First Look: The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy
The long-awaited No-Date Seamaster Diver 300M… Teased during the summer, finally released in steel versions in late 2024. Deeply inspired by the No Time to Die edition once worn on screen by 007, this new sub-collection within the SM300 range got the vintage touch in addition to being free of its date window, domed sapphire crystal, aluminium dial and bezel, and some with a mesh bracelet. The design proved to be a success in steel, only to be confirmed by the Titanium and Bronze Gold edition with green accents a few weeks later.

First Look: The Elegant Black-Gold Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Self-Winding
To attract and cultivate a new generation of watch enthusiasts who are still young but may develop a passion for collecting fine mechanical timepieces, Vacheron Constantin launched a new entry-level collection in 2018. Inspired by the design of the Reference 6073 introduced by the brand in 1956, the collection was aptly named Fiftysix, capturing the mood for vintage-looking watches while blending a mid-century aesthetic with a modern, casual urban vibe. At its debut, Vacheron Constantin presented the Fiftysix in both steel and pink gold versions, offering models such as the Self-Winding time and date, a Day-Date, and a Complete Calendar. Later that same year, a Tourbillon model was also introduced. Most recently, the brand has expanded the collection by adding the Fiftysix Self-Winding model in rose gold, featuring a black dial.? The new Fiftysix Self-Winding model features a pink gold case with a distinctive Maltese cross-inspired lug shape and measures 40mm in

Buying Guide - 5 Brown Watches Launched in 2018
For the past five or six years, we’ve seen a massive parade of blue watches marching across the watch scenario. All brands – really, all of them – had a blue version of an existing watch to show (with or without success). So now that blue has become the new black, it is time for our dear watchmaking brands to come up with something new. And if that’s not entirely established yet, it seems that brown watches could well be the upcoming trend. Here are five of them, launched at Baselworld 2018.Warm, original and a great match with gold, brown remains a very dangerous colour if it is not well dosed. Without jumping into gross comparisons, we all know that brown is not the sexiest colour. Yet, when combined with the right metals and used in soft tones, it can lead to a nice, slightly vintage-inspired piece, as elegant as the classic black or blue options – as the rise of vintage, patinated watches with chocolate dials attests. This year, at Baselworld 2018, som

The Mido Multifort Patrimony Collection (Specs & Price)
Mido is a brand that sometimes flies under the radar, at least here in the United States. Brands like Hamilton, Tissot and Longines seem to garner more attention in the USD 1,000 race, but Mido has both a storied history and portfolio that shouldn't be overlooked. The brand's Multifort line has been in production since 1934 and was the first Mido with an automatic movement. The watches were anti-magnetic, shock and water-resistant, offering a rare combination of robustness at an impressive price to quality ratio. The same holds true today with the new Multifort Patrimony collection, featuring a retro design, top mechanics and attainable prices. As part of the Swatch Group, Mido benefits from the conglomerate's resources, and its latest trio of Multifort Patrimony timepieces continue their legacy of style, innovation and function. Let's take a closer look.BACKGROUNDMido was founded in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland by George G. Schaeren in 1918. Initial watches featured shaped cases with colo
