1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (437+ words) Orient Star has announced the Sakigake Three Hand, and I think the easiest way to understand this watch is to look at everything that disappeared. There’s no date. There’s no power-reserve indicator. The dial text has been cut down to…...

5+ day, 2+ hour ago   (584+ words) Co-Founder & Senior Editor Michael Peñate is an American writer, photographer, and podcaster based in Seattle, Washington. His work typically focuses on the passage of time and the tools we use to connect with that very journey. From aviation to music…...

6+ day, 6+ hour ago   (211+ words) Overall, the Ocean 39 GMT works best for someone who wants a compact travel watch that can also shrug off water, with the caveat that its diver-style hardware isn’t always optimized for GMT duties. The textured dial carries the same sandy…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (238+ words) After wearing both, we think the Mido Ocean Star 200 holds up remarkably well against the Submariner. The Rolex is the more refined watch, and that is obvious once it’s on the wrist. But our question isn’t whether the Sub is…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (329+ words) Tudor has brought back one of the stranger watches from its modern catalog. The North Flag, discontinued in 2021 after a relatively under-the-radar six-year run, has returned as the Northflag with a GMT movement, a revised case, and enough changes to…...

2+ week, 6+ hour ago   (947+ words) I’ve been diving even deeper into mil-spec field watches this year (obviously), and at some point I knew I wanted to spend time with the Benrus DTU-2A/P. In my mind, it represents one of the better attempts at producing…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago   (279+ words) Christopher Ward has never been particularly shy about poking at the traditional Swiss watch industry. With its new C60 Trident Biscay collection, though, the brand has made the target unusually obvious. The accompanying campaign uses the headline “Mock Tudor,” ostensibly referencing…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (329+ words) There are plenty of ways to make a limited-edition dive watch look different. New colors are easy. Changing the dial material is increasingly common. Nodus and Holme & Hadfield took a cooler route with their new Sector II Dive H&H…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago   (1360+ words) The difference is also emotional. The Sub’s polished case and ceramic bezel feel more formal and imposing than the Black Bay, and there’s no getting away from the fact that wearing one carries some baggage. We’ve felt that ourselves: the…...

3+ week, 6+ hour ago   (407+ words) The practical stuff is covered, too: 200 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown, solid caseback, and 22mm lugs give you plenty of flexibility when you want to move between rubber, nylon, or a bracelet. The brushed surfaces, polished case sides, and…...
