The Passage
[In our life’s journey, we are always in transition.]
In the mid-’50s, there might have been two or, maybe, three automobiles moving around my village at the foot of the hills of the Peloritani in Sicily. One day, my mom had no scruples. She wanted to get to a few villages away to visit my grandfather and she asked for a ride. She got it! There we went. We rode downhill and along the seashore. After a while, the car stopped. We had to walk the rest of the way (and it was humid hot and up the hill). My brother and I struggled, complained, pushed on and made it.
Moral of the story: Journeys are never easy. Transitions? Be ready to sweat!
However, it’s not just the American tie but it’s also the fact that the brand made some really nice watches that exercised a link high link level of constraint in their execution as link well as what I’d call quiet confidence.
The new Carrera Chronograph measures 42mm across the link dial (or 41.7mm, if you want to link see the micrometers). While the across-the-dial measurement is the standard metric for describing the size of a watch, the new Carrera proves that other dimensions may be more important in dictating the fit and feel of a watch. The case is thinner than recent Carrera chronographs, and the shorter, lower lugs make it "wear" link much smaller.

The movement in question is the MT5400, which link can also link be found in the Pelagos 39 and link other Black Bays like the 925 and the 18K. It offers 70 hours of power reserve, a non-magnetic silicon hairspring, and COSC chronometer timekeeping of -2 to +4 seconds a day.
