Edox recently released the North Sea 1978, a deep-sea diver that paid tribute to the “Inverse Moon Landing” in 1978. This remarkable feat saw North Sea Divers descend to 320 metres in Norway’s icy waters in 1978. The Swiss brand has followed up with a limited edition that goes back to the first expeditions of the North Sea Divers in 1967. The Edox North Sea 1967 Historical Limited Edition also pays homage to the brand’s legendary dive watches like the 1960s Delfin, which used an innovative double O-ring system allowing for water resistance up to 500 metres. The use of a bronze case also represents a rich history of deep-sea exploration.
The concept of limited editions made by watch magazines is now well established and Worn & Wound, an American magazine founded in 2011, is no stranger to the concept – specifically thought their Windup Watch Shop. What differentiates our US-based friends is a strong focus on value-driven watches and this is reflected in their latest […]

The Promaster is a distinctive, highly […]

Traditionally, Rolex focuses on one major launch per year but also presents some […]
Not everybody will be familiar with the independent Biel-based brand Horage, but with two modular in-house movements under its belt, it might be a name worth remembering. Frustrated by the lack of accessible movements on the market, the founders of the brand decided to approach their watchmaking dream back to front and decided to tackle […]
Following our vision of what the new Rolex Explorer II might be, we continue our Rolex Predictions 2021 with another member of the Explorer family, the brand’s classic adventurer’s watch, the Explorer I. One of the few watches of the brand without the new-generation movement, and one that hasn’t been updated in many years (except […]
Whale sharks, the gentle giants of the ocean that can measure the length of a school bus, were classified as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2016. Illegal fishing, collisions with boats and entrapment in fishing gear are decimating the population of whale sharks. Despite their enormous dimensions, […]
Milléchron is a niche brand created in 2018 by a Singaporean watch enthusiast and long-time collector, Benjamin Chee, with the idea to create Haute Horlogerie watches, reimagining classic designs with his own flair and fantasy. Milléchron is a portmanteau of the two French words “Millésime” and “Chronometrie”. All of the brand’s watches are created, assembled […]
The year 2020 was special (to say the least) and, with the cancellation of Baselworld, Rolex had to introduce its new models – including the new Submariner 41mm – later in September. This year, which will see Rolex participating in Watches & Wonders for the first time, the normal rhythm of launches will be back, meaning […]
