Buying Guide - 5 Cool Watches with Blue Dial Recently Launched
Forest, olive, khaki, pine, emerald… Green is everywhere and is, without a doubt, the main trend for 2020 and 2021. But as with all trends, they come and go. And, let’s be honest, while there can be some very cool green models – I see you 5711 Olive Green?and 15202 Smoked Green – this colour isn’t the easiest to wear on a daily basis and to match with a classic outfit. And, it will most probably become outdated in a few. So, for those who still want a bit of colour and more originality than classic black or silver dial, yet with a timeless look that won’t become obsolete, blue remains the best option possible.

Hands-On - Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Norton Motorcycles Edition (Specs & Price)
Breitling announced its partnership with British motorcycle maker Norton in 2018 and the fruit of this collaboration is a double whammy treat for bikers and watch lovers alike. Released in tandem during Baselworld 2019, Breitling unveiled its Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Norton Edition watch while Norton revved up the 961cc engine of its Norton Commando 961 Cafe Racer MKII Breitling Limited Edition Motorcycle. We were lucky enough to have some hands-on time with the watch seriously hoping this might lead to a seats-on session with the bike!BackgroundSince he took over Breitling in 2017, Georges Kern has been keen on stretching the confines of the brand beyond the traditional aviation associations. He also realised the potential of dipping into archive material (the controversial Navitimer 8 based on the long-extinct Bretiling Huit Department of Aviation Instruments), reinterpreting classics (Navitimer 1 – without a chronograph!) and tapping into the current rage for retro with fait

The new Patek Philippe Nautilus 5811/1G replaces the 5711.
The news that watch aficionados and the whole industry were expecting is finally out. A couple of years ago, the rumour that the 5711, the time-and-date Nautilus, one of the most sought-after watches and an icon of high-end horology and style, would be discontinued started to spread. Not long after, the rumour was confirmed by Patek Philippe, with several continuation models to be released regardless (with a green dial?or Tiffany blue). The 5711 now has a successor available exclusively in gold and with several updates: meet the new Patek Philippe Nautilus 5811/1G-001.First and foremost, the new time-and-date Patek Philippe Nautilus, the reference 5811/1G-001, looks a lot like the 5711 but comes with several updates.
