Introducing Chopard L.U.C QF Revolution Edition Luminous Sector Dial
Revolution, a long-established print and online magazine focussed on watches and run by our friend Wei Koh, is used to making quite impressive collaborations, often resulting in highly attractive watches. One of the?long-time partners of Revo is Chopard, a collaboration that already resulted in two salmon-coloured models paying tribute to the first-ever L.U.C watch. Today, the Singapore-based magazine launches its third dedicated edition with the Swiss manufacture. And it’s an attractive combination of classic 1940s design, modernity in the?execution and mechanical refinement. Meet the Chopard L.U.C QF Revolution Edition.In short, what you’re looking at is a “vintaged” take on the classic dress watcha la Chopard, with slightly enlarged case and a luminous sector dial to bring some casualness and inside the best of L.U.C with a Qualite Fleurier movement. On paper, this sounds like a pretty engaging recipe. And the result really does make an impression.
Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial in titanium - Review after a summer on the wrist (live photos, specs and price) - Monochrome-Watches
The new Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial… THE star of Baselworld 2014, a truly inspired watch with its superb vintage design, a great horological content, and the introduction of a fully?anti-magnetic movement! We’ve covered it multiple times already on Monochrome (here and here). After all the noise created around this timepiece, it was clearly time for us to use it, to feel it, to show it. Well, we’ve been testing the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial in titanium over the space of a whole summer.Omega surprised us just before Baselworld 2014, with a teaser showing a new dive watch. You know us here at Monochrome-Watches, we can’t resist opening our photo-editing software and to imagine the future novelties. So, we’ve predicted this new watch. The impatience was great before the annual watch fair, as we knew Omega was cooking something cool. The result was beyond our expectations, with a superbly designed watch which had been inspired by one of the b
The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic M79210CNU with METAS Certification
Following the introduction of its new collection just over a month ago at Watches & Wonders, we clearly didn’t expect to see new models from Tudor for a while… And certainly, we didn’t expect to see something as big as what’s coming today. Sure, there’s a new Black Bay Ceramic, which was somehow announced two years ago with a unique model for Only Watch charity auction. Sure, it looks cool (better than the OW model…) and is the first time ceramic is used in this collection. But most importantly, the big deal is in the technologies, and specifically in the certifications, as the manufacture calibre has been reworked and is now Master Chronometer certified by METAS, with impressive 15,000-gauss magnetic resistance… something that is not exclusive to Omega anymore (but was never meant to be from the very beginning). So let’s have a look at this new Tudor Black Bay Ceramic M79210CNU.The unique Tudor Black Bay Ceramic One of Only Watch 201
Introducing the Panerai Radiomir Platino and Oro Rosso 47mm Special Edition - Monochrome Watches
This year Panerai added two entirely new models to their collection. And by “new” we really mean “new”! After many variations on the familiar Luminor models with the iconic crown protector and the stylish Radiomir cushion-shape case, Panerai is adding more variations to the collection. First there were the Radiomir 1940 models?(will be reviewed here on Monochrome soon!) and now Panerai adds another variation on the Radiomir, again based on a historical model from the 1930’s.?The new models are the Radiomir Platino and Oro Rosso 47mm. Maybe not a distinct name and also the shape does share many similarities with the regular Radiomir cushion-shape, however the two new Special Edition models feature a 12-sided bezel. The two new Special Editions come in red gold (PAM00522) and in?platinum (PAM00521). Ad - Scroll to continue with article

These two models were introduced with a?blue and silver dial, and now there’s a third colour. And boy, what a colour! Not many watch brands dare to go off the beaten path of black, white/silver or blue, well, Vacheron Constantin, a brand that has proven not to be shy to go off that beaten track, does so again. And with flair!The new Overseas collection by Vacheron Constantin was clearly one of the main attractions of the SIHH 2016.
