Scott's Pick
"It is no big surprise that I picked a Longines watch; I'm a huge fan of the brand and each new release only seems to strengthen my already high opinion of them. With a redesigned case and bracelet and new dial colours, the new Conquest models are a perfect contender for a Go Anywhere Do Anything (GADA) watch. The 38mm case is perfect for my tastes as it has a great blend of brushed and polished surfaces and would look equally great with a dress shirt and sport jacket as it would with a casual jeans and t shirt ensemble. I chose the green dial for the depth and richness that Longines achieved with the dial and for the fact that green is slowly becoming one of my favorite dial colours to see on a watch."
Longines Conquest 38mm
The Conquest collection embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration for those who dare to push boundaries and seek new horizons, all without compromising on elegance. Since 1954, each watch in the Conquest line has seamlessly combined high performance with refined style, incorporating the most demanding technical features.

Sunny's Pick
"Just like the sparkling snow outside, the crisp white tones of this timepiece bring a touch of elegance to every season. Its pop of delightful color makes it the perfect accessory for the holidays—and just as stylish for summer with a T-shirt and jeans."
Breitling Superocean Automatic 36
Experience the fusion of performance and style with the Superocean, a timepiece inspired by the iconic Slow Motion dive watch from the 1960s. Born from the era of scuba diving's rise in popularity, the Slow Motion prioritized functionality for divers, resulting in a sleek design with luminescent indexes and high-contrast elements for optimal legibility underwater. The Superocean pays homage to this heritage while integrating contemporary features such as a ceramic-inlayed bezel and vibrant dial options.
Constructed for water-based pursuits, the Superocean boasts a water resistance of 300 m (1000 ft) and resilience against shocks, sand, and saltwater. The bronze version develops a unique patina over time, enhancing its individuality. With both rubber and metal bracelet options featuring a folding clasp for easy adjustments, this versatile timepiece transitions seamlessly from water activities to casual and formal settings. The scratch-proof ceramic bezel ensures enduring quality, and its uni-directional or bi-directional functionality (with a patented lock on the 46 mm) adds a layer of safety. Embrace the Superocean as more than a dive watch—surf, swim, relax at the beach bar, and dine out in style, epitomizing a perfect balance between heritage nostalgia and contemporary flair.
