echo/neutra is a new Italian microbrand launching its first AVERAU collection on Kickstarter, consisting of five pieces known as the Versante line. While being quite classic in their design at first, several discreet details make them appealing and different. But best of all, besides this cool tool-ish design, it’s what you’ll get for the price […]
The Oris stand was buzzing at Baselworld 2019. The brand’s high-performance dive watches were the stars of the show with a surprising and very cool iteration of the Sixty-Five in a retro two-tone bronze and steel case and bracelet, and two Aquis limited edition models dedicated to ocean environmental projects, the Aquis Clean Ocean and the Aquis Great Barrier Reef III. Fleshing out the Aquis collection with a relevant and practical function for globetrotters, the brand presented its Aquis Diver GMT Date.
For its 2019 collection, Girard-Perregaux introduced an original “Earth to Sky” theme, which has been implemented on both existing pieces (like the 1966) or on new watches (like the Laureato Absolute).

During Baselworld 2019, Rolex presented a steel version of the classic Datejust 36 – well, the Steel/Rolesor version with white gold bezel to be precise.

In the past few years, Longines has been quite successful in re-editing some of its most glorious vintage watches.

Altogether, this creates a solid, coherent “Heritage” collection. One of the latest additions is pushing the concept even further… Vintage-inspired and faux-ageing to the max is what you’ll get with the Longines Heritage Military, a re-edition of the RAF-issued 6B/159 watch.
It isn’t the first time we’ve seen a “Bellytanker” watch by Bell & Ross – see here; nor is it the first time we’re in front of a bronze-cased BR V2-94 Chronograph piece – just look at the Revolution/The Rake Bellytanker “El Mirage”. So what’s new here? In short, just another variation on the model, […]
It was just a matter of time before the regular stainless steel version of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph would make its debut. We knew it after seeing the Bronze Carl Brashear model, we just didn’t know how and when… The wait is over, as the first steel edition of the Sixty-Five Chronograph is out, […]

Retro style, Swiss automatic movement, 500m […]

Fast forward to 2017, when Zenith introduced the Defy El Primero 21, an innovative chronograph with two regulators, capable of measuring hundredths of […]
