Aged Steel: This Edox Skydiver Looks 300 Years Old

Aged Steel: This Limited-Edition Edox Skydiver Looks 300 Years Old

For this new self-winding Skydiver Date 80126-3VIN-GDN, Edox used an undisclosed manufacturing process that gave the watch an interesting “Aged Steel” (this is literally how they call it) look. Even though the caliber inside the Skydiver is simple and, well, nonspecific, the vintage-styled watch still deserves some attention.

Frederique Constant Peking to Paris Limited Edition

Frederique Constant Peking to Paris Automatic Limited Edition review (ref. FC-303WBRP5B6)

The 2016 limited-edition Frederique Constant Peking to Paris (ref. FC-303WBRP5B6) may not be revolutionary or groundbreaking in any meaning of the words, but it is still an interesting (albeit a tad overpriced) timekeeper for a person interested in a nice three-hander with a just a grain of sportiness to it. While the “limited edition” part may be a bit gimmicky (in a sense that you can’t seriously expect a piece limited to almost 2900 units to become a rarity in any foreseeable future,) all the rest is legit: it is an expertly designed, solidly built piece that is powered by a robust mechanism.

Alpina Introduces “Vintage” Seastrong Diver Heritage Line

April 29, 2016

Alpina Seastrong Diver Heritage Automatic (refs. AL-525S4H6 & AL-525G4H6) review

The 2016 Alpina Seastrong Diver Heritage (refs. AL-525S4H6 & AL-525G4H6) collection is a reference to the brand’s “days of independence.” Back in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, the company introduced one beautiful model after another. Although I can’t call it a real “homage” (and I like that it is not,) this new pair of timepieces does a good job at recreating the spirit of the days long gone. Perhaps, the only thing that somehow devalues these gorgeous retro-styled models -besides the fact that, differing so much from other members of the Seastrong family, it needed to become a foundation of a completely new collection- is the simple mass-produced mechanism: each of these beauties just screams for a hand-wound NOS job!

Chr. Ward C5 Malvern Slimline Square Hand-Wound

Chr. Ward C5 Malvern Slimline Square Hand-Wound watch review

Equipped with a hand-wound Swiss-made movement, the 2016 Chr. Ward C5 Malvern Slimline Square makes a strong impression. In fact, this new accessory, as deceptively unsophisticated as it is, may become one of the halo models for the British brand all over the civilized world, at least when it comes to people who can appreciate real beauty.

Vintage Vibes Intensify: 2015 Oris Divers Sixty-Five

June 25, 2015

Oris Divers Sixty-Five Automatic wristwatch review

First revealed at the Baselworld 2015 trade show, the 2015 Oris Divers Sixty-Five (ref. 01 733 7747 4055-07 4 17 18) automatic diver pays homage to a classic model from 1965. Although it is absolutely not a true reissue (even the choice of the movement makes it a different model), the Sixty-Five makes a strong impression and will be a wonderful choice for a person who wants to buy something “vintage”, but with brand new guts to power it.

Monk Always Know: Oris Thelonious Monk 733 7712 4085

March 25, 2015

Oris Thelonious Monk Limited Edition Automatic (Ref. 733 7712 4085)

Known for its love for music (among others, its limited editions include homages to such legends as Frank Sinatra, John Coltrane, and Dexter Gordon) Oris has recently introduced its limited-edition Thelonious Monk (ref. 733 7712 4085). Although in certain respects this new model may look unfamiliar to a person who usually associates the brand with its gorgeous chronographs and bulky divers, it is, in fact, deeply rooted in the Manufacture’s philosophy of industrial design. As the legendary sculptor of the past, they took a piece of metal and removed everything that didn’t belong there leaving only the essential elements that make an ordinary accessory a masterpiece.
