Looking for a great all-rounder that won’t break the bank? How about the Longines Master Collection Annual Calendar?
Editor’s note: For whatever reason, I’m on a bit of a back-to-basics kick at the moment. I mean, high complications and high price tags are all well and good, but sometimes you crave the simpler things in life. And I guess for me, right now, the simpler things are watches.

HANDS-ON: The IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Spitfire hits the mark
The Mark XI was the first watch that really got me ‘into’ watches, and it has endured over the decades as an icon of good, utilitarian design.
