Introducing: The New Generation of Sinn 903 St Navigation Chronograph
Founded in 1961 by former military pilot Helmut Sinn, German watchmaker Sinn has long specialised in crafting rugged sports, pilot and instrument watches with a slightly military approach. Emblematic models such as the U1 (and its smaller version, the U50), the Bundeswehr chronograph or the 103 St have forged the brand’s reputation. There’s another watch that is part of the classics, a navigation chronograph named the Sinn 903 St. This year, this watch with one of the most classic designs of the industry gets a technical update to make it even better. Here’s the new generation of 903 St.?Before you start commenting on the fact that this watch is a copy of the Breitling Navitimer, let me explain why you’d be right on one side, but also why Sinn has the legitimacy to do so. Some might not know the story behind the creation of the Sinn 903 and why it is so close to a Navitimer in both design and technical specs. The story is that, back in the late 1970s, Breilting

IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph "80 Years Flight To New York" IW395003 - Hands-On, Price
The IWC Schaffhausen Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Chronograph might not be the most coveted watch in the brand’s pilot collection and still, it is certainly one of the most relevant… Why, you might well ask? For the main reason that it combines two of the most practical features for such a watch; a flyback chronograph and a clever dual-time function actuated by the bezel. Today, as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Antoine de Saint Exupery's historic flight across the Atlantic (and because IWC is a partner of the Antoine de Saint Exupery Youth Foundation), the brand unveils a new limited-edition Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Chronograph “80 Years Flight To New York”.The Latecoere 521 Lieutenant de Vaisseau Paris, piloted by Henri Guillaumet and with Antoine de Saint Exupery onboard, was the first plane to make a non-stop flight across the North Atlantic in July 1939.In addition to breaking records as a pilot, Antoine de Saint Exupery made aviation history as

The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Collection Goes Green & Gold
The sunburst green dial is not a new concept for Vacheron Constantin; there are references in the Traditionelle collection featuring the same finish. With that in mind, the new sporty and chic Overseas references, while adding a new adventurous direction, are essentially the same watches we have seen released in previous years, in pink gold and steel, with blue, silver and black coloured dials. The timepieces in question are the Overseas Self-Winding 41mm and the 35mm (with a gem-set bezel), the Overseas Dual Time 41mm and the Overseas Chronograph 42,5mm. Now, though, they come in a delectable pairing of pink, gold and green.Christian Selmoni, Vacheron Constantin’s Style & Heritage Director, shed light on the decision to incorporate green, stating that the Overseas collection provides an ideal canvas for colour experimentation. He emphasised the desire to expand beyond the traditional palette of white, black, and the iconic Overseas blue. When questioned about the choice to d
