Welcome back to SwissWatchExpo and today we are taking a look at some really really cool watches
today we're looking at my three top picks for black ceramic case watches and I stepped outside
of you know your typical Cartier, Patek, and Rolex with these options and looked at some brands that
really do a great job with projecting this style into the marketplace we're going to be taking a
look at the Panerai the Omega and the IWC so let's get right into it the first watch we'll take a
look at is this Panerai Luminor and they call it the Tuttonero so that means all black done in 47
millimeters I really love this piece there were only a thousand of these made and this is a five
the 596th version of this watch some of the biggest features about this that I love are
the simplistic design elements and then of course it is a GMT which is really cool it does it in a
great and minimalistic way great for someone who wants a clean dial but still needs to tell the
time in other places around the globe the first time of course will be around the actual dial
here and then you'll have a sub dial there that will give you the time indication for whatever
time zone you choose it's a beautiful watch I love the bracelet style it feels so nice on it has a
gorgeous exhibition caseback and then the double butterfly clas[ and then of course you'll have
the Panerai Insignia there on the clasp as well all of our timepieces here at SwissWatchExpo are
100 authenticity guaranteed so no aftermarket parts on it you will also have the date here
at the three which I love that Panerai does this way without a cyclops or a bubble over the date
it's just really clear and clean to read and then the sandwich dial is always a favorite of mine it
really gives a nice texture to the watch Panerai does a beautiful job with what they do and it's
just a signature look from them so very very nice option here for someone who wants a little unique
but still very classic in its styling next up we'll take a look at one of the watches I think
are very very unique it is of course a special edition from Omega we know that they have quite
a few of the special edition Speedmasters but the reason I chose this one other than the fact that
it's done in the black ceramic they have beautiful yellow accents around the dial and this is an 0
to the astronauts that were a part of the Apollo 8 mission and it's the Dark Side of the Moon so
they of course are the first to see and I think there were only maybe around 20 people who were
able to visit the Dark Side of the Moon the back side of the moon and actually see what that looks
like it's such an iconic moment in history and an iconic watch from an iconic brand and one of the
things that I love the most is and you can see this once you add it to your collection not only
are the indices illuminated the bezel tachymeter actually has lume as well and they look so good
together they add a really nice depth and texture to the watch this one is a 44.25 millimeter
Omega is famous for the 0.25 on their sizes which I think gives it a really customized and tailored
fit to most wrists of course the lugs come in beautifully tapered at the top here and one of
the key features of this watch is that it has been lasered to show that texture of the moon
so you can really see the depth in the dial there they've kept the sweep in yellow which
I think is gorgeous and then you'll also have a yellow sweep on one of your sub-dials here on the
dial and then of course very comfortable to wear and on the back you'll see it has that Insignia
where it says we'll see you on the other side referencing that trip to the Dark Side of the
Moon so gorgeous piece I think it's a great size for everyday wear as well and very fun very kind
of eye-catching in a way but without any diamonds or anything like that so a great option for black
ceramic case mixed with that titanium as well on the accents and also one other fact of course the
lume is here on the Omega symbol on the crown as well so really cool watch all together
then lastly but certainly not least this one is our okay get ready for this name IWC Top Gun
Pilots watch here with the Timezoner function so essentially you have the option of really doing a
nice quick set on the bezel here to take a look at another timezone so just to kind of give you
an example of what that means for instance if this were our actual time here and the showroom all you
would need to do is give this bezel a push down and you can see that it changes functions to show
the time in over 24 time zones around the globe then also if you take a look you'll see that some
of the uh indices here are the pips I should say around the bezel next to the country code they
have an S there so that means that that is an area that has a daylight savings acknowledgment and
their timezone so what you'll want to do is rather than stopping on the name you'll want to stop on
the S function there and that will accommodate the daylight savings function and I love the way
the hand just kind of jumps around the dial you'll also see that military time displayed in that top
window there done in the ceramic titanium and then you'll also have the strap here I love the way
that they've not only put a nice fabric strap but they've protected it with this rubber almost like
a channel setting around the outside of the strap one cool thing that I saw that I you know I'd
like to challenge IWC to make this watch would be gorgeous even inside out with that strap like that
and that exhibition dial so a gorgeous piece I love this one I love the size it feels really good
in your hands just a beautiful piece to have in a conversation starter so my top three picks for
black cases on watches let us know down in the comments your favorites of course as
