Hamilton is no stranger to the instrument watch. In fact, the brand owns multiple collections designed to remind its glorious past as one of the major providers of timepieces for military forces and watches for a specific purpose. This is true, for instance, with the military-inspired Khaki Field watches, a tribute to its mid-20thcentury archives (the […]
Minimalistic but detailed, designed with true ergonomics in mind, as precisely built as the cars that share their name with this watch… Porsche Design watches are unique, in the best sense of this word.

Bell & Ross’ love for aviation and pilot’s watches needs no introduction anymore. Since its foundation, the brand has had a clear focus on military watches made for action and has built its name in the instrument watch field.

This watch, the GUB Stossgesichert, was produced behind the Iron Curtain between 1954 and 1961, by what was left of the German watch industry after World War II and war reparations had stripped them of their assets. A number of companies grouped together under the name GUB (Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe or Glashütte Watch Companies) in 1951 […]
Seiko expands its Presage collection with two new limited editions inspired by the Japanese animated film Porco Rosso. With handmade enamel dials and references to Porco Rosso’s vintage red seaplane, the white dial Presage model (SNR047) is driven by hyper-precision Spring Drive technology while the black dial (SRQ033) is powered by an automatic column-wheel chronograph.

Aquastar is a very niche brand, specialized in diver’s instruments. It is also a rather young brand, in the vintage field, as it was only established in 1962.
