First Look: The new Sand Gold Alloy of the AP Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked
While the Royal Oak was initially born in stainless steel – which, in our opinion, remains the material of choice for the classic Jumbo – the emblematic Audemars Piguet collection rather quickly embraced gold. Since then, precious metals have become integral to the series, always leaving a memorable impression. In its latest venture, the brand introduces a novel 18k gold alloy labelled “sand gold” – a mix of solid gold with copper and palladium – unveiling a new variant of the Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked chosen to showcase the unique aesthetic qualities of this material.The handsome monochromatic Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked debuted in stainless steel in 2022 as part of Royal Oak’s 50th Anniversary celebrations. This timepiece featured Audemars Piguet’s latest in-house 2972 calibre, an evolution of the Calibre 2950 introduced in 2018 in the Code 11.59 collection. Ad - Scroll to conti

A Guide to the different types of Calendar Watches - Monochrome Watches
Horology is a child of astronomy. Ever since man wondered about the passage of time, the schedule of our lives has been shaped by the movement of heavenly bodies. Time was measured by the sun, the moon and the stars. Their regulated and measurable cycles lead to the creation of most calendars. Early mechanical clocks aimed at reproducing these cycles and beyond hours, they showed the date, days of the week, months, moon phases, zodiac signs and other astronomical indications. Today, calendars made their way on the wrist, highly practical and reckoning days inside some of the most exquisite watches. Here is a complete guide to all the forms of calendar watches, from the simple date to the extremely complex secular calendars.A calendar is a system of organizing days by periods of time. Its purpose is to record time and to organize agricultural, social, religious or administrative activities.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 Green Dial - Hands-On, Specs & Price
TAG Heuer is hugely popular for its automotive heritage and its racing chronographs. But the brand also has rich nautical and water-sport credentials, in particular with the Aquaracer dive watch collection. Launched in 2004/2005 as a direct descendant of the 2000 series, the Aquaracer line is now one of the pillars of the TAG Heuer portfolio. It comprises a variety of relatively accessible models. TAG Heuer has made a new addition to the collection with an emerald green Aquaracer Calibre 5.As you would have guessed, the most distinctive feature of this new take on the classic Aquaracer is its eye-catching vivid green dial. If colours are a matter of personal taste, it certainly brings a fresh, modern touch to the model - something quite different from the usual black of deep-blue dial. The dial's horizontal striped pattern is paired with luminescent markers and hands providing adequate contrast. The date indication at 3 o’clock is magnified by a cyclops lens. Ad - Scro

Petrolhead Corner: Skoda Goes Mad With The Enyaq RS Race
Normally, I don’t get overly excited by an electric car, especially when talking about the run-of-the-mill electric SUVs that flood our streets these days. The lack of sounds, vibrations, the smell of gasoline being burnt… that sort of thing. But when a manufacturer takes one to the tracks or modifies it with that intent, things start to get interesting for me. The performance an EV can put down on the tarmac is nothing to complain about, but it’s more about the emotion that’s missing. Nevertheless, upon seeing Skoda’s latest super-EV-SUV (is that a thing?) I was quite intrigued from the get-go! Usually not a manufacturer to go mad about, Skoda has shockingly decided to turn its Enyaq into a race-prepped track machine!Skoda and MotorsportsFor those not ‘in the know’ about what Skoda is and does, it’s a Czech car manufacturer that’s part of the Volkswagen-Audi Group. The brand was established in 1925 as the successor to Lauring &
