Chrono24

Today we're narrowing our focus on what's perhaps their most famous story: the Moon landing, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary on July 20, 2019 (EST).

Omega has more than 170 years of history dotted with ground-breaking achievements. However, your average watch fan will associate Omega first and foremost with the Speedmaster, the watch that made it to the Moon.

Why the Rolex Datejust 36 Deserves More Attention!

Jul 09, 2019

Pascal Gehrlein

I've been less impressed by newer Datejust releases, particularly the 41-mm Datejust II and last year's 36-mm two-tone version with Everose gold and an Oyster bracelet. I was, therefore, anxiously awaiting the new release of the traditional 36-mm version with a black dial and Jubilee bracelet.
