Introducing The Audemars ROC Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT
The launch of a new Royal Oak Concept is always quite of an event. Since 2002, the collection has been a platform of experimentation for Audemars Piguet, blending innovative technical solutions with avant-garde design. A case in point, the new ROC Split-Seconds GMT ref. 26650TI combines a new automatic rattrapante chronograph movement with dual-time function and large date, a new case size and an interchangeable strap system.?If the chronograph is one of the most revered complications, the rattrapante or split-seconds function takes it to a whole new level. This intricate mechanism is one of the most difficult to make. Split-second chronographs feature two superimposed seconds hands that time two events of different lengths simultaneously. One hand (the rattrapante) can be stopped to display an intermediate time, while the other one keeps running. A second push on the rattrapante pusher allows the stopped hand to catch up (rattraper in French) with the moving hand. Ad - Scro

Review of the Extra-Flat Richard Mille RM 033 Boutique Edition (Titanium & Rose Gold) - Live photos & price - Monochrome-Watches
When the name Richard Mille comes into the game, large?tonneau shaped watches come to mind, with a sporty feeling and highly technical content. Not the usual ingredients for a dress-watch. Of course, some editions are less “hardcore” than the others, like for instance the RM 022 Aerodyne (a smaller, less rugged but still highly complicated watch) or the classical RM 029. However, the watch we’re about to review breaks all these codes. It’s round, it’s slim, it’s supposed to be the ‘elegant and dressy’ proposition of the brand. However, surprisingly, it remains recognizable as a Richard Mille all the way round. Let’s have a closer look at the?Extra-Flat Richard Mille RM 033 Boutique Edition (Titanium & Rose Gold).Overall appearanceThe Richard Mille RM 033 is in every aspect?a RM watch but at the same time everything except?a RM watch. All of the actual attributes of a Richard Mille watch are absent here but at the same time, you

Introducing: The Oris Aquis Date 41.5mm "Taste of Summer" Capsule
Summer is in the air, and the holiday season is just around the corner. As a brand that has never been shy of colour, Oris proposes two watermelon-coloured models for its versatile Aquis Date 41.5mm dive watch. Perfect for outdoor activities but smart enough to wear daily, the Aquis Date collection was recently refreshed. The design tweaks applied to the Aquis Date collection introduced at Watches & Wonders earlier this year result in a more refined profile and a more comfortable wearer experience.While blue, green and black dials have been the predominant colours of the brand's Aquis Date collection since its launch in 2011, Oris stretched the colour palette with an eye-popping cherry red version in 2021 along with a multi-coloured mottled upcycled plastic dial. A year later, the Aquis Date 36.5mm appeared with colourful mother-of-pearl dials in tandem with the Cotton Candy Divers Sixty-Five bronze trilogy with shocking pink, green and baby blue dials.

Here's the Angelus U53 Tourbillon Dive Watch in a trendy Khaki green colour scheme.Go ahead, I'll give you a minute to think of another watch that comes with a (flying) tourbillon escapement and has a depth rating of 300 meters or more. It's not that easy, is it? That's because it is simply something that doesn't naturally go well together, a robust diving instrument fitted with a delicate anti-gravity regulator. Sure, the Angelus U53 is not alone, but you'd have to have intimate knowledge of the watch market, past and present, to come up with an answer. Richard Mille has done it with the RM 025, a 300m watch
