INTRODUCING: The Bulova 1972 Oceanographer ‘Devil Diver’ reissue
In case you missed it, Bulova launched their ‘Archive Series Collection’ in 2016, aimed at paying tribute to the brand’s heritage. They kicked off the collection with the Lunar Pilot Chronograph, which, if I’m honest, was a little underwhelming – the current competition for reissues is just too hot right now, and the Lunar Pilot … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Bulova 1972 Oceanographer ‘Devil Diver’ reissue appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Solar flair - Seiko’s stylish Prospex SSC618P
Dive watches, thanks in part to their function-before-form ideology, can often be, well, formulaic. Seiko’s bold gold SSC618P manages to buck the trend in a few ways. Firstly, and most obviously, they’ve dressed up rugged steel with an unmissable rose gold coating, which must surely increase visibility underwater, as it’s certainly eye-catching on land. Then … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Solar flair – Seiko’s stylish Prospex SSC618P appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Red alert - could you wear Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Red Sapphire?
There’s something about the colour red. In nature it symbolises danger, in human culture it’s got a more complex set of meanings: typically passion, strength, desire – emotion writ large. Which is why this glistening red sapphire confection is the logical extension of Hublot’s journey into sapphire. Not only does the vivid case amplify all … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Red alert – could you wear Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Red Sapphire? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: The Cartier Tank Américaine, now in steel
As Sandra so helpfully informed us yesterday, Cartier introduced the Tank Américaine in 1989.

For years, Ulysse Nardin has been something of an insider’s brand with a solid heritage and catalogue boasting some legitimately impressive horology (we’re looking at you, Freak).
