The Rolex Explorer II

History of the Explorer II
The Rolex Explorer II, first released in 1971, is the natural heir to the original Rolex Explorer – yet with a character all of its own. A robust, highly refined tool, the Explorer II swiftly became the watch of choice of speleologists, volcanologists and polar and jungle explorers, thanks to its specially designed features.

The new Explorer II
For its 40th anniversary in 2011, the Explorer II received an extensive technical and aesthetic makeover. The most obvious innovation is the size of the case, increased from 40 mm to 42 mm in diameter, opening up the dial for better legibility. The hands have also been enlarged, enhancing their visibility. But the signature feature of this new version is its larger, orange 24-hour hand ending in an arrow, mirroring the original Explorer II of 1971.

Spirit of the Explorer II
An independent 12-hour hand, which provides a second time zone function in conjunction with the fixed or “home” 24-hour display, and an integrated Cyclops lens that magnifies the date display, are other functions that make the Explorer II highly appreciated by global adventurers.

Zayn Malik wearing Bulgari Octo Finissimo Sandblasted Automatic

Zain Javadd "Zayn" Malik is an English singer and songwriter. In 2010, 17-year-old Malik auditioned in Manchester for the seventh series of reality-television competition The X Factor, but He was eliminated before the final round of the competition, but judges Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell grouped him with fellow competitors Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson to form a new act for the remainder of the show, the boy band that would become known as One Direction. One of the Popular group singer ever existed since The Beatles.

Zayn Malik is known for a lot of things. Tattoos. High-profile relationships (and breakups). Oh, and there's that whole music thing, too. But while we've paid attention to his personal style, one thing that the singer and songwriter wasn't necessarily on our radar for was his love of watches. In his new video for, which he teased on Instagram today, he's wearing a pretty serious timepiece: the Octo Finissimo Sandblasted Automatic by Bulgari, which debuted at Baselworld this year. Here’s a closer look at it on his wrist:

Zayn Malik's Bulgari Octo Finissimo Sandblasted Automatic

The Octo Finissimo Sandblasted Automatic by Bulgari

Launched by Bulgari in 2017 and received by the market with great enthusiasm, the Octo Finissimo Automatic is one of the most interesting watches that we have seen in the last few years. Technically and aesthetically innovative, this model was first presented in a fascinating sand-blasted titanium version. This year, on occasion of Baselworld 2018, the luxury brand added three new references to the family: ref. 103035 in stainless steel with strap, ref. 103011 in stainless steel with steel bracelet and ref. 102912 in rose gold with matching bracelet.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Sandblasted Automatic

As the Finissimo name suggests (the Italian word for “very thin”), these models have a total thickness of just 5.15 mm thanks to the extreme slimness of the self-winding movement (2.23 mm). These two new interpretations maintain the key features of the titanium version including the 40 mm diameter of the case (water-resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet), the typical crown with ceramic insert and the original sandblasted treatment of the surfaces which makes them so elegant and homogeneous.

The Thin Bulgari Octo Finissimo Sandblasted Automatic

The dials are completed by PVD-treated black hands and an offset small seconds sundial positioned between 6 and 9 o’clock. The in-house developed and manufacture self-winding Calibre BVL 138 beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a 60-hour power reserve. it is hand-decorated with Côtes de Genève and circular-grained finishing. Both models are matched to bracelets composed of supple and articulated links for absolute comfort on the wrist. The steel version is also available with an alligator leather strap.

He was spotted several times during live shows with an Orange Royal Oak Offshores. The large and sporty edition of the classical Royal Oak, in a special black DLC and Orange version. The brand is a trend-setter, as it created the interest for luxury sports watch. A move that Audemars-Piguet should be proud off more than 20 years after its introduction. That one seems to be an absolute must-have for celebrities. And considering the brand manufacturing it and its overall quality, we won’t blame them for such a choice

Christiano Ronaldo's Tag Heuer Carrera MikrotourbillonS

Christiano Ronaldo wearing Tag Heuer Carrera MikrotourbillonS

Christiano Ronaldo's Tag Heuer Carrera MikrotourbillonS

During the last 2016 European Championships, Real Madrid and Portugal Mega star, Cristiano Ronaldo posted a photo of himself relaxing in between matches with his TAG Heuer. He posted on his instagram account @cristiano. We all know that he is sponsored by TAG Heuer, but the controversy is, Does he really wearing a £4,000 TAG Heuer Carrera as written in several newspapers like Mirrors? There was a big mistakes. The watch on Ronaldo’s wrist wasn’t a Carrera Chronograph. Actually he is wearing a Tag Heuer Carrera MikrotourbillonS! And now the instagram had been corrected by the real description.

Tag Heuer Carrera MikrotourbillonS

Did you know that this watch is not the standard TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph? That is a masterpiece watch. Let me tell you, The MikrotourbillonS features two tourbillons, one for the conventional regulation of the time and the other tourbillon regulates the chronograph escapement. The escapement of the chronograph vibrates at 360,000 vibrations per hour (50hz) and the tourbillon rotates once every 5 seconds! One of the questions that will be asked about the Mikrotourbillon is this: What’s the point? Why go to the trouble of designing a tourbillon, which has huge complexity and cost, for little real-world benefit in terms of regulating a movement? Why offer a Chronograph with 1/ 100th second precsion? Who will use that? Think of the MikrotourbillonS as the Bugatti Veyron for your wrist- a “glorious irrelevance” (as the Veyron was called) if you like. And just like a Veyron, a small number of well-heeled buyers will be able to own one. Thats the true.
