[Review] The Unconventional A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Date
The current landscape of unorthodox watch designs is surprisingly vast. The foundations that led us here have been laid over the course of generations, and represent a core component of the lasting success of mechanical timekeeping well beyond its practical shelf life. From the likes of Vianney Halter to MB&F, it’s easy to get caught…

Six Months Later with the Tudor FXD GMT
Tudor has developed a habit of releasing some of their most interesting watches in the back half of each year, and recently these have taken the form of FXD watches.

While their historic dive references, from the 6215 and 6159 to the oddball 7002 (reviewed here) enjoy most of the spotlight (deservedly so), there are plenty of non-diver sport watches from the brand that represent an interesting era in…

Tudor Pelagos Ultra Review: A Surpisingly Refined Extreme Pelagos

From the days of the Marine Nationale-issued Snowflakes and the Royal Canadian Navy-issued Submariners, to the modern Pelagos FXD, which has become almost synonymous with military application. Tudor is a brand with a legacy of making true tool watches. The introduction of…

Retro Review: A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 101.027
I find myself talking quite a lot about the year 1997 in these retro reviews, and for good reason, as it seems to be a nexus of creativity and originality prior to full on modern (i.e. safer) themes taking over. The year delivered some of the all-time greats (in my book, at least), such as…

Retro Review: The Titanium IWC GST Aquatimer 2000 ref. 3536
There are surprisingly few original takes of the dive watch formula, and that is largely by design. The genre as we know it today found its footing in the mid 1950s alongside a burgeoning recreational diving subculture, with watches from the likes of Rolex, Doxa, Blancpain, and others casting a die that remains relevant today.…
