Hands-on – Richard Mille RM 11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph, the facelift of an icon
The Richard Mille RM 011 is a watch that perfectly sums up the Richard Mille spirit. We know this watch for almost 10 years and we’ve seen it in dozens of editions – some linked to certain events (Le Mans Classic), made for special friends of the brand (Felipe Masse, Roberto Mancini…) and manufactured in all possible colors or materials (red quartz, ceramic, carbon fiber, titanium, gold…). This watch could certainly be the most popular RM watch – and is probably the brand’s best seller too. After so many variations, it was time for this icon to get some fresh air, and after a strong facelift, this watch becomes the Richard Mille RM 11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph.

Hands-On: The Sistem51 Irony, A Steel Watch With An Entirely Machine-Made Movement
Today, Swatch’s Sistem51 Irony collection goes on sale in the U.S. We first showed you the new stainless steel automatic Swatches just a few weeks ago and immediately knew that we’d have to reserve judgement until we got them in the metal (it does still feel weird to say that about a Sistem51). Well, the wait is over and I got to spend a day in our office sizing up the new collection. All my thoughts after the jump.
#TBT Bulova Oceanographer Snorkel 666 a Rare Vintage Bargain
It’s increasingly difficult to find a deal in today’s hot vintage watch market, but I think I have a great suggestion for you in the Bulova Oceanographer Snorkel 666. No, we’re not talking about a chronograph this week, but, instead, that other species of sports watch that captures loads of interest: the diver. So, with […]
Introducing – 3 new Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 GMT, including one limited edition (Ref. SBGJ021, SBGJ017, SBGJ019)
The Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 GMT is already known from collectors, and praised for its superior quality, its design mixing elegant and casual attitude and its highly technical movement. It is a watch that was already available in both standard editions and in one colorful edition (the SBGJ005, with its green dial and highly decorated rotor). Already at that time, we had two regular watches and one limited. Well, the same scenario is about to happen, with 3 new versions of the Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 GMT: 2 elegant regular pieces (SBGJ017 and SBGJ019) and one limited edition with deep red dial and a rotor depicting the sunrise on Mount Iwate (SBGJ021). Overview.
