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.

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.

A Rapid Increase of Young Watch Start-Ups – Featuring the New “Bronson” by Collins

In the watch industry, there are a number of big players, most of whom work in a way that is almost as fluid as the mechanisms of a watch. Whereas the small brands are worth watching for a different reason, they are driven strictly by their passion for watchmaking and their desire to create new and intuitive products. Young watch start-ups all share a similar goal, and that is to be successful.

Introducing – Seiko Diver Scuba Limited Edition by Giugiaro Design Ref. SBEE001 / 002

The association between Italian designer Giugiaro and Seiko watches is nothing new and already produced some of the most daring watches from the Japanese brand – as for instance the Seiko Chronograph 7A28-7000, famous for its appearance in Alien movies. Since a few years, Seiko reintroduces some of the greatest watches designed under the pen of Giugiaro, including the 2015 Limited Edition Reissue Seiko Sced035 or recently an Astron watch. Today, using the iconic asymmetrical case, Seiko reissues a rather unknown dive watch made in the 1980s with Giugiaro, with the new Seiko Diver Scuba Limited Edition by Giugiaro Design Ref. SBEE001 and 002.

The Comeback of The Oris Regulateur ‘Der Meistertaucher’ – With Probably The Best Possible Display For A Dive Watch

Think about it for a second… What is the most important feature of a dive watch? Its water resistance? Its second hand? Its bezel? Of course, it is a combination of these elements however, pro-divers won’t contradict me, THE ultimate feature of a dive watch is the minute hand. For safety reasons, the minute hand is key to calculate remain diving time and decompression stages. Oris knows about it for already some years and comes back with a new version of the Regulateur ‘Der Meistertaucher’, a watch intensively thought, built for pro-divers and with the appeal of its original display.

Ulysse Nardin Goes Vintage, with the Super-Cool Diver Le Locle

As of this year, you’ll see several extremely nice watches from Ulysse Nardin, all paying homage to the great past of the brand (and believe us, since its inception in 1846, the brand has done A LOT). Recently, UN launched a watch as a tribute to the great Ludwig Oeschlin (a watch that will soon be under our loupe) and now, it is something drastically different, quite unexpected from the brand; a vintage dive watch… Surprising at first, but the result, in the name of the Ulysse Nardin Diver Le Locle, is properly cool.

The Porsche 911 And The REC 901 And How They Are Related – A Personal Story

Forgive me, this will be a deeply one-sided article. I will not focus on anything else but my own love and experience for once. Usually we see the light AND dark side of something, and try to relate that to you, our readers. Not this time, oh no! Now, it has become personal! Why? Because of my passion for all things “Zuffenhausen“. Yes, there will be talk about watches and yes I will share hands-on experience with you, however first I have to get something off of my chest…
