VIDEO: Omega’s Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m gets a meaningful makeover

It’s easy to get distracted by the brightest, shiniest watches of Baselworld; the watches that live up to the marketing parlance of ‘novelties’. But sometimes the real winners are the quiet achievers. I suspect Omega’s redesigned Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m will be one of these winners. The AT (as it’s often called) has long been … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Omega’s Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m gets a meaningful makeover appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We knew it, as soon as we tried it on.

HANDS-ON: The updated Bell & Ross BR S Rose Gold sits squarely between the sexes

When it comes to watches that are described as unisex, quite honestly, very few do a good job of straddling the gender divide equally. Sure, there are plenty of women who’ll happily wear hefty, so-called masculine watches, but it’s a rare Aussie bloke who’ll strap into anything involving diamonds and pastels, even if it’s marketed evenly … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The updated Bell & Ross BR S Rose Gold sits squarely between the sexes appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

OPINION: Why the Oris Artelier Skeleton Diamonds is a modern feminist watch

For much of the industry, the motto when it comes to designing watches for women appears to be: “Make it sparkle so brightly they won’t notice there’s a battery inside.” Happily, that’s not the case here, because the Oris Artelier Skeleton Diamonds is one of an all-too-rare breed: a ladies’ watch that’s impressive both as a … ContinuedThe post OPINION: Why the Oris Artelier Skeleton Diamonds is a modern feminist watch appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato in steel – is it a steal?

Let’s get this out of the way early on. Does the Girard-Perregaux Laureato share some visual similarities with other well-known luxury steel sports watches? Sure, but we can easily think of half a dozen watches that fit that particular bill. AP and Patek don’t have a monopoly on ’70s design. And make no mistake, the Laureato … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato in steel – is it a steal? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS: The Da Vinci Automatic shows the gentler side of IWC

For years IWC has staked its claim as being one of the biggest, baddest and most masculine of the major Swiss brands. Recently though, we’ve sensed a change in the wind. In 2014 they released the delicate Portofino, and last year their more petite pilot had women firmly in its sights. That’s set to continue for … ContinuedThe post GONE IN 60 SECONDS: The Da Vinci Automatic shows the gentler side of IWC appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

In terms surprises, at Christmas or at any other time, Omega releasing a new Speedmaster does not rank (sorry Omegamaniacs). In the last few years we’ve seen Speedies offered in every colour and design under the sun. That said, their latest, the in-no-way-economically named Speedmaster Moonphase Chronograph Master Chronometer is, in fact, pretty eye-opening, mouth-watering and wallet-tempting.

HANDS ON: the elegant double act of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Moon

As far as origin stories go, the Reverso has one of the best. Back in the 1930s, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most famous model was conceived to withstand the rigours of polo, thanks to its ingenious flip-over case design. When the mallets started swinging and balls went flying, the watch could safely bury its face until the action … ContinuedThe post HANDS ON: the elegant double act of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Moon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Review: Richard Mille RM 27-02 Rafael Nadal

Famously worn on the wrist of Rafael Nadal, the Richard Mille RM27 is truly the epitome of sports watches as of this moment. Anyone who knows mechanical watches or watches in general can certainly comprehend that shock to a watch is like an earthquake to a wooden hut. Destructive and when at certain magnitudes, tantamount to utter destruction.
