Modern technology has replaced many specialized pieces of equipment people once used individually. Flashlights, magnifying glasses, cameras, audio/video recorders, and many other items have been replaced by something that fits in a shirt pocket. The capabilities of even the most basic Smartphones are astonishing, but there are some things they have a hard time replacing. The luxury feel of a finely crafted watch is something the digital age hasn’t duplicated. When you add a specialized function like a mechanical alarm to a timepiece, watch-nerds like me get way more excited than any smartphone app could ever do. The Tudor Advisor is both a highly evolved automatic wristwatch with a calendar and an alarm clock all in one.
Like many Tudor/Rolex products, something new is often something old. The Tudor Advisor was originally introduced back in the late 1950s. The hand wind watch used a hammer to impact a pin with high frequency repetition that could be heard and felt. The alarm module’s independent mainspring meant after the alarm stopped ringing the watch would still run for well over a full day. In 2011 Tudor introduced the modern Advisor with a power reserve display for the alarm which still uses its own dedicated spring. This modern version also features a small window indicating whether the alarm is turned on or off.
A 31-day pointer calendar is another useful feature the original never had. The early Advisor alarm watches were never that popular and are seldom seen today. The modern Advisor also turned out to be a slow selling model too as it competed with the Black Bay and other more traditional models. This is the first Advisor we’ve ever had come through our estate department. These are very interesting watches, with lots to look at and make interesting conversation pieces.
42mm in diameter and more than 14mm thick are large but not overwhelming by modern standards. This watch was sold in 2021 and is one of the later models produced, the Advisor line is once again retired. This watch is in like new condition showing only the slightest evidence of wear on the case and black crocodile leather strap.
The watch is covered by the factory’s 5-year international warranty until the fall of 2026. After the factory warranty expires we will cover its trouble free operation for an additional year. It comes with its original packaging, documents, and endorsed warranty card, along with a nylon fabric NATO style strap with a signed Tudor buckle. For those looking for something unusual, the Tudor Advisor alarm watch is not a watch any of your watch friends will likely have. This watch is estate priced at $5,700.00 CAD. Stock #505-00375.

Religious jewellery is popular for its sentimentality, comfort, and the strength it brings to those who wear it. It comes to us often enough that we sometimes overlook how unique they can sometimes be. A Saint Christopher pendant is quite common among religious jewellery to pass through our estate department. This one however needed to be spotlighted for a couple of reasons. First of all the quality of this piece is evident from the second you seen it. Despite being worn for decades as a pendant on a chain, it still displays excellent detail. The front side depicts Saint Christopher who is universally recognized as the patron of all travelers.
According to legend, he safely carried a child (who was Christ) across a dangerous, raging river. Many people keep a St. Christopher medal in their vehicles, on a key chain, or on a necklace as a symbol of protection. The reverse side is equally interesting as is shows a mid 1950s automobile driving through mountainous terrain.
Making a traditional St. Christopher pendant so period specific is very unusual, and is something we’ve never seen before. Usually the back side is left blank so a personalized inscription can be engraved. For anyone who is into vintage cars and who loves to drive, this piece would make a very special gift.
It came to us from the son of the original owner who wore this pendant when they immigrated from Italy in the 50s. Aside from minor softening of the embossed details and some wear on the jump-ring from a necklace running through, the pendant remains in excellent condition. The other interesting detail about this pendant is the 1AR registered trademark stamp. The hallmark was issued by law to the Gori & Zucchi Company from the Italian province of Arezzo. The company has been around since 1926 and are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. The province and city of Arezzo are renowned as a hub of jewellery production in Italy. All manufactures in this region require a registered “AR” trademark number. In the 1950s Gori & Zucchi officially changed their name to UnoAerre a literal translation of the 1AR trademark.
Today UnoAerre jewellery is universally respected for its high quality and beautiful designs. This pendant measures 20.3mm diameter, weighs just under 4.5 grams and was crafted in Italy using premium 18 karat yellow gold. This early UnoAerre vintage St. Christopher pendant/charm is estate priced at $1,120.00 CAD. Stock #436-00396.

It can take decades of marketing for a brand to become synonymous with a look. In the automotive world the Porsche 911 comes to mind. Whether a 1966 or 2026 model year the stylists are careful to retain certain elements of design that define the look. In the watch world the Rolex Oyster is one such watch, for Omega it’s the Constellation.
For 44 years the flagship Constellation has had a look with design components consistent with the original 1982 Manhattan model. The 4 bezel claws, Roman numeral bezel and tapered integrated bracelet have always been used in one form or another. This 38mm automatic chronometer example 123.10.38.21.01.001 is our latest Constellation featuring those iconic design details.
It’s been lightly worn and has never been touched up or refinished. There are scuffs and scratches on the case and bracelet consistent with the 2008 vintage.
Omega no longer offers this exact model but they do show a silver dial 39mm version that otherwise looks the same at $9,700.00. For close to 60% less Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is offering the watch at just $4,000.00 CAD.
We are providing a complimentary one year warranty. Included with purchase is the perfect condition inner/outer boxes, instructions, wallet, open warranty card, and even the tissue box liner. Stock #510-00250.

In the 1960s the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was charged with the task to land a man on the surface of the moon before the end of the decade by John F. Kennedy. While many of the systems on the heavy lift Saturn rockets were electronic, NASA also required analogue and mechanical devices in case the electronic systems failed. For many timing procedures an old fashion hand wind wristwatch made the most sense.
A NASA employee purchased a variety of high end chronograph equipped watches from Dallas jewellers to test and determine if they were appropriate for NASA’s requirements. The watches were subjected to rigorous testing to their failure points under extreme conditions to determine suitability for “manned space fight”. Even the Rolex Cosmograph eventually succumbed to the testing leaving only the Omega Speedmaster that would go on the be “Officially Certified for all Manned Space Flight Missions” by NASA.
Our latest watch is an early example with the word PROFESSIONAL proudly printed on the dial and dates from 1967.
Beating away inside the 42mm stainless case is the famous Omega 17 jewel calibre 321. This slow beat (18,000 cycles per hour) movement is what every Moonwatch collector is looking for.
The 321 is the movement that was used by the moon landing astronauts. By 1969 the 321 had been retired and replaced by the 861 that was used up until only a few years ago. This example displays a beautiful stepped dial that has colour shifted to an ever so slight tropical black. We feel the dial and tritium hour plots are original. The hands have been repainted white and the original luminous material has likely been replaced, but they match the hour markers quite well.
The bezel is in great shape for an older replacement showing just a touch of fade and maintaining a mostly ding free thick edge. The 15 link stainless steel bracelet is a genuine Omega Seamaster replacement.
The bracelet is likely from an Omega Planet Ocean it fits the 42mm Moonwatch case very well and offers a secure locking buckle with extension. It remains in very good condition showing little sag and no stretch.
The watch is in very good overall condition given the age of close to 60 years. The curved lugs are a beautiful as ever and still nice and thick.
Our watchmaker has just performed a full service the the vintage 321 movement and it is running great with all features operating as designed. The October 2024 Vibrograph shows a accuracy rate well within Omega’s tolerances.
We are confident and pleased to provide the next owned with a 1-year warranty. This is quite an uncommon watch and one of only two references to have officially landing on the moon’s surface.
We see Omega Speedmaster moonwatches pass through our estate department several times a year, but this is only the third calibre 321 equipped example I can ever remember. Estate priced at $8,500.00 CAD. Stock #510-00240.
