RECOMMENDED READING: The Tissot 1973 Chronograph is funk-tastic

Man, Tissot has a great back catalogue. That’s a fact that’s easy to forget sometimes, especially as the Swatch Group brand is a big player in a more modern, sporty space.  But they’ve certainly got some great heritage pieces (like the OG Visodate) in their lineup, and this on point ’70s wonder, the Tissot Heritage … ContinuedThe post RECOMMENDED READING: The Tissot 1973 Chronograph is funk-tastic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Montblanc have their sights set on adventure with the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere

Editor’s note: I’m on a bit of a travel watch trip at the moment. And, to my mind, they fall into two distinct camps: high-flyers and adventurers. Montblanc’s 1858 Geosphere, which is a few years old now, definitely falls into the latter category. Now, it’s up to you where on the roughing-it-to-luxury spectrum that adventure … ContinuedThe post Montblanc have their sights set on adventure with the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Watch brands love to hang their proverbial hat on the strength and resilience of their timepieces, but oftentimes these claims are just that - claims.

Review: Seiko 1970 Diver’s Re-Creation Limited Edition SLA033

When the original 1970’s Seiko diver’s watch was created, its designers had only one thought in mind; to build a diver’s watch that delivered the reliability, durability, precision and legibility that serious adventurers required. Little did they know that a subsequent version of the watch with this same characteristic case design was destined to develop a worldwide following and earn the affectionate and unforgettable nickname of the “turtle”.
