Zenith Colors Defy 21 Ultrablue

After the Defy 21 Ultraviolet, which Zenith introduced last year, the brand is continuing its quest for vibrant colors with the new Defy 21 Ultrablue. This combines in an exciting way past and present, as blue also played an important role in the history of the El Primero. When launched in 1969, it was also this color that underscored how unique that watch was. When we fast forward to 2021, that hasn’t changed a bit. READ MORE

TAG Heuer Launches Stunning New Version Of Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T

The Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T is a watch unlike any other. While it may be the least expensive, Swiss-made flying tourbillon with a chronograph on the market today, you wouldn’t know. No corners are cut in creating it, as is evident from the finishing, wearing comfort, and that the movement is Chronometer-certified as well.

Watches of Switzerland Welcomes Doxa Back To The United States

By joining forces with Watches of Switzerland, is the legendary Swiss watch brand Doxa once again officially represented in the United States. Doxa was founded in 1880 in the town of Le Locle and has mostly made a name for itself by creating diving watches of outstanding quality. By working closely together with diving-legend Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the brand launched in 1967 their first diving watch. This would become the start of a true legacy, as their watches found themselves on the wrists of both amateur and professional divers alike and was also frequently named in Clive Cussler’s books, whose hero Dirk Pitt wore one. Watches of Switzerland will first reintroduce the American public to Doxa at their trendy SoHo boutique in New York City, but will also offer these Swiss diving watches on their e-commerce platform.

Blancpain Diver Into History With New Fifty Fathoms No Radiations

As a pioneer in the field of diving watches, it doesn’t come as a surprise that Blancpain has a rich history in this area. While Blancpain’s diving watches were available to amateur divers, the brand also made these timepieces for special aquatic units of armed forces around the world. One of their most iconic diving watches was made specifically for the Combat Swimmers of the German Navy. It stood out by the ‘no radiations’ logo on the dial, indicating that Blancpain used luminescent materials that didn’t contain radium, a radioactive substance that was initially used to make hands and hour markers visible during low-light conditions.

Louis Vuitton Rethinks The Diving Watch With New Street Diver Collection

The Tambour is one of the most important watch designs for Louis Vuitton. Launched in 2002, it was the watch that put the brand on the map in the world of the Haute Horlogerie. Over the years, it amassed a loyal group of admirers, not in the least because Louis Vuitton was always able to introduce innovating new varieties of this model while keeping it instantly recognizable as a Tambour. Inspired by the shape of a drum, the Tambour is one of the very few watches that is larger at the base than at the bezel. This gives the watch an undeniable enchanting character, in which it expresses its pedigree further by having the twelve letters of ‘Louis Vuitton’ engraved in the case-band. It also adds a timeless appeal to the watch, as even today the Tambour looks as contemporary as it did back in 2002. READ MORE
