In 2020, their second collaboration, a 300-watch limited edition, sold out within two days of its launch. And as […]

The Longines Legend Diver Ref.L3.774.4.50.0, or “LLD” for short, is a contemporary redesign of a venerable old classic. In the late 1950s, Longines released the Nautilus Skin Diver.

Vaer D5 Tropic Dive Watch Review
Vaer is a new, up-and-coming microbrand that was founded in 2016, when friends Reagan Cook and Ryan Torres pooled their savings, and built a prototype dive watch.

Oris Carl Brashear Cal. 401 Limited Edition Watch Review
Carl Brashear spent his entire life breaking barriers and progressing his professional diving career.

Longines Spirit Prestige Edition Watch Review
I love a brand new watch, whether it’s a microbrand, tool watch, or haute horology. I love to get my hands on them, learn about them, talk about them, and wear them.
