One of the bigger surprises of Basel was Seiko’s announcement of their high-end Prospex LX collection - big, chunky sports watches that feature a level of fit and finish we’ve seldom seen on a Seiko-labelled watch. And while the initial collection was a drop of six models, the one that we were most interested in, … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: A closer look at the Seiko Prospex LX SNR029J appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: This is what a heritage reissue should look like - the Seiko SLA033
Few things excite Seiko fans as much as a solid historical reissue (or re-creation in Seiko’s parlance), and this year’s limited edition, the SLA033, is about as exciting as they come. First of all, it’s based on a diver. Indeed, for many of the Seiko cognoscenti, it’s based on the diver, the 6105, a watch … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: This is what a heritage reissue should look like – the Seiko SLA033 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The edgy, architectural Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon
Hublot has been growing the Spirit of Big Bang line slowly and steadily, and though the SoBB Yellow Sapphire was quite the cool addition, this new tourbillon is (in my humble opinion) easily the best new offering in the collection. The Hublot calibre HUB6020 was designed specifically for the tonneau-shaped case of the Spirit, and … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The edgy, architectural Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

A Hublot with soft, flowing lines. Now there’s a phrase I never thought I’d write.

HANDS-ON: The Seiko Diver’s Re-creation Limited Edition SLA033
Seiko’s archive is full of exceptional and much-loved dive watches. One of the brightest lights in this pantheon is the 6105, a real workhorse of the 1970s, and a distinctive one at that - thanks to its large, cushiony case and a crown at four.
