Introducing The Function-Packed Ollech & Wajs OW Astrochron
The Ollech & Wajs 1967 Astrochron was one of the first chronographs suited for professional divers thanks to its 200m water-resistant case. Equipped with a Valjoux 72 movement, a movement it shared with models like the original Daytona, the Astrochron has been selected by Ollech & Wajs for a remake this year. While the Astrochron borrows some design cues from its 1967 ancestor and is powered by a descendant of the historic Valjoux 72, it is equipped with a host of functions to keep you covered in just about any terrain. With double the depth rating of the original and fitted with a regatta countdown timer and a 360-degree rotating compass bezel, the Astrochron chronograph is a mighty robust and function-packed action watch.Brief bioOllech & Wajs was founded in 1956 by Albert Wajs and Joseph Ollech in Zurich and started life retailing watches from Omega and Breitling. The business expanded to specialise in the assembly of movements from ETA, Dubois Depraz and Valjoux insid

Here at Monochrome-Watches, we have a special attraction for Tudor. We may love for its serious and highly qualitative creations, Tudor ( ’s sister company) created some interesting, affordable, very well finished and mainly, really cool watches recently – such as the Heritage Black Bay Blue, the Heritage Ranger or the Heritage Chrono. Thus, there was no reason for us not to try to predict what could be the Tudor 2015 new models, the watches that Tudor could introduce at Baselworld 2015. We did it for this year, we did it for Tudor last year, and we are doing?it again now.Last year, just like we did for and Omega, we tried to guess the watches that Tudor could introduce at the Basel watch fair. We imagined a Black Bay with a black bezel and dial and we also imagined a Pelagos with blue dial and bezel. Tudor came at Baselworld with the?Heritage Black Bay equipped with a superb midnight blue bezel insert and a cleaner dial. We had?the right colour, we had the right watc

To promote the partnership, Oris is releasing a limited edition 39.5mm Aquis Date diver model with an aqua blue dial and a medallion on the caseback made from recycled PET plastic.Collecting trash from the oceanThe UN's environmental arm estimates that 8m tonnes of plastic reach the ocean every year and that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. The problem has really come to the fore when scientists discovered that much of the fish we eat contains toxic chemicals from the microplastics they have consumed. Pacific Garbage Screening has developed an innovative floating platform that will act much like a giant sieve collecting plastic waste from rivers, estuaries and the ocean.

Just Because: An Art Piece from Le Louvre on Your Wrist with Vacheron Constantin
Announced in 2019, the partnership between Vacheron Constantin and Le Louvre in Paris now goes a step further. In 2020, the Bid for the Louvre charity offered the opportunity for a buyer to customize a watch featuring one of the museum collection's artworks on its dial – with the proceeds of the auction bid going to the museum's solidarity projects. The unique piece watch born in the frame of this project has been unveiled. It reproduces on its enamel dial La Lutte pour l’Etendard de la Bataille d’Anghiari by Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. Initiated by this creation, the A Masterpiece On Your Wrist program now allows Vacheron Constantin customers to create unique-piece watches reproducing artworks from the Museum collections.The 2022 Vacheron Constantin x Le Louvre Metiers d'Art “Tribute to Great Civilisations” CollectionPresented in 2022, the Metiers d'Art Tribute to Great Civilisations collection was an opportunity to acquire Vacheron Constantin watc
