Review of the Nomos Lambda 39mm - The Luxurious Gold Nomos in a smaller size (live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
When you think “Nomos Glashutte“, what you probably have in your mind are rather small, clean watches inspired by Bauhaus (a German school of art, mixing modernism and simplicity) like the Nomos Ahoi?and the Nomos Tangente. Recently, the brand gained even more affection from us with the introduction of both complicated watches (see the Nomos Zurich Weltzeit) and fully in-house movements (with the Minimatik and?the new Calibre DUW 3001). What was not really expected from the brand however was some luxurious, gold, dress watches – but they did it (and they did it well) with the Lux and the Lambda. The latter comes now in an?even more elegant edition: Review of the Nomos Lambda 39mm – The Luxurious Gold Nomos in a smaller size.BackgroundIn the recent years, Nomos have been quite active. First, they’ve been moving to (almost) fully-in-house movements – and frankly not the worst ones, like for instance this automatic world-timer calibre that can be found
Hands-On Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 26238ST
The Beast… This is the name watch enthusiasts gave to the Royal Oak Offshore when it was presented in 1993. If the classic Royal Oak of 1972 was already disruptive, the ROO was a shock, a true rupture, something unprecedented and provocative. But almost 30 years after its presentation, the Royal Oak Offshore has proven to be a finely tuned recipe and has since been derived in a multitude of versions. However, nothing can beat the iconic status of the original. We’ve seen a re-edition of this very watch in 2018 and, this year, Audemars Piguet brings a new version of its Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph that again pays tribute to the early years of the ROO. Also available in titanium and gold, we now take a closer look at the all-time classic steel-and-blue version of this 26238ST, which comes with noteworthy improvements, and isn’t limited anymore.The 1993 Royal Oak OffshoreAs always with watches paying tribute to a past model, a historical brief is necessary.

Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Automatic & Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Power Control - hands-on with live photos & price - Monochrome-Watches
Since 1988, Chopard is the?official timekeeper and sponsor of the Mille Miglia,?an open-road endurance race which took place in Italy and that?has been reborn as a race for classic and vintage cars since 1977. To celebrate this partnership, Chopard?has created a collection of watches that became the brand’s sports watches range. For Baselworld 2015, a new collections that includes the?Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Automatic & Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Power Control had been launched, with in-house movements that clearly identify Chopard as a strong actor of the industry.Mille Miglia watches by Chopard had always been inspired by racing cars, as they were fitted with visual elements reminding of this context: a rubber strap with a tyre pattern, bright colors reminiscent of racing cars' livery and displays?inspired by dashboards. However, elegance and technical attraction was?not always present in these watches and the comparison with the rest of the collection, including the superb
Introducing: Montblanc Star Legacy Green Exploding Star Collection
In 1997, Montblanc launched its first watch collection, influenced, as you might expect, by its famous writing instruments. The Star Legacy collection, launched in 1997, featured the brand's famous white star logo on the crown. Introduced in 1913, the logo gracing the caps of its fountain pens that looks like a star is, in fact, a stylised representation of a bird's eye view of the snow-capped peak of Mont Blanc and its six glaciers. Following the two limited edition models released last year with blue dials, Montblanc proposes an Automatic Date and a Chronograph Day & Date with lively green guilloche-style dials. The pebble-shaped 43mm stainless steel case and onion crowns shared by both models are inspired by Minerva pocket watches from the late 19th and early 20th century. The large 43mm case size, introduced in 2020, is coupled with a height of 11mm for the Automatic Date and 14.76mm for the Chronograph. The case is decorated with polished top surfaces an
Oris Chronoris Limited Edition - Monochrome Watches
Renowned for its technical, modern and robust-looking watches, Oris started to introduce some vintage-inspired designs in its collections a few years ago, notably with the Divers Sixty Five collection. While the pilot’s watches hark back to the 1940s and the diving pieces play on the 1960s trend, the motorsport collection?recreates the spirit of another era, the 1970s. In keeping with the bold, colourful and shaped watches of the epoch, Oris reissued an iconic model: the Chronoris. Today, the brand releases a fresh, cool new model, the?Oris Chronoris Limited Edition.At the beginning of the 1970s, Oris launched its first chronograph – surprisingly late for a brand founded in 1904. Completely “en vogue” at that time, this watch came with a typical seventies “pilot’s” or “helmet” case, basically an ovoid-shaped case with integrated lugs. It was also the first watch of the brand to be dedicated to the world of motorsport, and for this r
