The 2021 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Master Chronometer
Today is Tuesday… and in terms of watches, you know what it means. Omega didn’t wait long in 2021 to bring its first novelty for “Speedy Tuesday” and, clearly, this is a very important one. Today, Omega updates its most iconic watch, a model that has been practically untouched since the late 1960s, with the current reference dating back to 1997. We, of course, talk about the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional, the classic 42mm stainless steel reference with an asymmetrical case, the core member of the collection. Indeed, not a watch that can be updated without consequences. And here is the new?Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional, which introduces the Master Chronometer Co-Axial Calibre 3861 in a regular production Speedy, with small (but cool) visual updates and new iterations in Sedna and Canopus gold.The Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional, until nowWhile this article isn't the place to make the complete history of the Omega Speedmaster – for this, y

Farer Stanhope - A Classic Design and a Fun, Sophisticated Dial Give Farers 37mm Hand-Wound a Ton of Character - Monochrome Watches
The United Kingdom seems to be a hotbed for independent watch brands these days with names like Vertex, Garrick, Bremont?and Pinion, among many others. Farer Universal is a relative newcomer and takes inspiration from 1960s and 1970s watchmaking, adding colourful and sophisticated dials to a variety of styles. We reviewed its Aqua Compressor Endeavour last year and walked away impressed, and its most recent chronographs are right up there with established brands like Hamilton and Tissot (see our editorial on Microbrands vs. Accessible Established Brands). The Stanhope was introduced in 2018 with the brand's smallest case to date and a hand-wound ETA movement, joining two others in the collection, the Lansdell and Hudson. Most of Farer's portfolio contains automatic watches with a couple of quartz options, so the 37mm hand-wound collection stands out in both size and movement. The Stanhope proved to be the most popular of the trio with the first batch selling out quickly. Let's take a c

Ulysse Nardin Executive Free Wheel 2019 New Models - Introducing, Specs & Price
Ulysse Nardin is not renowned for its low-key, conventional watches. A precursor in the use of silicium (silicon) and fond of extravagant, highly technical – often futuristic – displays, Ulysse Nardin sticks to its guns and revisits its spectacular Executive Free Wheel with new dials made from aventurine, osmium, Carbonium gold and straw marquetry - yes, you heard correctly, straw marquetry! Upside DownThe Executive Tourbillon Free Wheel appeared in 2018. Staging most of the movement's components on the dial UN went one step further to create the illusion of free-floating components. The unorthodox arrangement gives every miniature part a starring role in the spectacle contained under the domed sapphire glass that extends to the sides.
