EDITOR’S PICK: 5 sports luxury watches that deliver on both fronts
Editor’s note: The watch industry is, in general, pretty big on segmentation. According to them, we should be wearing something different for every different activity in our lives. But that way madness lies. I’m a fan of watches that fit a range of purposes, and ranges don’t come much wider than sports AND luxury. So, … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: 5 sports luxury watches that deliver on both fronts appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Tantalum, what’s that, I hear you say. Well, allow me to explain. Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant bluish-grey metal with an extreme hardness and high boiling point. Which are the exact qualities you want in a dive watch, but also qualities that make Tantalum incredibly difficult to work with – and the reason why the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Tantalising Tantalum – the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
