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…
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…
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…

Is The JLC Polaris a Green Dream?
Have to admit, I like Jaeger LeCoultre because they go their own way, and they have a thing about engineering, which really, every watch brand should embrace. Even fashion brands. But I’m not that keen on green dials. Maybe I’m not a genius, perhaps I just find it less jazzy than purple, or pleasing as…
Orient Star 1964 Second Edition. Yep, Green is Cool
Always got time for a retro dive watch from Orient, which is of course part of the Seiko group. Love the power reserve indicator and that green fume dial colour too. Here’s the word; Orient Star will introduce two new Diver 1964 2nd edition models to its Sports Collection. Created in 1951, Orient Star has…
