Introducing: Unimatic Gives Its Modello Due A Second Time Zone With The U2-GMT
What We KnowI thought the Modello Due from Unimatic was dead. Okay, I'm being a bit dramatic, but in recent memory, the Italian brand has focused its efforts less on the unconventional field watch silhouette, opting to focus on its more conventional, brutal case designs in the Modello Uno, Tre, and Quattro.But I suppose better late than never, the Modello Due finally gets its first GMT treatment with the U2-GMT World Timer. The name is quite the misnomer, actually, as there is no city ring on

Introducing: Seiko Brings Back The 'Rotocall', A Digital Quartz Reissue That Turns Our Bezel
What We KnowSeiko is releasing a new digital watch that is all about the bezel.

We've seen it before. This is basically a re-issue of a model from the early 1980s - the Seiko A829 - that found particular favor with astronauts because – you guessed it – the bezel functionality could be operated while wearing (

Introducing: Blancpain Expands The Villeret Collection With Three New 'Golden Hour' Iterations
What We KnowToday, Blancpain refreshes its Villeret collection with a whopping sixteen new references total in the new Villeret Golden Hour series. Okay, that might sound overwhelming, but hopefully I can break it down into a more digestible manner. In reality, there are only three new models: the time-and-date Villeret Ultraplate, the larger Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune, and the smaller Villeret Quantième Phases de Lune.Across the board, the aesthetics of the line have been ever-
