HANDS-ON: The Tudor Black Bay Bronze with slate grey dial for 2019
If there was ever a case study for the difference a dial (and bezel) can make, the 2019 edition of the Tudor Black Bay Bronze with its slate grey dial is that watch. The new colour is subtle, and executed in a sophisticated manner, making for a dramatic improvement on the now discontinued khaki/brown version. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Tudor Black Bay Bronze with slate grey dial for 2019 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

RECOMMENDED READING: Omega are making us thirsty with this Casamigos Planet Ocean

When the time came to see Omega’s 2019 collection I was pretty sure I knew what I was going to see, and what I was going to like. Speedmasters (obvs) and Seamasters mostly.

RECOMMENDED READING: 5 watchmaking manufactures you need to know
‘Manufacture’ is one of those watchmaking buzzwords you hear fairly frequently. Basically, it’s a fancy word for factory, but in the slow-moving and hallowed halls of horology it’s so much more.

INTRODUCING: The Glashütte Original SeaQ
Think Glashütte Original and the chances are good that ‘diver’ isn’t a category that immediately springs to mind.
