Seiko Prospex GMT; Dive Meets Dress and It’s a Winning Formula

The word from Seiko as they launch a new GMT Prospex, which offers dive functionality with a little dress watch appeal blended in there too. Ice blue or the green dial? Hard to choose really. The ice blue one is £1600 though, some 200 notes more than the other two dial colours. Cheeky bit of price-walking eh?  Seiko introduces a new movement in the long-trusted … Continue reading Seiko Prospex GMT; Dive Meets Dress and It’s a Winning Formula

LIV P-51 Frenesi Chronograph is A Top Spec Machine

OK, we know what you’re thinking, $1470 for a LIV watch? Seems expensive, but wait, this has the legendary Valjoux 7750 movement inside and there aren’t many brands selling a 7750 powered watch for under $2000 or two grand sterling. It’s a great engine, much like the Rolls Royce engine inside the P51 Mustang fighter plane. That’s the theme, with this green model dubbed Frenesi, … Continue reading LIV P-51 Frenesi Chronograph is A Top Spec Machine

Ferro Race Master in Auto, Or Meca-Quartz

Motorsport fans will want to check out this latest Kickstarter project from Ferro & Co watches.

Collabs: Bamford Are Down in Green Park Tube Station After Midnight

The latest collab from Bamford is a green dial job, which conventionally indicates a touch of genius. But it’s green watch retailers who say that.. OK, we like a green watch sometimes and this is a handsome devil. The seconde/seconde collab brings together the rebel viv of Romaric Andre and the classic punk rock “up yours mate” angst of the late 1970s. A time when … Continue reading Collabs: Bamford Are Down in Green Park Tube Station After Midnight

Revamped TAG F1 Trio is Pitlane Ready

Always good to see TAG refresh the F1 quartz range, which are arguably the best value entry level Swiss watches on the market.  Yes £1550 is a huge chunk of cash for a quartz model, but the sharp looks and high build quality mean the TAG F1 watches tend to last decades. That translates into strong used market values, which many other cheaper Swiss watches … Continue reading Revamped TAG F1 Trio is Pitlane Ready

Breitling Superocean 42 is On Pre-Order

You know lots of Breitling watches suffer from Range Rover Vogue syndrome. They’re well made, prestige image, loads of heritage too. But they attract a certain wannabe gangsta/dealer element and I really think it has hurt the Breitling name in the UK market. Breitling also stuck to making enormous 45mm plus sized watches for far too long, so it’s great to see some smaller 38-42mm … Continue reading Breitling Superocean 42 is On Pre-Order
