While many timepieces are created, and positioned, as a diving watch, their actual use is often much broader. As they are robust, reliable, and of course waterproof, they become a natural companion for people who enjoy an active lifestyle. Glashütte Original realizes this too and therefore focuses with the reed green version of the successor of their first diving watch on land.

While there are no global watch fairs this year, it is still traditionally the time for many brands to introduce their models. One of the brands that is not deviating from this is Omega, which delights us to a wide variety of new models, including many in the Seamaster collection.

With exquisite exterior colours of gold and dark, Stefania is a testament to exclusive looks, advanced technologies and attention to detail.

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.

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. Therefore, it cannot come as a surprise that the watch has been quite a success after its introduction in 2016, and now a new addition joins the line-up.

When one of the most desired sports watches in the world is fitted with a refined and complex movement, magic happens. This has for sure been the case with the Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar Ref.5740/1G. Upon introduction, it took the famous Gerald Genta design to new heights as it has never before been fitted with a perpetual calendar movement. It can in many ways be seen as combining the best of both worlds: the iconic look of the Nautilus, with one of the sophisticated, complex movements Patek Philippe is known for.

Luxury timepiece company, Hublot, has partnered with artist, Shepard Fairey on their third watchmaking work of art of the year - the Classic Fusion Chronograph Shepard Fairey.

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.

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.

The Thor Explorer yacht has sweeping Nautilus windows, aquarium corridors, glass floors and that’s just the beginning of the futuristic design elements!

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.

When it comes to historically important events, Longines was often in the middle of it. In particular, when it comes to aviation history. As the concept of aircraft matured in the 1920s, planes became more common, powerful, and able to fly higher as well as longer distances. This also meant the introduction of new problems, like how to determine your exact location when airborne. To do this a very precise watch was an absolute necessity, as time was used to navigate. In 1929 Navy Captain Phillip Van Horn Weems teamed up with Longines to develop a special system for a watch that would make it easier to navigate. While initially created for use at sea, it was quickly adopted by aviators alike. One of those aviators was Charles A. Lindbergh, who was in 1927 the first man to fly non-stop from the North-America to Europe. He later on also designed a watch with Longines, which became the legendary Hour Angle, aimed at making navigation in aircraft easier and more reliable.

To watch connoisseurs, the Patek Philippe reference 3448 needs no introduction. When launched in 1962, it became the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar powered by an automatic movement. It immediately also became one of the most beautiful, as even today, few other perpetual calendars can match the pure style of reference 3448. One of its most prominent features is the moon phase display, which is located at six o'clock, and surrounded by the dates, indicated by a hand. But not all reference 3448 have this feature, as some are "Senza Luna."

At the recent digital edition of the LVMH Watch Week, it was the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Orange Sapphire on which all the spotlights were aimed. This made it that the two other watches featuring the same movement did not get the attention they deserved. It is time to set that record straight, as they have a lot to offer, starting with the gorgeous movement.

Grand Seiko is, above all, a brand of subtleties. There is a good reason for that, as they invest so much time, effort, and resources to perfect every single detail so that even a subtle watch becomes extraordinary. It is also a sign of modesty, not to boast, but to simply enjoy creating something extraordinary that connoisseurs highly value and appreciate. The latest highlight representing this unique spirit is, without a doubt, the new Heritage Collection Seiko 140th Anniversary Limited Edition SLGH007.

Today we celebrate International Women's Day, in which we not only honor women's achievements but also raise awareness for women's equality. The theme set for this year is 'Choose To Challenge,' as a challenged world is an alert world, and what you challenge will change.

Here are four watches that might, each in their own way, facilitate this change.
