Value Proposition - Delma Continental Chronograph (Hands-On, Price)
Throwback chronographs are everywhere these days with pricing all over the map. At the upper end, there are truly iconic pieces like the Breguet Type XX and Daytona. A wide variety of brands offer more affordable options for us common folk - the Hamilton Intra-Matic Automatic Chronograph and Longines Avigation BigEye come to mind. Delma recently introduced an intriguing, vintage-inspired chronograph that harkens back to its 1960's bicompax models.

Review (Affordable) - Farer Aqua Compressor Endeavour (Specs & Price)
Dive watches are a dime a dozen these days. You can go high-end with a Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 or Omega Seamaster, or find something more affordable like a Seiko Diver's Automatic or Hamilton Khaki King Scuba. Whether spending USD 10,000 or USD 500, it's not hard to find a stylish and capable dive watch from a plethora of established brands. Ever since I got my first serious mechanical watch in the 1990s, an RGM Model 107-P Pilot, I've gravitated toward smaller, lesser-known companies. Dive watches have often been my style of choice, so I'm excited to review a Super Compressor from a newcomer that has already generated some waves: the Farer Aqua Compressor Endeavour.BackgroundFarer Universal, a British-based company manufacturing genuine Swiss watches via Roventa-Henex, has a handful of lines that have generated a lot of interest with their original, slightly quirky retro aesthetics. Bold colors and textures, multi-layered dials and signature bronze crowns have helped them sta

Interesting deal for Omega Speedmaster collectors - the Moonfire book - Monochrome Watches
Moonfire is not a book about watches. However since it’s about the historic Apollo 11 Moon landing, i think most Omega Speedmaster collectors will find it an interesting book. Especially now the price dropped drastically. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 Moon landing, Taschen Publishers and Norman Mailer joined forces to create a unique tribute to the defining scientific mission of our time. In 1969 Norman Mailer wrote about the Apollo mission for Life magazine. Moonfire is loaded with beautiful photos from the archives of NASA, Life magazine and many other resources.So why am i writing about this book? I think it’s an interesting book for fans of the Omega Speedmaster. However when the book was published, last year, it was limited to 1969 copies and the price was simply outrageous. The first 1957 numbered copies came in a white resin box with a convex plexiglas window accompanied by a framed photo that was signed by Buzz Aldrin, one of the astr
