Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar
Unveiled at SIHH, the Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar just glows with class. The word Meisterstuck, when translated into English means masterpiece and this perpetual calendar is just that. The watch is available in two versions – 18kt rose gold, and stainless steel. To be honest, I found it odd for such a high complication to be offered in steel but Mont Blanc clearly wan...

Magrette Moana Pacific Pro Diver G14 Watch Review and Video Review
Newly released from Magrette is their latest version of the Moana Pacific Pro Diver, or MPP Diver as it’s come to be called, in the stainless steel/grey dial. This is about the 5th or the 6th variation of the MPP, and might be, in my opinion , the best. First, let’s take a look at the packaging, which is also new from Magrette. If you have purchased from Magrette in the past, you are p...
Breitling for Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon
This Breitling for Bentley 6.75 originally got its name from the size of the largest Bentley engines, which are found in the famous Mulsanne limousines. This year, the Breitling for Bentley 6.75 gets an upgrade, which is featured in an exclusive limited numbered series of 1,000 pieces worldwide. The 6.75 has always stood out from the rest of the Breitling for Bentley range due to its classy large ...
Tissot PRS 516 Extreme
The Tissot PRS 516 Extreme is a great example of a rugged tool watch. The case construction is very angular and this serves to make the watch look bigger than it is. The case is, by no means, small with dimensions of 44.4mm, excluding the main crown and chronograph pushers. This watch wears high on the wrist as the height of the watch stands at 15.73mm. I must say, when I first saw this watch it k...
Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940 Chronograph
This new Radiomir from Panerai is certainly not the biggest the brand has to offer but is also no slouch for large dimensions. The watch comes in at 45mm, which looks good on the cushion shaped case. This design is all new for 2014. The 1940 Chronograph from the Radiomir collection is presented in three versions – white gold, red gold, and platinum. Panerai goes after a vintage aesthetic, wh...

Uniq P-47 Thunderbolt Watch Review and Video Review
Uniq’s P-47 Thunderbolt is a nice take on a pilot watch, at a large but manageable size. Using elements from the P-47 Thunderbolt Plane itself, Uniq has captured the nostalgia and history into their design, especially with the subdials that were modeled to look like the P47’s cockpit. Let’s start this review off with the very “Uniq” packaging they have used for ...
Blancpain Villeret Watch for 2014
On the one hand, we have Blancpain creator of the extraordinary and oversized X Fathoms watch, which we reviewed last week. On the other hand, we have Blancpain who has released possibly the sexiest, classic styled watch that is going to come out for 2014 period. I don’t want to jump the gun but it is clear that if this watch is to be upstaged by another three-handed beauty; that watch will ...
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph
Audemars Piguet has just released yet another masterpiece in their Royal Oak Offshore collection – the Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph. If this watch doesn’t have the makings of a grail watch for the countless AP admirers out there, I’d be most surprised. The Royal Oak Offshore is the oversized version to the Royal Oak and since 2008 has really been on the move employin...
Ocean7 LM-7 Professional PloProf Hardened Titanium Diver Watch Review with Video Review
The Ocean7 Watch Company is no stranger to the watch world, or here onWatchReport.com. We have reviewed nearly their entire collection here on WatchReport, and with the LM-7 PloProf not being one, I was on a mission. I reached out to Ocean7 in hopes of getting the LM-7 PloProf for review, and within a week, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Mitch Feig of Ocean7 at a local Starbucks. Mitch was ...
