In what seems like a mini eternity ago, way back in 2012, Omega released a watch called the “First Omega in Space.” It was a Speedmaster that honored the – well – first Omega Speedmaster to ever go to space on the wrist of astronaut Wally Schirra as part of the Sigma 7 mission on October 3rd 1962 in which he orbited the Earth six times.

The Stern family has been at the helm of Patek Philippe since the 1930s, and for all intents and purposes the family has been responsible for – or, at the very least, overseen – just about every notable iconic release from the brand in the modern wristwatch age. Sure, split-seconds chronographs and the first Patek perpetual calendar wristwatch pre-date the Stern legacy, but when it comes to pure iconography across known collections spanning the Calatrava, the Nautilus, the Ellipse, and the Aquanaut – names that make boutiques quiver at the notion of adding yet another name to a medieval scroll's worth of a waitlist – we can all thank generations of the Stern family. And now we can add the Patek Philippe Cubitus to that list.

There are some watches that kind of stay with you. They may not be in your wheelhouse as far as taste is concerned (or at least what you think your taste is), but something about them just resonates. This is how I feel, and have felt, about the Zenith Chronomaster Revival Shadow, a watch that has been in production for some time, one that I have reviewed in the past, and one that I still do not own but which continues to take up valuable real estate in my brain.

The watch industry is quite a small world, and being part of that world means running into a similar cohort of folks. That also means building relationships, and creating friendships. It turns out that a lot of those people are very creative, and end up making very cool things. That feeling never quite wears off when you see good people you know, good friends, make good stuff. This is a half poetic way of getting to the point that our pals over at Time + Tide (while simultaneously building a watch discovery studio in London) have teamed up with TAG Heuer to release one of the more fun limited editions of 2024.

In what may be the worst kept secret in watches, Omega has officially now launched a watch that has been circulating on the internet for months, ever since Daniel Craig wore it to the Paris Olympic Games. I am of course talking about the mystery no-date, black Seamaster Diver 300m on a mesh bracelet that – as of today – is no longer a mystery. That's right, after some nifty Photoshop work by yours truly, we finally have a look at the real thing. And folks, it's quite literally everything we thought it would be. Oh, except for the fact that Omega has also gone and launched a

The Seiko SSK GMT line has slowly taken the watch world by storm, and Seiko took the SKX-style format this year and updated it with a trio of new dial formats. Earlier this year, I wrote a story on what – at the time – was every single existing SKX-style Seiko SSK GMT on the market, but that story is officially out of date.

G-Shock is celebrating a big birthday this year. And much like many industries, it is taking its 40th anniversary as a chance to look to the past, to get nostalgic, to wax digital. The the thing is, where a brand like TAG Heuer can make a statement with the launch of the KITH F1 watches in near ‘80-faithful form, or even Timex can reissue the IronMan in a 1:1 configuration (JDM only, sorry USA), G-Shock is in a bit of tough spot…for a good reason. I think of it like the affordable, digital version of the Speedmaster Moonwatch, a design that has been altered, but in many ways is a watch that has effectively been in uninterrupted production since the 1960s – and we love that.

In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their first steps on the lunar surface wearing Omega Speedmasters. That same year, Omega didn't rest on its laurels. Instead it launched one of its most – let's say – esoteric designs: The Flightmaster. It was so esoteric that even the letter “f” in its name was lowercase on the dial. The late ‘60s were crazy man. Well, as you might expect from a watch replete with all manner of colorful flourishes, it became a cult icon. For years, friends of mine have been patiently awaiting its return. Today, Omega

As someone who typically leans towards the toolish side of Seiko's offerings, there was something about the watch I bring you today which stopped me in my tracks for an inexplicable reason. Perhaps it is explicable (perhaps in real time while writing this) and I may figure out a way to explic...I mean, explain it. Yes, I am coming to you to introduce a new Seiko Presage Classic model. It is called the SPB478J1, and I think it just might be

The deeper you get into this watch hobby, the more you start to understand what a “you” watch is. You build a collection, no matter how big or small, that either jives with your style, your wrist size, or your general vibe. For example, I tend to gravitate towards
