Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition - Monochrome Watches
Working closely with the world's most famous spy in cinematic history, currently portrayed by Daniel Craig, Omega has created a rather unique Seamaster Diver 300M. The new 007 Edition – which is non-limited by the way – looks and feels completely different from the regular Seamaster Professional series. And that is a good thing because a man of his stature deserves something special right? So without further ado, let us take you through all the details of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition.I vividly remember growing up with the James Bond movie franchise. Being a kid of the eighties meant that many films came before I was born, and many have come since, but I've watched them all several times over. One thing that stands out most to me, besides the obvious taglines, is the gadgets (and the cars of course). In almost every movie, the Q-branch of MI6 plays a major role in James Bond's missions, supplying him with the necessary state of the art equipment, often disguise

Patek Philippe 5370P Split-Seconds Chronograph, Now in Blue Enamel - Monochrome Watches
Patek and the chronograph complication is a long-lasting love story. The brand has been manufacturing stopwatches almost since its inception… And when it comes to chronographs, there’s one type that rules them all, the Split-Seconds or rattrapante, the King of chrono watches. This a complication that Patek masters since 1923 – surprisingly first built in a women’s watch. The current collection comprises multiple ‘splits’, one of them being seen as a collector’s grail, the Patek Philippe 5370P Split-Seconds Chronograph; which makes its comeback in 2020 with this new blue enamel version.BackgroundThe 5370P was introduced at Baselworld 2015 and was an immediate success – it is, according to many, including us here at MONOCHROME, one of the most beautiful Patek watches currently produced. The reason lies in multiple things; the execution, the movement and, let’s be honest, the design. The 5370P is greatly inspired by?1940s to 1960s spli

Introducing: The Absinthe by Massena LAB and Ra¨²l Pages
What started as Massena LAB’s venture to create watches in collaboration with accessible niche brands or renowned independent watchmakers has grown to another level. Now, the horological creative studio not only designs and develops watches but has gotten to the point of co-developing its own proprietary movements. First seen with the Old School watch, made with Luca Soprana, Massena later launched the Magraph, involving talented indie watchmaker Ra¨²l Pages in the development of its hand-wound movement. Following the recent Observatory Dial watch with Phillips, the concept is now back in a new edition, the Absinthe watch, with a rich green dial that is about to make you see the Green Fairy…?The launch of the Magraph was an important step for Massena LAB, a declaration of independence. Moving beyond his usual strategy of reworking the design of watches (cases, dials, materials), William Massena decided to go one step further by developing his own proprietary movement, the ca
