As this seminal Golden Anniversary year for the watch industry winds down — and timepieces commemorating a half-century of the Zenith El Primero, the Heuer Monaco, and the Omega Moonwatch have all been given their due — one milestone from 1969 remains largely unheralded: Seiko’s invention of the first wristwatch with a quartz movement, the...

Borrowed Time: Hands-On with the Grand Seiko SBGV245

Earlier this year, Grand Seiko quietly released two timepieces within its Sport Collection. These two watches, SBGV243 and SBGV245, weren’t as flashy as the releases we saw from the Japanese firm at Baselworld 2019, nor did they utilize a mechanical movement or one of the brand’s Spring Drive calibers. Instead, Grand Seiko equipped both of...

The Next Cult Classic from Citizen? Hands-On with the Promaster Tough

As longtime proponents of mechanical watchmaking, WatchTime doesn’t typically cover the average quartz release. However, when it comes to Citizen, our editorial team feels a bit differently. Personally, a Citizen Eco-Drive served as my entry point into the watch world and I know that story will ring true for a countless number of other collectors....
