HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC - Full Review with live photos, specs and price - Monochrome-Watches
In 2012, when introducing the first of the Hydro-Mechanical watches, the H1, the young and mad brand called HYT created quite a mess in the watchmaking world. Those guys get the strange idea to equipped their creations with the worst enemy of a watch: liquid. We tested this watch and we felt in love with it, just because of the rationality and serious of the concept. Back in 2013, only 1 year after their first attempt, HYT brought an even more exciting successor in the name of the HYT H2 Titanium Black DLC and we've been testing it again.The HYT H1 Red2 we handled for a few weeks gave us some clues on how serious this concept was. When this watch came to the world, we felt first a great excitement but also some scepticism. How come a brand just registered would be able to achieve such a complex idea. Of course, the HYT team is composed of watchmakers and talented engineers (with their sister company Preciflex). But even Ad - Scroll to continue with article

First Look: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 43mm
While there have been time-and-date and triple calendar versions since the mid-1990s, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore or ROO, has always been primarily known as a chronograph watch. It was actually designed as such when it launched in 1993. In modern days, non-chronograph ROO watches were mostly known as the Diver version, which was recently revamped. Well, things have changed because now there’s a new time-and-date ROO, the sleekest to date, with the new Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding 43mm.What we’re looking at here is one of the rare Royal Oak Offshore models that does not feature a chronograph. In the current collection, most models are fitted with a chronograph complication (and other additional features), and only a handful of references have a simple time-only display. And it mostly has to do with the bold, sporty Royal Oak Offshore Diver, a 300m water-resistant watch with a 42mm case. It is now joined by another time-and-date model, this time even cleaner and

IWC Portofino Chronograph 39 with manufacture movement
The Portofino has been IWC's elegant round watch proponent since 1984. Clean, sober dials and a range of case sizes have made the Portofino an attractive unisex option, while its classical 1950s looks have earned the collection the much sought-after distinction of being timeless. Since its introduction, the Portofino Chronograph brings a dash of vintage sportiness to the collection with its pronounced piston-style pushers and balanced, uncluttered dial. The latest IWC Portofino Chronograph 39, which could easily be confused with the models we covered last year, has been treated to an upgrade and now comes with a manufacture movement, a sapphire caseback and a quick-change strap system for additional versatility, all without this reference?IW391502?losing an iota of its elegant, sporty personality.ModificationsRevisited over the years, recent manifestations of the Portofino Chronograph include the downsized, more compact 39mm (from 42mm) version of the two-register chronograph in 2021 w

Seiko 5 Sports Style GMT, Best Summer Watch - Opinion Review
Even though looking out the window of my office today in France the weather isn’t the most engaging, it seems that summer is around the corner. Good weather, good vibes, good times, and the moment when we tend to spend more time outside than inside. For that reason, watch lovers also tend to have the concept of a summer watch in mind. A timepiece that can follow them during their summer adventures?and can basically do-it-all. Earlier today, Seiko released the Seiko 5 Sports Style GMT, a new range that we’ve already introduced in this article. And when I had the SSK001K1, SSK003K1 and SSK005K1 in my hands, it immediately made me think: could this be the best summer watch you can get now? Answer to come!Summer… A time for outdoor activities. Forget your cup of tea and your blanket in front of the fireplace. It’s time to go out. Enjoy the sun, burn some energy… In short, enjoy the good life. Summer means many things. It’s the time for holidays, that man
