Yema Navygraf Pearl with a Mother-of-Pearl Bezel and Dial
I’ll admit, I didn’t expect one of the most distinctive mother‑of‑pearl releases this year to come from Yema. Or to involve a dive watch bezel. But that combination alone makes the Yema Navygraf Pearl worth a closer look.
The Timex Expedition Capstone Refines What an Affordable Field Watch Can Be
There’s a certain comfort in knowing Timex will always have a field watch sitting somewhere in its catalog. I even recently picked up a smaller, solar model you might see on the site soon. The Expedition line, for better or worse, has been that reliable, no-frills option for years. It’s the kind of watch that shows up on military bases, scout trips, and dad wrists alike. It’s functional, familiar, and usually one of the first watches people buy when they start caring about timepieces. The new Expedition Capstone feels like Timex proudly admitting that practicality doesn’t have to look so plain.
This Christopher Ward GMT Has Me Questioning My Rolex Wishlist
I’ve tried, genuinely tried, not to think too much about the C60 Trident Lumiere. I loved how it looked when it dropped last year. That grained dial, the ridiculous lume blocks, the way it somehow pulled off being loud and understated at the same time. I came close to buying one. The only thing that stopped me? I kept thinking … if they ever put a GMT in this thing, I’m cooked.
This Affordable Watch From The Past Is Trying To Out-Do Casio
Catching a glimpse of this new KommandoStore Elektronika 55B on social media did something to me recently. Somewhere between browsing other questionable surplus sites and falling down rabbit holes of wartime memorabilia, it hit me. This was how it all started—with janky Soviet wristwatches and a lot of guesswork. Back when Two Broke Watch Snobs was barely a blog and mostly a chaotic text thread, we spent hours chatting about Cyrillic casebacks and figuring out whether a Poljot dial had been restored in someone’s kitchen. The Elektronika was another fixture in that world—a digital companion to the more well-known mechanical pieces.
The New Seiko Rotocall Makes Casio Look a Little Old-Fashioned
I never thought I’d see Seiko releasing a modern digital watch that actually caught my attention. I’m thinking about how much I dislike those newer digital Tuna models, for example. For a brand that helped define what digital watches could be in the ’70s and ’80s, they’ve spent most of the modern era acting like that chapter never happened. Believe me … people have been wanting this for a while.
