Patek Philippe Chronograph Annual Calendar Steel 5905/1A
The annual calendar chronograph is one of the most fascinating yet rarest combinations in the industry, as we’ve experienced in this in-depth article. And one brand in particular does it better than the rest of the bunch, and that is Patek Philippe. For a good reason, since the brand invented the annual calendar function back in 1996. Now, there’s a rather large collection of watches using this unusual combination, and specifically the 5905 is often regarded as the most attractive model. Today, Patek launches a new, surprisingly sporty version of this watch with a steel case, a steel bracelet and an olive green dial, with the new Chronograph Annual Calendar 5905/1A.While on paper we’re certainly talking about just a new version of a watch that has been in production for some years now, this new iteration of the large Chronograph Annual Calendar, the reference 5905/1A, comes with some rather interesting attributes. Yes… steel case and bracelet, not something that
Christopher Ward C9 Harrison 5-Day Automatic with the brand's first in-house movement - Monochrome Watches
The introduction of a new in-house movement does not happen every day and is an important moment for any watch brand. Well, maybe not so much for Jaeger-LeCoultre, who have more then 1,000 calibres on their repertoire. However it definitely is a very important moment for a relatively young watch brand that isn’t even Swiss. British watch brand Christopher Ward introduce their first in-house movement, calibre SH21, in the C9 Harrison 5-Day Automatic.?The newly developed movement first appear in Christopher Ward’s flagship collection – the Harrison collection. Aesthetically this is the best that Christopher Ward has to offer, although the C5 Malvern Slimline that we recently showed as value proposition is also in line with the same aesthetic codes. The design is clean and strong. The finish of the case is nice, and comprises brushed and polished parts, and it features a rather thin bezel and therefore relatively large dial. With a diameter of 43mm and 13.45mm in height,

First Look: The Subtle Upgrades of the Oris Aquis Date Collection
During Watches & Wonders 2024, Oris unveiled a new generation of its Aquis Date, the brand's best-selling dive watch. While radically altering the design of your best-selling watch dive watch could alienate your loyal customer base and create an incoherent identity, Oris has limited its intervention to subtle design tweaks. Enhancing the watch visibly and physically, these well-calibrated, almost imperceptible alterations make the Oris Aquis Date more elegant, comfortable to wear and balanced without sacrificing its performance-oriented dive watch identity.Launched in 2011, the Aquis Date was designed as a muscular, water-resistant toolwatch. Appealing to divers and landlubbers alike, the Aquis is considered a solid, contemporary, performance- and value-oriented model. Underscoring its importance in the collection, the 43.5mm version of the Aquis Date was the first model to be equipped with the brand's new automatic proprietary Calibre 400 with a five-day power reserve, anti-magnet
