Introducing: Zenith El Primero Range Rover Special Edition - Price and Specs - Monochrome Watches
If you’re looking at the photo above, you could think that we’re about to show you a new Zenith model named “Range Rover”. Well, that isn’t exactly the case, however it’s not far besides the truth. Today Zenith launches the Zenith El Primero Range Rover Special Edition, and they do that together with British car brand Land Rover (the makers of the iconic Range Rover). This Special Edition underlines the intend for a long-term partnership between both esteemed brands, and to celebrate two icons that both saw the light of day for the first time in 1969: the El Primero and the Range Rover.?A concise history of the Zenith El Primero Ad - Scroll to continue with article The Zenith El Primero movement was revealed in?1969.

Konstantin Chaykin Takes On The Silver Screen! - Monochrome Watches
The Russian genius returns with another incredible creation! Once again culling inspiration from the pages of history, the Cinema watch pays homage to an inventor from a bygone era.?The last time we caught up with Konstantin Chaykin it was to discuss the Levitas watch; a watch whose inspiration drew back to Robert Houdin's early 19th century Mystery Dial' clocks. Now it seems that he has turned to a different kind of magic, movie magic to build an incredibly clever and whimsical watch!The Eadweard Muybridge Cinema Watch is a 31 jewel, manual wind movement with 48 hours power reserve, creation telling the wearer time in hours and minutes. The first impression I had of the shape and layout of the 37mm by 47mm stainless steel case was that of a medium-format camera something old-fashioned at a minimum. By pressing the button at 9 o'clock on the case, an image of a horse and rider galloping appears! See for yourself! Ad - Scroll to continue with article
Buying Guide - 5 Recently Launched Diving Chronographs
In addition to classic models, with a clearly-defined style and set of functionalities, watchmakers also love to mix genres. What about a perpetual calendar pilot’s watch? Or a sports skeleton timepiece? There’s another combination that feels, at first, a bit unusual but that, however, became more and more popular over the years, a watch combining the resistance and robustness of a diving instrument with the practicality of a chronograph. Diving chronographs were first popularized in the mid-1960s by Aquastar, soon followed by Omega with the iconic Seamaster Automatic 120m Chronograph “Big Blue”. And today, we’ve listed 5 very capable, desirable diving chronographs that have been recently launched – watches that will feel home practically everywhere, under the sea, on land, at the tracks, and in the air. Or if you want to time the cooking of your pasta while taking a jump in the pool…Aquastar Deepstar Chronograph Re-EditionNo doubt, this is a f
Introducing: Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic California Dial
Autumn has finally arrived in Europe, marking the annual migration of birds as they flock to warmer climates. Alpina is also taking a break from the cold Swiss air and hot-footing to sunnier locations, more precisely SoCal. Indeed, the latest-generation Alpiner Extreme, the brand's most formidable contender for outdoor adventures, now dons a cool California dial. Coupled with its aggressive price tag, fans of California dials are going to find this one hard to resist.Revamped in 2022, the robust Alpiner Extreme Automatic has a three-part 41mm cushion-shaped case with a thickness of 11.5mm. Designed to endure knocks, blows and bad weather, there are protective bumpers on both sides of the case, and the screw-down rubber-clad crown ensures optimal grip and the 200m water-resistance. The angular case and round fixed bezel – secured by six screws with triangular heads (Alpina logo) – feature brushed surfaces for a sporty look with polished bevels to highlight the dynamic archit
Rado Golden Horse 1957 Limited Editions - Monochrome Watches
Most of us associate Rado with design-oriented watches and innovative materials, especially high-tech ceramic. Minimalist lines, sleek profiles and silky smooth ceramic cases and bracelets have defined much of the brand's portfolio since the 1990s. And then, during Baselworld 2017, Rado surprised us with a very convincing reinterpretation of a 1962 Captain Cook model complete with 300m diving credentials. Not only was the Captain Cook a vintage-inspired watch, but it was also a dive watch, two genres that not many of us would have anticipated from Rado. Reaching back even further into the brand's somewhat sketchy past, another golden oldie materialised with the resuscitation of a 1957 dress watch known as the Golden Horse. Resurfacing in 2019 with accurate vintage details but a contemporary automatic movement, there are now four models in the Golden Horse 1957 Limited Edition collection and we got our hands on three of them.From Schlup & Co. to RadoThe brand we know today as Rado s
