BREITLING Superocean 44
By TLex I'm pretty sure that I wasn't alone in having mixed feelings for the new Superocean, when it was unveiled last year. Whilst the watch looked sensational, albeit with a lack of lume pip on its bezel (pretty much a prerequisite for a divers watch); but it came with a …
BREITLING Superocean Chronograph II

BREITLING Chronomat GMT
By TLex There was a huge buzz when Breitling unveiled their first in-house calibre, the B01, which was housed in the Chronomat 01, a high-end sports model of Breitling's Windrider line. Whilst not really a diver per se, the Chronomat 01 still had a 500m depth rating and a …
Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Watch Hands-On
The first Zenith watch that had my heart was the Rainbow Flyback. Yes, it had a "pretty" name, but this killer chrono was made specially for the French Ministry of Defense, and was an amazing watch from the 1990s. By … Continue reading →

The Gagarin Tourbillon Watch
