One of the most exciting watches of last year was the significantly revamped Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, a modern icon of the brand that managed to sneak into both Andrew’s and my own ‘best of 2018’ lists (so it must be good).

My last list - a trio of well-priced SIHH offerings - could be neatly broken down into a loose theme of air, sea and land.

This price bracket is a sweet spot for SIHH and the going gets tough when it comes to picking the standouts.

When Hublot announced its partnership with French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski back in 2017, I guess you could say I was intrigued.

Look, I’m going to be honest with you. Believe it or not, SIHH doesn’t have a whole lot on offer in the sub $10,000 category.
