Introducing the Limes Endurance II
For many of us (myself included), there is no denying the appeal of a cleanly designed diver. Now, you might argue that the Limes Endurance II is not truly a dive watch, as it only carries a 100m WR rating, and I would concede that point. It most certainly fits into the …
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ultra-Thin Caliber 1120
I have a soft spot for the Royal Oak, Nautilus, Ingenieur and Overseas. Only the first three were designed by the late Gerald Genta, the Overseas’ predecessor was designed by Hysek. The ‘222’, as it was called, was introduced 40 years ago already but the Overseas as we know …

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Calibre 5200 Hands-On
With the Overseas line, and perhaps most so with the Overseas Chronograph, Vacheron Constantin has attempted to walk the fine line which often bisects watches: that between dressy and sporty. With a sport watch history that can be traced back to the '30s, Vacheron …

Panerai Luminor 1950 3-Days PAM 663
To be brutally honest, this newly introduced Panerai Luminor 1950 3-Days, or PAM 663, is already one of my all-time favorites concerning modern Panerai watches. It probably was a question of time when they would come up with a Panerai Luminor 1950 with a stunning vintage …
