After many of our posts on social media, and the feedback that we received in the comments, I wanted to take a moment to explore part of my horological journey as I transitioned from watch enthusiast to watch journalist, and where watchspotting fits into the equation.

Though I try to fight it, I can’t help but divide my collection into categories with accompanying check boxes; dress, diver, military etc. Many say this is a terrible way to collect, yet more than anything, I love how this forces me to experience different styles and aesthetics that I normally would not. Furthermore, in … ContinuedThe post Help! I want a pilot’s watch but can’t decide which of these five options to buy… appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

On my wrist is something that embodies many a daydream. Jaques-Yves Costeau, Dirk Pitt, sixties cool and the carefree life of mid-century Europe in the summer.

It’s always hard to call something a bargain over $2000AUD, and as Seiko’s releases in the upper price brackets balloon, the line between Seiko and Grand Seiko grows ever so slightly blurrier.

I love pilot’s watches and their cool monochrome aesthetics, but I don’t have the beefy arms to pull off a 44-46mm IWC.
