3. Hands-on with the Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre LE

Depending on where you live, you may or may not have caught the latest James Bond film Spectre. Without giving away too much, in it, James Bond wears a special edition Omega Seamaster 300 called the Seamaster 300 Spectre Limited Edition. Naturally, the watch has some tricks up its sleeves. Fans of James Bond will also be happy to know that the very watch in the film is available for purchase. It’s highly similar to the very popular Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-axial but with some notable differences. For example, the diver’s bezel on the Seamaster 300 Master Co-axial has been swapped for an arguably more practical 12-hour scale.

5. A Love Letter To The Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes De Vache 1955

We watch lovers are indeed a curious bunch as we so often refer to watches as if they were living, breathing entities. To people outside of our world, I suspect that we come across as delusional at best, and pure crazy at worst. One of the best examples of our “affliction” can be seen in this love letter to Vacheron Constantin, specifically their new Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 watch. Read this love letter, it may make you fall in love with the watch too.
