There is something inherently fascinating about seeing a watch movement emerge from its case. After however many years of seeing this great reveal, I never get over it.

Cartier may be better known for simple timekeeping classics like the Tank or the Santos.

If you’re a regular reader of Time+Tide it should come as no surprise to learn that I’m a fan of Seiko.

Dive watches, thanks in part to their function-before-form ideology, can often be, well, formulaic. Seiko’s bold gold SSC618P manages to buck the trend in a few ways. Firstly, and most obviously, they’ve dressed up rugged steel with an unmissable rose gold coating, which must surely increase visibility underwater, as it’s certainly eye-catching on land. Then … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Solar flair – Seiko’s stylish Prospex SSC618P appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
