SIHH 2019 - IWC Pilots Watch Automatic TOP GUN IW326901 (Specs & Price)
If you've seen the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, you're familiar with the Naval Fighter Weapons School for elite pilots, established in Southern California in 1969. IWC has paid homage to?Top Gun since 2007 and is releasing its latest three-hand automatic in the series with a new movement and a matte black ceramic case. Launched simultaneously with the new Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire, the TOP GUN model also shares the Spitfire's IWC 32110 automatic calibre, although the case is 2mm larger than the 39mm Spitfire and has a more modern aesthetic.The dial is reminiscent of IWC's Big Pilot's watch series, and the black ceramic case is stealthy and contemporary. Built with pilots in mind, the matte finish prevents reflections and ceramic is more durable than steel, while the black dial with large Arabic numerals offers maximum legibility. It's fair to say that the majority of buyers will never be ejected from a fighter jet, but the Pilot's Watch Automatic TOP GUN is also at home in the driv

First Look: The 38mm Hublot Big Bang Integrated Time Only Collection
Following decades of Big Bang domination in extravagant, angular cases in all shapes and sizes, in 2020, Hublot introduced its first Big Bang with a fully integrated metal bracelet. Known as the Big Bang Integrated because of its integrated bracelet and materials, we’ve already seen?40mm cases with openworked dials, and time-and-date displays. Going back to its roots, the latest Big Bang Integrated sub-collection debuts in a more compact, unisex 38mm case with closed dials, represented by six models in titanium, King Gold and ceramic.Described by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe as a “classic”, the Big Bang Integrated 38mm is closer in spirit to the Classic Fusion forefather that put Hublot on the map in the mid-1980s and inspired the birth of the Big Bang in 2005. While its dimensions are more compact, the Big Bang Integrated is still a Big Bang through and through with its resilient 100m water-resistant case, its rubber composite insert sandwiched between the case middle and b

Introducing: The Mido Multifort 8 Two Crowns, a Slim, Integrated-Style Sports Watch
For many years, Mido has been one of the discreet, accessible brands of the Swatch Group, releasing very decent watches but possibly lacking some wow effect. Things changed recently, as the brand seems to have found its own pace. Think, for instance, about the cool Decompression Timer 1961, the Multifort TV Big Date as an accessible take on the sporty-chic steel watch, or the compact, slim and attractive Ocean Star 39. Today, the brand is at it again, unveiling the Multifort 8 Two Crowns, a watch that plays on the classic codes of the integrated-style sports watch with shaped bezel, but in a compact, slim case with compelling specs.?Mido is a venerable Swiss brand born in 1918, which made a name for itself in the 1930s with its Multifort design, the first Mido to use a self-winding movement, but also a watch with superior shock-resistance, anti-magnetism and water-resistance. In recent years, the brand was probably underestimated and its potential was overlooked. But things changed in

Introducing: The Oris Aquis Date 41.5mm "Taste of Summer" Capsule
Summer is in the air, and the holiday season is just around the corner. As a brand that has never been shy of colour, Oris proposes two watermelon-coloured models for its versatile Aquis Date 41.5mm dive watch. Perfect for outdoor activities but smart enough to wear daily, the Aquis Date collection was recently refreshed. The design tweaks applied to the Aquis Date collection introduced at Watches & Wonders earlier this year result in a more refined profile and a more comfortable wearer experience.While blue, green and black dials have been the predominant colours of the brand's Aquis Date collection since its launch in 2011, Oris stretched the colour palette with an eye-popping cherry red version in 2021 along with a multi-coloured mottled upcycled plastic dial. A year later, the Aquis Date 36.5mm appeared with colourful mother-of-pearl dials in tandem with the Cotton Candy Divers Sixty-Five bronze trilogy with shocking pink, green and baby blue dials.
