Designed by Seconde/Seconde/ to celebrate 55 years of Astérix in Switzerland, the Chronofixe Cofrefor Limited Edition transforms comic-book storytelling into a clever piece of Swiss mechanical watchmaking. Created in collaboration with Romaric André and Chronofixe, the Cofrefor turns the idea of a Swiss bank vault into wearable satire - complete with a combination-lock-inspired bezel, vault-handle-style crown, and Astérix himself attempting to crack the “safe” hidden within the dial. Playful without becoming gimmicky, the Cofrefor balances humour, nostalgia, and proper horology in a way only Seconde/Seconde/ can. Inspiration & Design Inspired by the iconic Astérix in Switzerland comic released in 1970, the Cofrefor imagines Astérix in the middle of a Swiss vault heist - ear pressed to the dial while decoding the bezel like a combination lock. The concept perfectly captures Seconde/Seconde/’s signature approach to watch design: transforming familiar watch components into visual storytelling devices while preserving the integrity of the watch itself. The bi-directional bezel resembles the dial of a high-security safe, while the oversized crown references a traditional Swiss vault handle. The engraved caseback continues the narrative with the phrase: “Aussi hermétique qu’un coffre helvétique”(“As sealed as a Swiss vault.”) Every detail contributes to the joke without overwhelming the watch, resulting in a piece that feels witty rather than theatrical. Dial & Case Details The Cofrefor features a compact and versatile 37mm stainless steel case, giving it vintage-inspired proportions that wear comfortably across a wide range of wrist sizes. Its brushed finishing reinforces the industrial vault aesthetic, while the restrained monochromatic colour palette keeps the playful dial artwork balanced and surprisingly wearable. The bezel itself is one of the standout design elements - cleverly functioning visually like the rotating dial of a safe while remaining fully integrated into the overall watch design. Paired with a brushed stainless steel bracelet, the Cofrefor feels solid, understated, and distinctly Swiss despite its comic-book origins. Movement & Mechanics Beneath the playful exterior sits the trusted Sellita SW200 automatic movement. Widely respected across independent Swiss watchmaking, the SW200 is known for its reliability, serviceability, and stable long-term performance. Automatic winding means the watch is powered by the motion of the wrist, eliminating the need for batteries while delivering the tactile charm collectors appreciate in mechanical watches. This is an important distinction - the Cofrefor is not merely a novelty collaboration, but a genuine Swiss Made mechanical watch built with proper horological foundations. Bracelet & Wearability At 37mm, the Cofrefor delivers an easy everyday fit with strong vintage character. The brushed steel bracelet complements the case perfectly and keeps the watch grounded despite its highly thematic design language. Rather than demanding attention immediately, the details reveal themselves gradually - rewarding owners and fellow enthusiasts who take a closer look. It is exactly the sort of watch that sparks conversations organically. Final Impression The Chronofixe Cofrefor succeeds because it understands both comic culture and watch culture equally well. Rather than simply placing characters on a dial, Seconde/Seconde/ transforms the bezel, crown, caseback, and dial into part of a larger visual narrative. The result is clever, self-aware, and distinctly collectible. At the same time, the watch remains mechanically credible, wearable, and thoughtfully executed - something many themed watches fail to achieve. For collectors of independent watchmaking, fans of Astérix, or anyone who appreciates humour executed intelligently through design, the Cofrefor stands out as one of the more original limited editions in recent years. And appropriately for a watch inspired by a Swiss vault - once these disappear, they may remain locked away for good.

The Shanghai Watch Commander Dive 39mm is built as a compact, functional dive watch designed for everyday reliability. It combines a robust case with a clean, legible layout, keeping the focus on usability. Inspiration & Cultural Design The Commander series traces its origins to the 1960s, when the Shanghai Watch Factory developed the 114 Series - China’s first self-designed military automatic diving watch. Built for the People’s Liberation Army, it was engineered for durability, with shock resistance, anti-magnetism, and water resistance up to 200 meters. Issued to division-level commanders, it became associated with leadership and reliability in demanding conditions. The modern Commander Diver draws from this foundation, retaining the utilitarian design language while updating performance to meet contemporary standards, including increased water resistance. The result is a watch that balances historical reference with practical functionality. Dial & Case Details The gray dial offers a more understated alternative, using tone rather than contrast to create visual interest. It keeps the watch versatile while maintaining strong readability. Markers and hands are designed for clear visibility, supporting the watch’s tool-oriented purpose. The 39mm case keeps the watch compact while maintaining the presence expected of a dive watch. A unidirectional bezel supports timing functionality, while a sapphire crystal protects the dial. Movement & Mechanics Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch delivers dependable performance for daily and active use. The focus remains on reliability and consistency under regular wear. Strap & Wearability The watch comes with three strap options - a metal bracelet, leather strap, and NATO strap - allowing it to adapt across different uses and settings. This flexibility lets the watch shift easily between a more robust, tool-oriented feel and a lighter, more casual configuration. Despite its functional design, the 39mm case remains comfortable on the wrist, making it suitable for extended wear across both daily and active use. Final Impression This is the most restrained version, suited for those who prefer a more neutral, everyday look within a dive watch format.

The Zelos Hammerhead V3 Titanium Granite draws from the classic era of dive watches, reworked with sharper lines and a more contemporary execution. Its cushion-shaped titanium case gives it a strong wrist presence, while the granite-textured dial adds depth through subtle light play. With 300m water resistance, a hardened titanium surface, and a quick-adjust bracelet, it is built for daily wear with proper dive capability. Inspiration & Design The Hammerhead takes its cues from vintage dive watches, particularly the cushion-case silhouettes that defined many tool watches of the past. Zelos updates this format with more angular case lines and a faceted profile, giving the watch a more modern stance. The case and bracelet are designed to flow together visually, creating a cohesive and assertive look on the wrist. Despite its size, the relatively short lug-to-lug length helps it wear more compactly than expected. Dial & Case Details This Granite variant features a stamped and textured brass dial designed to mimic the look of natural granite, without the fragility of stone. The dark grey surface reflects light subtly, revealing fine texture without appearing overly decorative. It remains restrained at a glance, but shows more detail up close. The case is made from Grade 2 titanium and treated with a 1200HV hardened coating to improve scratch resistance over standard titanium. A sapphire bezel insert and domed sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating reinforce its durability as a true tool watch. Movement & Mechanics Inside is the Seiko NH35 automatic movement, a proven and reliable calibre widely used for its durability and ease of service. It fits the Hammerhead’s purpose well, prioritising robustness and practicality over unnecessary complexity. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The watch is fitted on a titanium bracelet with a hardened surface and a quick-adjust clasp with an external release. This allows for fast, on-the-fly sizing adjustments without removing the watch, improving comfort throughout the day. Despite its bold proportions and 300m rating, the 49mm lug-to-lug span helps it sit securely and balanced on the wrist. Final Impression The Zelos Hammerhead V3 Titanium Granite is a modern dive watch that focuses on material, construction, and proportion rather than excess. It delivers the presence expected of a serious diver, while the granite-textured dial and hardened titanium case give it a more considered and distinctive character. A strong option for those looking for a robust daily watch with subtle detail and proper capability. Explore Other Variants Explore other Zelos watches available at Red Army Watches Singapore.

The Horizon Watches Nemolithic collection marks the next chapter of the brand’s most recognisable design language. Building on the foundations of the original Nemo, Nemolithic introduces five mesmerising natural stone dials, each defined by its own texture, colour, and character. Despite the visual weight and presence of solid stone, Nemolithic retains a refined, wearable profile at just 10mm thick (excluding crystal). Each watch is paired with an improved stainless-steel bracelet featuring enhanced articulation and Horizon’s MicroSlider clasp, allowing seamless, on-the-fly micro adjustment. Limited to just 23 pieces per dial, Nemolithic is a study in contrast: rarity balanced with everyday wearability, and natural material framed by precise industrial design. From Nemo to Nemolithic Nemolithic builds upon the proportions and architectural philosophy of the original Nemo, itself the refined successor to Horizon Watches’ debut -N- collection. Where Nemo focused on balance, thinness, and multi-plane construction, Nemolithic pushes the design language further through material exploration. By removing the date display entirely, Nemolithic achieves a cleaner, more sculptural dial - allowing the natural stone surface and applied markers to take centre stage. The result is a purer expression of the Nemo form, elevated through rarity and restraint. Dial & Design Language Each Nemolithic dial is crafted from natural stone, resulting in subtle variations that ensure no two watches are ever identical. The organic textures of stone contrast beautifully with the Nemo case architecture, creating a dialogue between nature and precision engineering. With no date complication, the dial remains intentionally uncluttered. The applied hour markers - standing tall at 0.6mm - dominate the visual landscape, reinforcing the Nemo’s signature multi-plane design and enhancing legibility. Their sculptural height and Nautilus-inspired form add depth without distraction. Case, Bezel & Construction Nemolithic retains the Nemo’s rare two-module case construction, allowing for exceptional finishing even in the most intricate recesses. This architecture creates layered surfaces, stepped lugs, and varied slopes that reward close inspection from every angle. The watch is equipped with a coin-edged unidirectional external rotating bezel, now fitted with a sapphire insert - an upgrade that enhances both durability and visual depth. With 120 firm clicks, the bezel offers precise, tactile operation for elapsed time measurement. Bracelet & Wearability Each Nemolithic is fitted with a stainless-steel bracelet redesigned for improved mobility and articulation, ensuring comfort throughout the day. The bracelet is finished with Horizon Watches’ MicroSlider clasp, enabling quick micro-adjustments without tools - ideal for changes in wrist size or temperature. Despite its robust construction and stone dial, Nemolithic wears comfortably and securely, balancing presence with practicality. Rarity & Collectability Every Nemolithic variant is limited to 23 pieces only, making each watch as rare as the stone it carries. The natural variation in the dials further enhances individuality, ensuring that each piece feels personal and truly unique. This is not just a material upgrade - it is a collector-focused evolution of an already respected design. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 23 pieces available worldwide Case size: 40mm  Case material: 316L stainless steel Case back: 316L stainless steel Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: Miyota 9039 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial: Natural stone; SuperLuminova BGW9 on hands, numbers, indices Bezel: Unidirectional, 120-click, sapphire insert Glass: Top hat sapphire crystal with 3 layers of anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 20ATM Strap type: Bracelet Strap material: Stainless steel bracelet with Microsliders Buckle: Stainless steel butterfly clasp Warranty: 1 year
