          Hamilton had an event in London, and Revolution have a report on from it.

          @neph93 will no doubt be interested in the additions to the 38 mm Khaki Field line.

          But the Ventura is way cooler.

          None of these pieces are up on Hamilton's website yet.

            I am interested indeed… @Graeme Thanks for posting. Are they automatics or mechanicals?

            EDIT: sorry, I figured if I read the article I could find out for myself, so I did. I'm a twat 😃

                Oris wanted to get in on the two-tone trend, but didn't feel that using gold would fit in with their brand values, so they've brought out the Divers Sixty Five Bico in bronze and steel.

                  That's an interesting shade for bronze… and I think it's pretty sexy!

                  Looks damn good on leather, as well

                    Oris are doing some really good pieces right now, and they've gone heavy on the bronze trend.

                      I'm curious to see how the bronze links fare over the long term.  I agree with UnTucked and would pick leather over the bracelet.

                        Right. Typically with bronze watches, the bronze doesn't com in contact with the wearer's skin because it will cause discoloration of the skin.

                          According to the article at Monochrome, the alloy of bronze used in the Bico doesn't tarnish or patina as fast as others do. So it's OK to wear against the skin.

                          I'd probably pick the leather strap, as I don't tend to go for bracelets. But I do like the novelty of the Oris's

                                        Thanks very much for that. Now to get to a place where I can try one on…

                                        Also, there is an irony that the guy who wrote the piece about a watch called the «Hacked» is also a hack...

                                          @DougNg how right you were about NATO straps. I changed up the strap on my Hamilton field to a Strapt NATO. I'm very impressed with the quality of this strap. @neph93 I like how the NATO strap has made what is essentially a slim 38" watch, to something a bit more substantial looking.
