When I feel my appetite for retro filling up, something catches my eye in a typical fashion. A good degrade dial does that to me, and green is supposedly the color of 2024, right? Combining this with a busier-than-usual Super Compressor-style dial sounds like too much, but the Beaufort Seatrekker might prove me wrong.I'll also be honest about the concept of two crowns. I haven't been the strongest

Glycine introduces a re-edition of the Airman SST 06 wrist watch. The original version of the SST 06 was released in the 1960s. The first Glycine Airman ever was released in 1953.This watch features this orange??24-hour??bezel. Also available in black or blue.

Pogue ChronographIf asked by a vintage watch collector who mainly focuses on Swiss watches for a recommendation on one Japanese chronograph to add, my answer is always the same and without hesitation: a Seiko 6139 Pogue. Astute collectors of the brand might find that a little surprising amongst so many well known and, in certain cases, more traditionally styled watches that I opt for a very 70's l

It is no secret we love affordable watches. Some times we look for them in the vintage market, like we showed you in this article, but we also keep an eye on new interesting propositions. Like these two limited editions from Christopher Ward for example: The?C60 Trident Pro COSC Limited Edition and the C60 Trident Day Date COSC Limited Edition. Trident Day Date Trident Pro (Da

Here it is (finally), the hands-on Omega Speedmaster Caliber 321 review. Exactly six months after its release date (January 7th), I picked mine up at the new Omega Boutique in Biel.We recently touched upon this watch in our Sunday Morning Showdown section, where Jorg and Ben sent this Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 in steel and the Daytona 116500LN into battle. If you haven’t read it yet, pl

It looks like a sapphire crystal is not enough today. Christopher Ward is moving the bar a bit higher and introduced another innovation for its C60. A mysteriously blue-tinted translucent dial made of sapphire. I was not in particular excited when I saw the press release. But true to the profession, when there is anything slightly innovative jumping from the crowd, I never hesitate to see it in fl

We head to the local Seiko boutique and find undiscovered gems in the Presage automatic enamel dial models.I can’t help but mention again that your - hopefully - local Seiko boutique always has some fantastic models that often escape our attention. We spend most of our time on the divers, Grand Seiko, and limited edition offerings. But what of the rest of the collection? Seiko produces a jaw

Wrist Game or Crying Shame is here with a look at the TAG Heuer Carrera Telemeter. It’s a watch that gave us a window into at least part of the brand’s future. Will you fall for its trailblazing ways? Before we get to that…Last week, I shared the IWC Fliegerchronograph IW3706 with you and all I can say is, “WOW!” You fine folks brought this one onto the runway with an

Gorilla Watches does not release new watches too often. But whenever the brand announces a new model, I’m always keen to find out what’s next. Gorilla’s newest release is the surprising Fastback Thunderbolt Chronograph. The brand takes inspiration from vintage muscle cars and race cars, so a chronograph makes sense in that daylight. But the Fastback Thunderbolt Chronograph is a v

It’s a well-known fact among the watchmaking community that I’m a Schofield fan-boy. Despite this consistent fandom, I always do my best to take a step back from the novelty in question and ask myself how I would feel if I were coming to this brand cold? My relationship with Schofield started when I was at the British School of Watchmaking. Giles Ellis, the brand’s founder, had b

From G-Shock to High Accuracy Quartz, the Big Three of Japan - Casio, Citizen, and Seiko - are constantly disrupting and contributing to the watch industry. But though their watches may be unique, they make sure to reserve some of the best exclusively for home, the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). These pieces, like “Oceanus” and “The Citizen”, are unknown to most non-Japane

Seaboard Marine Supply Co. was a manufacturer and distributor of fine sailboat gear. That included a yachting chronograph with three beautiful executions over the years. Today we will look at the last one, the Seaboard-Yacht.This watch combines all the best of what vintage-watch collecting is about. It’s not a typical Instagram attention grabber, but it has its audience. The strong visuals s

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of wearing the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold Homage to F. A. Lange. That magical timepiece is my grail watch. It is my unmatched Mt. Everest of watchmaking and an incredibly special version of the 1815 Rattrapante. The only thing is, there was no regular version of the 1815 Rattrapante. That is, until now. Today sees A. Lange & Sohne rele

Most brands tend to stick to the usual black, white and occasional blue for their dials. Well, not Amsterdam-based Batavi! The brand’s previous Architect and Kosmopoliet GMT were known for the colorful dial options. And now, Batavi is taking to Kickstarter once again, launching the Geograaf in both a GMT and Wereldtimer (“worldtimer” in Dutch) version. And as we’d expect, a

Another Friday, another Top 5! This week, we’ll dive into the world of tennis. With Wimbledon nearing its climax after almost two weeks, we have seen quite a few remarkable watches on the All England Lawn Tennis Club grounds. Many of the world’s top players have sponsor deals with watch brands. Some of them are unsurprising, while others are anything but. The -sponsored tournament alwa

You don't need pointing hands or hundreds of tiny gears to show off your horological street cred. This summer, your wristwear flex can play it by numbers and still lap up the compliments. If your impression of digital wristwear is based on Casio and Timex, prepare to have your mind boggled by these digital grails. From slender, weird-angled LED displays to mechanical satellites, the future is your

I am not usually one to veer towards sterling silver watches nor the more angular cases of 1960s and ’70s dress pieces. So this article will feature not one but two new elements in a watch for me to explore. This vintage Longines has a charm that has gradually won me over.While I don’t generally gravitate towards dressier designs, when it comes to watches, vintage Longines is something

Thomas fights for the Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400, while Daan defends the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Date.
