Bringing one of the most badly abused Omega Speedmasters we’ve ever seen back from the dead
It takes a lot of physical abuse to make a watch as iconic as an Omega Speedmaster verge on unrecognisable. But the owner of this watch tried. When photos of a badly beaten 1969 Omega Speedmaster started doing the rounds on Instagram, it had our immediate attention. So many questions: What the hell are ‘welding … ContinuedThe post Bringing one of the most badly abused Omega Speedmasters we’ve ever seen back from the dead appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Chronograph
The Grande Seconde is perhaps Jaquet Droz’s most recognisable design, with an outsize second hand and characteristic figure 8 layout that you can spot from across a room. It’s also a versatile design that’s been called into service for a range of complications. But never a chronograph. Until this week’s release of the Jaquet Droz … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Glashütte Original SeaQ
Think Glashütte Original and the chances are good that ‘diver’ isn’t a category that immediately springs to mind. The German brand is known for many things – from 3/4 plates to Panorama dates – but undersea adventure isn’t really one of them. That’s not to say that the brand doesn’t have form in the area. … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Glashütte Original SeaQ appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Introducing the Cartier Santos Chronograph
The Cartier Santos sees a major design upgrade with its newly cased line. Notably, the profile of the case, bezel and thickness have become more streamlined. The new case also features a quick release strap design, reminiscent of smart watches -- think Fitbit, Apple Watch. But what really makes this design great again and still a novelty despite its otherwise 'fashionable' status lies in the movement of the new Santos de Cartier Chronograph.

INTRODUCING: The Blancpain Air Command
When we were shown the new Blancpain products at Time to Move, we expected to see Fifty Fathoms and Villeret. We did not expect a pilot’s chronograph.

INTRODUCING: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph
The Seamaster Planet Ocean, with its bright orange details, is a favourite in the modern Omega lineup, a compelling combination of brightness and brown.

INTRODUCING: The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms ‘Nageurs de Combat’
Like it or not, the origin story of Blancpain’s famous diver is inseparable from that of naval warfare. The development of the original watch was driven by two men, Captain Robert Maloubier and Lieutenant Claude Riffaud, who were in charge of a newly formed French unit, the Combat Swimmers - or Nageurs de Combat. They … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms ‘Nageurs de Combat’ appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition in steel (with a bit of gold)
Earlier in the year, Omega celebrated 50 years of Man stepping off our terrestrial sphere with the release of a very faithful reissue of the 1969 commemorative gold Speedmaster (even though the alloy itself is very new). But everyone kind of figured that wouldn’t be the only celebratory Speedy to step out of the brand’s … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition in steel (with a bit of gold) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
