As the trend for vintage-inspired watches consolidates, brands continue to dig into their archives to find inspiration and breathe new life into past models. Milus, a brand with over 100 years of history and recently revived has some rich background in field watches and divers’ instruments. Following the Snow Star we recently presented to you, […]
When it comes to watches in space, the first watch that instantly comes to mind is the Omega Speedmaster, which in July 1969 became the first watch on the Moon – hence its nickname “Moonwatch“. Many NASA astronauts in the Apollo programme wore Rolex GMT-Master watches, with some of these watches accompanying them to the Moon […]
In addition to the three vintage-inspired recreations we presented yesterday, Seiko presents a fourth dive watch to celebrate the 55th anniversary of its first diver. While the “trilogy” of reissues is rare, exclusive and high-end, this one plays in the more accessible field, which Seiko has championed for some years now. Well proportioned, well designed […]
Dive watches and Seiko are a long and rich story – as we’ve seen earlier today with the 55th Anniversary Trilogy of dive watches. This expertise isn’t reserved to the praised Prospex collection and Grand Seiko, the high-end division of the Japanese brand, also benefits from this. Today, part of its 2020 collection, Grand Seiko […]
Fifty-five years ago, in 1965, Seiko introduced its first-ever diver’s watch – which also happened to be the first Japanese diver’s watch. With its automatic movement, its 150m water-resistance, its robust case and its highly recognizable design, the 1965 Seiko 62MAS paved the way for multiple generations of professional dive watches to come – and […]
We see more and more “watch clubs” popping up around the globe. Don’t get us wrong, we actually encourage these initiatives as they are the best way to generate passion and increase horological knowledge among their members. One of these social hubs is named “Qatar Watch Club” and despite being quite young, it has already […]
There’s nothing unusual in seeing a brand ambassador wearing one of his sponsor’s timepieces. Pretty normal. Seeing them posting a close-up photo of a watch on Instagram is already something less common. But what we’ve spotted yesterday is even less “classic style”. While it’s no surprise to see David Beckham sporting a Tudor watch, the […]
Back in late 2018, William Massena simultaneously launched his own project named “Massena LAB” as well as the first watch resulting from this venture, the superb bronze Habring2 Erwin LAB01. Known as an avid watch collector (among many other things), Massena has a few connections in the watch industry (to say the least) and knows […]
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. The brand started supplying watches to Jacques Cousteau’s dive team in 1965, and it seems that the brand’s founder, Frédéric Robert, working under the umbrella of the […]
If there’s one watch in the Oris collection that needs no introduction, it certainly is the Aquis Date. A robust dive watch, with modern and utilitarian looks, it has been praised as a very competitive option for someone in the need of a no-nonsense diving instrument, which can also be used on land as a […]
