The New, 2018 models of the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur - Monochrome Watches
Last year, Ulysse Nardin introduced the?Marine Torpilleur (and later its sportier version, the?Marine Torpilleur Military), a well-thought, tasteful and well-priced take on the iconic Marine DNA of the brand. Classical but not too much, simplified but still with great horological content, well manufactured… It quickly proved to the be a winning formula, as it is the brand’s current bestseller. After the white and blue inaugural editions, it is time for the?Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur collection to grow, with new 2018 models.Marine Chronometers are certainly what best define the brand Ulysse Nardin. Since its inception in 1846, the brand?earned a reputation for producing exceptional deck chronometers. Such deck clocks were not there just for decorative purposes. They were crucial elements of navigation as, without modern devices such as navigation systems,?deck chronometers were the only way to calculate?longitude at sea.

A different perspective on the Bovet Monsieur Bovet Turquoise
In a world that seemingly goes mental from time to time, it's worth trying to keep a clear focus on things. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 Tiffany is out of reach for pretty much all of us, and prices for the Oyster Perpetual with Turquoise dials have been pushed to ridiculous heights. The watch world tends to sway back and forth between reference numbers, colours, materials, complications and whatever you can differentiate in a watch. With Turquoise blue (or Tiffany if you will) gearing up fast to become one of 2022's hottest colours, it made me wonder what alternatives are out there. One such watch is the recently introduced Bovet Monsieur Bovet Turquoise, a spectacular piece by the Swiss independent watchmaker.If we talk about colour, our Managing Editor has recently mentioned the shifting trend towards brighter, more frivolous colours. Along with various other watches, this Bovet follows that trend to the letter. It was presented a little while ago, even before the whole

Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph Bucherer Blue Editions (Specs & Price)
It was just a matter of time before the regular stainless steel version of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph would make its debut. We knew it after seeing the Bronze Carl Brashear model, we just didn’t know how and when… The wait is over, as the first steel edition of the Sixty-Five Chronograph is out, however, it isn’t just an Oris; it is also a Bucherer-themed watch. Meet the new (and cool) Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph Bucherer Blue Editions.The Divers Sixty-Five is Oris’ most successful collection of the last five years. An affordable, well-executed, good-looking diver with a fair amount of vintage elements, it has been praised by many – including us. What started as a stand-alone piece quickly became a full collection, with 36mm, 40mm, and 42mm models and with steel, ‘BiCo’ steel-and-bronze or full bronze versions. Last year saw the first introduction of a complication in this collection, with the limited edition Oris Carl Brashe

Hands-On Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years Of James Bond Steel
In 1962, on the 5th of October to be precise, the world discovered a character that will become a legend of the silver screen. Adapted from the 1958 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, Dr. No will start an emblematic series of 25 movies featuring a British secret agent working for MI6 under the codename 007, James Bond. 60 years later, the impact of the series is undeniable. James Bond isn't only a character, it's a lifestyle, gathering elements that have become as iconic as the man. Cars, of course, such as the DB5, but also watches. And if multiple brands have been involved in the earliest days, Omega has, since 1995 and GoldenEye, become the archetypal Bond Watch. And now, both parties celebrate 60 years of 007 movies, with the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years Of James Bond. And if it comes in steel and with new colours, the main topics are the comeback of the wave dial and the cool animated caseback… Some good GoldenEye vibes are in!60 Years of James Bond 007 Movies

Six Watches Inspired By Our Neighbouring Satellite, The Moon
The Moon, our beloved neighbouring satellite, has a huge influence on life on Earth; it slows down the rotational speed of our planet, affects the tides of our oceans and forms the foundation of our convention of time. As the Moon is an ever-present celestial body, completing one cycle around our planet in approximately 29.5 days, it’s not surprising that it turns up in many watches, whether in the shape of a moon phase indication or a more aesthetical form. The fact of the matter is that the six watches in this week’s Buying Guide all gaze up at the Moon and beyond for inspiration.?Louis Moinet cosmopolisLouis Moinet is no stranger to lunar or cosmic inspiration and often plays with the topic in its watches, most recently this Cosmopolis. Set in a rose gold Tempograph case with a domed sapphire crystal, the Cosmopolis has 12 different types of meteorites on its dial, including a piece of Moon rock. Ten meteorite specimens are spread around the dial, with an eleventh one in
