caliber 9039 these are gorgeous watches with a high level of detail and finishing and for the 36 mm version in a mint green it will cost you £52 the extra 2 there goes towards the secret ingredient love probably moving on now we all know the Hamilton khy fied mechanical is one of the best affordable Swiss watches on the market with its 38 mm matte stainless steel case it's a built to last field watch for £545 but we already know that so then what about the next evolution of Hamilton's khi field collection well this is the new khaki field Expedition this is an allterrain adventure watch

bracelet it's sturdy efficient sleek and a generally awesome watch and prices start at £920 now you may have heard people saying that the integrated sports watch craze is over well citizen haven't got the memo and so following on from the Susa collection which seems to be heading in strange new directions this is a new super Titanium Sports watch in both a mechanical automatic version with a small second sub dial or a solar powered EC Drive analog quartz model comes in a crisp octagonal case with sharp shamers on the lugs polished to contrast the vertical brushing of the front and sides of the

and is slightly larger at 40.5 MM and that costs € 429 while the EC Drive version is 39.5 mm and costs €349 but here's a hitch because I'm saying Euros because I can only currently see it on citizens European websites and they're currently not yet available here in the UK which is such a sadness for lovers of integrated sports watches in a citizen super titanium styly anyway you may have heard people saying that the integrated sports watch craze is over well Seiko haven't got the memo this is the s557 from the essentials collection In America which again there's some localization

reserve and prices start at €550 on the vulcanized rubber strap next we have the Dark Moon from ubot this is a range of watches in 40 or 44 mm case sizes featuring Rich deep dial colors beneath domed sapphire crystal and the Innovative concept of oil immersion so both the dial and the Swiss Rond quartz movement inside take a bath completely immersed in oil so the special oil inside emphasizes the by creating the illusion of the absence of glass so the intensity of the color and legibility of the dial is increased and what might look like a typical magnifying Dome there is actually a compensation air bubble that freely floats around the dial protecting the watch from changes in external temperature pretty interesting and looks great other lovely details include the brushed
