Apollo 11 Only and 007 Only: Two Watchfid Books on OMEGA Speedmaster and Seamaster Watches

by Pierre-Yves in Actualités

Two new titles join our watch library: Apollo 11 Only and 007 Only, published by the Milan-based house Watchfid in its WATCHFID COLLECTIBLES series. At Mandarin Gallery we meet many Speedmaster and Seamaster enthusiasts, and these two books are exactly what they ask us for. The first covers every OMEGA Speedmaster commemorative edition dedicated to the Apollo 11 mission; the second lists every OMEGA watch linked to James Bond. Both are available now at MisterChrono Singapore at S$80 each.

Apollo 11 Only: Every Speedmaster Apollo 11 Edition Since 1969

On 21 July 1969 at 2:56 GMT, Neil Armstrong landed the Eagle lunar module on the Moon, joined some fifteen minutes later by Buzz Aldrin while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit. On their wrists, the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional became the first watch worn on the Moon — the "Moonwatch" was born.

OMEGA has celebrated that moment ever since with commemorative series. Apollo 11 Only is the first book to offer a complete overview of every Speedmaster Apollo 11 model released by the brand, from 1969 to the present day — a valuable tool to identify a reference, understand the differences between anniversary series and place a watch in the Moonwatch story.

007 Only: James Bond's OMEGA Watches, from GoldenEye to Today

Since GoldenEye in 1995, an OMEGA Seamaster has been on 007's wrist: the Seamaster Diver 300M, the Planet Ocean 600M and the Aqua Terra 150M, worn by Pierce Brosnan from 1995 to 2002 and by Daniel Craig from 2006. Alongside the films, OMEGA released several commemorative limited editions, distinct from the watches seen on screen.

007 Only is the first book to bring together every OMEGA model linked to the James Bond universe — screen-worn watches, commemorative series and limited editions. Essential reading for Seamaster collectors, or for anyone hesitating between two "Bond" references.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these books suitable for new collectors?

Yes. The text places each model in its historical context and the photography makes references easy to recognise. Experienced collectors will find a complete census that would be very hard to put together alone.

Do they make a good gift?

Both books are in English and make a well-received gift for a fellow collector, a birthday or the year-end festive season.

Is there a French edition?

Yes, a French edition exists; on this site we offer the English edition. Contact us if you need the French version.

Watch Winder Safe: the New KronoKeeper Safe for Automatic Watches

Watch winder, display tray and safe in a single piece of furniture: that is the idea behind the new KronoKeeper watch winder safe. In Singapore's constant humidity, how you store your watches matters as much as how you wear them. Fingerprint access, winders for automatic watches, cushioned trays and a humidity display — it comes in two sizes: 3 winders + 12 watches at S$2,250 and 6 winders + 24 watches at S$3,310. Why a Safe with Watch Winders? An automatic watch stops after a few days off the wrist, and you then have to reset the time — and sometimes the date or complications. A winder keeps it running; a safe keeps it protected. The KronoKeeper safe does both, with trays for quartz watches, hand-wound pieces or anything you are not wearing right now. Fingerprint Access Access is by fingerprint reader, and the drawers are operated from the touch keypad on the front. The cold-rolled steel body is covered in stitched grey microfibre leather, making it a discreet piece of furniture for a dressing room, bedroom or study. The safe is also compatible with the Tuya app. LCD Display: Temperature and Humidity at a Glance The front display shows the time, plus the temperature and humidity inside the safe. With humidity high all year round in Singapore, the built-in display showing temperature and humidity is more than a gadget: it tells you at a glance whether your collection is stored in the right conditions, ideally in an air-conditioned room. Removable Winders and Trays Each rotor has its own setting buttons and lifts out to fit the watch or for cleaning. The 12-watch trays, lined in light grey suede-like microfibre with a cushion per slot, slide out of the drawer so you can choose the watch of the day or show your collection. Two Models to Choose From KronoKeeper Watch Winder Safe – 3 Winders + 12-Watch Tray — S$2,250: 15 watches in total, 2 drawers, approx. 40 × 35 × 35 cm (H × W × D), 19 kg. KronoKeeper Watch Winder Safe – 6 Winders + 2 Trays (24 Watches) — S$3,310: 30 watches in total, large glass-front drawer with 2 trays, approx. 35 × 76 × 35 cm (H × W × D), 29 kg. Frequently Asked Questions Do the winders suit every automatic watch? Each rotor is set independently with its own buttons, so you can adapt it to each watch. If you are unsure about your movement, ask our team. What is the difference with a simple winder? The safe adds security (fingerprint access, steel body), storage for your whole collection and humidity monitoring — where a stand-alone winder only keeps two or three watches running. When is it available? Both models can be ordered now; first deliveries are planned from November 2026. Available at MisterChrono Singapore Free delivery across Singapore.

KronoKeeper aluminium watch case for 36 watches

Aluminium Watch Case for 36 Watches: Store and Travel with Your Whole Collection

Once a collection grows past twenty watches, storage becomes a serious question: how do you bring everything to a watch meet, a boutique or a safe without scratches or knocks? Many Singapore collectors travel regularly across the region, and keeping a large collection safe on the road is a real challenge. KronoKeeper's answer is an aluminium watch case with 36 slots, adjustable cushions and TSA locks — now at MisterChrono Singapore for S$740. 36 Watches on Two Removable Trays The case holds two 18-slot trays lined in grey suede-like microfibre. Each tray lifts out independently — handy for showing your collection, choosing the watch of the day or storing one tray on its own. A suede sheet sits between the two levels so watches never touch. Cushions That Adapt to Every Watch The cushions come in two sizes and work with an add-on cushion system. Combined, every slot adapts to wrist sizes from 160 to 195 mm: a dress watch on leather, a diver on a steel bracelet or a large chronograph all stay secure with the strap closed, with no movement in transit. Your Straps Travel with the Collection The lid features elastic bands that hold spare leather, rubber or fabric straps flat — ideal if you like to travel with two or three options per watch. A True Travel Case The ribbed aluminium shell protects against knocks and the carry handle makes it easy to move around. Flying out of Changi with your collection? The two TSA combination locks allow airport security to inspect the case without forcing it. At home, the case keeps up to 36 watches in a compact footprint — ideal for condo living. Specifications Capacity: 36 watches (2 removable trays of 18) Cushions: 2 sizes + add-on cushion, wrists 160 to 195 mm Shell: ribbed silver aluminium, carry handle Interior: grey suede-like microfibre Lid: elastic bands for spare straps Closure: 2 TSA combination locks Weight: approx. 5.5 kg Frequently Asked Questions Can I fly with this case? Yes. The TSA locks allow inspection without damage. For a valuable collection, we recommend keeping it with you in the cabin if your airline's size limits allow. Does it suit small wrists? Yes: with two cushion sizes and the add-on cushion, it covers 160 to 195 mm. For very short steel bracelets, use the small cushion without the add-on. Can I use it for storage at home? Absolutely — it is also a compact way to store a large collection in a cupboard or a safe. Available Now at MisterChrono Singapore The KronoKeeper aluminium watch case for 36 watches is available at S$740. Free delivery across Singapore, and you can see it at our boutique at Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road. For collections that also need winding and security, discover our KronoKeeper watch winder safe and all our travel cases for watches.
