fuselage of the iconic silver flying boat, the H-4 Hercules. The dial itself is characterized by a black metal dial with Super-LumiNova coated hands and indexes for easy timekeeping in the dark. A small second sub-dial is located at 9 o’clock, dedicating extra room on the main timekeeping scale for a red arrow-tipped hand which indicates to a 24-hour track around the edge of the dial. The BWC/02 automatic sits inside the watch’s 43mm sized 100-meter water-resistant case, boasting its beauty from a sapphire glass caseback. The Bremont H-4 Hercules watch is designed to commemorate the famous ‘Spruce Goose’, originally developed by Howard Hughes. The largest aircraft in the world for its time was defined by one minute of flight on 2nd November 1947. The limited edition of just 300 pieces worldwide is sure to appeal to your collection if you have a particular soft spot for historically-inspired aviation timepieces.

There are many reasons to invest in a Seiko Astron watch, that’s why it makes our list of Black Friday sale watches at C W Sellors this month. Of course, Seiko upholds a reputation of excellence for its affordable Japanese movement-powered watches, but the brand has also contributed remarkably to the watch industry as a whole since it first launched the Astron in 1969.

If that wasn’t impressive enough, Seiko has continued to innovate and refine the Astron watch, now offering models like this GPS Solar watch, which uses a unique GPS geo-location feature to find wherever you are in the world.
