Raven Trekker 40 Watch Review

Everyday-ready and eminently wearable, the new Raven Trekker 40 is the sort of meat-and-potatoes dive watch that makes you want to quit desk diving for the rest of your days.

Introducing – Seiko Prospex Turtle SRPB11 and Samurai SRPB09 Blue Lagoon Limited Editions

A few days ago, our boss Frank spotted something rather surprising on Instagram, some new, never-seen-before editions of super-cool Seiko Prospex watches, published here by Seiko Watch USA. Well, for most brands, new limited editions won’t be a super-big piece of news. But here, we’re talking about Seiko Prospex and some new editions, especially because it includes the “Turtle” and the “Samurai”, are something that will definitely create some buzz inside collectors’ circles. So, as a preview of what will be showed at Baselworld 2017, here are the Seiko Prospex Turtle SRPB11 and Samurai SRPB09 Blue Lagoon Limited Editions.

Hands-On – Oris Divers Sixty-Five Silver Dial (And Why A Bright Dial Diver Can Also Work)

In a recent piece of news, Oris announced a new iteration for the 42mm Divers Sixty-Five. While this model already exists in blue or green, it now comes with a rather unexpected dial, which even if strongly playing on the usual vintage theme of the collection (and maybe even more now) is featuring a silver color, something rather unusual for a dive watch. Well, this Oris Divers Sixty-Five Silver Dial was clearly requiring to be seen in the metal (no press photo can give credits to a watch), something we did during the brand’s pre-Baselworld Preview where we already saw the Oris Altimeter Rega Limited Edition. And believe us, it was necessary.

Ball Engineer Master II Diver Worldtime Watch Review

I never assumed that a world timer dive watch would be useful, but consider the fact that it is popular enough for Ball watches to have produced a second run of them. It was several years ago that Ball originally released the Ball Engineer Master II Diver Worldtime, and earlier in 2016 they came out with a slightly tweaked version.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 Caliber 5 Titanium WAY208C Watch Review

Revealed at Baselworld 2016, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300 Caliber 5 Titanium WAY208C reference seemed a fitting match for a trek up the canyon, whose rugged outcroppings are cleaved in two by the meandering waters of Clear Creek. This stealthy “desert diver” was a quiet addition to TAG Heuer’s 2016 Baselworld announcements.
