When I hear the name Benrus, the first two timepieces that come to my mind are the Type I diver and the DTU-2A/P field watch. These two models are much loved among fans of military watches. But Benrus also created more classics in the past that are worth checking out if you’re just learning about…

Even the intense shot of caffeine from the double espresso didn’t change what I saw. At the top of the stairs lay a shiny unicorn — not something you see every day. It appeared very calm, serene, and peaceful, even when I got closer to the top of the stairs. The eyes of the magical…

Many of these revivals are crowdfunded through Kickstarter and produce watches nearly indiscernible from the originals—albeit without the scars of a life well…

Yes, here’s the battle that you all knew was coming. When the Omega × Swatch Speedmaster MoonSwatch was introduced about a year and a half ago, it was an immediate blockbuster and still is.
