It’s the perfect centrepiece for the globally launched Presage collection, and clearly a massive favourite with you guys, as it was our fourth most-popular story this year. Seiko straight-up knocked it out of the park with this watch, a massive success that blends the Japanese brand’s legendary high quality and even…
The Rolex Daytona had to make this list. It has, hands-down, been the most hyped/discussed/desired watch of 2016 – and we caught a bit of a lucky break at Baselworld, managing to post the first video review. Of course, we spent some quality time with it later in the year,…

When Omega ceased production of the…
Through a transparent exterior, the new Bell & Ross BR-X1 Chronograph Tourbillon Sapphire reveals a flying tourbillon combined to the sophisticated mechanics of a mono-pusher chronograph. The skeletonizing of the movement and the transparency of sapphire allow the wearer to observe the column wheel at 12 o’clock and the other…
