Watches cost money; it’s as simple as that. And it’s also a given that luxury watches cost luxury money. But the assumption that you need to spend a fortune to wear something cool and stylish is wrong, luckily. While most of us might dream of tourbillons, split-second chronographs, minute repeaters or perpetual calendars, not many […]
The end of the year is near, so it’s time for the MONOCHROME team to sit down and look back at everything that happened during what was objectively a rich year for new models… With so many new launches, there was a lot to pick from in all categories and all price ranges. Today, we […]
For about a year and a half, basically since the launch of the 5 Sports Style GMT collection, it seems that the dual-time complication has become the main focus of Seiko, applying this convenient feature across most of its ranges. We’ve seen it in the SPB381, SPB383 and SPB385, the first mechanical GMT divers of […]
Whenever we’re talking about Seiko‘s sports watches, those produced under the Prospex range, my mind quickly pictures a dive watch… There’s no denying the influence of the Japanese watchmaker in this field. It has been instrumental. However, we can’t reduce the history of Seiko’s professional watches only to aquatic models. The brand has had an […]

This elegant and surprisingly retro Presage watch, the reference SPB359, impressed by its combination of antique design (something that isn’t common in vintage-inspired watches), its compact case and […]
Limited editions are a dime a dozen these days, and Seiko is well-known for playing that game. It seems like every other week, Seiko releases a new special edition, and we have the next one lined up for you. Made in partnership with Japanese professional skateboarder Yuto Horigome, this urban take on the do-it-all Seiko […]
Regardless of whether you’re actually going to the jungle of South America, the Australian outback or perhaps even the peak of Mt Everest, it’s always comforting to know your watch is up to the task. Recently, we’ve seen an impressive number of cool and stylish adventure-ready watches, all perfectly suited to tackle at least the […]
The name Prospex at Seiko, which stands for Professional Specifications, often brings to mind dive watches. Yet, it would be highly reductive to consider this collection as only focused on aquatic models. One significant name to be seen next to Prospex is Alpinist, a collection born in 1959, a watch specially designed for Japanese mountain […]
