Hands-On: The All-New Patek Philippe Cubitus Collection
It isn’t every day that Patek Philippe introduces an entirely new collection, especially a new range of elegant sports watches. But here it is, and it is called the Patek Philippe Cubitus. Three years after discontinuing the celebrated stainless steel blue Nautilus 5711?– or two years, if we include the farewell Olive Green and Tiffany editions – collectors around the globe eagerly awaited a replacement for the steel 5711A.? What they probably didn’t expect was that the Genevan family-owned brand would introduce an entire collection: the Cubitus range comprising the steel 5821A, the steel-and-gold 5821AR and the more complex Instantaneous Grand Date platinum 5822P. While the rumours on Instagram were already buzzing, including many opinions, we felt it’s best to go hands-on with the much anticipated Patek Philippe Cubitus Collection.For reference, as a reminder, the steel Nautilus 5711 olive greenBefore we dive into the details of this new Patek Philippe C

Hands-On - IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition Rodeo Drive IW503001 (Specs & Price)
2019 has been earmarked as?the year of Pilot’s Watches at IWC. ?This has not translated into a complete overhaul of the collection (something that we applaud, as we think it is important to?keep the classical models intact) but with the introduction of new models in sub-collections – mainly?TOP GUN and Spitfire. Apart from all the watches we have presented recently, there was an additional model that caught our attention. Based on the super-cool Black-and-Blue scheme introduced in 2015 on the time-only Big Pilot’s, this year IWC adds a new model: Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Rodeo Drive”.In early December 2015, IWC opened a new boutique in?Beverly Hills, on Rodeo Drive. To celebrate the opening, a limited edition model, the reference IW502003 Big Pilot's Watch Edition Boutique “Rodeo Drive”, was released. Limited to 250 pieces and available at the Rodeo Drive boutique and other IWC stores around the world, this watch intr

A closer look at the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Sandstone
Colour has become a key protagonist in the watch world these days. We've seen just about every colour under the sun splashed across dials, and many brands tout a simple change of dial colour as a novelty. Colour can be fun, but it can also get tiring. A vibrant purple dial might be tempting, but after a couple of years might start to look dated. After all, Pantone produces an official colour every year. This year the colour was Very Peri, a rather ugly shade of mauve that is described as a symbol of the global zeitgeist of the moment and the transition we are going through. A tall order for any colour, but it is an example of how colours are associated with periods of time. Like almost every watch brand, Omega has turned its hand to the paint box and relied on colourful dials to change the mood of its Seamaster Aqua Terra, including a mandatory and very handsome green model in 2020. Released earlier this year, the Aqua Terra turned up with nine different colour options for the dial and

Hands-On with the Tudor Heritage Ranger ref. 79910 - Live photos and price - Monochrome-Watches
We already told you that Tudor has been looking at their own past, for inspiration. In the past years they have introduced quite a few vintage-inspired models, and this year they surprised us with another version of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay, now in ‘Midnight Blue’. For too long, Tudor has been the little brother of ‘the Crown’, searching for their own identity. When we look at their novelties of the past years they have found their own identity and their latest model only confirms that. Here’s the new Tudor Heritage Ranger ref. 79910. For a few years now, the Rose (Tudor’s historic emblem) has revealed some very iconic ‘toolwatches’, all linked to the history of the brand. Until now there was a balance between new models and the concept of revival.?With the Heritage Black Bay for instance, we had a mix-and-match from historic elements. With their latest offering, the new Heritage Ranger, that is changed because the new Heritage Ranger

Introducing: The Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT
The model Tudor fans have been clamouring for finally materialises with the release of the Black Bay 58 GMT. Although the Black Bay collection is no stranger to dual time zone models – the first Tudor Black Bay GMT was introduced in 2018 – this is the first time the more compact 39mm Black Bay 58 earns its wings. Decked with an appealing neo-vintage flair, the two-toned burgundy and black bezel and gilt touches evoke the golden age of air travel in the 1950s when travelling across time zones was the ultimate sign of a glamorous lifestyle.Following the launch of the popular 41mm Black Bay series in 2012, Tudor introduced the Black Bay 58 in 2018. Appealing to a wider audience with its more compact 39mm diameter, the Black Bay 58 was closer in size to its forefather, the 37mm Tudor Submariner 7924 of 1958, the brand's first 200m water-resistant diver's watch, also known as the Big Crown'.
