According to the report that Japan’s Citizen commemorates its 100th anniversary in 2021 with the launch of a vintage-appearance “bullhead” chronograph, the Tsuno Chronograph Racer, which takes its design cues from models the brand manufactured in the early 1970s. The fake watch has a round, 45-mm case in a typical bullhead construction, with a crown and two Rolex chronograph pushers at its top; lugs integrating seamlessly into its bracelet, and a second crown at the 5 o’clock position to adjust the watch’s alarm function. The dial has a sloped speed dial and four black subdials for the 1/5 second counter, 12 hour counter, power reserve indicator, and running second indicator, as well as a small date window and a switch indicator for the alarm function. These complex situations are all driven by citizen ecology, using natural or artificial light to drive the watch.
Girard-Perregaux’s new Laureato Chronograph comes in various materials and sizes, including the panda-dial model pictured here. All the new models are distinctly recognizable as from the Laureato family, with a polished octagonal bezel, Clou de Paris hobnail motif on the dial, and integrated bracelets and straps. They also feature some details like octagonal-shaped chronograph pushers shaped like the bezel and snailed finishes on the three subdials, two for the chronograph minutes and hours counters, the third for the small second’s display. 
The bigger model, in the 42-mm case, has its hour markers secured to the minute’s circle and a clear sapphire caseback; the smaller, 38-mm version has separate hour markers and a solid caseback. The movement is the self-winding GP03300-01 caliber, with 63 jewels, a 28,800-vph frequency, and a 46-hour power reserve.

At the 76th Goodwood Members’ Meeting in March 2018, IWC debuted its IWC Racing Team, becoming the very first watch brand to race in classic car events with its own car. Commemorating this milestone achievement is the new replica Rolex Chronograph Sport Edition “76th Members’ Meeting at Goodwood.” The silver-plated dial features black subdials at 12, 9, and 6 o’clock, an outer tachymeter scale, and contrasting blue chronograph hands. Beneath this panda-style tricompax dial beats the in-house Caliber 69380, with a 46-hour power reserve. Limited to 176 numbered pieces, it has a 44-mm titanium case that offers exceptional protection against magnetic fields thanks to its soft-iron inner cage. The lower part of this cage is visible through the caseback and designed to resemble a brake disk; a “76” in honor of this year’s 76th Goodwood Members’ meeting, is inscribed in its middle.
