Ball have revamped their Roadmaster rescue watch model. It has that mid-sized 41mm titanium case, the classic Ball gas tube lume on the dial, plus chrono and pulsometer feature, should you need to check on someone’s pulse during an emergency situation. Like paying a gas bill next January. We love the ice blue dial colour,…

Sekonda Airborne: Yep, It’s a Budget Homage to Accurist
Sekonda and Accurist are essentially the same company – they also own Limit too – and it’s no surprise when some Sekonda models are fairly similar to Accurist watches, which tend to cost more. So the latest cushion case Sekonda Airborne is a budget homage to the Accurist cushion case Retro Racer, which was launched…
Two Vintage Chronographs From Lucius Atelier
Singapore based MOD watch specialists, Lucius Atelier, have two new models featuring the ST1901 cal chronograph. The movement is used in many Indie brands and has an appealing caseback view, bearing a similarity to the legendary Valjoux 7733.

Baltic Bicompax 002 is Retro Heaven
Baltic has brought back the Bicompax chrono model, and the 002 version has a more retro dial design, plus the ST1901 movement inside the case. It’s still 38mm wide, which is the same sort of width your classic Venus/Valjoux 7733 movement watches from the 60s and 70s were, give or take 1mm. Twin sub dials…
Dan Henry 1945 Nails That Military Look
Dan Henry make some very nice retro watches and the new 1945 model, which marks the end of WWII, really does float our Bailey Bridge here at NWC mag. The metallic bezel and case give that functional look, the black dial option, or the panda both have cockpit style appeal and the Cathedral hands are…

Jack Mason Moto Racing: Handy Fashion Watch?
The vintage style motorsport chrono is one of our fave wristwatch designs here at NWC mag. Not just because we are petrolheads, but the classic two pusher, one crown and twin sub-dials template forged in the 1960s remains a visually pleasing – and easy to read – watch concept today. It has balance, harmony of…
Tissot PRX Line: Great Alternative to Moonswatch Mania
Yeah, we know the feeling, no Moonswatch in the collection, and who wants to pay those eBay scalper prices? But Tissot has added some new models to its suave, Seventies style PRX line, including a chronograph which is on the way in July. Could that be an alternative to a couple of Moonswatch models? Yeah,…
Can Montblanc Break Free of The Pen?
Yeah, we know what you are thinking; Montblanc, that’s the pen brand isn’t it? Well it is, but they are getting a reputation for creating some superb watches too and the latest 1858 Geosphere Oxygen chrono shows that they can produce something that looks stunning, and delivers on tech features too. It made its debut…
Tudor Black Bay Chrono Rocks The 70s With a Gold Dial
It’s amazing what a bit of old school 1970s gold paint can do and we love the Black Bay chronograph with a gold/champagne dial for 2022. Those retro pushers and that classic twin sub-dial look hark back to the Valjoux 7733/34 cal chronographs of the motorsports era when Lauda, Hunt, Stewart and Fittipaldi were doing…
