Thank goodness – for we rarely encounter a watch … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Around the world with the Breguet Classique Hora Mundi ref. 5717 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Nov 1, 2018

VIDEO: An ideal daily diver, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in black ceramic 

Blancpain’s Bathyscaphe is one of those rare, chameleonic watch designs. A watch that, broadly speaking, owes great fidelity to its primogenitor, but a watch that doesn’t look dated. It’s a neutral watch - something that gives the Bathyscaphe broad appeal and great versatility. In steel, it’s a classic, traditional dive watch, but here, in black … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: An ideal daily diver, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in black ceramic  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

When Raymond Weil designed the Calibre RW1212, their first ever in-house design (produced by Sellita), I suspect part of the mandate was to show it off, hence the open escapement prominently on display - literally showing off a movement they’re rightfully proud of.

INTRODUCING: Bremont returns to the deep with new Supermarine S501 and updated S500 models

The Bremont Supermarine, first released in 2009, has long been a serious dive watch, and one that stood out from the rest of the submersible pack. Last year, Bremont released the S300, a smaller, more civilian-friendly take on the genre that was, unsurprisingly, wildly popular. So it was inevitable that the larger S500 received a … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Bremont returns to the deep with new Supermarine S501 and updated S500 models appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
