Linde Werdelin is one of those brands that knows what it does, and does it well. And what they do is complex cases with numerous cutouts. It’s a strong look, and one that the brand has sensibly stayed loyal to over the years. Their latest limited edition SpidoSpeed Arktis continues the theme. The 44mm case … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Linde Werdelin SpidoSpeed Arktis 10th Anniversary appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s note: It’s 2019, and along with the feeling that drone-delivered pizza is imminent, many people are also experiencing some form of existential apocalyptic angst. And rather than tell you that it’s all going to be OK, we’d suggest you prepare by watching a few series of Doomsday Preppers and reading this list. We’re sure … ContinuedThe post 5 watches to survive the end of the world, just in case things really kick off appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

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.

We all know James Bond, AKA 007, the suave British secret service agent who has been on missions all over the world.

The watch industry likes to throw the word ‘icon’ around, often with very little basis in fact. However, when talking about the TAG Heuer Monaco, that moniker is well and truly earned. The disruptive, innovative square chronograph - one of the first automatic chronos on the market - turned 50 this year. I was expecting … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The TAG Heuer Monaco 1969-1979 Limited Edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The Unimatic U1 is versatile watch that evokes classic dive styling and looks equally as charming on a rubber dive strap, a NATO, or the brand’s excellent tapered steel bracelet.

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.

If there was ever a case study for the difference a dial (and bezel) can make, the 2019 edition of the Tudor Black Bay Bronze with its slate grey dial is that watch. The new colour is subtle, and executed in a sophisticated manner, making for a dramatic improvement on the now discontinued khaki/brown version. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Tudor Black Bay Bronze with slate grey dial for 2019 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
Most of the time we’re OK living in Australia. We’ve got great beaches, a laidback culture and some colloquial slang that’s more colourful than a hatful of rainbow bezels.

Last year, Seiko announced their Save the Ocean initiative – a partnership between famed underwater explorer and conservationist Fabien Cousteau and Seiko Prospex.

Mido is one of those strange beasts in modern watchmaking – a largely under-the-radar brand that’s also owned by one of the largest corporations in the business (the Swatch Group).

‘Manufacture’ is one of those watchmaking buzzwords you hear fairly frequently. Basically, it’s a fancy word for factory, but in the slow-moving and hallowed halls of horology it’s so much more. Think airy, well-lit rooms with highly skilled watchmakers investing countless hours on minute details most will never see.

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.

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.
