Introducing the Nomos Neomatik First Edition, including champagne dials & DUW 3001 Calibre (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Remember, a few days after Baselworld 2015, we showed a preview of the new Nomos Minimatik, a brand new design from the Glashutte-based manufacture but mainly a completely new movement, the in-house, ultra-slim, self-winding DUW 3001. We’ve been surprised to see such an achievement from a quite young brand (not so young anymore with?25 yeas of existence) and such a price (below €3,000)… What we didn’t know was?that this movement is now the starting point of a new collection, the Nomos Neomatik First Edition (based 5 watches from the brand: Tangente, Orion, Ludwig, Metro & Minimatik) that standardize the DUW 3001 and brings champagne dials.Reminder about the Calibre DUW 3001The Nomos Calibre DUW 3001 is a flat movement – a very flat one indeed. And it’s an fully in-house movement, with self-winding mechanism. It’s not the first manufacture?movement from the brand, as they already have in stock the?complicated automatic calibre Epsilon that can be

Hands-on: The New Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver Is Dressed To Impress
In traditional connotation, the dress watch is what you wear to an evening event, supposedly dressed to fit the occasion, in a suit or even a tuxedo. But what if your evening is about going out to bars, restaurants, and seaside clubs, where short sleeves and sandals are more welcome? You put on a watch that fits right in, a dress diver if you will, and the new editions of the Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver should be one of the few stylish choices to consider.Maurice Lacroix launched the Pontos S Diver series in 2013, the company recently revealed a new 2023 model which we introduced to you a couple of weeks ago. The updated release concerns three models with 300m water resistance, two in stainless steel and one limited edition of 500 pieces in bronze. All three come in compressor-style cases of 42 mm in diameter, with twin crowns and an inner rotating bezel. This dive watch design certainly stood the test of time, but as it’s always about the details, here they are. Ad

The new London Chronograph with a historical, restored Valjoux 88 movement from the 1950s belongs to Speake-Marin's Vintage collection. Speake-Marin might be based in Switzerland, but it likes to emphasise its British roots and its somewhat eccentric British styling. The latest model to join the Vintage collection is this London Chronograph Triple Date powered by a beautiful vintage Valjoux 88.Valjoux 88 CalibreFor many, the highlight of this watch is the Valjoux 88 calibre. Inspired by the Valjoux 23 base calibre, the manual-winding Valjoux 88 appeared in the 1950s. A very complete and sophisticated movement, the 17-jewel Valjoux 88 incorporated a column-wheel chronograph, three counters, date, day, month, moon phases and quick calendar corrections. The Valjoux 88 was fitted inside some of the finest watches from brands like Ulysse Nardin, Longines, Eberhard & Co., Paul Picot, Baume & Mercier and Universal Geneve. The original configuration displayed the 12-hour elapsed time c

Tudor Heritage Black Bay Campaign and Exclusive Making Of Video - Monochrome Watches
The last few years, Tudor has been heavily inspired by their own heritage and, logically, created an entire Heritage collection. Two years ago Tudor launched the Heritage Chrono that features the exact same looks as its vintage ancestor. Last year they surprised everyone with the Pelagos and the Heritage Black Bay. So two major dive watch releases in one year. The Pelagos, albeit not part of the Heritage collection, is the robust yet comfortable alternative to the Sea-Dweller. With a serious depth rating, hefty in size, but extremely wearable because it’s made of titanium – might be a nice tip for . The other dive watch is the Heritage Black Bay that is also a serious dive watch, and adds a dose of vintage looks that grab back on the Tudor Submariners from the 1950’s and 1960’s.
