Introducing – Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Full Lum
Fitting a circle within a square is no simple task… And when you add the fundamental elements of a dive watch to the mix, including the required rotating bezel, this makes the task even more complex. Yet, this is what Bell & Ross has done with its BR 03-92 Diver, successfully mixing the iconic BR […]
FRIDAY WIND DOWN: Bond watches, Mido Ocean Stars and more lockdown
Well, there it is. Our home state of Victoria records its highest-ever day of coronavirus cases, and lockdown is reimposed. I guess it’s back to Rotten Tomatoes to suss out a new binging schedule. On a serious note, it’s a really difficult time for many Aussies, and we would appreciate your thoughts and prayers (maybe direct the prayers to the Aussies with cooped up young kids, like Luke Martin, Luke Benedictus and me; we have 11 between us, all under 6) as we contemplate how the heck we’re going to tackle home schooling for a second time! On the movie list might just be a whole lot of Bond movies. Because this week just gone certainly has me in the mood. Kenyon, Nick Kenyon revealed his innermost thoughts about the new Bond watch in a long video with some seriously sumptuous footage of the watch. And then we followed up with Nick Gould’s epic breakdown of every Bond watch ever. In other news, we’ve decided to reward those who support us with any watch sales with a complimentary club membership. Anybody who purchases a watch (over $1500) will receive a numbered Erika’s Originals Club Strap and 12-month membership worth $129.…

IN-DEPTH: Linde Werdelin release '3 Timer' GMT in sandblasted steel with stunning blue gradient dial, limited to just 55
No fauxtina, no sub 40mm case and seemingly hewn out of a three ton block of arctic granite … I am blown away by how something so big can be so refreshing. A massive chunk of sandblasted blue freshness. You can tell by my name that I might have a Nordic bias here – but my personal preference is small, vintage, with a hint of bling. Yes, everything the Linde Werdelin range is not. Still, I feel myself drawn to this big chunk of a watch, seemingly made for my demigod namesake and not for my puny wrists. The lineage The 3 Timer follows in the shape and form of what we know and love from Linde Werdelin. The DNA is easily traceable from the first Biformeter through 3 Timers, Spidolites and the other previously released Nordic tools. The shape is unapologetically large, yet sits with surprising comfort on my wrist thanks to studied ergonomics. The rather wide bracelet or integrated rubber band gives it the vibe of other chunky tools we know from the likes of Hublot but with an identity all of its own. Polarising? Who cares! To succeed in the unrelenting metamorphosis of the 2020 retail environment…

Hands-on – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm
It might be smaller than your average Royal Oak, but there is no mistaking the lineage of these 34mm models. All the salient Royal Oak traits are now housed in a more condensed case, an ideal size for smaller wrists and a solid unisex proposal. Although 34mm might strike you as small in a line-up […]
UPDATED: The complete list of watches James Bond wore on-screen
Editor’s note: This week we are taking a look at the brand new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition that is set to hit screens on the wrist of Daniel Craig later this year, and we couldn’t help but think – how does it compare to the rest of the Bond watches? Fortunately, Nick Gould had put together a complete list of the watches James Bond has worn on-screen since the Ian Fleming books were translated onto the silver screen in 1962. We’ve also updated the list to include the most recent watch to be worn by Daniel Craig in his final appearance as 007, wearing the suavely understated titanium Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition that we are looking forward to seeing in action on Bond’s wrist very soon. We all know James Bond, AKA 007, the suave British secret service agent who has been on missions all over the world. Throughout many of the films, he has always had a wristwatch to keep track of the time and, in some cases, help him get out of a jam. Today we take a look at the watches that have featured in the films. Dr. No – Rolex Submariner Reference 6538…
