WATCH REVIEW

Borrowed Time: Mido Multifort Chronograph PVD Special Edition

Ensconced in the same general price segment as its “affordable luxury” brethren within the Swatch Group — Hamilton, Tissot, and Rado — the Mido brand has flown largely under the radar of U.S. watch consumers, though it’s long been immensely popular in Latin America — perhaps by design, as its name derives from the Spanish...

Vintage Eye for the Modern Guy: Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary Edition

This week, we come to the last and arguably the most famous of Omega’s 60th Anniversary Trilogy, the Speedmaster. This newest piece, like the Railmaster and Seamaster anniversary models released alongside it, is a vintage re-issue of the very first Speedmaster that came to market in 1957, a full 12 years prior to the "Moonwatch" touching lunar ground in 1969.

WATCH REVIEW

Borrowed Time: Vacheron Constantin Overseas Two-Tone Steel & Gold

Two-tone steel-and-gold luxury sport watches occupy a special middle ground between understated luxury and ostentation. The Vacheron Constantin Overseas — revived and redesigned in a big way back in 2016 — is a prime example. Among its many incarnations is a two-tone steel-and-gold, three-hand-date model, which I recently had the chance to wear and review.

Vintage Eye for the Modern Guy: Bremont Supermarine Type 301

Bremont, the British watch brand best known for its luxury pilots' watches, has this year come to market with a vintage-influenced dive watch to compete with some of the historic players. Dubbed the Supermarine Type 301, or S301 for short, the watch draws many of its influences from the early divers of the 1950s while still being distinctly Bremont in its design.

WATCH REVIEW

Borrowed Time: Longines Heritage Chronograph 1940

If you’ve got it, they say, flaunt it. And Longines, with a watchmaking history that stretches back to 1832, has taken this advice to heart, flaunting its rich timepiece archives with its ever-growing Heritage Collection of vintage-inspired pieces. Several new additions to the collection have already made their debut this year, including the Legend Diver...

Vintage Eye for the Modern Guy: Omega Seamaster 300 60th Anniversary Edition

About a month ago, we covered the Omega Railmaster vintage re-edition released to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the original piece. But before 2017 is up, I thought it would be appropriate to train our “Vintage Eye” on the Railmaster’s two significantly more famous sister watches from the 1957 Trilogy, starting with the Seamaster 300....

Borrowed Time: A Week With the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze

Bronze — like the proprietary aluminum-bronze alloy used in the case of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze reviewed here — is essentially made to change color. We explore the metal's ability to develop a distinctive, aged-vintage-look patina over the course of its wearing life giving each Tudor Heritage Black Bay bronze-cased dive watch a unique relationship to its owner.

It Came From Lake Erie: Shinola’s First Dive Watch and First Automatic

When it comes to mythical sea creatures, Scotland has nothing on Detroit. Most of us are familiar with the Loch Ness Monster but fewer are aware of the Lake Erie Monster, an enduring legend in the U.S. Great Lakes region. It was only fitting that Detroit-based Shinola adopt the name for its newest timepiece, which is both its first dedicated divers' watch and its first watch with a mechanical movement.
