Watches - another OCD problem
-
It's the one I linked to, no?
Yeah, that's the one. The first one (https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/h-moser-swiss-alp-watch-concept-black-minute-repeater-tourbillon) was a tourbillon minute repeater with the tourbillon exposed dial-side and no visible hand-set.

I do like the Apple Watch too…
It does a lot of things for a lot of people. I always appreciate the people who double wrist: Apple Watch on one wrist, mechanical watch on another.
I've been tempted to do this. Not quite there yet, but can see the day.. the apple watch for 'tracking'/'stuff'. Rolley for time.. Irony being the apple keeps better time

so have I. but I've felt that I'll do it for a few months because it's exciting and new, and then give up after that.. in which, I would've wasted money on an Apple Watch.

I've been doubling for a about a year and a half- mechanical on the left wrist, Garmin Vivosport on the right. One thing about it that I kinda like- if I travel to another time zone, I can leave the watch on home time and let the Garmin sync to local.

I'll be the contrarian and advise wearing two mechanicals instead. While I've never been a huge fan of wearables, I'm even less a fan given lockdowns and staring at screens all thetime.

That's lovely, @Graeme :o

Nice, but I don't need two

I keep hoping maybe this year, year after year, will be the year I can afford my much coveted Tag Heuer Monaco calibre 12. Maybe hopefully soon.

Omega have just announced a number of new models for 2021.
There's a new Seamaster 300 Professional in black ceramic.
The retro Seamaster 300 has had a facelift, which now has a sandwich dial.
They're also offering it in what they call bronze gold, which is an alloy of bronze and gold. Yeah, I know, imaginative naming there…
I particularly like the new Tresor with small seconds and a power reserve.

Longines is part of the Swatch Group, positioned below Omega and above Hamilton. I'd consider them more or less comparable to Oris.
Something about a low visibility dive watch just seems wrong to me. But I bet that black ceramic is nice…
-
Time and Tide, the Australian watch website, were excited about the Longines Legend Diver when it launched. They look good in the metal, and I'd agree with @Chris that they're probably on a par with Oris.
Mechanically they use an ETA movement, which has been tweaked using a silicon hairspring. The Oris uses a fairly stock Selita, so the Longines is probably ahead on that front.
I'd also cross shop with the new Oris Carl Brashear, which has their new in-house movement. But it's about 30% more expensive than the Longines.
Bell & Ross have just launched their diver in bronze with a red dial, which looks really nice, but is a similar price to the Oris.

I like this one a lot, but the more I look at it, the more the power reserve dial bugs me. It's so minimalist that it's essentially useless. What are the increments supposed to be, just decorative?
