Released in 2021, the Seiko Presage Style 60’s was designed to become the brand’s vintage-inspired, slightly elegant offer in a relatively accessible price range, next to the more high-end Craftsmanship and Sharp Edged series. First presented with a time-and-date or an open-heart movement, this watch modelled after the important 1964 Crown watch, has since been […]
Together with the chronograph, I do believe that the combination of a dive watch with a traveller’s function, a.k.a a GMT complication, makes for some of the most attractive and practical watches.

With its understated good looks, the Patria collection welcomes this handsome GMT model with a discreet yet legible second time zone tucked into the small […]
A year after its debut in stainless steel, Parmigiani’s ingenious GMT watch is back in a luxurious 18k rose gold case. As a member of the Tonda PF luxury sports watch family, the operative words of user-friendliness and understatement are upheld in this GMT model that uses superimposed hour hands to indicate local and home […]
Following the turbulence generated by Patek Philippe’s Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Ref. 5524 of 2015 with its vintage pilot’s watch flair, the model has settled down as a stable member of the Calatrava family.
