Mido has great timing with the release of their limited or special edition runs of the 1961 Decompression Timer. They always seem to time it for the dead center of summer, this time of course being more towards the end but still pretty close. We reviewed their previous launch of the 1961 in the summer […]

I walked into the office this morning, and noticed a rather large build up of watches for review, with boxes stacked on-top of each other neatly grazing the wall.

The new Aquis Date that we’re reviewing here is a culmination of the above, […]
