VIDEO: Watch our epic video about the new Zenith Chronomaster Manufacture Edition, which includes an invitation from CEO
We have had some moments over the six plus year journey of Time+Tide, and this is certainly one of them. We have been asked by Zenith, one of the great manufactures, to help them launch this – the FINAL El Primero Special Edition in the 50th Anniversary year – the Chronomaster Manufacture Edition. Above is the edited video that does it. There is also a pretty epic feature length video that you can find on our YouTube channel. We’ll be talking a little more about this one over the coming days. But put it this way, we have a fair amount of time covered if you’re struggling for lockdown viewing as a watch lover. It features exclusive interviews about the new watch, and also includes Wei Koh from Revolution talking about the recent Revolution Limited Edition ‘Cover Girl’ A3818 Revival. Last, but certainly not least, because this feature length video is largely focused on the movement powering this, and many other Zenith models, we have watchmaker Michael Woods explaining what makes the El Primero tick. The watch is a 38mm Chronomaster, featuring a new configuration of blue subdials that was discovered in the attic of Charles Vermot. It is powered…

Young Queen of Cool Billie Eilish is known for her avant-garde fashion sense, firmly cementing oversized hoodies, fluorescent hair and dad sneakers into vogue. The five-time Grammy winner and two-time Guinness World Record holder also has a fondness for jewellery — and lots of it. She’ll regularly be snapped with fingers stacked with rings, wrists loaded with bracelets and watches, and a neck almost hidden from sight with boldly themed necklaces. She confirmed her passion for lavishly created jewellery and watches in a recent photoshoot with Kenneth Cappello, where she was spotted wearing a highly unusual Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with matching Cuban link chain and signet ring. A warning for purists: this watch cannot be unseen… (For the rest of us, buckle up, it’s wild) The watch was first revealed as part of a set called the Wild Coat collection at Art Basel Miami Beach, including the Cuban link chain, two rings and a lighter case. Each piece within the set is yellow gold inlaid with rose gold to achieve the different colours of the leopard spots. Art Basel Miami Beach is the North American arm of the international art fair that hold shows in Hong Kong and, of course,…
With the announcement that Omega will be the official timekeeper of the 36th America’s Cup comes the release of the brand new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 36th America’s Cup Limited Edition. The watch is presented on an eye-catching integrated rubber strap with red lining and contrast white stitching. The 43.50mm Planet Ocean is offered in stainless steel and ‘limited’ to just 2,021 pieces. The blue ceramic diving bezel is in-filled with white and red liquid ceramic to create a 5-minute countdown for racing. The sympathetic white date wheel should please purists and the red numerals at 6, 9 and 12 contrast sharply, reinforcing a summer-fresh palette of red, white and blue. The dial is in white polished ceramic, and incorporates the competition’s name above 6 o’clock. The America’s Cup logo has also been placed on the counterweight of the central seconds hand. Those fearing a solid engraved caseback – so common on commemorative editions like this – can relax. The America’s Cup logo is applied to the caseback’s sapphire crystal, but you can also see the Omega Master Chronometer Calibre 8900 through the crystal. The 36th America’s Cup is set to take place in March 2021. Competitors will sail in…
Let me start this review with an admission: I thought the Big Crown was going to turf many of its current models in 2020. The Milgauss, for example, is well past due for an evolution from its current form, if it remains at all. Likewise, the Air-King – which stylistically borrowed heavily from a set of dash clocks made for a land speed record car that Rolex no longer has any affiliation with – was also rumoured to be disappearing for good. In my opinion, though, the model that was most ready for a reboot was the divisive Explorer II Ref.216570. Here is a watch that has been in production for one year shy of a decade and, until recently, hasn’t exactly been a fan favourite. In fact, before stainless steel professional models escalated in value, the Explorer II, in either the black or white dial, was readily available from your local AD. I should know – I used to work for one. Why was it never as desirable as something like a Submariner or Daytona? Well, the large 42mm case size has been off-putting for many, considering that its predecessor, the Ref. 16570, was a more agreeable 40mm. Then…
