VIDEO: 5 winning Bulgaris from Baselworld 2018
While I know Bulgari released a full suite of new models at Baselworld 2018 - including a nice new Lucea and variants on the Octo Roma - really, it was all about their geometric critical hit, the Octo. And while we didn’t exactly see the Octo come in new shapes and sizes (it’s still very square), we … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: 5 winning Bulgaris from Baselworld 2018 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

In the opening scene of this video, which was shot on the final day of Baselworld 2018, I say to Felix, “We’re doing a list?!” with a type of delirious, high-pitched Seinfeldian disbelief.

Seeing Seiko at Basel 2018 can be a pretty overwhelming experience. There’s. Just. So. Many. Watches. Trays and trays of them.

INTRODUCING: The Oris Divers Sixty-Five Bi-Colour – a bronze and steel option in 40mm and 36mm
Without a doubt, the standout hit for Oris in recent years has been the Divers Sixty-Five, and for good reason, mind you. First released in 2015, it remained faithful to its inspiration – a model from (you guessed it) 1965 – and nailed the vintage vibe. Instantly becoming a crowd-favourite, and quickly followed up by … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Oris Divers Sixty-Five Bi-Colour – a bronze and steel option in 40mm and 36mm appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

IN-DEPTH: The Omega Seamaster Railmaster
The story in a second: Behind the ultra-hyped trilogy models lays this cool, calm and not-in-any-way limited take on the Railmaster. Odd as it may seem today, but many of the enduring designs of mid-twentieth century watchmaking sprang from a very specific purpose: scientific exploration and the quest for accuracy.

Late last year, Seiko announced a series of limited edition Prospex divers, featuring blacked-out cases and the evocative name of ‘The Black Series’.

The name of this watch gives much away about its romantic, dare we even say, poetic roots. Seiko do not usually name their watches. This makes them very difficult to tell your friends about.
