Hands-on - 2016 Cartier Santos 100 ADLC, now back fully black and in-house (live pics, specs & price) - Monochrome Watches
With no fanfare or fireworks, quietly, in the middle of the rush of the SIHH 2016, in the luxurious salons of the Cartier booth, nearly forgotten because pushed into the background by the introduction of the Drive, Cartier introduced this year a new version of an icon, the Santos 100. Well, if the design remains the same as the previous editions, some new colors are available. No big deal… However, it was until we’ve been told this watch came for the first time with a manufacture?movement. Here is the?2016 Cartier Santos 100 ADLC, the icon back in full black and in-house.The Cartier Santos 100 isn’t a new watch.

The quartet of new Patek Philippe's we hadn't shown you yet
Earlier this week a rumour started spreading that Patek Philippe was about to launch the long-awaited successor to the iconic Nautilus 5711. And sure enough, this past Tuesday the Nautilus 5811G, in white gold, was presented. Slightly bigger in size, with minor aesthetic updates, this is set to continue the Nautilus legacy. But that was far from all, as the Maison released not one but eight new watches, including the luxurious Nautilus 5792 with power reserve, moonphase and date, the irresistible 5935A World Time Flyback Chronograph in stainless steel and salmon, and the stupendous 5373P Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph Perpetual Calendar “Destro”.

Starting with the 5402G Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calender, followed by the Nautilus 5990 Flyback Chronograph Travel Time, then on to the Nautilus Joallerie 7118 Ladies Automatic, before ending
Introducing The More Compact Oris Divers Sixty Five Chronograph
Coinciding with the advent of recreational diving, in 1965, Oris launched its first diver's watch with a unidirectional rotating bezel, luminescent numerals, a Plexiglas crystal and a water-resistance rating of 100m. Fifty years later, the diver was relaunched in a faithful re-edition with modern mechanics and went on to become the highly successful and affordable retro-flavoured Divers Sixty-Five collection. While some quibbled about the relatively low impermeability for a dive watch, others were smitten by its vintage elements, and the collection expanded with models in different case sizes and materials. In 2018, the Sixty-Five collection welcomed a limited-edition, bronze-cased chronograph followed by regular production models. Today, Oris releases a new chronograph with a more compact case size and a black dial and bezel.Former editions of the Sixty-Five Chronograph flaunted large 43mm cases coupled with some proper thickness. The latest stainless steel model shrinks to 40mm in di
