Hands-On Green Ceramic AP Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT
For many of us, a concept watch is designed to show off a brand's technical skills and potential direction for the future. Like the concept cars the idea was borrowed from, concept watches tend to be cutting-edge, humongously complex, far-out timepieces that are eventually toned down and evolve into tamer commercial editions or never see the light of day. At Audemars Piguet, the first Royal Oak Concept watch was unveiled in 2002 and, in an unusual turn, evolved into a full-fledged collection known as the Royal Oak Concept. One of its members, the Flying Tourbillon GMT, is back in the limelight with a new green ceramic bezel - a first for this collection -, green accents on the openworked dial and the imposing 44mm titanium case built like a rampart to protect the in-house movement.Royal Oak ConceptTwenty years ago, AP celebrated the 30th anniversary of its iconic Royal Oak with the launch of a 150-piece limited edition inspired by a concept car. Not to be confused with the beefed-up Ro
In-Depth: The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date
After months of speculation and anticipation, and enviously seeing Daniel Craig flaunting one, Omega has finally brought us the Seamaster Diver 300M No Date. In my initial article, I wanted to get the news out quickly, so I kept things a touch factual. Now though, after getting my hands on the two watches that are introduced, plus some time to digest everything, we’re going for a more in-depth story. Is it any good, for instance? How does it tie in with other No Date models? And most importantly perhaps, would I, or should you spend your money on it? This, and a whole lot more, is to come as I dissect the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date collection!While the spotlight often goes to the legendary Speedmaster, it is in fact the Seamaster collection that is the true cornerstone of the brand. It’s been around the longest, as the name first appeared in 1948 on the occasion of Omega’s then-100th anniversary. The collection has been in continuous production ever since,
Zenith 50 Years of El Primero Anniversary Set (Specs & Price)
Back in the 1960s, as surprising as it seems now, there was only one way to use a chronograph: you had to wind it every morning. Indeed, all (literally?all of them) were hand-wound movements… until 1969, when the world of watches changed drastically when three of the most prominent?movements ever made were launched almost simultaneously. In January 1969 though, the very first to be introduced, as suggested by its name was El Primero, “The First” Automatic Chronograph. In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this emblematic movement, Zenith introduces an exclusive “50 Years of El Primero Anniversary Set” of watches, including a faithful re-edition of the mythical?A386 and the introduction of a new movement, the Calibre 3600.?Short History of the Zenith El PrimeroWe already covered the topic of the Zenith El Primero in an in-depth article here, but a brief reminder about this legendary movement might be necessary to understand the following set of watc
FOUND: The Actual Marine Chronometer That Accompanied Charles Darwin at the HMS Beagle on his Journey to the Galapagos Islands - Monochrome Watches
Yesterday we showed you four WW-II pilot’s watches, one of which was hidden in a prisoner of war’s underpants, and today we can show you the actual Marine Chronometer of the HMS Beagle where it was together with Charles Darwin, for his epic five-year voyage to South America and the Galapagos Islands.??The British Admiralty sold it in?1911, and it disappeared from records, until now! You can own this important piece of history, as?it will be auction by Bonhams, on July?9th in London.?This specific Marine Chronometer was one of 22 that where on the H.M.S. Beagle during its second voyage (1831-1836) under captain Robert Fitzroy. It sailed to the?coast of South America ?and then sailed west across the South Pacific towards the Galapagos Islands, New Zealand and Australia, in order to help establish a chain of reliable navigational co-ordinates around the globe. On board was the young Charles Darwin and well, the rest is history.Two-Days Marine chronometer – HMS BeagleDarw
A Personal Insight To Why I Bought the Union Glashutte 1893 Johannes Durrstein
I’m very fortunate (and spoilt, in a way) to handle hundreds of watches every year working for MONOCHROME Watches. To the point that I almost have to admit it’s not that easy to be impressed anymore, but it does happen from time to time. Of course, it’s not that difficult to be amazed by very complex and exquisitely finished watches, but I have to take a certain budget into account when it concerns my own collecting adventures. But when I first stepped into the Union Glashutte manufacture about a year ago, I did not expect to be swept off my feet. The reason for this unexpected love-at-first-sight moment? The handsome 1893 Johannes Durrstein Edition Power Reserve, which I wrote about first in 2022. Seeing it in person made me pull the trigger on this one, which was far from planned, given I had a wedding to pay for shortly after that. Despite all this, and since I now own one, I wanted to revisit the 1893 Johannes Durrstein Edition Power Reserve for my own – and
