Who knew USSR watches would have been impacted by political, social, and economical factors all the way back in the Middle ages?
All the clever, novel watches with fresh complications – from the likes of Manufacture Royale, Jaquet Droz and Chanel – will enjoy deep coverage from the rest of our team, so I gave myself a different task: pick the five that I’d purchase with my own cash. It doesn’t get more honest than that.

Dive watches, almost by their very definition, tend to be oversized creatures from the deep. Historically the reasons for the chunky cases and gargantuan proportions were very clear, these watches were pushing the boundaries of what was possible – serious tools for a serious purpose.

One watch leapt out at me from Oris’ 2017 collection – the Chronoris Date. Not only is the colour scheme and tonneau case shape pretty eye-catching, but it’s also an honest and authentic homage to the timepieces of the ‘70s. In fact the Chronoris name refers to a 1970 design that was the brand’s first … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Seventies style at its best – the Oris Chronoris Date appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Mike also shares the details on the first watch he wore after the fast! :) And obviously now that the dust has settled, Kaz is thinking of doing a #watchfast as well, but with his fiancee's Casio MDV106... anyone in the #watchfam care to talk him off the ledge?

Mike and Kaz talk shop with some of the early Baselworld 2017 releases that've been coming out... surprisingly they're quite excited about a few of them! In particular Kaz is super into the new rederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture - so much so that he even chokes on his thin mints (you heard me). On the flip side, the newest Rolex Sea-Dweller has the snobs perplexed as hell.

Editor’s Note: Bell & Ross released a toned down vintage model this year, the first in their ‘3rd Generation’ vintage armada, with a flatter case and a smaller diameter. It’s a strong piece, with notable improvements to quality like screw-down chronograph pushers, but it’s in a monochromatic rather than colourful mood. Which made us think of … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: The most popular Bell & Ross vintage model yet, the glittering BR 126 Aeronavale appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
