here's one I missed during Baselworld...it's nice to see Hamilton getting back to their roots with the PanEurop,and this one below! Baselworld 2012: Following 2011′s attractively styled Hamilton Pan Europ watch, Hamilton has released another exciting vintage inspired watch at Baselworld 2012. The Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer is a homage to the marine chronometers that Hamilton made for the US Navy in the 1940s (see picture below), and can be worn on a strap or displayed in a marine chronometer-style box and used as a table clock (and conversation piece!). Be sure to watch the video below for a walk through of the watch. The retail price will be approximately $3,000, certainly an attractive option to other higher end marine chronometer-inspired pieces out there (e.g. Glashütte Original’s Senator Chronometer Marine Chronometer set or Montblanc’s 1858 Régulateur Nautique set). Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer Watch limited edition 1892 pieces 46.5mm steel case, manual wind Unitas 6498 movement   an Original Hamilton Marine Chronometer:

Looking great! But from what I know, those deck watches or Marine chronometers was built to calculate the longitude and exact position of the ship. So they had to be very precise: As COSC chronometers or better. Or the position calculated was wrong. That's why those mechanical modern deck chronometers are expensive. I don't think that a usual 6498 movement would be up to this challenge. I saw flair spokes on the balance but nothing else fancy
