IN-DEPTH: Is this the best heritage watch of 2016? The Oris Divers Sixty-Five 42mm
Story in a second No risk of second-album syndrome here – this slightly larger take on the Divers Sixty-Five is a worthy, if slightly more mainstream, follow-up to the original release. There must be something good in the water at Hölstein, because Oris has been on fire lately. The 100% mechanical brand has always had … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: Is this the best heritage watch of 2016? The Oris Divers Sixty-Five 42mm appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Field Test: Blancpain Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung
“Coast Guard, this is motor-vessel Bonsai, we have a missing diver in the water. Repeat, missing diver.” I scanned the choppy water as we motored in increasing arcs, realising the near-impossibility of spotting a person in the 7ft (2m) swells. I’d rehearsed this scenario in my head a hundred times, but nothing could prepare me […]

Pre-Basel 2015: Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon
Ever since the invention of the earliest water clocks, physics and gravity have affected our efforts to measure time precisely. Liquid-filled clocks ran faster when full, because higher pressure at the bottom of the vessel caused the water to drain more quickly. Springs provided a technological step forward, but not a complete solution, because they […]

Bottom Time: Tudor Pelagos
Motoring slowly along the line of buoys, five of us leaned over the starboard gunwale, scanning the clear water through polarized lenses. It had been a quiet day with no sharks in sight - unless you count the lazy nurse sharks begging for bait scraps in the marina. We’d spent languid hours between line checks […]

Hublot’s Fusion With Lake Geneva Regatta
Some say that one of the reasons of Geneva’s success as one of the watchmaking capitals in the world is thanks to the mythical powers of Lake Geneva. Those who have every seen it in real life must admit that looking over this vast body of deep blue water surrounded by the high peaks for […]

Panerai Reminds Us Of Their Iconic Dial Design In Singapore
The prototypical Panerai is easily recognised from a distance, thanks in part to the iconic crown guard flanking the case. This feature was added as a revision to the earlier “Radomir”, with the intention of adding a crown protecting bridge that would prevent water from entering the case. This shape that these two elements formed […]

A Dash Of Camouflage: Graham Chronofighter Oversize Black Arrow
Even manufacturers of die-hard, professional military watches like Marathon and Stocker & Yale don’t do it: camouflage the dial of their watches. This is for good reason since legibility is key when entering a war zone. But like many divers watches that never see water apart from the occasional pool, many military inspired watches will […]

The Seamaster Aqua Terra > 15’000 gauss
One of the most dramatic technological innovations in recent memory is the OMEGA Co-Axial caliber 8508. It is resistant to magnetic fields greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss), far exceeding the levels of magnetic resistance achieved by any previous watch movement and solving a problem that has challenged watchmakers for many decades. The mechanical movement […]

Experiment ZR012; Blackout In Singapore
One of the watches that proofed that we are truly living in the Renaissance of the mechanical watch was Experiment ZR012 from C3H5N3O9. This joint-venture of Urwerk and MB&F; took high end watchmaking even a step further than we are accustomed of these already revolutionary brands. Main focal point in this piece de resistance is […]

Omega and Planet Ocean
Pollution, overfishing, oil spills, climate change and acidification are all familiar terms, especially to those who are environmentally conscious. And yet because many don’t see what is happening under the water’s surface, perhaps most people tend not to be too overly concerned with oceanic issues. A new documentary entitled Plant Ocean aims to change all that. With support […]

HYT H1: Hydro Mechanical Watch…tres intersting.
The HYT watch broke new ground when it was introduced in Basel in 2012. Interesting because the concept of showing time in a continuous fashion using water has existed since the begining of civilizations…both the Chinese and the ancient Egyptians. And yet, with the HYT, a most advanced methodology is used to allow liquids toRead More

Smart Money Hot City, Cool Watches
It’s an old story: boy meets dive watch, boy gets dive watch, boy gets a lot of snarky flak from people who ask him why he wears a dive watch when the deepest body of water he ever gets into comes in a porcelain tub, with spigots marked “Hot” and “Cold”. Oh, ye of little […]
