MB&F Legacy Sequential EVO
Being the winner of the Grand Prix at the GPHG 2022, it’s impossible not to feature this watch in our list… And for many other reasons, the MB&F Legacy Sequential EVO is an absolutely stunning watch.
Chronograph watches
It’s MB&F’s first-ever chronograph, and the indie watchmaker is entering the scene with a mind-blowing watch. Behind this watch is Stephen McDonnell, the man responsible for the LM Perpetual, with an entirely redefined mechanism for the chronograph.
one movement, two chronographs, and multiple timing modes, including split-seconds and lap timer. With no fewer than five pushers, it can be used in many ways. Independent mode, Simultaneous mode, Cumulative mode or Sequential mode – all explained in our in-depth story here.
It all comes down to McDonnell’s invention, the so-called Twinverter, and a movement with tons of technicalities to discover. Best of all, it comes in the brand’s EVO Zirconium case, with 80m water-resistance and integrated rubber strap.
Skeleton watch
Quick facts: 44mm – zirconium case – skeleton dial with black or orange plate – in-house movement conceived by Stephen McDonnell for MB&F, hand-wound integrated dual chronograph with two column wheels and Twinverter switch – rubber strap – CHF 160,000
Omega Speedmaster 57
The Speedmaster is not only one watch. There’s more than the Moonwatch to be discovered. Surely, the classic Professional model has much appeal, but so does the new Speedmaster 57.
Smaller, thinner, now hand-wound and with great vintage appeal, Omega has drastically revamped this sub-collection to create a truly attractive watch. At now 40.5mm in diameter, the watch is a direct tribute to the very first Speedmaster, with its straight lugs and brushed steel bezel.
Sharper in style too. The dial, on the contrary, feels more modern with its well-chosen colours (the blue model here really works), its bi-compax layout and a date.
A more daily-oriented watch, it is now powered by a hand-wound in-house Master Chronometer movement.
