Introducing The Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m Summer Blue, The Return of An Icon (Live Pics & Price)
Part of the Seamaster 75th anniversary collection, Omega had to release a dedicated version of one of its most iconic dive watches, the Ploprof. With its oversized dimensions, distinctive asymmetrical shape, giant crown guard and unique crown placement, this professional diver truly stands apart. As you would expect, the new Ploprof comes with the same treatment as the other Seamaster 75th anniversary models including a compelling gradient blue dial. But there is more. What we have here is a new generation Ploprof, with a new case design. Here's what you have to know.?The history of the Ploprof is connected to the development of deep-sea saturation diving in the late 1950s to answer the needs of various industries such as offshore oil and gas exploration, underwater construction, scientific research, and underwater welding or inspection. The technique enables divers to perform complex and time-consuming tasks at depths that would be otherwise inaccessible using conventional diving meth

My Personal Thoughts On The Lebois and Co Heritage Chronograph
If you’ve been keeping an eye on MONOCHROME Watches, and I sort of expect you have, you might have seen this handsome little devil pop up before. It’s the latest model coming from Lebois & Co., a revived historic name closely linked to Airain thanks to its Dutch owner Tom van Wijlick. Reviving a name from the past is never easy, but Tom has been steadily building an interesting range of mechanical watches under both brands. We’re already familiar with the Airain Type 20? and Sous Marine, for instance, as well as the Lebois & Co. Avantgarde Date and Venturist, for that matter. So with the Heritage Chronograph being on and off my wrist for a couple of months now, it’s about time I share my personal experience with it.Lebois & Co. is one of those names that ceased operations in the early 1970s, around the time the quartz crisis would come into full swing and wipe out a staggering number of brands. It was originally founded in 1934 by a member of the Dod

Petrolhead Corner: The Sheer Insanity Of The Isle Of Man Tourist Trophy
As a biker myself for a little over a year now, and having recently purchased my very first motorcycle, my interest is not purely focused on cars anymore. Admittedly, next to watches cars are my biggest passion, but the love affair with two-wheeled motorized fun is growing stronger and stronger with every ride I take. This perfectly blends in my love for racing, on both four and two wheels, although I have no intention of taking to the tracks myself. Instead, I am much happier watching from the sidelines and seeing man and machine in perfect harmony dancing from corner to corner at breakneck speeds. Those breakneck speeds are to be taken quite literally with the oldest continuous motor race in history; the Isle of Man TT. And with the 2023 edition just behind us, I felt it was time to take a look at this pure adrenaline-fueled insanity!Peter Hickman on the BMW M1000RR, winning 4 races this year and 13 in total.Admittedly, racing motorbikes on closed circuits is one thing, but what we&#

Introducing: The Classic Tudor Black Bay (41mm) Goes All-Black
Last year, Tudor unveiled a deeply refreshed version of its original Black Bay – understand the 41mm edition – featuring multiple important changes; Master Chronometer movement, updated and slimmer case, new bracelet options, new clasp, new crown and new bezel… Almost an entirely new watch. First presented in the classic burgundy and gold colour scheme, it now comes back in a typical dive watch style; steel and black dial, with white and silver contrast. Meet the 2024 Tudor Black Bay reference 7941A1A0NU, available in 3 styles of bracelet.This couldn’t be more monochrome, and more classic dive watch… Following the refresh last year of the popular collection launched in 2012, Tudor now expands its original Black Bay range with a black bezel model. But contrary to what we’ve seen in the past, the gold-colored accents are gone and now it’s all about tone-on-tone, neutral theme for a robust, no-nonsense dive watch. Ad - Scroll to continu
