Yellow Gold comes back - Hands-on with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26320 Yellow Gold (live pics & price) - Monochrome Watches
Associating gold to an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has always been kind of strange to us, as, when launched in 1972, this luxury sports watch was only available in stainless steel (and this choice of material was clearly part of the base concept). However, with the demand for gold in certain regions and for specific clients, the Royal Oak has been updated with the precious material in almost all its iterations. Recently, the collection was only featuring watches in rose gold, replacing yellow gold since approximately 7 or 8 years. For the SIHH 2016, the Le Brassus-based manufacture made a surprising move by bringing yellow gold back – well, a come back… at least for sports watches and for the Royal Oak. Let’s see if the old-but-new recipe works on the?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26320 Yellow Gold.First let’s go over the watch. The?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26320 is a known watch, introduced at the SIHH, back in 2012, as an update of the older

TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition 2020
It wasn't just Ayrton Senna's perseverance or determination for speed and exhilaration on the racetrack that got him noticed. For 15 years and right up until his untimely death, a flash of electric yellow on the helmet of the Brazilian Formula 1 Championship winner could be caught sight of as he lapped the track with a sense of grace and confidence. A nod to one of Brazil's national colours, but also a colour symbolising aggression, youth and movement, the shot of yellow referenced in the two new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Senna Special Edition 2020 models is a poignant reminder of the indelible mark Senna left on the motorsport industry.TAG Heuer draws upon its contribution to the sporting world with two more special edition chronographs dedicated to the legacy of the brand's longstanding partner and ambassador: a 44mm automatic and a slightly smaller 43mm quartz-powered model. Both iterations from the Formula 1 collection feature a fixed black ceramic bezel with a tachymeter scale that meas

H. Moser & Cie. Heritage Bucherer Blue Editions (Specs & Price)
Bucherer certainly has some impact on brands and is powerful enough to have them creating some purpose-designed watches, exclusive to its stores. These watches are named the “Bucherer Blue Editions” and many watch brands already participated (Tudor, IWC, Blancpain and?more). All of them share a unique colour for the dial; blue. While H. Moser already participated in this concept, this time the brand decided to go in a different direction. Not only these 2 new “Moser x?Bucherer Blue Editions” aren’t blue (at least for?their dials) but Moser also introduces a brand new watch, totally different from the brand’s previous creations; the?Heritage – a surprising retro-styled pilot’s watch.The Moser Endeavour Diamonds Bucherer Blue EditionsBefore we move to the watch that will mostly draw your attention, it is to be noted that H. Moser & Cie. has created another piece for Bucherer, a ladies-oriented version of the?Endeavour, with a 38mm stain

Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Chronograph (Specs & Price)
We’ve said it already and we’ll probably say it again, but Longines is on fire when it comes to its “Heritage” collection, with many handsome, highly desirable vintage-inspired watches launched in the past couple of years. Think about the Heritage Classic Sector Dial, the recently revamped Avigation Watch Type A-7 1935 or the Heritage Military RAF. Among these modern models inspired by historical pieces, there was one that really caught our attention: the Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Chronograph. And today we give it some wrist time.?Presented earlier this year along with a small seconds version, the Longines Heritage Classic Tuxedo Chronograph is, as you would have guessed, a modern re-edition of a historical Longines watch. Founded in 1832, Longines is one of the oldest brands of the Swiss watch industry still active today. As such, you can imagine that its heritage collection is big and constitutes an immense source of inspiration for today's designers. T
