HANDS-ON: Tantalising Tantalum – the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition

Tantalum, what’s that, I hear you say. Well, allow me to explain. Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant bluish-grey metal with an extreme hardness and high boiling point. Which are the exact qualities you want in a dive watch, but also qualities that make Tantalum incredibly difficult to work with – and the reason why the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Tantalising Tantalum – the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Wonderfully restrained – Tudor’s Black Bay 41 Blue

Now, it may shock you to learn that not everyone wants a watch bedecked with bezels, chronographs, and other functionality to complicate the equation.

HANDS-ON: Pop a cork and celebrate – the Tudor Black Bay S&G; now comes with a champagne dial

Last year’s release of the Black Bay S&G; was something of a slow burn. In the heat of the initial announcements, all eyes were on the impressive Black Bay Chrono. As time passed, people seemed to realise what a looker the steel and gold was - no doubt helped by the fact that it was prominently … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Pop a cork and celebrate – the Tudor Black Bay S&G; now comes with a champagne dial appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Raymond Weil’s latest Freelancer Chronograph looks the business

Raymond Weil’s latest take on their sporty Freelancer Chronograph is – to be blunt – really good-looking. Fundamentally, it’s the same as Freelancer chronos we’ve seen before: 42mm steel case, bulletproof RW500 movement, 12,6,9 subdial layout, day/date and screw-down crown and pushers. It’s a solid piece of kit. What’s new, though, is the colour way. Silver … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Raymond Weil’s latest Freelancer Chronograph looks the business appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: A classic in its purest form – the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 with white and black dials

One of the real hits from Rolex’s 2015 collection was the (now discontinued) Oyster Perpetual 39 (ref. 114300), a bare bones, simple steel timepiece that was still pure Rolex. Initially offered in a range of youthful, colourful dials, this year the Oyster Perpetual family expanded to include white and black dial variants, and they are, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A classic in its purest form – the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 with white and black dials appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If you’ve been following us, or Bulgari for that matter, you’ll already know that this year is the year of the Octo.

There are few things I love more than a watch that surprises me. It’s something that doesn’t happen near enough for my liking, but it happened with this Longines.

What do whales, chronographs and solar charging have in common?

HANDS-ON: Blue moon rising – Raymond Weil’s Maestro Moon Phase

Call me a romantic, but the moon phase complication is amongst my favourites. Paradoxically, it’s also amongst the least functional - tracking the waxing and waning of our most significant satellite isn’t something that’s high on my list of life priorities. And when the topic does come up, I can, you know, look at the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Blue moon rising – Raymond Weil’s Maestro Moon Phase appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It’s not unusual to see high-flyers Bell & Ross take inspiration from the world of aviation. In fact, it’s almost expected. However, the latest addition to their “Horo” label does it with a far more “grounded” perspective. Finding its muse in the practical aesthetic of an airport runway.

Grand Seiko’s Snowflake (the more evocative name for the SBGA211 née SBGA011) is undoubtedly one of the most popular watches in their line-up, and understandably so. With its titanium case, seductive Spring Drive movement and one of the best-loved dials in the business, it’s remained unchanged (reference number and dial naming convention) since 2010 (see … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Golden Snowflake – Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive SBGA259 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If we’re guilty of one thing when it comes to Longines watches here at Time+Tide, it’s that we maybe focus a little too hard on their heritage heat.

HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 Day-Date

It’s easy to think of the Carrera as purely a collection of chronographs, as that complication is where its roots and, indeed, heart lies. But for a long time the TAG Heuer Carrera has been about more than just sports timers. It’s evolved into something more, a shorthand for sports pedigree and precision.

They say your 50s are the new 30s. I’m not sure who ‘they’ are, and why exactly they say that.

Review: Hands on with the new Zenith Defy Zero G

Zenith redefines its Gravity Control with the new Defy Zero G. The watch uses the gimbal concept to house the escapement, which adds a gyroscopic element to timekeeping. Visually, the watch is stunning as is it a technically challenging production.

Every year, the Bell & Ross design team goes nuts with an incredible and (sadly) hypothetical vehicular creation.
