While the 2020 edition of the Olympic Summer Games has been postponed, this isn’t the case yet for the upcoming Olympic Winter Games, which will occur in Beijing in 2022. One year to go, and Omega presents its first watch dedicated to this edition, the new Seamaster Diver 300M “Beijing 2022” Special Edition.It's now just one year until the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 begin in China.

As often, this new Olympics-themed model is based on a Seamaster, this time using the successful Diver 300M architecture. Ad - Scroll to continue with art

When opening my mailbox this morning, a new press release from IWC just came in. After opening that press release, the one and only thought I had was “WHY?”. Well, the BIG news is that IWC is also going to join the connected / smart watch race. They choose to do that with a ‘connected device’ that has been baptized IWC Connect, which will be integrated into the straps of IWC (sports) watches. Sometime later this year IWC will announce more information, however it’s certain that they will start with the Big Pilot’s Watch. – THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED (at the end) WITH NEW INFO FROM IWC –Let’s be clear about this, high-end watchmaking and SMART watches have nothing in common, zero, nada, niente (that’s Spanish/Portuguese and Italian).

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 Green Dial - Hands-On, Specs & Price
TAG Heuer is hugely popular for its automotive heritage and its racing chronographs. But the brand also has rich nautical and water-sport credentials, in particular with the Aquaracer dive watch collection. Launched in 2004/2005 as a direct descendant of the 2000 series, the Aquaracer line is now one of the pillars of the TAG Heuer portfolio. It comprises a variety of relatively accessible models. TAG Heuer has made a new addition to the collection with an emerald green Aquaracer Calibre 5.As you would have guessed, the most distinctive feature of this new take on the classic Aquaracer is its eye-catching vivid green dial. If colours are a matter of personal taste, it certainly brings a fresh, modern touch to the model - something quite different from the usual black of deep-blue dial. The dial's horizontal striped pattern is paired with luminescent markers and hands providing adequate contrast. The date indication at 3 o’clock is magnified by a cyclops lens. Ad - Scro
