Linde Werdelin SpidoLite II Tech Green - Monochrome Watches
Linde Werdelin introduced the SpidoLite II Tech Green earlier this year at Baselworld and we got one of the two prototypes for an extensive review. The new SpidoLite II Tech Green is one of two new models that mark a special moment for Linde Werdelin as they have started using new materials. Like forged carbon and ALW, which stand for Alloy Linde Werdelin, being their own extremely light alloy. Besides the Tech Green, there’s the Tech Gold, that features a solid gold bezel and crown. The first thing you’ll notice when strapping the SpidoLite II Tech Green on the wrist, is that it is incredibly light. That also makes it into a very comfortable wear and I have to admit that the review period was over before I knew it and the watch had to be returned to the good folks of Linde Werdelin. So let’s take a closer look at the new forged carbon SpidoLite II Tech Green. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

First Look: Three New Colours for the Longines Flagship Heritage Moonphase
In 1957, the Flagship collection was advertised as a perfect alliance of technical skill and classic design. More than six decades later, Longines keeps the spirit accurate. The Longines Flagship Heritage line is part of the brand’s classic collection. It falls into the Heritage Classic category and is presented as an homage to the innovative spirit while combining the original aesthetic of Longines historical models with modern-time watchmaking technologies. Last year, we welcomed an elegant Flagship Heritage 38.5mm to the catalogue, featuring date and moon phase indications. This year, Longines expands the offer by adding three new dial colours to the model, each conveying a distinct character to the underlying timepiece.The Longines Flagship Heritage Moonphase features a 38.5mm stainless steel case with a closed back, measuring 12.4mm in thickness.

Introducing New Omega De Ville Prestige Models for 2020 (Price)
There’s far more to Omega than just its iconic sports watches, the well-known Speedmaster and Seamaster.

Hands-on Konstantin Chaykin Mars Conqueror MK3 (Price)
On February 18th 2021 history was made, when Nasa's Perseverance Rover landed in the Jezero Crater on the surface of Mars, the Red Planet. With this monumental feat of engineering, mankind is perhaps one step closer to interplanetary travel and colonization of Mars. It will most likely take decades for that to actually happen as interplanetary travel is extremely risky, time-consuming, and above all; expensive. But as we're gearing up for the next chapter in space exploration, and the development of commercial space flights, we need a suitable timing instrument of course. Konstantin Chaykin, Russian watchmaker extraordinaire, has developed a watch that keeps track of time both on Earth, and on Mars, and we've gotten our hands on it for a little while.It's not the first time we've covered this watch but we have had the chance to check it out in real life a couple of weeks ago. And since handling such a piece is a special occasion, especially with live events being few and far between du
