Omega Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Limited Edition Set / Introducing, Price
A few weeks ago, Omega introduced a new Bond-themed Seamaster Diver 300M, inspired by the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, a watch that we experienced live and gave it a good, objective look. Based on the refreshed model launched in 2018, this limited edition showed multiple, rather blatant 007-inspired details, mainly visible on its dial. In addition to this specific reference, Omega is now introducing a much more exclusive model, highly limited in production, comprising not one but two watches, with one made of 18k gold. Meet the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Limited Edition Set.You’re a Bond 007 hardcore fan (and also rather fortunate)? Well, this set of two Seamaster Diver 300M is for you.At first, you could easily think Omega took the 7,007 pieces we reviewed here and created an additional gold model on this base… Well, not entirely wrong, but this “James Bond Limited Edition Set” has more specificities than just a luxurious material for i
Ulysse Nardin Diver Deep Dive SIHH 2018 (Specs & Price)
Bold, bold and… Bold! Yes, this new?Ulysse Nardin Diver Deep Dive is anything but discreet and is a proper tool watch built to withstand immense pressure. What you see is the?new hero piece of the Ulysse Nardin Diver Collection. For the SIHH 2018, Ulysse Nardin is not only playing its innovation and fine craftsmanship cards, it’s also rekindling the design inspirations that made the brand popular a few years ago.

More recently, however, Ulysse Nardin has gained popularity thanks to its bold, masculine dive watches grouped under the Diver collection. While this collection has been slightly overshadowed by the Marine (with the new Marine Torpilleur or the redesigned Marine Chronometers), this year the Ulysse Nardin Diver stages a comeback and makes a big splash!

Buying Guide - Best Luxury Watches With Interchangeable Bracelet/Strap
We all know that a watch is probably a man’s most important accessory (along with his wedding ring). It reflects his personality, his way of life, it must comply with the situation and his wardrobe. There are, of course, no rules but you’ll admit that a dive watch won’t be the best option for a night at the opera. The solution to that (non)problem: having a watch for every situation… Or, having a versatile watch that can change personality by just changing its metallic bracelet for an alligator leather strap. Convenient, isn’t it? If that’s something you want to experience, we have found four extremely good watches that are delivered with more than one style of bracelet/strap.Note: this selection is based on the preferences of MONOCHROME’s editors.
