Seiko SNE537 Review: Seiko Prospex Street Series
My first impression was that I made a good choice. Yes, the Seiko SNE537 is 47mm wide but it looks, feels, and wears a lot smaller. It has many different surfaces and finishes all visible at once yet they work together nicely.

Spending a month with a beaten-up Omega Seamaster 300 – a watch that wears its scars proudly
Editor’s note: I’ve got a thing for beaten-up watches. It shows they’ve lived a life, and that their owners aren’t thinking primarily about resale value. They’re watches being worn in the spirit in which they’re made. And that’s a good thing. A few months ago I ended up wearing the Omega Seamaster 300 for a … ContinuedThe post Spending a month with a beaten-up Omega Seamaster 300 – a watch that wears its scars proudly appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Flat Skeleton 5395
Last year, Breguet introduced a stunningly simple, surprisingly asymmetrical addition to the Classique family, the Tourbillon Extra-Flat.

Editor’s note: This year, Panerai made the Submersible a line in its own right, and honestly, we’re wondering what took them so long. It’s a design that - as demonstrated admirably by the Panerai Submersible 1950 Amagnetic (PAM 1389) here - possesses equal parts brawn, bravura and beauty … Way back in 2013, Panerai released the PAM 389, … ContinuedThe post Solid as a rock –the Panerai Submersible 1950 Amagnetic 3 Days Automatic Titanio (PAM 1389) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Hemel Watches Review: HM Swiss Hemel Justice
Being only 10mm thick, the watch fits perfectly under any shirt or jacket and the curved (and drilled) lugs let the watch hug your wrist like it was made for it. The screw down case back continues the bead-blasted theme and contains segments that give you all the info on the watch: sapphire crystal, 316L, 100m water resistance and so on and so forth.
