First Look - the 2021 Editions of the Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar
Omega is primarily known for two significant and historic collections: the Speedmaster and the Seamaster. For more than half a century, these two models have dominated the show at the Biel-based brand, giving it its iconic status. But, Omega has much more to offer than these two sports watches. In fact, there’s a collection that is even more enduring, and that is the Constellation. Built as a more elegant and more refined range of models, it even includes a pretty complex and satisfying calendar watch, the Globemaster Annual Calendar. Three new editions have been launched a couple of weeks ago, and today we have a look at two of these new, luxurious and colourful additions to the Globemaster lineup.?Although the aura of the Speed- and Seamaster collections is unbeatable, there’s one collection at Omega that is even more enduring, and that is the Constellation. Born in the late 1940s, way before the two other sports collections were even imagined, the Constellation was the e

Introducing The New Rado True Square Skeleton (Live Pics & Price)
Rado is synonymous with trendy design-led watch designs and its pioneering use of high-tech ceramics. The True Square, Rado's square watch with an injection-moulded monobloc high-tech ceramic case, is a signature product of the brand. Taking the openworked spirit of the True Square Open Heart in a different direction, the latest True Square models in sleek black, plasma and white high-tech ceramic cases feature a split-level dial and a cut-away top plate to reveal the skeletonised R808 automatic movement.Although there had been square precursors in Rado's portfolio since the mid-1970s, the Ceramica of 1990 marked a milestone as the brand's first square watch with bracelet, crown and case made of high-tech ceramic. Its sleek geometry and minimalism established the aesthetic we have come to associate with Rado's ceramic watches. As a sibling of the Ceramica, the True Square attenuates the rigid geometry of its square case with gently rounded corners for a softer, smoother and almost liqu
Value Proposition - Batavi Architect Sports Watch on Kickstarter
Dutch microbrand Batavi is a relative newcomer with a couple of watches under its belt. We looked at the colourful Kosmopoliet GMT a year ago and were impressed with the vintage diver aesthetic and accessible price. That model followed another diver, Batavi's inaugural Noordzee, but the brand's latest watch takes a different, perhaps more sophisticated approach – or let's say more in the current mood. The diver design makes way for a slick sports watch with an integrated bracelet and multiple dial materials, and at a price point rarely seen in the space. We've seen a small handful of brands release comparable sports watches recently, but Batavi's Architect might be the most intriguing.?The closest thing I can think of to this is Tissot's upcoming PRX Powermatic 80, although it comes in at almost twice the price (from an early bird Kickstarter perspective, but it's made by an established brand). The Batavi features a classic tonneau-shaped case and textured dial, and I find what t
