In a catalogue composed mainly of ultra-large, boldly shaped and solar-powered dive watches, the Citizen Promaster Mechanical Diver 200m, also known as the Fujitsubo, came as a refreshing surprise. Classically shaped, almost vintage in its looks and spirit, but yet packing an impressive list of features despite a reasonable price, it has become a hit […]
The name Vulcain is, for obvious reasons, often associated with the alarm complication. The venerable brand, founded in 1858 in Le Locle, Switzerland, has since 1947 made this function a signature element of so many of its watches. Slightly dormant in past years, the brand has recently been revived and various historical models have been […]
While we’ve recently covered the 62MAS, a very faithful (and pricey) re-edition of Seiko’s and Japan’s first-ever dive watch, the Japanese brand continues exploring its past icons with the launch today of yet another interpretation of a famed diver. However, faithfulness isn’t the topic of the day. This new watch is actually part of the […]
Rado has sponsored tennis for over three decades now. Since 1985, the brand has partnered with several tournaments but also with athletes such as Ashleigh Barty. Their latest tennis-themed timepiece is a limited edition created with young British player Cameron Norrie, a member of the Rado Tennis family since 2021. And as you have probably […]
Seiko‘s reputation in the field of dive watches isn’t to be demonstrated anymore. Within its Prospex line (which stands for Professional Specifications), there are dozens of emblematic and ultra-capable models. However, if there was only one watch to remember, it should be (of course) the first. Known as the 62MAS, the 1965 Seiko Diver reference […]

In 2022, watchmaker Tudor unveiled its partnership with Alinghi Red Bull Racing, a contender in the most competitive yacht race in history, the America’s Cup. This was the first time Tudor ventured into the world of competitive yacht racing. But as you know, the brand isn’t only about partnering for the sake of advertising. There are, very […]
When Oris released a Divers Sixty-Five series with surprisingly bright-coloured dials a couple of years ago, it hit the right note, and the pink, light blue and green bronze models became successful and are still very much in trend. A year later, in 2022, the watchmaker from Hölstein added equally bright-coloured Perlon straps to the […]
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Omega Seamaster, the longest continuously produced collection of watches by Omega. For this occasion, the brand is pulling out all stops and is introducing no less than eight celebratory pieces, including a slightly updated version of the Seamaster Diver 300M, perhaps the most iconic model of the […]
Part of the Seamaster 75th anniversary collection, Omega had to release a dedicated version of one of its most iconic dive watches, the Ploprof. With its oversized dimensions, distinctive asymmetrical shape, giant crown guard and unique crown placement, this professional diver truly stands apart. As you would expect, the new Ploprof comes with the same […]
