Omega Seamaster Diver 300M "James Bond" Numbered Edition
About a year ago, Omega revealed its first watch dedicated to the upcoming James Bond 007 movie No Time to Die. This model, inspired by the secret agent but not worn in the movie, has been followed by the actual film watch, a titanium Seamaster Diver 300M that we reviewed here. And even though the movie has been delayed for obvious reasons, the Biel-based brand still plays on the 007 theme and today introduces a luxurious, numbered edition of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M “James Bond”.Visually, this new edition does not apparently feature many differences. Same case shape, same spiral-inspired dial, same allusions to Bond… Yet, there is more than meets the eye and this new version is all about high-end materials. The case retains the classic Seamaster Diver 300M shape, with a 42mm diameter, its signature helium escape valve at 10 o’clock and the typically Omega twisted lugs. Yet, it is now made of platinum-gold, which is brushed and polished. It also features a

Indeed, there’s a new IWC Portugieser Chronograph, under the reference 3716, a watch that replaces a 22-year-old icon, the classic Portugieser Chronograph 3714. And looking at the opening photo of this article, you could have thought we photographed the same watch twice… but we didn’t. And let’s be honest, this is great news. No changes for the sake of change, just updating what needed to be updated. Let’s have a look at the new IW3716 versus its predecessor, the IW3714.Is this the new IW3716 or the old IW3714…? Hard to tell!Reminder: why the IWC Portugieser Chronograph mattersTogether with the pilot’s watch collection, the Portugieser is certainly the most famous IWC range. Classic, iconic, superbly designed, slightly dressy without being too formal – it&

The Classic Ingenieur movement did go through various cycles. It started with a calibre 852, then a 853(1) and last-but-not-least, the cal. 854(1). The latter has remained a engineering highligh
