Nothing wrong with basic white dials. There’ll always be a time and place for them on our wrists. But the grey-dialed 1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition Power Reserve proves that playing around with colours and textures pays off. It pays off big time. 🔎

The classiest chronograph of them all? 😎 Well, if it's not ‘THE’ classiest, then it's definitely somewhere among the top! The @IWC Portugieser Chronograph has been around for nearly 30 years now and the newest ones are perhaps the best-looking yet! 🔎

NBA All-Star Damian Lillard teams up with @TISSOT for a special PRX. At first glance, the watch may appear similar to last year's gold model. But several distinctions set the two apart – all inspired by Lillard's two passions – sports and music. Details:

Good thing @oriswatches presented their latest Divers Sixty-Five on a white surface. Because if it were dark, you might not have even noticed it. 👀 In celebration of the brand’s 120th birthday, its designers have covered the entire thing in black! 🔎

3 years filled with countless iterations of the @TISSOT PRX. But which one is the best? Which one do you like the most? The original quartz? The chronograph? Any of the special editions? And which colour?

The 'dress watch' might be on the rise, but @ROLEX ’s recent addition to the genre, the 1908, will simply never be as popular as the ‘Crown’s’ sportier offerings. And perhaps that’s for the best. Perhaps, this is the new Rolex for the true connoisseur! 🔎

The @G_O_Manufactory SeaQ is a superb choice if you’re in the market for a luxury #divewatch that leans more towards ‘luxury’ than most. But which one to go for? 🤔 The 39.5mm SeaQ or its bigger brother – the 43.2mm SeaQ with the signature Panoramadatum?

🤔 @oriswatches Aquis or Oris Sixty-Five? Both are great, robust, and reliable divers, and the only things that’s really separating the two, are their aesthetics. Or? Is there more to the matter? Which one do you like more and why?

Speedmaster doesn’t only equal the Moonwatch! 🚀 While the legend easily overshadows all other models in @omegawatches 's vast Speedmaster collection, one might argue that they shouldn't be overlooked. Take, for instance, this Speedmaster 57.

Sports watches: widely beloved, but also quite a bit limiting as far as design experimentation goes. That's where the Promenade comes in, @CzapekGeneve 's newest collection introduced couple of months ago. Its purpose? To serve as a canvas for the brand’s creative expression!

Tissot takes us back to the 70s with a manually-wound PR516 Chronograph! Inspired by the original PR516, a quintessential racer’s watch, the ‘PR’ in its name stands for ‘Particulièrement Robustes’ (particularly robust). Our hands-on: @TISSOT

Is the 34mm #RoyalOak the best one out there? Most of you are probably going to answer with an unequivocal ‘No’, and we get it. 34mm... The number sounds scary when written out. It’s so small. But on the wrist? The more compact Royal Oak shines with its perfect proportions.
