Breitling Navitimer 1 Automatic 38 - Baselworld 2018 (specs & price)
We already knew that some changes were about to come at Breitling. We’ve seen it with the introduction of the Navitimer 8, a brand new collection that we explained to you in details. This new strategy will be deployed over all the collections and that includes the iconic Navitimer 1. Here is the first (and drastic) evolution, with the?Navitimer 1 Automatic 38. It is small and mainly, it is a 3-hander…This is a true surprise: the iconic and historic Navitimer – now named Navitimer 1, in opposition to the Navitimer 8 – will be available without chronograph. Don’t be fooled though, it is not the first time that the name Navitimer is printed on the dial of a 3-hand watch, however this is not widely known. During the 1950s, the brand introduced the Ref. 66, an elegant dress watch with 3 hands and date – yet, without the legendary design of the Navi. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
Introducing Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 Tiffany 170th Anniversary
This just in… Yes, you’ve read correctly, there’s a new edition of the Nautilus coming. And while we thought the Olive Green version to be the last of the 5711 series – and that’s what was claimed back when it was introduced – The New York Times just broke the news that there’s actually a sequel to the last of the Nautilus 5711, a watch that will be made in extremely low quantities – even less than the Olive Green model – a watch made to celebrate an important anniversary of one of their oldest partners, and a watch that is not just about the double-signed dial, but also about an unprecedented dial colour. And yes, this is the new Baby-Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 for Tiffany’s 170th Anniversary. And it’s not fake news.The 5711 is, by far, the most coveted timepiece on the market today – at least when it comes to mainstream luxury brands. Recently, the brand’s president, Mr Stern, announced the en
Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 39mm 79030N - Baselworld 2018 (Specs & Price)
The retro revival is in full swing and the late 1950s are a recurring source of inspiration. Even Vacheron Constantin played the vintage card with a whole new collection –?the FIFTYSIX?– designed to capture the mood of the fifties and appeal to a hipper client base. Tudor's latest Black Bay model shrinks in size to 39mm to emulate the brand's first dive watches and is kitted out with a new in-house movement.Diving into the pastThe Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 79030N revisits Tudor's rugged dive companions produced during the 1950s, which were resistant to depths of 200 metres and would become renowned for their angular snowflake' hour hand, the red triangle on the rotating bezel and the large winding crown.

Tudor FastRider Chrono - hands-on with live photos & price - Monochrome-Watches
This year, at Baselworld 2015, Tudor is not only introducing the (our) Tudor Pelagos with a blue dial and the Tudor North Flag, both with the new in-house movement. They also had a chronograph in the vaults, but not one from the Heritage Collection, like the Heritage Chrono Blue. Instead they are coming with a modern, cool and young adults oriented timepiece, the?Tudor FastRider Chrono.The FastRider isn’t properly a novelty, as a previous one was already in the collection since 2011. It was a chrono in stainless steel, with a stainless steel bezel (engraved with a tachymeter scale) and available with a white or red stripped dial. This watch was the result of a collaboration with Ducati (the motorbike brand) and was somehow quite obsolete in the actual range of cool Tudor watches. The new one may have several new features, it keeps?the Ducati partnership. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

At the end of last week, we’ve already shared with you our first hands-on sessions with two of the latest updates to the ultra-successful Tissot PRX collection, the Ice Blue dial on the Powermatic 80 model and the long-expected addition of integrated rubber straps to the collection. That wasn’t all we’ve seen, as we have more to share. Again, it’s all about a first look, a quick hands-on session to show you the watch in the metal. Based on the already existing PRX Automatic Chronograph, available so far in silver with black counters and gold-coloured accents, or in blue with reverse panda style, Tissot now adds a third version with a silver dial and blue panda layout. And here’s what it looks like in the wild.?When released last year, the?chronograph was the first and major update to the already well-established PRX collection. Coming next to the 35mm quartz models and the 40mm quartz and Powermatic 80 editions, the Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph is by f
