First Look: The New-Gen AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding, with new Calibre 7138
About a year ago, when Audemars Piguet held its yearly event to present its new collection, the brand introduced a highly appealing version of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding, made with artist and seasoned collector John Mayer. Besides the incredibly textured dial, AP issued a highly important statement. This watch marked the swan song of the calibre 5134, becoming the last watch to feature the movement based on the calibre that once powered the 1972 Royal Oak. Well, without further ado, let’s go straight to the point: here’s the new generation of Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding (ref. 26674), inaugurating the calibre 7138, a very clever movement that is a clear step up compared to the old calibre. A great way to mark the beginning of AP’s 150th-anniversary celebrations.Modern mechanics, the new Calibre 7138Perpetual calendars are a long tradition at Audemars Piguet. Notably, in 1955, the company released the world's first perpetual calendar wrist

Buying Guide: Six Watches That Confirm Green Is Here To Stay
We often talk about trends in watches, as designs, materials and colours regularly follow the preferences of the public. Sometimes, though, these trends phase out very slowly or not at all. And when it comes to colour, that’s always a very enjoyable topic of debate. Take blue, for instance, which was at one point ‘the new black’. One of the more recent on-trend colours that seems to stand the test of time, almost unaffected, is green. We’ve touched upon the topic before, but it shows no signs of blowing over any time soon. And with watches like the Chopard L.U.C. XPS Forest Green, Blancpain Air Command 36mm Green and a few others, nobody’s complaining!Blancpain Air Command 36mm GreenWhile previously we included the 42mm model and its 5Hz frequency, we turn to the more compact 36mm edition of the Blancpain Air Command instead. Being smaller in size does not mean it’s any less attractive to look at. Quite the opposite, as the 36.2mm wide grade 23 titan

Hands-On - 2022 TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 in 40mm
Last year TAG Heuer revamped the well-known Aquaracer Professional range, the brand's long-standing dive watch collection. It featured an updated, more refined look that was in line with the collection's lineage that started with the 2000-series in the early 1980s. The DNA is especially apparent in the overall shape of the case, which is retained albeit updated in the latest collection. New for 2022 is the addition of a slightly less beefy and bulky diver, and we've already gotten our hands on it prior to the LVMH Watch Week. Here's the new 40mm TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200.The origins of the Aquaracer collection can be traced back to the early 1980s when TAG Heuer presented the 2000-series of watches. This series of dive and chronograph watches lasted until 2005, a year after TAG Heuer used the Aquaracer moniker for the first time. Since then, it has been a stable part of the brand's portfolio.
