Fratello On Air returns with an episode in which both hosts are finally in the same room. It took two years, but the dynamic duo is together again. Face to face - “reunited and it feels so good!”

In the 1970s, Hamilton supplied British Royal Air Force pilots with hand-wound chronographs. The new Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical Chronograph is a tribute to the watches used by Lightning, Harrier Jump Jet, and Vulcan pilots. Inside the 40mm steel case beats the hand-wound H-51-Si movement, and looking at the dial, it seems little has changed. But let's find out how the new version hold

A German watchmaker building its name around a concept of imprecise time telling seems like a rather interesting paradox. The company espouses a watch to keep time in a highly intuitive manner, a concept so successful that the brand’s tagline reads The Single-hand Watch. And who is famous for one-handed watches? MeisterSinger is. Today, we take look at the latest from this German brand - the

The Delma Shell Star lineup is made up of 27 references. These include quartz models with steel cases, automatic models (also in steel), and a trio of automatic divers in titanium. Of the first two denominations, many variations exist. Some models come on a bracelet, others on rubber or leather straps. Some have a bare-metal steel case, while others have a black DLC finish. There are also three pr

If seeing is believing, then chalk one up for the Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman Auto. This is a watch that, based on pictures alone, wouldn’t normally speak to me. In person, though, this just might be one of my favorite sneaky releases of the year.It was way back in 2020 that I wrote a guide to the affordable Swatch Group divers. Watches from the massive company are obviously popular with eve

I get to kick off this new series of challenges set by our managing editor Nacho. The premise is quite simple. We get a $1,000 budget per watch and one condition: all of our picks must be available to purchase new on the market today. Other than that, all that matters is that each writer likes the watches and would recommend them.I have added one little challenge for myself: I cannot already own t

Military pieces are a special category in the world of watches. Always driven by functionality in the field of operations, they represent the opposite of the usual luxury ambitions. As a result, the modern reiterations of these classics are often a breath of fresh air in an industry full of luxury overload. A good example of honoring those great designs of the past is the American brand Praesidus.

The ’70s were an extraordinary era in the watch industry. That decade gave us some of the most fantastic designs and timepieces that are still sought after among vintage collectors. Just think of watches like the Omega Flightmaster, the Zenith El Primero TV (ref. 01-200-415), or the topic of this article, the Amida Digitrend. While the Flightmaster or the El Primero played in a different lea

It is not often that I get to review a watch I’ve owned in the past. When Nacho put the Seiko SRPE05″King Turtle” on my desk, it was like unexpectedly running into an ex-girlfriend. So this review is a bit different for me. I am basically taking an ex out for coffee to compare how we both fared since the breakup. This can only end wellright?Luckily, we split up on speaking terms!

I still can’t usually remember how to use a compass bezel, but the prospect of a tougher, even more versatile Hamilton Khaki is tempting. By offering two of the subjectively best-sized case designs, the Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition covers most bases.We covered this release late last year, but it slipped under my radar, and I have recently rediscovered these rugged Khaki sports watches. By

Probably one of the most sought-after Breitling models is the Navitimer ref.806. However, not everyone (or every owner) knows how to use all the information on the dial in combination with the slide rule. Bill Sohne, a well known collector who’s active on the internet for years now, and Chuck Maddox (the ?e?ober Chronograph-meister) put the original manual online of the vintage Breitling 806

If you know thing or two about watches you’ve probably heard about Tudor by now. You might also be aware of the fact that Tudor and have to do something with each other. founder Hans Wilsdorf founded Tudor as daughter company of the big crown. One of the daughter companies I should say, there were more brands in the stable.Tudor was meant to be able to offer a cheaper watch, but with the

What we're having today at the Fratello Head Quarters, is a real mens dress watch. A type of watch that is not often discussed here, but since this watch ?is such a prime example of what a dress watch should be, an exception has been made.Nowadays any watch, that's not a 47mm diver, is often called a dress watch. Even well known watch blogs, dare to?call a Datejust or Panerai Radiomir a dress wat

Today, we'll take a look at another vintage inspired piece from Baselworld 2017, the Hamilton Intra-Matic 68. I know that it's #TBT day today, but I figured I'd continue to sprinkle in these new retro-styled pieces over the next month or so in case you're tired of fruitlessly searching eBay for the originals. We enjoyed this Hammy a bit more than most, so we thought it was worth a look.The Hamilto

For those who travel often, a watch with a second timezone indication is a useful tool. Especially when you travel through (and to) different timezones, a watch with a GMT function or (better yet) a world timer complication like this Glashutte Original Senator Cosmopolite can become a pleasant companion. I’ve been an avid traveller myself for a while when I was working for one of the Big Fou

Hola, watch fans!? It's time for This Week in Watches for May 4, 2019!This week was fairly eventful, but we've already covered some new releases in normal articles (such as the Rado Golden Horse and the Mido Multifort Patrimony) as we felt they were significant enough to give you more detail. ?But, this episode of This Week in Watches packs some really good stuff.? Granted, some might require raid

When you’ve been in and around the watch industry for a while, new releases can sometimes seem a little stale. It isn’t that new watches are worse than they used to be. Far from it. In fact, they are technically “better” than ever. But with so much having been done to death, true novelty is hard to come by. Thank goodness, then, for brands like Tockr.When I first saw the To

When it comes to press release justifications for celebrating a non-centennial anniversary, few have left me with as warm a feeling in my chest as Grand Seiko's recent explanation of the logic behind its 60th birthday extravaganza. A person's 60th birthday is significant in Japan's culture. At that age, a human has lived through all phases of the Zodiac. As such, it is time to begin again. And, to

Last week we covered Sinn’s latest releases. While we’re overjoyed to see some new variations coming out of Frankfurt am Main, we certainly cannot wait to get them in our hands, on our wrists, and out in the wild. In the meantime, let’s take a closer look at the technologies that make these new releases so special.Perhaps the most exciting news last week was not the news of a new

Minase's Masterpiece collection displays some of the most beautiful crafts of Japan. Gold-engraved cases, needle-art decorated dials, or silver filigree decorations, Minase has shown it is the master of many different traditional techniques. Now the Japanese brand expands on its artistry showcase with the new Urushi Makie Hakose watches. Until now, the Japanese brand used its popular 5 Windows wat
