TX Watches Of Interest For 2009 At JCK Las Vegas

This is the TX Pilot ref. T3C423 watch from TX's 600 Series watches. The watch has a quartz flyback chronograph as well as a second time zone. You also get the case and a rotating slide-rule bezel. The watch is probably about 45mm wide and is really cool looking. You can tell that the dial is deep and easy to read despite the black tones. People will want to know what that big black watch on your wrist is. All the detail on the dial make it quite intriguing. Still, the functionality is *** and you get used to the look of the dial with ease. It is matched with a black leather strap and retails for $575. For some people this is the best TX watch in their lineup.Remember the World Time watch I discussed above? This is one of the World Time Sport models in TX's 550 Series of watches. This watch is model number T3C414. The watch shares the same functions as the World Time watch, but also has a rotating diver style bezel - here in a rose gold tone. The case is steel and also 45mm wide. I like the texturing on the dial and the applied pieces that really give it a nice complex look. This is worlds above a *** "painted dial." I rarely like dials that have no depth to them. The watch is very sporty and fun to look at and wear. The major focus of the watch is the world time complication. You can see the red "T" hand around the dial where you can select a timezone via a reference city. This changes the time in the retrograde 24 hour dial located near 10 o'clock. The main time is show on the dial of the watch. Overall you have a really convenient world time watch that looks unique and is fun to use. The crystal of the watch is actually sapphire bonded over mineral crystal. A bit less expensive to make than all sapphire crystal but has most of the benefit of a sapphire crystal. The crystal is also retro inspired rising off the case with rounded edges. Best part of this new 500 Series World Time watch is the new bracelet. The outgoing metal bracelets where pretty ugly. This has an almost jubilee style bracelet that is handsome. I liked this watch a lot and think it will be a good seller - also a good gift watch. Price will likely be around $500 for this watch.Sorry about the slightly blurry image, this watch was a pain to get a pic of, and I couldn't tell I didn't get a good pic until it was too late. Still, you can tell that this is a really cool "phantom" style all black watch.
