Taking a closer look at 6 recently launched red-hot watches
We are all very well aware of the fact green seems all the rage over the past few years. It is a trend that really gained momentum three, maybe four years back. Sure, prior to that we saw green dials as well, but nowadays they are everywhere. We've also noticed a shift towards other colours, something we've addressed before (here and here) and we welcome very much. One of the colours seemingly popping up and getting some love is red. The fiery tone can be seen on a number of new watches, with six of them listed in today’s Buying Guide.TAG Heuer Carrera Red Dial EditionOne of the most recent crimson red wristwatches to be released is the TAG Heuer Carrera Red Dial Limited Edition. And although we haven't seen it in person, the sunray brushed red dial sure seems to pop against the steel case. Being a Carrera, it features all the hallmarks that make this such a classic. It comes in a steel case measuring 39mm across and about 15mm in height (due to the box-shaped sapphire crystal).

Hands-On - IWC Pilot Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Ceratanium IW388106
This year is the year of the TOP GUN family at IWC Schaffhausen. A concept born in 2007 with the?Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph IW379901 Black Ceramic, the TOP GUN range is all about its technical look, stealthy design and use of innovative materials for the case. For Watches & Wonders 2022, in addition to the coloured ceramic models – white Lake Tahoe and green Woodland – IWC is bringing a little brother to one of our all-time favourite models, the Double Chronograph TOP GUN Ceratanium. Smaller, slightly simpler but sharing the same ultra-cool design, here’s the new IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 TOP GUN Ceratanium IW388106.?As an ode to one of the most famous fighter schools in the world – we’ve all seen the movie, and the second instalment is due in a couple of months – IWC created a sub-range in its pilot’s watch collection that is as powerful and technical as the Miramar-based United States Navy Fighter Weapons School.

Introducing: The White Edition of the accessible Tissot Heritage 1938 COSC
Released last year, the Tissot Heritage 1938 COSC is a watch that’s hard to not objectively find brilliant. Combining a nice retro design with modern specs and a truly fair price, it even comes equipped with a chronometer-certified movement – making it one of the most accessible Swiss chronometers on the market. This handsome, affordable vintage-styled watch was already available in two appealing editions – salmon and black-gilt – but Tissot now adds a third version to the collection, with a fresh, classic silvery-white dial and blue accents.?Before we take a closer look at this new edition of the Heritage 1938 COSC, let’s quickly come back to the topic of the chronometer. A chronometer, not to be confused with a chronograph, is a watch that has been officially tested for its precision by an independent and vetted institute. Multiple organisations have the authority to certify movements and watches, the most famous of them all being the COSC or Contr?le Of

We first covered the fledgling brand in 2020 when it announced its partnership with movement manufacture Kenissi (jointly owned by Chanel and Tudor/ ) and became acquainted with the three main collections: Adventure, Freedom and Independence. As their names indicate, the collections are sport-oriented watches with signature features like the customisable plate on the case flank. Following on the heels of last year's Independence 20 model that sold out in days, Norqain introduces two new Independence models in limited editions: the Independence 21 with a blue dial (200 pieces) and the Independence 21 DLC Skeleton model (100 pieces), the brand's first skeletonised movement.Independence 21 Scratched Blue DialLately, many brands have been pushing the urban sports watch' category.
