IWC Pilot Chronograph Edition Saint-Exupery 'The Last Flight' - Monochrome-Watches
70 years ago Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who could have been IWC’s best ambassador for pilot watches, took off on a reconnaissance flight over France and never returned. It was the 11 August 1944. IWC,?which?always had a strong link with aviation and military-inspired watches, pays tribute once again to this great man, both a famous novelist and trained aviator. In a previous edition of its pilot watch, the brand was giving honors to the author, with the?IWC Pilot Watch Chronograph Edition ?Le Petit Prince??and the?IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar and Mark XVII Limited Special Edition Le Petit Prince. It is now the appropriate day to celebrate the pilot, with a new limited edition of the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph.This limited edition of the IWC Pilot Chronograph comes in an unusual full-brown colour combination. The 46mm case is made of brown silicon nitride ceramic. Both the dial – with a sun-burst finish – and the strap are also using that same colour. T
Glashutte Original Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition - Monochrome Watches
Glashutte Original released the?Senator Moon Phase Skeletonized Edition, earlier this year. I would have expect a skeletonized version of an existing model, but no… Glashutte-Original?choose for?a skeletonized version of the 1845 Classic Up/Down with Moon Phase, originally introduced more than ten years ago. The skeletonizing and engraving is very much different from the Piece Unique that Kees Engelbarts recently showed us. Both in design and in the amount of work/time invested. This new Glashutte-Original is limited to 100 numbered pieces and is thus available for 99 more new owners, then?the unique pieces by Kees Engelbarts or Grieb?& Benzinger.

Officine Panerai Introduces a New Entry Level 8-days Manual Wind Movement - Caliber P.5000 - Monochrome Watches
Roughly six months after the SIHH, the ‘usual’ moment for introducing new watches for brands of the Richemont stable, Panerai introduces an entirely new caliber and two new watches. The new movement, caliber P.5000, is a manually wound movement with 8 days of power reserve. It will be positioned as most affordable in-house movement, with a price level that’s just a tad above the Unitas-based movements. The movement is launched in two watches, which are part of the Historic collection.The two new watches come in the familiar Luminor Marina case, featuring the minimalist design of the case and dial and of course the iconic locking lever to protect the winding crown. The red gold case (PAM00511) is made of 5Npt red gold, a distinctive alloy with a high percentage of copper?that gives it a particularly deep color, and a bit of platinum that helps to prevent?oxidation. The other is a stainless steel version (PAM00510) and both measure 44 mm in diameter. Ad - Scr
Introducing: The Ultra-Cool Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Ice-Blue Now in 35mm
It’s no secret we’re fans of the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (and its chronograph brother for that matter) as it is genuinely one of the best value-for-money watches in recent years. It looks cool, comes in many appealing variations, and since recently been available in a long-awaited smaller case size of 35mm. What started as a set of four new references in the new diameter, with black, blue, green or white mother-of-pearl dials, is now expanded with a fifth new reference. To complete the set, Tissot now adds the sub-zero cool ice-blue variant to its collection.With the launch of the new 35mm size, Tissot listened to the demands of the public for a smaller mechanical variation of the PRX. arguably, the 40mm size was already very, very good and proved extremely popular, there were plenty of people who simply felt it was too big. We’ve gone over the differences in size and proportions before, so we won’t bore you with it again and go straight into detail, as this ne
