Fifty-five years ago, in 1965, Seiko introduced its first-ever diver’s watch – which also happened to be the first Japanese diver’s watch. With its automatic movement, its 150m water-resistance, its robust case and its highly recognizable design, the 1965 Seiko 62MAS paved the way for multiple generations of professional dive watches to come – and […]
We’ve covered American watchmaker RGM on several occasions as it is, for the most part, the only true vertically integrated manufacturer in the US. Weiss Watch Company in Los Angeles has the in-house calibre 1003, but it’s generally an ETA/Unitas 6497 copy. That’s certainly not a bad thing but doesn’t match the unique designs and […]

Sleek and discreet, robust too, it combines […]

This resulted in great, technical-looking watches but also in a certain lack of coolness. The brand has, however, recently shown some evolutions by introducing more “fun” into the design, yet without forgetting its […]
If there’s one watch in the Oris collection that needs no introduction, it certainly is the Aquis Date. A robust dive watch, with modern and utilitarian looks, it has been praised as a very competitive option for someone in the need of a no-nonsense diving instrument, which can also be used on land as a […]

Introduced earlier this year during the Festival Automobile International in Paris, this Laureato Absolute Passion is decked out in racing red and sleek black livery to celebrate the brand’s partnership with the event. A limited edition of 50 watches, this chronograph joins the edgier, more contemporary Laureato Absolute watch sub-family distinguished by black PVD-coated titanium […]
Sinn’s dedication to tool, pilot and military watches is undeniable. The brand is one of the main specialists in this field, with a full range of no-nonsense, robust and effective watches at reasonable prices. References such as the 103, the 140 or the 356 need no introduction anymore. However, if there was only one to […]
