Linde Werdelin is a brand that we’ve been covering from their (and our) early days on. Not only because Jorn Werdelin, Morten Linde and their entire team are great people, but also – of course – because they truly have something to show with their modern sports Breitling replica watches.
This time – and we already had a little sneak preview – Linde Werdelin presents the SpidoSpeed Titanium. A watch that was made based on the original Linde Werdelin design code: a sturdy sports watch that has a clear focus on construction and functionality. Everything unnecessary has been cut away from the Grade 5 titanium. To what’s left, Linde Werdelin makes sure to finish it in the best way possible. Using industrial-style satin, polishing and microbillé finish techniques for the case. These different type of finish methods result in a IWC replica watches for sale that gets the best contrasts from light reflection.
Linde Werdelin’s hunger for weight reduction is clearly inspired by the racing industry, without compromising on function. We also can see this in the dial of the SpidoSpeed Titanium. The fully skeletonized dial unveils the caliber LW06 movement. A chronograph movement from the Jaquet Family that consists of 273 parts. Some of these parts are individually skeletonized as well. The monochrome appearance of the SpidoSpeed Titanium received some blue detailing by screws that underwent heat treatment and of course the skeletonized hands. Linde Werdelin let us know that their Rock and Reef instruments (in-house developed add-on digital modules for rock climbers and divers) are now also available in matching colors for the Spidospeed Titanium: both are available in blue and natural anodised aluminium.
The “R” on the 6 o’clock sub-dial may be understated, but it holds a significant function for the adventure-seeking owner. After a full day’s skiing with The Rock, place the instrument on charge and start the SpidoSpeed’s chronograph. When the sub-dial meets the “R”, The Rock is fully charged and ready to go again.
The SpidoSpeed Titanium will be exclusively available at Martin Pulli from 1st June 2015, and will go on general release at a number of select retailers as of 8th June 2015. The SpidoSpeed Titanium comes in a latest Breitling replica watches limited and numbered series of 99 pieces worldwide
