Hands-On - The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum (Price)
Omega's Speedmaster Moonwatch has exerted its gravitational pull on earthlings for over half a century converting Omega's robust chronograph into a living icon. For countless fans of the Speedmaster, Omega's announcement in 2019 that it would be resuscitating its legendary Calibre 321 was as exciting as the Moon landing. The first watch graced with the revered hand-wound column-wheel chronograph was the high-end Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum followed a year later by a steel model, the Moonwatch Calibre 321?(which we named “The Ultimate Speedmaster”). Let's take a closer look at this heavyweight deluxe version with its onyx dial and lunar meteorite counters.What came first, the chicken or the egg?Before the Speedmaster even existed, its heart was already beating at Lemania's manufacture in Villeret. Renowned for its outstanding watch movements, in particular chronographs, stopwatches and repeaters, Lemania once provided chronograph calibres for the big names in watchmak
Hands-on Review: Vacheron Constantin Overseas World Time - Live Photos, Specs and Price - Monochrome Watches
There’s something about luxury sports watches. For me this category of watches -if we can call it a category- is the most versatile, useful and comfortable around, and they are probably the best every-day watches that you can find. Wear?’em under the shower, in the swimming pool or sea, they are good when playing with the kids, or when you’re working out in the gym. They even look great with suit & tie behind your desk or in the board room. From my perspective this category of watches could use some more competition, so I was happy to see Vacheron Constantin launch a completely redesigned Overseas collection earlier this year. During a recent event I had plenty?of time to see and wear the new Overseas, Overseas Chronograph and the Overseas World Time. Today we’re going to show you the latter, a comfortable worldtimer, that’s as versatile as it gets. Here’s the Vacheron Constantin Overseas World Time.Usually we include an overview on the brandR
Weekly Watch Photo - IWC Ingenieur Automatic AMG Black Series - Pre-SIHH 2013 - Monochrome Watches
In this week’s Weekly Watch Photo we show you a so-called mood-photo of the new IWC Ingenieur Automatic AMG Series. Like the Ingenieur Automatic 40mm that we showed you yesterday, this is another new version for the fully revamped Ingenieur collection and features a rounded ceramic bezel.Because IWC hasn’t officially released the news, we’re looking at the IWC in-house forum for some facts. It looks like the AMG Black Series will measure 46 mm in diameter, 14.5 mm in height and feature the IWC in-house caliber 80110. Ad - Scroll to continue with article To be honest, I hoped the AMG Black Series would measure 44 mm in diameter, like the Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth. Also the thickness of 14.5 mm is not something that I applaud. However visually it looks like a real treat, even offering a view on the movement through a sapphire crystal in t
Omega Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm
Although it doesn’t have the cachet of a Speedmaster with its legendary Moon landing or a Seamaster worn in an action-packed James Bond episode, the Omega Constellation is one of the brand’s oldest and most enduring collections that started life in 1952 as a precision chronometer wristwatch. Revisited over the years, the transformation that most influenced the contemporary look of the Constellation took place in 1982, the year the watch got its claws. Following the update to the 29mm Constellation Manhattan ladies’ model?in 2019, the gent’s 39mm and 41mm were also upgraded in 2020 and equipped with Master Chronometer calibre 8800. The time-and-date watch we are looking at today is the handsome 41mm steel version with a black dial and integrated strap. Although we have often referred to it as a luxury sports watch – given its shaped case, raised bezel and integrated bracelet – having handled the sleek black dial and bezel version, I am tempted to rela

Prior to Baselworld 2018, Anonimo, the Italian brand founded on the roots of what was left of Panerai when Richemont took it over, presented a new, more casual watch: the Epurato. As indicated by its name, the brand wanted to go back to the essentials, with a cleaner, slightly dressier and easier-on-the-wrist timepiece. Rather successfully received, today two new versions, with DLC-coated cases and sand-coloured accents are introduced, under the name?Anonimo Epurato Safari.Anonimo is truly Italian. Not only in its sense of design but also in its DNA. It was created from the ashes of another Italian?brand. In 1997, Richemont bought Panerai and decided to relocate the production from Florence to Neuchatel. Yet, some of the ex-employees didn't move and they headed the creation of a brand named Anonimo (anonymous in Italian). The main focus was on diving watches, designed by the military engineer Dino Zei, who was at the helm of Panerai for over 20 years. Robust, large, military-inspired&#
