Autodromo Stradale Line Debuts As The Brand's New Flagship Watch
Since we first covered Autodromo in 2012,?the brand has remained true to its name and kept on expanding its?range of retro-styled watches inspired by classical automotive design. With their latest line of watches, called the Autodromo Stradale, they continue this tradition by?lifting some key aesthetic?elements?of dashboard instruments from Italian sports cars of the late 1950s and?incorporating them?in the design of the Autodromo Stradale.Blending automotive?and watch design is?not a new thing by any stretch of the imagination, and while we have seen a large number of high-end as well as?more affordably priced brands have a go at it, few could?pull it off in a memorable way. Basically, where Autodromo stands out is that all their watches are inspired by?motoring, with the Autodromo Stradale set to "evoke the age of Gran Turismo, when driving across the continent involved more than hopping on an expressway." Sounds nice and swell, but let's see how that translates into horology.The pri

Affordable Vintage: Zodiac Sea Wolf
Zodiac launched the Sea Wolf divers watch in 1953. When it was a featured at the Swiss Watch Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York, it really gained in popularity. The Sea Wolf featured the caliber 70-72 automatic movement that was a collaboration between ETA and A. Schild. The first model did not hack, but shortly after its debut they added a hacking mechanism. It featured a newly designed snap on case back w/gasket that they labeled as “20 ATM.

This combination really gave the Zodiac a look like no other watch at the time, or even to this day for that matter. The first generation Sea Wolf had triangle han

Source for Omega style straps?

Hi and thanks for showing
Hello everyone, this is my first posting, well here is my question to all the watch enthusiasts, i have a classic watch that i know nothing about, it is a Swiss made Patek Philippe 18K Gold, i have tried to search for it endlessly online but have been unsuccessful at finding anything about it, i don't know what year its from, does anyone have any idea about it, my guess is 60-70's but it may be older than that, the back plate is labeled 3646, it is a wind up watch and does seem to work from what i know, i have the original bands but they are not in the best shape, any help would be most appreciated.

What's driving up the demand on the 5-digit GMT Master II's?
Looking through the For Sale section, in just the past 12-24 months it looks like prices on the 5-digit GMT Master II's have gone up tremendously -- something like 20-25% if I had to ballpark a figure. The market is showing that people are willing to pay, but what's driving that demand? Are those watches, particularly the Pepsi, just very in right now? Those are beautiful references, I understand the desire to own one, I'm just wondering why the sudden increase in such a short period of time.
