As promised, here is our “live from London” hands-on with Bremont’s brand-new line up of vintage-inspired dive watches.
The Monta OceanKing is a no-nosense dive watch, nicely executed and powered by an Eterna movement. The underlying idea of the OceanKing was to craft a modern interpretation of the traditional tool watches of the mid 1950s and early 1960s with a focus on functionality and quality – Precise execution has resulted in a great diving companion that is a perfect daily wearer too. Check-out the Monta OceanKing Dive Watch.

We don’t get to talk about Ralf Tech too much, but right off the bat I want to say that I really became a much bigger fan of the Ralf Tech WRV V Automatic 1977 “Parisienne” dive watch after spending a few weeks with it. Given the amount of watches we’re exposed to here, it can be difficult for anything to “stand out.”
British watch maker Bremont’s London-based “Basel-On-Thames” event has officially started, and they have announced a broad swath of new models and line extensions. From new divers and pilots’ watches to the return of the Norton, there is plenty to see.

When it has been launched, back in December 2015, we’ve been fairly surprised with the Ressence Type 5… In a very good way, this has to be said. For sure, a dive watch from Ressence was really not expected, however, when knowing the evolution of the concept initialized with the Type 3, it felt like a natural evolution. Apart from the cool display, this watch, thanks to its oil-filled dial, allowed to be the only mechanical dive watch with zero reflections underwater (and if you’re doubtful, see our field test here). Just between the SIHH and the upcoming Baselworld, Ressence now comes with a full titanium version of this watch, the Type 5G, and it has some arguments to convince. And after you saw it yesterday on all our competitors’ websites with press photos, we, at Monochrome, go hands-on with it.
Haldor is a small brand that has aimed to create a larger than life dive watch with some of the best specs possible at a friendly price. The result is the Haldor Abissi 1000m watch.
There are few watches like the Ressence Type 5. Actually, there are exactly zero watches quite like it – as the Type 5 continues the Ressence tradition of manufacturing the world’s first and still only oil-filled mechanical watches.
