Omega just gave the Seamaster Diver an interesting makeover, offering a classic watch in classic colors: bronze gold and burgundy.

The Seamaster Diver 300M was officially introduced into the market in 2020, but it was later re-launched in different materials. It has ties to the popular James Bond movie No Time To Die. Everything associated with the movie, from watches to cars, turns to gold after a certain period. James Bond has a certain status that extends to watches and gives them a charm.

The steel variant was rolled out in 2024, and it took over thanks to its stylish front face.

The latest addition is characterized by a red bezel and a bronze casing. Both components have interesting hues that complement each other. While the bezel stands out due to the red burgundy accent, the casing has a gold color that blends perfectly with the red hue. Omega went for a retro-like look from the 20th century. Burgundy has been gaining some popularity in the last few months—H. Moser & Cie. Pioneer also unveiled a watch with a red hue.

Apart from that, the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M was rolled out with a black dial, highlighted by a rough finish that adds some depth. It is paired with a bronze mesh bracelet, but it is also available with a strap option.

The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M has different price tags. The one with the bracelet mesh costs $27,900. The strap option, on the other hand, is less expensive—it costs $13,900. Both will be offered on Omega’s online shop and other verified stores.

Titoni Seascoper 300 Bi-Compax: A luxury dive watch with vintage soul

The underrated Swiss dive watch that beats expectations

The Seascoper 300, a COSC-certified chronometer

The Titoni Seascoper 300 Bi-Compax comes at a time when it is hard to stand out in the dive watch market, combining vintage design with premium underwater features. The independent Swiss manufacturer has been able to stand along revered names in the industry like Rolex and Omega while delivering timepieces at a fraction of the cost. The Seascoper 300 series has built a legion of fans over the years as collectors and the latest release brings even more functionality and mid-century aesthetics into the mix.

Upon close inspection, one will notice the watch emulates 1960s five chronographs with its domed sapphire crystal, pump-style pushers and gradient fumé dials that alternate between navy and black at the edges. The 42mm stainless steel case is comfortable due in part to the short, curved lugs, while the unidirectional ceramic bezel ensures modern durability. The end result is a mindful balance of old-world charm and state-of-the-art engineering — a mantra of Titoni's understated approach.

IWC unveils elegant Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34 in rose gold

Swiss manufacturer creates compact dress watch inspired by Italian seaside village

The IWC Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34 in Gold

IWC Schaffhausen has introduced the Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34, an elegant dress watch that brings understated luxury to a compact 34mm rose gold case. Named after the picturesque Italian seaside village, this latest addition appeals to both men and women seeking classical refinement with contemporary wearability.
While IWC's Pilot watches, Portugieser, and Ingenieur collections often dominate attention, the Portofino collection offers a more timeless and understated character that deserves equal recognition. Since its 1984 introduction, the Portofino has evolved from large 45mm and 42mm cases to more compact dimensions, reflecting changing industry trends and diverse wrist preferences.
The new model features a traditional round case measuring just 8.9mm in height, creating an elegantly slim profile despite its substantial rose gold construction. The curved and rounded bezel, case middle, and caseback ensure strong wrist presence while maintaining refined proportions.
The silver-plated dial showcases classic Portofino design elements including an applied gold-plated Roman numeral at XII, applied baton markers, and distinctive leaf-shaped hands. Adding subtle brilliance, twelve brilliant-cut diamonds are strategically positioned on the dotted peripheral minutes track, set to maximize light reflection and visual impact.
The watch's signature complication appears at 6 o'clock, where a gold-framed day and night indicator displays a large sun with golden rays and a crescent-shaped moon surrounded by different-sized stars. This charming display performs a complete rotation every 24 hours, with the sun or moon appearing in the upper section to indicate day or night.
Powering the timepiece is the automatic calibre 35180, based on the reliable Sellita SW300-1 movement. Operating at 4Hz, it delivers a practical 50-hour power reserve while providing hours, minutes, seconds with hacking function, and the day/night indicator.
The watch pairs with a 16mm taupe calfskin strap featuring an integrated quick-change system and gold butterfly folding clasp, offering both comfort and convenience. The combination of compact sizing, precious metal construction, and diamond accents creates an accessible luxury option for dress watch enthusiasts.
At EUR 17,500, the Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34 represents IWC's commitment to creating refined timepieces that blend traditional elegance with contemporary appeal. The watch demonstrates how classical complications can be presented in modern, wearable formats without sacrificing sophistication.
This release reinforces the Portofino collection's position as IWC's most versatile line, offering everything from simple time-only references to complex complications in sizes suited for diverse preferences and occasions.

F1 legend Montoya gets fourth custom Rolex in rose gold

Swiss customizer creates fourth Montoya Daytona with Colombian flag-inspired dial

Juan Pablo Montoya Rolex Daytona

Juan Pablo Montoya's illustrious racing career has been captured in a new skeletonized Rolex Daytona in rose gold by customization specialist Artisans de Genève, marking the fourth collaboration between the Formula 1 legend and the Swiss workshop.
The Colombian racing icon competed for Williams from 2001 to 2004 and McLaren from 2005 to 2006, securing seven Grand Prix wins and multiple podium finishes during his F1 career. His success extended beyond Formula 1 to include race wins in the American NASCAR series, establishing him as one of motorsport's most versatile champions.
Montoya has worked with Artisans de Genève on a series of Daytona chronographs designed to highlight his most treasured racing memories. Previous editions in steel, platinum, and yellow gold have now led to this rose gold piece that features an openworked dial with subdials in the blue, yellow, and red of the Colombian flag.
The latest iteration introduces a forged carbon tachymeter bezel framed with rose gold for the first time in the series. This combination creates a striking contrast while maintaining the racing aesthetic that defines Montoya's custom timepieces.
The eye of a Formula 1 engineer has been applied to every detail of the watch, including the sandblasting of the chronograph hand to prevent glare during use. This attention to functional details reflects Montoya's professional racing background and his understanding of precision timing requirements.
The ref. 116505 Daytona's 4230 movement has been completely disassembled, with each component beveled, sandblasted, and polished by hand. Artisans de Genève has fitted a newly designed triangular rotor in 22-carat gold, which is displayed through an exhibition case back following current fashion for Rolex chronograph customizations.
"The more you look at it, the more you like it," Montoya commented on the finished timepiece, reflecting his satisfaction with the intricate craftsmanship and personal touches incorporated throughout the design.
The collaboration between Montoya and Artisans de Genève demonstrates the growing trend of personalized luxury timepieces that celebrate individual achievements and heritage. The incorporation of Colombian flag colors provides a patriotic element while the technical modifications reflect Montoya's professional racing standards.
This rose gold edition completes a comprehensive collection spanning multiple precious metals, each representing different phases of Montoya's racing career. The progression from steel through platinum, yellow gold, and now rose gold showcases the evolution of both the partnership and the customization techniques employed by Artisans de Genève.
The meticulous attention to engineering details, from anti-glare treatments to precision finishing, demonstrates how high-end watch customization can merge aesthetic appeal with functional performance requirements developed through professional motorsport experience.
