First Look: The New Omega Seamaster 37mm Milano Cortina 2026

The 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics will commence on February 6th next year and will welcome athletes from around the globe to Milano, Cortina and five other locations in Italy. As the Olympic’s long-running timekeeping partners, Omega will of course be part of it once more.

Montblanc Heritage Manufacture Pulsograph Rose Gold Brown Dial // Review
If chronographs are a hot complication today, chronographs in a vintage package are even hotter, and if they happen to be fitted with a classic Minerva movement, we're talking coveted collector's piece here. Despite the cancellation of all the major watch fairs, we were able to spend some time and take photographs of the latest Montblanc Heritage Manufacture Pulsograph model, a limited edition of 100 pieces in rose gold with an evocative tobacco-brown gradient dial. So please, make yourself comfortable in that leather wingback chair by the fireplace, help yourself to a snifter and get ready to be seduced…From pens to watchesMontblanc, the famous German manufacturer with a French name, has been making high-end writing instruments (fountain pens) since 1906. Since its introduction in 1924, Montblanc's Mesiterstuck has been the star' of the fountain pen show and was famously documented in a photograph of John F. Kennedy lending his German-made Meisterstuck 149 to Konrad Adenauer, th
Introducing The Cool Farer 36mm Three Hand Collection
It would be hard to categorise Farer as still part of the newcomers from the micro-brand scene. Established in 2015, the brand has made a name for itself and built a rather coherent collection comprising most of the “simple” complications – GMT, chrono, world time – with distinctive designs. A British brand, Farer is dedicated to originality combined with relatively classic codes and (mostly) Swiss mechanical movements – and fair prices. The latest collection is here to prove it again, and it’s not only a cool selection of designs but also a size that we enjoy. Meet the new Farer 36mm Three Hand Collection.What Farer is doing here is pretty simple: take four of its most successful designs from the classic Three Hand Collection and shrink the cases to produce a cool compact vibe. All four new models are based on existing watches that were previously available in 39mm cases – and still are. The base is simple, elegantly shaped and sleek. We’
Introducing The Updated Fixed-Bezel Tudor Black Bay 31/36/39/41 Collection
In 2012, Tudor unveiled its Black Bay dive watch. Borrowing design elements from earlier Tudor dive watches of the late 1950s and 1970s, the Black Bay has been a runaway success for the brand. In a departure from the Black Bay’s rugged tool watch looks, Tudor presents a refreshed collection for its three-hand, fixed-bezel Black Bay models in four case sizes with more sophisticated finishings, stylish sunray dials, five-link steel bracelets with a rapid adjustment system and, last but not least, in-house COSC-certified movements.Available in 31, 36, 39 and 41mm case sizes, the new fixed-bezel Black Bay collection flaunts a curvier, more sophisticated case profile. With its polished and domed flanks, the softer silhouette is accompanied by a five-link stainless steel bracelet. The big selling point here is the bracelet’s Tudor T-fit rapid adjustment system. Requiring no tools and offering five positions, the system lets you carry out instant adjustments of up to 8mm on the cl
