The Peninsula Professional Mannar

From Bangalore Watch Company -

Courtesy of Bangalore Watch Company

This is a limited edition (50 pieces) and part of a larger release that I'll be covering in more detail in the coming days.

Courtesy of Bangalore Watch Company

The case is of stainless steel with a matte black PVD coating. It measures 44mm in diameter and 31mm lug-to-lug. The height is 13.75mm.

Courtesy of Bangalore Watch Company

The movement is Sellita's SW200-1.
The strap is described as: Fluoroelastomer high-density Rubber, and is 20 mm wide.

The other members of the Peninsula Professional collection are priced at (I believe) $1,250. With that said, I have to assume that the limited edition Peninsula Mannar is priced higher, but I am only able to pull the (again, I believe) price in Rupees - Rs.186,000. Having checked two different currency exchanges it appears to be a bit over $2,100 USD. Obviously subject to the whims of the Tariff Happy current occupant of the White House ; )

The BR-03 Horizon

From Bell & Ross -

This is the latest member of the BR-03 stable, the BR-03 Horizon.

Courtesy of Bell & Ross

The dial is a scaled down, wrist-bound interpretation of the Altitude Indicator (or artificial horizon). A crucial gauge, per Wikipedia:

The attitude indicator (AI), formerly known as the gyro horizon or artificial horizon, is a flight instrument that informs the pilot of the aircraft orientation relative to Earth's horizon, and gives an immediate indication of the smallest orientation change. The miniature aircraft and horizon bar mimic the relationship of the aircraft relative to the actual horizon.^[1][2] It is a primary instrument for flight in instrument meteorological conditions.^[3][4]

The case is of microblasted black ceramic and measures 41 mm across.
