OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Steel 310.20.42.50.01.001 (Specs & Price)
Earlier this year, Omega introduced a new limited edition of the Speedmaster… but not any kind of edition, since this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing and thus, the 50th anniversary of a Speedmaster worn on the wrist of astronauts while walking on the Moon! And while we thought this Moonshine Gold version was the end of the story, we were wrong. So… Say hello to the OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, in STEEL!In March 2019, Omega presented a (very appealing) limited edition of the Speedmaster to mark the half-century anniversary of the Moonwatch's Lunar landing, with the Moonshine Gold and burgundy Speedy 310.60.42.50.99.001, a watch available in just 1,014 pieces and priced at CHF 32,000 (excl. VAT)… Price apart, the watch was inspired by the vintage reference BA145.022 produced from 1969 to 1973, easily recognizable thanks to its full yellow case/bracelet/dial and its burgundy bezel.The Moonshine gold Omega Speedmaster A

Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope Bronze Gold 43mm - Hands-On, Price
A couple of weeks ago, we presented Omega’s?latest chronograph creation, a surprising take on the most famous of the brand’s timepieces, a complex, visually different edition of the Speedmaster named Chronoscope. While we extensively covered the reasons behind the name and all the specifications surrounding the six stainless steel editions in this in-depth article, I wanted to come back on the most characterful and probably (at least to me) attractive of the versions. One that isn’t made of stainless steel and one that has a far less sporty attire. Let’s take a closer look at the Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope Bronze Gold.?Some of the inspirations behind the new Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope collectionChronoscope is a name that resonates in Omega’s history. It was already in use in 1885, and far more recently, it was attached to the De Ville Chronograph watches. Behind this name is a tribute to the brand’s past, to watches from the 1930s and 1940s equ

Patek Philippe did it again. They made a stainless steel version of reference 3939, which was only available in precious metals before, and it was auctioned for a record price of € 1,400,000 Euro!?Unique for Patek Philippe is that stainless steel complicated watches, often sell for an incredibly high price. Often for much more than their siblings in gold. Why you might wonder? Well, the stainless steel version is probably more rare and more sought after. This model, reference 3939A, features a tourbillon and minute repeater in small stainless steel case measuring only 33.3 mm. Or is this an indication that small watches are gaining popularity?

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Self-Winding 36mm white gold Unisex Watch (Specs & Price)
Vacheron Constantin introduces its third iteration of the Patrimony Self-Winding 36mm, this time in white gold with an automatic movement. Designed to swing it both ways, the new model will certainly be well received by women who appreciate a mechanical movement and who prefer the timeless elegance of a classic, round case, and a simple, refined dial. Unlike so many women's watches that lure us with their sparkling gem-set surfaces and sugary motifs, Vacheron's Patrimony 36mm proposes a timepiece that might seem Calvinist in appearance, but which is full of appealing details that will win converts from all denominations. But first a quick word on unisex watches.The steady rise of unisex watchesTrends in the mechanical watch world tend to move at a rather more sedate pace than hi-tech products, but for horological trend spotters, there is no denying that, of late, there has been a noticeable reduction in case diameters.
