HANDS-ON: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean “Big Blue” lives up to its name
While one of the key trends of Basel 2017 is a move towards more wrist-friendly dive watches (see exhibits A and B), there’s no doubt that big and bold is still the name of the game. Omega’s latest PO, the “Big Blue”, delivers on both fronts, thanks to its whopping 45.5mm wide by 17.8mm high … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean “Big Blue” lives up to its name appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

EDITOR’S PICK: Going back to Cali with the Panerai PAM 629 video review
Much like the state they’re named for, California (or Cali) dials have something inherently cool and playful about them.

And make no mistake, this is an incredibly lust-worthy watch. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Panerai’s Midas touch – the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Oro Rosso (PAM 684) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
