EDITOR’S PICK: Tudor’s Black Bay Chrono -  greater than the sum of its parts?

Editor’s note: The thing I love most about Tudor is their capacity to surprise. They get me every single time. I mean, every time a new watch is announced I know it’s probably going to be a Black Bay, but they still manage to defy expectations. And that’s exactly what they did last year, with … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: Tudor’s Black Bay Chrono – greater than the sum of its parts? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

EMG Watches Review: The Nemo Diver

I was approached by Eddy Tse - one of the gentlemen behind EMG watches - who then handed me a little yellow dive watch before asserting, "Hey my name is Ed, and this is a watch we're working on."

MY MONTH WITH: The Tudor Black Bay GMT

When the Tudor Black Bay GMT debuted this year at Basel it would’ve been easy to describe it as being overshadowed by the much-hyped Rolex GMT that was also showcased. But it’s not that simple.

HANDS-ON: Tantalising Tantalum - the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition

Tantalum, what’s that, I hear you say. Well, allow me to explain. Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant bluish-grey metal with an extreme hardness and high boiling point. Which are the exact qualities you want in a dive watch, but also qualities that make Tantalum incredibly difficult to work with – and the reason why the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Tantalising Tantalum – the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Ep. #93 Bright Dials & Dive Watches

So what's the deal with brightly colored dive watches and the design manufacturers pursue for the sake of legibility under water? Are these models more desirable or functional than others? Why are some brightly colored Seikos so difficult to find?

Timex x Greats Bayman Dive Watch

One of the first things people might notice about this watch is its size and sand-blasted case. At 43mm, it's pushing the limits for me personally but for something as casual and carefree as the Bayman, I think the size works together with the overall vibe.
