Meistersinger N 03
With an almost endless amount of watch brands to choose from, it’s hard to find something really unique or that stands out when looking for a watch. Meistersinger is one of a few brands that feature the cleanliness of just one-hand watches. If you like it or not is a personal matter, of course.
This Meistersinger N03 comes in a full package with box and papers. Although the watch is almost 10 years old, it’s still in great condition. The large display is clear to read and the dark strap makes a great combo with the creamy dial. It’s actually one of the very, very first N03 watches; you can tell by the serial number on the case back. From the back side you can also see the automatic ETA movement that features a 48-hour power reserve.
Enthusiast’s corner: Rare or exceptional timepieces
Omega FIFA Chronograph
It doesn’t always come down to excessive prices when collecting timepieces. However, this isn’t so much a timepiece as it is an interesting wrist stopwatch for watch enthusiasts and soccer fans. It was released in the late 70’s as one of three official FIFA watches, with the others being a quartz watch and an automatic chronograph watch.
This Omega FIFA wrist-stopwatch features a 45-minute countdown timer and 15-minute spare time counter in contrasting yellow. On the right side there are 2 operating buttons and a safety slider on the top to prevent the stopwatch from resetting during the play. Starting and stopping the stopwatch is done with the lower button which is also used to wind the mechanical movement. Fully wound, the power reserve is approximately 30 hours. Resetting the stopwatch is only possible with the safety slider in the right position.
Steal of the week: Great value for the money
Heuer Pre-Carrera Chronograph
This is a great Heuer pre-Carrera chronograph made in 1962. You can already see the Carrera design in a more vintage look with its dauphine hands and larger subdials. This chronograph was released just before the Heuer Carrera line was launched in 1963. It has the same movement as the first Heuer Carrera models, the Valjoux 72.
The watch is signed “Ed Here & Co SA” and was one of the last watches under that name as the Heuer brand merged with Leonidas in 1964. From that moment on, watches were branded Heuer-Leonidas. During the 80s the name was changed to TAG-Heuer, as we still know it today.
