Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer Nov 27, 2017

VIDEO: The Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer gets our motor running

Given how synonymous Omega’s Speedmaster is with space in general and the moon in particular, it’s quite easy to forget that the watch was originally designed with motorsports in mind. This year, Omega set out to remind us that the Speedmaster does not always equal Moonwatch, with the Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer, a big, 44.5mm … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer gets our motor running appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Let’s face it, women are not buying women’s watches necessarily; they want a watch that does not discriminate, with a bit of bravado, whether by means baller or boxer. That said, the full diamond effect in every direction, of the kind that was Hublot’s 2 million Euro 44mm 145-ct Big Bang behemoth, with its baguette-laden … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Get in the bling – Hublot’s Big Bang Steel Diamonds is a knockout appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
