Introducing The A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus Chronograph
If you turn up to the most important annual watch salon with just one model, it had better be good. And being A. Lange & Sohne, the watch in question will not disappoint as the Saxon brand unveils its first automatic chronograph movement – calibre L156.1 – inside its Odysseus sports watch. Regarded as one of the most challenging complications to construct, the new and highly ingenious chronograph movement dispenses with counters to relay elapsed times. Instead, and respecting the strong visual identity of this watch with its outsize day and date windows, the Odysseus Chronograph relies on two central chronograph hands, a reset-to-zero button and increased functionality of the pushers.The Odysseus, launched on 24 October 2019?– 25 years to the day of the first collection that marked Lange's revival – was the brand's take on the luxury sports watch, its first sporty-elegant' everyday model. Not only was it the first steel model for the brand, but it was also t

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT 26589IO
Watch legends are tough acts to follow. The groundbreaking Royal Oak of 1972, Gerald Genta's luxury steel sports watch that founded an entirely new genre, was revisited in 1993 with the Royal Oak Offshore provoking as disparate reactions as the original. Thirty years later, in 2002, another collection known as the Royal Oak Concept saw the light. This powerful collection with its deconstructed architecture firmly plants the Royal Oak in the 21st century. Innovative materials and complex openworked architecture are trademark features of the Royal Oak Concept that attires its Flying Tourbillon GMT in shades of blue and grey.A mighty Royal OakThe Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon GMT made its debut two years ago in a darker version with sandblasted titanium and a brushed black ceramic bezel.

Introducing The Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman 41mm (Live Pics & Price)
One of the best marketing tools for a watch brand is an exciting, real-life action story. Whether providing field, dive, or even marine chronometer watches for US Army and Navy servicemen or appearing in cameos on the silver screen, many of Hamilton‘s historical watches have seen their fair share of action. The Frogman, Hamilton’s tough diver, got real-life experience with the US Navy’s underwater demolition teams and even appeared in the 1951 movie The Frogmen enacting dramatic missions undertaken by the combat divers. Revisited in 2022, Hamilton’s vintage military-grade dive watch resurfaced as the Khaki Navy Frogman in a formidable 46mm case with more contemporary aesthetics. Today, Hamilton expands the Frogman Auto with four new models in more compact 41mm cases.Action-readyHamilton’s tough purpose-built diver with an unusual locking mechanism on the crown was part of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) gear and used on mine-clearing missions in
