At its core is the automatic winding, IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre, which offers a power reserve of 120 hours.

There’s a plethora of His & Hers watches out there for couples that love to match, and Longines has a few compelling options of its own. A particular standout comes from the Master Collection, available in 34mm for her and 42mm for him, which bears a notable moonphase complication on the display and a self-winding mechanical movement within the stainless steel case. On the men’s model, blue hands accentuate the textured silver dial and a brown alligator strap brings tasteful contrast.
Omega — Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite
There is much to be adored about Omega’s new Speedmaster Moonphase Meteorite and the space legacy each carries. At a glance, its iron meteorite dial (either coated in black PVD or galvanic grey) is a beauty, exhibiting a pattern of ribbon-like flecks that is unique in every watch and a dual-hemisphere moonphase display. Through the transparent case back, one glimpses the manual-winding calibre 9914 in a special finish, which offers a power reserve of 60 hours.
