First Look: The new Sand Gold Alloy of the AP Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked
While the Royal Oak was initially born in stainless steel – which, in our opinion, remains the material of choice for the classic Jumbo – the emblematic Audemars Piguet collection rather quickly embraced gold. Since then, precious metals have become integral to the series, always leaving a memorable impression. In its latest venture, the brand introduces a novel 18k gold alloy labelled “sand gold” – a mix of solid gold with copper and palladium – unveiling a new variant of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked chosen to showcase the unique aesthetic qualities of this material.The handsome monochromatic Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked debuted in stainless steel in 2022 as part of Royal Oak’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. This timepiece featured Audemars Piguet’s latest in-house 2972 calibre, an evolution of the Calibre 2950 introduced in 2018 in the Code 11.59 collection. Ad - Scroll to conti
Introducing the Smoky Green Santos De Cartier MM & LM Models
Revamped entirely in 2018, with a sportier design and a clever set of interchangeable straps and bracelet, the Santos de Cartier (not to be confused with its more elegant sister, the Santos-Dumont) has been first launched, classically, with silver dials, and in Large Model (LM) and Medium Model (MM), both powered by automatic movements. Then followed a cool gradient blue dial, and bold versions mixing steel and rubber, either in black or in blue. This year, the Santos de Cartier will have a new edition, and be prepared, we might look at possibly the coolest edition so far. Here are the Smoky Green Santos LM and MM.On the side of the specs, nothing changes. The Santos de Cartier is still the sports watch with a French touch, typical of Cartier, yet with a more robust twist. And there’s still the super practical QuickSwitch?interchangeability system, as the two editions come with a steel bracelet and a green alligator strap as standard. The steel bracelet also features the SmartLin
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometer Green // Review
What we’re looking at today might simply be a new dial colour, but it made quite a lot of noise when we introduced it a couple of weeks ago. Multiple reactions here and on our Instagram account made us realize that a dial colour can make a hell of a difference on a watch. So today we take a closer look, with our own live photos, at the brand new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Master Chronometer with a green dial… And it was absolutely necessary, as the subtle (yet hard to define) colour of this dial looks far better in real life than in official images.?Emerald, olive, forest, pine, British racing, jade, army… There are dozens of shades for green. And this new Omega is beautiful, yet hard to describe, depending on the ambient light.Green isn’t the first colour you might think of for a watch dial. In addition to the all-time classics – that are black and silver/white –? blue has been widely used by brands for over 10 years (remember those “blue

We are in for a real treat for the legendary chronograph’s 60th anniversary, with two new modern versions of the timeless classic, racing-inspired timepiece initially designed by Jack Heuer.
