2022 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Omegas sports watches. This year marks the 65th anniversary for the Speedmaster series (along with the Seamaster 300 and the Railmaster), and the Swiss marque has seized the opportunity to kick off a year of festivities with a new rendition of the 1957 original. Combining a highly faithful recreation of the very first Speedmaster with subtle material improvements and razor-sharp execution, the new Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 in 18K Canopus Gold is a [...]

Known as the dressier alternative to the professional dive watches in the Omega Seamaster line, the Aqua Terra collection has long served largely as Omegas straightforward, time-only option with aquatic capability. New for Baselworld 2017, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Chronometer collection introduces three new pieces that feature subtle changes in aesthetics as well as minor tweaks to the overall design.Certain updates are common to all three of the new Aqua Terra models. First, the te [...]

When the Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT SBGE248 was announced a month ago, I was cautiously enthusiastic about it but reserved final judgment for when I could see it in the metal. That vibrant blue and gold two-tone layout looked great in the press shots, but as we all know, sometimes renderings dont always translate to the delivered product. Well, I got to spend some time with the SBGE248 last week and, as those of you who follow on Instagram found, it absolutely delivered. Restricting the two-t [...]

With multiple events on the years race calendar joining the long list of COVID-related cancellations, its been a choppy ride for the 2020 sailing race calendar, but that hasnt stopped Omega from sailing on with not one, but now two unique seafaring watches for the crewmen of the two teams its sponsoring. Back in May, we were first presented with this special-edition Planet Ocean built to commemorate the 36th Americas cup and to be worn by the New Zealand ETNZ team, which Omega has long supported [...]

Sponsored Post written by Rob CaplanAlong with many critics and collectors, the Oris Divers Sixty-Five was our favorite 2015 timepiece under $2,000. Now, thanks to our unique relationship and shared vision with Oris, my brother Russ and I are proud to announce the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Topper Edition: a 100-piece limited edition non-date version of the Divers Sixty-Five. Using dial text and font treatments similar to the original Oris Divers Sixty-Five, we were able to work with Oris designers [...]

On a few instances I have dedicated discussion to the world of luxury diving watches. To some, it seems a contradiction, why imbue a tool meant to be exposed to harsh elements with a luxury facade? To others, it seems like the perfect combination of things they love. I fall into this latter category. The seminal luxury diving watch was the omega Submariner. Since them, many have come in to market and have succeeded omega at its own game in many areas.Today the object of my affection are the most [...]

Ask someone what they think of Rado right now, and they might mention Andy Murray (as a brand ambassador, the tennis star often sports the Rado D-Star 200). But there are some things going on behind the scenes at this company. Fans of Rado love the company?because they love the designs, none perhaps more so that the famed 1998 Rado Ceramica. Well, now Rado has collaborated with industrial designer Konstantin Grcic to breathe life into an already well-known piece with the new Rado Ceramica Konsta [...]

At SIHH 2015, Parmigiani quietly debuted a duo of skeletonized watches for him and her in the Tonda collection known as the Parmigiani Tonda 1950 Squelette watches ( debut here). At the time, Parmigiani only mentioned the 18k white gold version for men and the 18k rose gold model with the diamond-decorated bezel with frosted dial for women. It appears as though Parmigiani decided to produce two variations of the watch for men as well as three variations of the Parmigiani Tonda 1950 Squelette for [...]

One of the most interesting things that I learned from Patek Philippe In America: Marketing the Worlds Foremost Watch was just how important Americas role was in the image and success that Patek Phillipe has today. It is probably fair to say that not nearly as many people would care about Patek Philippe if it was not for the brands clever marketing and approach to the American market during the latter part of the 19th century until today. If you want to learn why, youll need to pick up the book. [...]

The oft neglected (in the US) Audemars Piguet Millenary is getting a major re-haul for 2011 with the Millenary 4101 collection. Using the same ovoid shape of case as the previous Millenary, the dial and movement are totally new and based on the very rare and high-end Audemars Piguet Millenary AP Escapement collection (see image of one below). Those models had a special high-beat escapement and came in a few varieties with a price point usually in the $300,000 $500,000 range. The style of the mo [...]

A few months ago I got to visit the Maurice Lacroix watch manufacture in Saignelegier, Switzerland. No, I still cant pronounce the name of the city, but the building itself was surprisingly modern and well-designed. While relatively new, Maurice Lacroix as a brand is also pretty new in the scheme of other Swiss watches in the area. The brand was founded in 1975 with ties to the area going back to the early 1960s I believe.What you need to know about Maurice Lacroix is that they are among the few [...]

In the upper echelons of haute horlogerie, many designs are as much works of miniature sculpture as they are functional timepieces. Perhaps no other brand exemplifies this extravagant three-dimensional design philosophy more thoroughly than Jacob Co., especially through its opulent Astronomia series. The Astronomia has incorporated everything from multi-axis tourbillons to stylized orreries over the years, and for its latest exploration of the concept Jacob Co. adds a somewhat more familiar co [...]

The latest installment in Richard Milles ongoing series of luxury sports watches in honor of brand ambassador Rafael Nadal is the beautiful new Richard Mille RM 35-03 Rafael Nadal Automatic, which comes in two color variants and was originally debuted on here. Today I go hands-on with the white-cased version that comes with a fun baby-blue rubber strap. The watches are not a limited edition, but like all Richard Mille watches, they are limited in production and challenging to get nowadays due t [...]

Convertible cars are always those that have a folding down top. People associate the term with wearing sunglasses, breezes that increase with a vehicles speed, and mid-life crisis time. Though when you think about it, the term convertible just means changeable. Convertible couches are ones that turn into beds for example. And convertible watches are those that turn into something else. There are dozens of convertible watch styles and types. Many of them function to change the look of the watch o [...]

Whether youre a fighter pilot, a civilian aviator, or just a dyed-in-the-wool tool watch enthusiast, theres a pretty good chance that your first brush with Breitling was one of its Professional watches-a broad line of stylish quartz-powered references that has remained one of the brands core collections since its informal debut as the Aerospace in 1985. Over the last three and a half decades, the Professional umbrella has evolved dramatically, from the entry-level Aerospace to more feature-rich [...]
