This 2893 features a custom engraved and rose gold plated rotor. A bidirectional 24 hour bezel and GMT hand allows for the tracking of 3 different timezones, mak

Welcome back to Wrist Game or Crying Shame, the weekly mask-free version of Choose Your Own Adventure! This week, we’ll have a look at a Panerai of nearly legal drinking age in the Submersible. But first…I’m on a roll. Perhaps my roll is down the hill of despair, but I’ve now featured two losers in a row. Last week’s Patek Philippe 5524G Calatrava suffered a tight but

Who doesn’t love spotting a Seiko on the big screen? As you may be able to tell from my recent articles, I am missing the open ocean right now. Weirdly, in the UK at least, all marinas are closed. You would have thought that sailing on the seas was the ideal way to observe social distancing rules.If you are a yacht owner, I can imagine the barnacles gathering on your hull may cause a few sle

It's really hard to believe that the extremely expressive Maruman Bike chain bracelet from Japan was designed more than 50 years ago. A couple of days ago, I walked into the kitchen, sat down, and put my hands on the table. I was wearing a T-shirt so that my wife would have a perfect view of my wrist. Yet she was busy doing her stuff, so my question about how I look like made her turn around for a

Once rejected by watch enthusiasts, now one of the most sought-after Patek Philippe's models, the Aquanaut is a major source of buzz for pretty much everyone. Therefore, it seemed inevitable that Patek would address the dearth of options for its female collectors sooner rather than later. Of course, Patek Philippe masterfully embraces not only the hottest color in the watch industry but also appea

I guess there are not that many people that has had to apologize to. I mean officially, in the press. John Harwood, the creator of the world's first automatic wristwatch, is one of them. ?You might be surprised to learn that the man behind one of today's leading Swiss industries is actually a Brit. In last year's landmark set of six stamps by the Isle of Man Post Office, the inventor John Harwood

The Aquanaut is making its way through the ranks. The Aquanaut's design is a derivative of the Nautilus, and it always stood in its shadow, but the times they are a-changing. There are no less than 17 models in Patek Philippe's sporty-chic Aquanaut collection nowadays. And if that doesn't count for something, there are complications like the Travel Time and Chronograph models to add gravitas to th

Despite having been founded in 1882, in many ways the Zodiac Watch company still feels like a young and vibrant new brand. Much of this phenomenon can be traced to the acquisition of the marque by Fossil, Inc. in 2001. This recent takeover seems to have breathed new life into the old manufacturer through the development of in-house calibers, and the reintroduction of decades-old models from the de

This model is a bit of a curveball because, as far as Tudor is concerned, you can no longer buy this watch. It is, however, still available from several dealers around the globe and should be snapped up as soon as possible. It is identified by its smiley face dial. The curved text between the center and 6 six o'clock indicates a non-in-house ETA movement resides behind the dial. So why do I think

The new Tudor Black Bay Pro is a good-looking watch. There, I said it. But as you would expect, my next sentence will bring up a but. So, here it is: the Black Bay Pro is a good-looking watch, but it also clearly shows its source of inspiration, the Explorer II 1655 Freccione. In this video, I will tell you why that's a good thing, but also why it's less of a good thing.This year, Tudor celebrate

On May 24th, Breitling held an event to release the 60th-anniversary edition of the Navitimer Cosmonaute. But the brand also succeeded in making attendees completely forget to check their watches at a watch event. How did Breitling do it? Read on to find out.The silver spacesuit was the coolest of all the suits, says Scott Kelly, a veteran of four space flights, while anchoring a panel discussion

You could be forgiven for not being familiar with the name Christian Etienne. I personally wasn’t, not until news of his latest endeavor, The Project, arrived in my inbox. After just a brief read of the profile available on his website, it was plain to see that Christian was quite an interesting character. Having grown up in the village of Porrentruy in the Jura region of Switzerland, he w

For me, the new Fears Brunswick exudes the archetypical Britishness that Fears has a historical claim to, and twice over. In a world of big, bold sports watches, its soft cushion shape warms my heart, especially as I’m part British by proxy. Look, I've already made it abundantly clear that while I live in Norway, I don't ski, and I'm not particularly fond of scrambling through the forests of

The Ocean Race, previously called the Volvo Ocean Race and originally called the Whitbread Round the World Race, is currently in its fifth leg. This leg takes the five competing teams across the Atlantic from Newport, Rhode Island in the United States to Aarhus in Denmark. And while the race moored in Newport last weekend, Ulysse Nardin took the opportunity to launch its new The Ocean Race Diver C

Can the Resurgence mark the beginnings of something bigger, even inspiring others through its name? The US is a vast country with a rich watchmaking history, ranging from Gruen to Hamilton and from Waltham to small New York factories producing Swiss-sounding watches in the ’60s. But despite American microbrands hitting all the right notes these days, the calibers in their watches remain Swis

I recently purchased the Oris Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400 for myself. It was a much-anticipated purchase as I’ve wanted an Oris with a Calibre 400 for some time now. After a month of wearing and getting to know the watch, I have to say I’m more pleased than ever with my choice. And that is a good thing, considering the 12H was not the original Calibre 400 that I was looking at.Th

Sometimes you run across very extreme watches that look almost menacing but intriguing simultaneously. The new Bohen StarDiver is one of those watches. My first reaction to getting it out of the packaging was an honest “What is this?!” The watch is the second model created by the French brand Bohen. The brand has wasted no time and energy on another run-of-the-mill dive watch. No, my f

Recently, Zodiac and RedBar released a special edition of the Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver. This 200-piece LE introduced a full-lume dial and harked back to Zodiac’s Point series from the 1990s. Those watches were instantly recognizable by the red dot on the dial between the 4 and 5 o’clock markers. As a follow-up to the RedBar version of the Super Sea Wolf Pro-Diver, Zodiac is now releasi

If you haven't heard that term before, that makes two of us, but trust me; I'll explain. The CHPTR_.5 (pronounced “Chapter Delta point five” in case you were stumbling) is the lovechild of BA111OD and Label Noir, designed by Thomas Baillod. It is a triangularly different, semi-open-worked creation with a dark vibe.This comes in a month when more modern pieces seem to emerge, even if r

One of the biggest recent watch surprises happened the day before Watches and Wonders 2024. Impressively, the watches even captivated all four of the Fratello team members who were there. Normally, a watch release provokes much debate among us. However, the enthusiasm for the four different HYT T1 watches presented on the banks of Lake Geneva was unanimous. We all agreed that the new concept of th
