While best known for the Credor Eichi II, and some of the finest chiming wristwatches […]

Hands On: Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5227G-015 “Rose Gilt”

Patek Philippe’s headline launches this year included the surprising Celestial ref. 6105G and Nautilus 50th anniversary editions, but also more classical, yet under-the-radar, watches, like the Calatrava ref. 5227G-015 with a “rose-gilt” dial and hinged case back. Though the Calatrava ref. 5227 with its distinctive “officer’s case” has been in the catalogue for well over […]

The Water Champion Is Back With The Edox Delfin 1961 Reissue And A New Delfin 1973 Series Of Watches

In 1961, less than a decade after the first modern dive watches were launched, few brands had mastered the art of creating highly water-resistant watches. Rather than designing its first highly water-resistant watch to serve the needs of scuba divers, Edox took a completely different approach, looking to the cliffs towering above Acapulco, Mexico, where […] The post The Water Champion Is Back With

As if this integrated-bracelet favorite weren’t already on-trend enough

Introducing the Seiko 5 Sports MOTOCOMPO Limited Edition

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying that children are either car kids or dinosaur kids. Personally, I was firmly in the latter category. But the older I get, the more I realize how much I’ve missed out on. Now, I’m not saying I’m interested in those flashy muscle cars (I haven’t hit my midlife crisis […] The post Introducing the Seiko 5 Sports MOTOCOMPO Limited Edition appeared first on Worn & Wound.

Zandvoort’s Final Lap: The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph Limited Edition For The Last Dutch Grand Prix

After 35 years of absence, the Dutch Grand Prix returned to Zandvoort in 2021. It almost seemed impossible at first to organize such a global event in the small beach town. The circuit received a few necessary updates, and encouraging people to come by bike and shuttle from Amsterdam worked.

Mido Ocean Star 200 Watch Review: A Redesigned Model That Gets Things Right

Years ago, I bought a Mido from a serial flipper at a deep discount. It was basically new, and I wore it (the titanium Ocean Star Captain V) often.
