Nocturnal Camouflage – The New Bell & Ross BR03-92 Black Camo

After incursions in the world of sports cars (with the Aero-GT collection), in the Formula 1 field (with the BR-X1 RS16 or the brand new RS17 collection), after skull-inspired watches or even high-end watchmaking, Bell & Ross goes back to its beloved roots: military pieces. Stealth, dark, inspired by military-specifications, highly legible but still very much integrated in its environment, here is the new Bell & Ross BR03-92 Black Camo.

Hands-On – The Redesigned Edition of the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic

First introduced in the middle of the year 2013, apart from the SIHH and in a rather quiet way, the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic was a more technical (new movement) but highly faithful (a design that is deeply based on the Portugieser’s DNA) take on a watch that has been a cornerstone in the collection. For 2017, this now-classic model receives a discreet facelift, focused on the essential. Here is the IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic 2017 Edition IWC3903.

Bringing Complexity In A Commoner Attire – The Rolex Sky-Dweller In Steel or Rolesor

A Steel Sky-Dweller… This is a watch many of us were secretly hoping for (we did) but we knew chances to see it would be small.

Here are the Rolex Sky-Dweller Steel ref. 326934 and Two-Tone ref. 326933, and they come with more than just a material evolution.

La Dolce Vita Di Omega – The New Seamaster Edizione Venezia

What an unexpected but refreshing surprise… Clearly, dress watches are not Omega’s specialty – chronographs and dive watches are, but in terms of elegant and dress timepieces, their offer is short.

MeisterSinger Salthora Meta X – A Surprisingly Cool Single-Hand, Jumping Hour Dive Watch

At first, the new MeisterSinger Salthora Meta X sounded like a big surprise… But not one that we were expecting. In short, MeisterSinger was into single-hand watches with a classy / urban design but not into sports watches, and even less into dive watches. Yet, when you think about it for more than 5 seconds, you understand that this Salthora Meta X is just the natural development of the concept and one of the coolest ideas the brand could have had – and overall, an impressively well-thought timepiece. Let’s see why.

Anonimo Enlarges The Collection With The Redesigned Nautilo Bronze Blue

Anonimo is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, ever since Dino Zei and Federico Massacesi used the “remains” of the famous Florentine origins of Panerai to build a new brand after their move to Switzerland.
