As part of the 2019 collection presented at ‘Time To Move’, Glashütte Original’s main novelty came as a surprise. More used to traditional and complex watches inspired by the German school of watchmaking, the brand came out with something we didn’t expect, a new collection of diver’s watches, the SeaQ.

There is more than one icon at Seiko… Far more. Not surprisingly, most of them are part of the Prospex collection and relate to the world of divers. Think 62Mas, Hi-Beat 300m and Tuna Professional (all of them recently re-created). And there’s the ‘Turtle’, the watch known under the reference 6105, a watch that has […]
About a year ago, Seiko presented a new range of watches in the Presage collection, once again paying tribute to traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
