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!chickendance.gif
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).

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
