Over the last two weeks, we’ve spent much time with the new Panerai Luminor Marina collection. Today’s watch, the Titanio PAM03325, visited our headquarters for a comprehensive photo shoot. We saw it again, and the rest of the collection, at Watches and Wonders 2025 a week later. Suffice it to say, the changes to the collection and the reintroduction of a titanium model may not sound like much, but Panerai went to work and made significant changes.

Together with Breitling, we will host another event in The Hague, Netherlands, to show you the new Breitling collection(s). Not everyone can or will be in Geneva at the end of March or early April to see the new Breitling watches. So Breitling and Fratello will show you the novelties in The Hague! We can’t reveal much yet, as everything is still under embargo, but we are confident you are going to love what you’ll see.

It is no surprise that we receive quite a few messages concerning the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. Over 500 articles on Fratello cover this chronograph, which results in some questions, especially from first-time buyers who are asking for some guidance when buying their first Omega Speedmaster.

It’s Sunday again, so it’s time for another Sunday Morning Showdown. Mike and Jorg go head to head in a battle over integrated-bracelet sports watches this week. Two weeks ago, we had a similar match-up when Vacheron’s 222 went up against the Royal Oak. This week, two more famous watches in the same category fight for the win. The main difference between these watches and the two contenders that battled it out two weeks ago is their price.

Welcome back to Fratello Talks. It’s time for some tough love! Today, Nacho, Lex, and Daan are talking about a handful of watch brands with untapped potential. These are big names in the watch world that they deeply respect and admire but feel are not currently delivering to the full extent of their capability. This can relate to a brand’s history and legacy, its technical expertise, or even aspects of watchmaking on which a brand has fallen behind.

Japan is an infinite source of inspiration for creative people. The history and culture of the Land of the Rising Sun have long sparked a rich palette of artistry in art, fashion, furniture, and architecture. With the Citizen Tsuyosa Concept Collection, IFL Watches pays tribute to Japanese culture by creating four very distinctly Japanese dials for the Citizen Tsuyosa.

In January last year, Swatch introduced the crowd-pleasing, all-black Ocean of Storms Fifty Fathoms Scuba. Just one month later, the Blue Lagoon model made its debut. Now, Swatch is looking at life through rose-tinted glasses as it introduces this latest iteration in the FFS lineup: the bright and bold Swatch × Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Scuba Pink Ocean. We often ask ourselves: will we see new MoonSwatch or Fifty Fathom Scuba models? What will the folks at Swatch come up with next?

Then, five decades later, it took the form of a heritage reissue called the Divers Sixty-Five. Today, it’s time to celebrate the original’s diamond jubilee with the presentation of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five 60th Anniversary Edition.

In 2023, right after Wimbledon, I wrote an article questioning whether there was life for Rolex in tennis after Roger Federer left the sport as an active player. During that year’s Wimbledon, the Swiss maestro received a unique welcome from the English audience. It showed people’s respect and gratitude for Federer as a tennis player and human being. Rolex had already lined up a new generation of tennis stars. Now, eighteen months after that article, Rolex’s grip on tennis has only strengthened.

Seven months have passed since Oak & Oscar released its Atwood hand-wound chronograph. However, it seems that founder Chase Fancher and the team were already plotting the next model, the Humboldt GMT SAR Edition. To be fair, this is a limited offering designed with a search and rescue team in mind. However, it deserves attention due to its new case material and story. The guys at Oak & Oscar are avid outdoorsmen and spend time at Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA).
