Nomos Introduces DUW 3001 Automatic, Minimatic and more
Nomos is always an exciting brand to visit at BaselWorld. Last year, they wowed with the introduction of the swing system, their proprietary escapement that marked a huge step for the brand (as it would any brand, really) and their Metro. This year, Nomos came ready with the natural progression of that development, boasting several new models and a totally new automatic movement.First up are the Metro 38 Datum and the Metro 38 Datum black. The Metro 38 Datum is a companion piece to the previously released Datum, which is undoubtedly one of Nomos' quirkiest timepieces. At 38mm, it's 1.5mm larger than the Datum, but it still feels perfectly balanced��perhaps even more so due to the more restrained dial. Eschewing the power reserve indicator, the Metro 38 Datum instead focuses on bringing symmetry to the design. We had an early look at this piece a few months ago, and seeing it in the metal certainly helped build our appreciation for what at the time felt like a curious addition to the lin

A Week On The Wrist: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver
100 feet underwater isn't the best place to start wondering if you’ve properly screwed the crowns on a $17,100 mechanical timepiece. I had double- and triple-checked the seals and springbars back on land, while suiting up for a dive on the Hilma Hooker wreck in Bonaire, but just to be sure, I gave them another twist. I descended the sloping reef to the capsized ship, a freighter that sank in 100 feet of water not long after it was seized by authorities who had discovered 25,000 pounds of marijuana hidden aboard. Along with me was no ordinary dive watch - this was the Royal Oak Offshore Diver, the 2010 release from vaunted Le Brassus manufacture Audemars Piguet, with the lovely automatic calibre 3120 inside. It would be a crime against horology to flood this baby.The Royal Oak Version 2.0The ROO Diver represents a milestone for AP, just like the original Royal Oak did 39 years ago. Introduced in 1972 with the help of Gerald Genta it was the first true luxury sports watch, a st

Speedmasters Still Being Used in Space
https://.hodinkee/blog/actual...eva-today-wellI'm actually surprised that Omega doesn't talk about this more. I wonder why that is.Always nice to see watches with history still being used for their original purpose. It's awesome for people to look a their current moonwatch and be able to say that it's currently being used in space.Omega gets a lot of flak (deservedly) for all those special editions, but I give them so much credit for keeping the moonwatch as close to the originals as they have. Just goes to show how far ahead of its time the design truly was.Picture from 2014

Buying Advice
So a few years ago my grandfather passed me his 1962 Tudor sub from his EOD days. I felt so blessed to have that and enjoy wearing it so much that I decided to do the same if I had a son. Well last week I found out I was having a son, so I convinced the wife to let me shop. I have a few options that I'd love some advice on. The intention is to pass down this watch and I'd like a close to the Tudor as I can afford with some modern conveniences like a sapphire crystal. So I came across the 14060 as the closed modern relative to the Tudor I have. Should I:1) Get a new ceramic sub even though I'm not a 100% fan of the fit and bezel2) Get the newest/nicest 14060 I can find to take advantages of the modern conveniences and vintage look3) Seek out the newest/nicest 14060 with tritium so it can patina like my Tudor and most of the wear will be from meSo if you were in my shoes what would you do?
