Introducing the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Autumn, with a new 5N red gold dial (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Saying that the?Laurent Ferrier Galet Square was?welcomed and?that it is a superb achievement is kind of an understatement. This watch is simply superb. When launched, it was the entry-level proposition of the brand, with a (slightly) sportier look, a stainless steel case, a more?reasonable?price but still with the same true elegance and a perfectly finished, innovative movement. As we’re now in the middle of October, Laurent Ferrier has just decided to add a new iteration to the collection (that you can see in the flesh here) with a brushed red gold dial. Here is the?Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Autumn.Until now, the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square was only available in 2 main editions, with a stainless steel case. The first one was a classic from the small independent manufacture, with a vertically brushed blue dial and usual indexes. The other one was a sort of cleaned edition, with a more vintage feeling, due to a warm silver / light gold dial, a natural leather strap and a very

Longines Heritage 1935, both the Historic Czech Pilot Watch and the New Version Explained - Monochrome Watches
If you look at the last few Longines we've written?about, you’ll immediately notice that they are all part of the Heritage collection, the tribute watches?to Longines’ great history. For instance, we’ve presented you with the Heritage Diver,?honoring?1970’s diving watches; the Conquest Heritage, a faithful re-issue of the original 1954 Conquest; and?the Heritage 1973?that recalls the iconic?1970’s racing chronographs. At Baselworld 2014, Longines introduced?another interpretation of a historic watch, a tribute to 1935?Czechoslovakian pilot watches, the Heritage 1935. Let’s look back at the Longines Czech Pilot and compare it with the new Longines Heritage 1935.?The historical Longines Czech Aviator’s watchIIn between the two World Wars, plenty of watch brands supplied timekeeping tools to military forces. These included Glashutte Original or A.Lange & Sohne and their now famous, and overly copied,?B-Uhr Flieger watches. Longines also suppli

Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue (Specs & Price)
Tudor is no stranger to dive watches with iconic pieces going back decades. Validated by both the French Navy (Marine Nationale) and US Navy (among other world militaries), Tudor Submariners have a well-earned reputation. Other than a minor inscription, military Tudors are almost always the same as civilian counterparts, which is a testament to quality and robustness. Following the wildly popular 41mm Black Bay series from 2012, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight debuted in 2018 with a smaller case and new movement. Originally clad in black and gold, the latest BB58 Navy Blue has a fresher, monochromatic vibe with a blue dial and bezel. ?Family picture… From left to right, the 1st generation BB 41mm (ETA movement), the BB58 Navy Blue and the Black/Gold BB58Blue is BlackAlthough the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue is simply a new colour variant, it really changes the personality. Blue is by no means a new colour for Tudor as models like the Pelagos Blue and 41mm Black Bay Midnight Bl

The Oris Sun Wukong Artist Edition Enamel Aquis Dive Watch
Wait… What? An Oris Aquis dive watch with a cloisonne? enamel white gold dial, priced at EUR 23,500… Yes, that thing, as surprising as it may sound, is real. And yes, it is quite a departure from the usual price range and utilitarian style of the brand. In short, it is quite an unexpected release by Oris, to say the least, and quite a bold move from the brand, admittedly. So let’s have a look at the new Oris Sun Wukong Artist Edition to understand a bit more what is it all about.?The base for this new, very exclusive Sun Wukong Artist Edition is the classic, all-rounder dive watch of the brand, the Aquis Date, and to be more precise the 41.50mm edition with in-house Calibre 400 that has been introduced in mid-2021. So what is different between the EUR 3,000 steel edition with a classic blue dial and the totally unexpected EUR 23,500 edition we’re looking at in this article? Ad - Scroll to continue with article

Chronoswiss Regulator Classic Date (Specs & Price)
It's not easy designing a watch that really differentiates itself from the crowd. Obviously, there's more to a watch than an outward appearance and I'm generalizing, but I've always liked brands that have a distinct style that's easily recognized. You know a Panerai, or Roger Dubuis when you see it, for example. You can also spot a Chronoswiss in the crowd with its knurled case and oversized onion crown, and a style it arguably does best - the regulator. I recently wrote a hands-on article about the Flying Grand Regulator Skeleton Limited Edition, which was an almost futuristic take on the regulator setup. Its Regulator Classic Date is a more subdued and traditional piece, yet maintains the Chronoswiss DNA throughout. Let's take a closer look at the silver edition of a future classic.BACKGROUNDChronoswiss is a surprisingly young watch company and has been on the scene for just 35 years. It produced its first regulator piece in 1987 and is probably best known for this style. The regul
