JLC’s Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic is the definition of tacticool

Editor’s note: Whether you’re a wannabe operator or just in love with the stealth appeal of ceramic, this JLC is pretty much the definition of tacticool, even with the blue details. Based on the coverage of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s SIHH releases, it’d be fair to assume the brand put out nothing but dressy Reversos this year. Well, that’s … ContinuedThe post JLC’s Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic is the definition of tacticool appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Tudor ? Editor’s note When Apr 4, 2019

Is the North Flag the forgotten Tudor?

Editor’s note: When it was first released, waaaaay back in 2015, the North Flag was a big deal. So much so that the main question in our review was whether or not Tudor was planning to move beyond their heritage core. Well, history has answered that question (heritage is here to stay), but that doesn’t … ContinuedThe post Is the North Flag the forgotten Tudor? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: This is what a heritage reissue should look like – the Seiko SLA033

Few things excite Seiko fans as much as a solid historical reissue (or re-creation in Seiko’s parlance), and this year’s limited edition, the SLA033, is about as exciting as they come. First of all, it’s based on a diver. Indeed, for many of the Seiko cognoscenti, it’s based on the diver, the 6105, a watch … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: This is what a heritage reissue should look like – the Seiko SLA033 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Baselworld 2019 was a fairly subdued affair, but that didn’t stop me from ferreting out three (very very different) pieces that reminded me what my love of watches was all about.

INSIGHT: Legitimately unique; why Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers department is unlike any other

I’ll be frank: even using the word “unique” in this feature – let alone in its title – is dangerous territory. In this era of overblown, overhyped, and over-exaggerated positioning by brands and their marketing machines filled with a youthful and often naive “we are the next big thing!” mentality, words like unique are thrown around with impunity pretty much every … ContinuedThe post INSIGHT: Legitimately unique; why Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers department is unlike any other appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Seiko Diver’s Re-creation Limited Edition SLA033

Seiko’s archive is full of exceptional and much-loved dive watches. One of the brightest lights in this pantheon is the 6105, a real workhorse of the 1970s, and a distinctive one at that - thanks to its large, cushiony case and a crown at four. And while the visuals of the watch certainly didn’t hurt, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Seiko Diver’s Re-creation Limited Edition SLA033 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

No, this year it’s all about the mighty Spring Drive, a movement (which we’ve explained here) that is unique to Grand Seiko, and appropriately enough, 20 years … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Our pick of the best Grand Seiko watches of 2019, fresh from Baselworld appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If I’m being honest, this is one of the less “Breguet” watches Breguet has released in recent years. It’s an unconventional mix of traditional features, in a much more contemporary package. All the key design features are there: the fluted case, the hands and the elaborately guillochéd dial, but this watch is a world away … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Breguet Marine Chronograph ref. 5527 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

My last list - a trio of well-priced SIHH offerings - could be neatly broken down into a loose theme of air, sea and land.

It’s fair to say that much of Grand Seiko’s catalogue leans towards the dressier end of the spectrum - but, of course, there are exceptions, and the SBGE215G is a perfect example. This sporty GMT is an evolution of the SBGE201G; it shares the same large 44mm case.
