Michael Schumacher, a 7-time Formula One champion, has been OMEGA’s brand ambassador for a long time. And it’s no wonder that they decided to devote their new Co-Axial Chronograph to this famous driver of the racing sport.
‘The Legend’ is a great-looking wristwatch with its 44.25 stainless steel case which has anti-reflective sapphire crystals on both sides.
On its black aluminium bezel you can see a list of Schumacher’s greatest racing achievements, as well as his 91 victories.Maybe they will have to find some place for listing a Moto GP win of the best driver of the world, who is going to take part in the next motorcycle race, in spite of both the fail and his age. Schumacher’s participating in making high performance helmets also gives certain evidence of his determination to take part in the race.

New watch model: Sinn 6030 - German chronograph
The German watchmaking company, Sinn, with headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, has developed a chronograph that is mechanically wound. The case of the watch is quite small, having 34.5mm size. It is made by the same standards as the famous series entitled 6000 Frankfurt Finance.The watch, dubbed Sinn 6030, includes an internationally rotating bezel, which can be used to set the indication of a second time zone. This is available through a crown found at 10.
The heart of the timepiece is the ETA 2094 movement, which is the smallest chronograph movement, currently in the process of production, that is wound automatically. The Sinn 6030 modular chronograph movement is accurately refined with Côtes de Genève, perlage, as well as blued screws.
The timepiece includes a case made of polished stainless steel, a deep matte black dial featuring silver markers that are plated in rhodium, as well as white luminous hands and both sides of the watch are covered with antireflective sapphire crystal. The watch is available in two types, one having a bracelet made of polished stainless steel and the other one having a black leather strap.
The timepiece is water resistant of up to 100 meters.

Carl F.Bucherer - chronograph
After over 2 years of development, the Patravi Chronograde by Carl F.Bucherer is a world first with 6 useful functions and a retrograde hour display for the chronograph. Functions include a chronograph, flyback function, large date, annual calendar, power reserve indication and retrograde hours totalizator.The most important function of this wristwatch is the chronograph with its retrograde hours indicator. After each rotation of the central chronograph hand, the minute totalizator at 9 o'clock moves along one more graduation mark. This is in turn connected via an imposing gearing mechansim to the hours counter between 7 and 8 o'clock, completing its own rotations. The corresponding hand moves downwards through a semi-circular scale. When the hours counter reaches the end of its scale, it shoots instantly back to its starting position, in order to start its journey again from this position.
This is a function which should appeal to people in highly demanding positions with little time at their disposal. Pilots in the cockpit, for example, when they are in the landing queue and have to fly round in standard loops. Its takes them too long to stop the chrono each time and, before each new circuit, re-zero and start the chronograph again from scratch. One press on the push-piece is enough to restart the chronograph directly, without an intermediate stopping operation.
Additional features are: a large date display and a highly complex calendar which takes into account the variable months with 30 or 31 days. Only at the end of February will an adjustment by the owner be required with the crown, which resets it completely for the next year.
The overall appearance of the watch is decidedly masculine. The high-grade steel case is 44mm in diameter, water resistant to 50 metres and the bracelet is available in leather or robust high-grade steel.
