HANDS-ON: Sun and sea combined – the Seiko Prospex ‘Save The Ocean’ SSC675P

What do whales, chronographs and solar charging have in common? And no, I’m not talking about a hypothetical scheme involving Elon Musk, and the launching of an around the world race, with solar-powered propellers attached to specially trained whales.

They say your 50s are the new 30s. I’m not sure who ‘they’ are, and why exactly they say that.

Well, this year marks 55 years of the TAG Heuer Carrera, and … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 01 in black ceramic – 55 years on and still going strong appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

SPOTTED! BY AG: Dispatch 12, July 2018 – A Heuer-heavy edition

This month was an interesting one, and, as you’ll see, jam-packed with one particular brand.
