Hands-On A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual Limited Blue 2021
When A. Lange & Sohne unveiled the Langematik Perpetual in 2001, it was the first mechanical wristwatch to combine a perpetual calendar with Lange's signature outsize date. Revisited in different case materials over the years, the 20th anniversary of the Langematik Perpetual is celebrated with two models, one in white gold the other in pink gold, both with a striking blue dial and limited to 50 pieces each.Just seven years after Lange's resuscitation in 1994, the Saxon watchmaker launched one of the finest perpetual calendars on the scene today. Flexing its horological muscles, Lange's perpetual calendar stands out from other calendar watches with its patented zero-reset mechanism and corrector to advance all the calendar displays simultaneously. The perpetual calendar functions account for the different durations of the months, including leap years and, once the watch is correctly set and kept ticking, you won't have to adjust the date display until 2100.

Hands-On - Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer Steel and Sedna Gold Models (Specs & Price)
While we usually associate Omega with sporty watches – with complications that range from the date to the annual calendar or the chronograph, except that one central tourbillon watch – complicated watches are not really part of the Biel-based brand’s portfolio. This was until 2017, when Omega introduced, as an exclusive limited edition in platinum, a Worldtimer version of the Seamaster Aqua Terra. This complex watch now returns to regular production, with multiple editions in steel or in Sedna gold.In all fairness, the first platinum, 87-piece limited edition of the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer really came as a surprise. This wasn’t at all what we expected to see from Omega. In addition to that, it has to be said that the execution was certainly a bit busy and very high-end – platinum case, gold markers and hands, hand-crafted enamel world map, textured dial and the usual complex display of a world timer watch… All in all, this watch was a b
IWC Pilots Watch Chronograph Top Gun Edition Mojave Desert IW389103 - Review & Price
Feeling bold today? Good. Now meet a pilot's watch with camouflaged hands, a day-date indication, a ceramic case and a normal-sized crown. Except for the triangle at 12 o'clock (and yes… a few other things to be honest), there's not much that makes this an actual Pilot's watch. But is it any good? We took IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph Top Gun Edition Mojave Desert and wore it on the wrist to let you know!The one consistent activity in the history of IWC is the company's mission to build precise, reliable and functional mechanical watches for current and future generations. Now, that is a very sensible thing. These values are best shown in the Mark XVIII Pilot's watches and the Portugieser collection. Clean designs, functional complications and easily loveable for everyone - watch connoisseurs and novices alike. Ad - Scroll to continue with article So where

Introducing The Nivada F77 Automatic Steel Sports Watch With Integrated Bracelet
There is nothing as hype these days as the 1970s steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet. To make it short, they are everywhere and at every imaginable price point. The style is so popular that even high-end indie watchmakers and micro-brands are jumping on the bandwagon. Can we blame them? Surely not, as it’s just a response to what the market wants. Looking at the accessible segment, the strongest contender with a Swiss movement and one of the few go-to options is the Tissot PRX collection. Except that there is a new competitor on the block: welcome the F77 Automatic from Nivada Grenchen.As with most of the previous releases of Nivada, this new watch doesn’t come out of the blue. It is actually a revival of a vintage watch that was produced in 1977, with all the codes you would expect from a watch designed after the shockwave produced by the Royal Oak. The original model, which you can see below, certainly displayed references to existing watches – an octagon
