Time+Tide and Zenith introduced the Defy Classic Skeleton Night Surfer a little over two years ago. The standout piece was inspired by the starry night sky that greets surfers who stay out after sunset. Following that 2021 release, the collaborators have joined forces again. The Time+Tide Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton Night Surfer El Primero presents the same attractive aesthetic, only applied to Z

We’re now in the third match of this year's Seiko World Cup! The second round pitted two highly favored entry-level rivals against each other. Today, we see two watches of the same kind fighting each other, but they differ in age and power. It’s the 6159-7010 versus the SBBN011, two professional saturation divers with devoted followers within the Seiko community. Can the aged automatic

Back in April 2024, I had a chance to check out the olive-green version of the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton. While that earlier release walked a fine line between a saturated green and warm gray, today’s new watch takes a stealthier black approach. But don’t let that fool you because the rose gold PVD details on the crown and bezel liven up the design nicely. As a resul

Our Aussie friends at Time+Tide collaborated with TAG Heuer, resulting in a new version of the Aquaracer Solargraph. Style-wise, this is Time+Tide through and through. The Sundowner takes inspiration from the watch that has almost become synonymous with Time+Tide founder Andrew McUtchen, the Aquaracer Solargraph, and it pours on some Australian Outback sauce. Let's have a closer look!If you dig it

Over the past year, we’ve reviewed several watches from Brellum. The team has always been impressed with the pieces’ build quality and relative affordability. However, we and our readers have been hoping for smaller-diameter watches. That day is here with the new Brellum Duobox 39 Chronometer.Previously reviewed Brellum watches have measured in the 42C43mm range. They’ve received

I got this in my mailbox last evening:“I was looking for a nice and inexpensive watch and I come upon a watch companycalled Louis Bolle. I look at their web site https://www.louisbolle.com and theyhave many nice watches. I looked for more infomation but I couldn’t find any. Isearch on Ebay and “My God they were every where. The watch was being auction offor as low as $175. T

You either like them or you don't, Gerald Genta's master pieces from the 1970s. Genta designed Omega watches for years (i.e. Constellation and Seamaster models) before he started his own company in 1969. Although designing watches was mostly a job that people did who were on the payroll of a watch manufacturer, it was an immediate success.As we all know, Gerald Genta is the genius behind the Royal

Officine Panerai Radiomir PAM00627I recently visited the Panerai manufacture in Neuchatel. You can read about my Panerai manufacture visit in this article.?It changed my view on Officine Panerai quite drastically. No longer I see them as manufacturer of large watches that happen to look good (slightly?exaggerated statement), as I’ve witnessed how much effort they actually put in R&D and

Trust me, I tried and tested the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso more than once, but it is not for me. And I feel bad, because I love the looks and want to like it, but I just can’t. Rectangular watches are not for me, there, I’ve said it. But if there is one rectangular watch to buy, it is the Reverso in my opinion (no offence to all the Cartier fans). I’ve tried many different version

It’s This Week in Watches for November 16, 2019 – let’s do this!Before we get into the new watch news of This Week in Watches, I’ll spend a few minutes talking about some observations over the last week.? Last weekend was auction weekend in Geneva with the Only Watch charity event occurring.? If my math is right, the Patek Grandmaster Flash Chime helped raise roughly 82% of

We take a look at all the Seiko divers between $800 and $1,550 in order to help provide some direction. Trust us, there are a lot of choices now!It used to be fairly easy to sort through the Seiko lineup. For sure, there were loads of options no matter the watch genre. When it came to Seiko divers, though, I always felt that there was a clear hierarchy. One began with the lowly SKX007 and worked u

The nights are drawing in. The festive season is soon to be upon us. As logs are lugged from the wood store and stacked aside the fireplace and thick, woolen sweatshirts are dragged down from the attic in anticipation of the frosty times ahead, NOMOS Glashutte has kindly decided to treat us to a little bit of class to cheer our chilly hearts. The NOMOS Glashutte Ludwig has always been the brand

The TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver Limited Edition watch launched back in January. As one of the brand’s most handsome releases this year, we’re happy to bring it back to your attention. Harnessing the old-school vibes of Heuer’s golden age, this Carrera adds a touch of after-dinner class to a collection that is, in its modern guise, far more sporty in style.When you’ve

In 2017, during a visit to the Nomad Barbershop, in London, I got roped into an Oris-endorsed shave off for Movember. The prize for the Mo Bro who raised the most cash? A freshly launched Oris Diver 65 Movember edition of their very own…Thanks to the attendees of Time 4A Pint and the listeners of the Time 4A Pint podcast my ridiculous mustache drew in more than 2,200 of donations, putting m

The story of Circula began in Pforzheim, the watchmaking heart of the Black Forest, back in 1955. Here, Heinz Huber started his main business, a watch wholesaler, and a watch brand on the side named Circula. The name Circula takes inspiration from the circulation of the balance wheel in mechanical movements. I'm not going to nitpick that a balance wheel swings instead of circulates because I'm 66

“Which vintage Omega Speedmaster should I buy today?” We get this question a lot. And a lot doesn't mean once per week, but at least a dozen times per week. It is also a very valid question, as it can be quite a minefield out there. Especially with today's prices on these watches, you need to be careful. But it is a very personal question, which applies not only to vintage Omega Speedm

I was hoping to take a break from the French artisan Romaric and his mind-blowing project seconde/seconde/ for the rest of the year. But what he did for Louis Erard, or what Louis Erard did for seconde/seconde/ - that has certainly broken a few taboos. ??When images of the latest Le Regulateur landed in my inbox, I had to double-check the date first. No, it wasn’t April Fools. Then I careful

This week, Balazs takes the reigns and welcomes the fastest Canadian swimmer of all time, Olympic medalist Brent Hayden, to the smooth booth.

Have you ever heard of the Tissot 1853 Le Locle? If you've ever found yourself looking for a sub-$1000 modern Swiss watch you might have come across it before. Otherwise, it probably has escaped your radar altogether. In general, the Tissot catalog is so extensive that it's typically hard to keep up. We all know the PRX, sure, but aside from some of the heritage models, other watches in the lineup
