Omega Seamaster Diver 300M "007 On?Her?Majestys?Secret Service" 50th Anniversary (Specs & Price)
Since the 1995 film Goldeneye, Omega has been James Bond’s official watch. In this film, actor Pierce Brosnan wore an Omega Seamaster 300M Professional Quartz, featuring a blue dial with the signature wave pattern. This model and all its modern iterations would earn the nickname the “Bond Watch” (see our Retrospective of the Entire Omega Seamaster x James Bond 007 History here). Based on the recently revamped Seamaster Diver 300M, Omega introduces a limited edition for diehard fans of 007 and celebrates the 50th anniversary of On?Her?Majesty's?Secret Service (1969).Omega x BondOmega and James Bond have been partners since Goldeneye (1995), and ever since then, the world’s most famous spy has since been wearing a Seamaster watch (or more than one) in every single movie.

Hands-On With the Elegant Yet Accessible Longines Presence Heritage
The Heritage collection is, without a doubt, one of my favourites in the Longines range, and for many years I have enjoyed sharing my admiration whenever the topic came up. The history of this truly great brand dates back to 1832, with vast archives to dive into. Thus, for the Heritage Collection, there are plenty of delightful models to replicate or serve as inspiration to please today’s customers. The Longines Presence Heritage, a slightly overlooked model (to say the least), honours the brand’s past and present with this lovely reference in rose gold. And there are many things to talk about regarding the design, but it’s also one of the best value proposition models the brand has to offerOne of the particularities that contribute to my appreciation for Longines is the meetings I had over the years with Walter von Kanel, who worked at the company for over 30 years before retiring from the post of president at the age of 79. I could say he was responsible for teachin

Up Into The Clouds With Some Of The Fliest Pilots Watches Of 2022 So Far - Monochrome Watches
Tool watches can be divided into three basic categories (dive watches, field watches and pilot’s watches), even though some might overlap into multiple groups. The robust, utilitarian nature of tool watches is what a lot of people look for in a daily, care-free watch. In today’s Buying Guide we take a closer look at one specific category of tool-watches, the one that takes us up in the clouds (if we want): the Pilot’s Watch. The category is very much alive, with plenty of new options to choose from. And going through the list of watches, you’ll see there’s plenty of room for a bit of fun, with innovative materials, unusual displays and funky colours.

The Spirit collection is a perfect embodiment of that history, blending vintage

Omega Spacemaster Z-33 Fully Reviewed - Monochrome Watches
When pulling negative G-forces, inverted and with weapons systems hot, the last thing a fighter pilot needs is an unfriendly watch. The Omega Spacemaster Z-33 is heir to the throne of the original Flightmaster and provides an ease of use that adapts to the most challenging circumstances.? Unlike the interlude with the accomplished X-33 (you really have to see this X-33 article), the Z-33 returns to its roots, but also adds some no-nonsense functionality that makes it brilliant.?With the Z-33, you will never see a cadre of clones adorning the wrists of hipsters, nor will you see anything like it on the tarmac. Ad - Scroll to continue with article I have never worn a watch that was so polarizing; people either loved it or hated it, sometimes to the extreme. These reactions were visceral, and I expect might be for the reader as well. Do you like it? Well that is al

First Look: The new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 40mm in Rose Gold PVD
60 different references… This is how wide Tissot’s best-selling collection, the sporty-elegant integrated PRX watch, has become in about 4 years. Ranging from compact and affordable quartz models to more expensive watches with gold fluted bezels and chronograph movement, and basically everything you can imagine in between (even a forged carbon edition), you’d think the PRX collection is soon to come full circle. Well, the brand is here to prove you wrong as it’s just released a new, luxurious-looking, but accessibly-priced version of the classic PRX Powermatic 80 40mm, now coated with rose gold PVD, paired with a waffle-style blue dial. Quite a cool combo, in all fairness.?At this point in the lifecycle of the Tissot PRX, I believe that it isn’t necessary to remind you what we’re talking about… The PRX is the brand’s take on the integrated sports watch category, inspired by a 1978 model, modernized to current tastes and accessible enough
