The combination of classic looks with a sporty-sized case and modern materials like a sapphire dial and all that stunning lume. It is one of the most amazing high-end chronographs out there in my book - especially the Datograph Lumen with the up-down indicator. What can I say? Something I’ve considered multiple times was selling some watches from my collection in exchange for a Lange Datograph. Combined with the stunning design of the pointer date and the deep red oxblood colored dial, the Oris Big Crown Bronze is my choice for a bronze watch. Although bronze isn’t to everyone’s liking, its quick aging gives each bronze watch its own unique look. Nowadays, however, it looks here to stay. Although his designs have been copied a lot, the use of bronze took a while to make its mark on the watch industry. It was Genta who first designed a watch in bronze and when he does something, you know it will be a success. The update has its fans, but, to me, the 116610 is among the best dive watches out there. This reference was recently discontinued and replaced by a newer model. It is one of the very few watches that I can wear 24/7, which pretty much says it all. In the 68 years of its existence, it has only gotten better. Few watches can say they stood the test of time better than the Rolex Submariner. If you need a crown on the wrist, it’s got to be in the shape of the Submariner. Whether it’s worth it or not is something only you can decide. It does come at a significant price, though. The combination of a blue sunburst dial and black bezel simply looks great combined with the matching blue silicone strap with a pyramid structure. It is made from a material labeled as “Ever-Brilliant steel” - a term for the world’s most corrosion-resistant steel. This watch brought Seiko into the professional diving category.
