Marathonโs Military Dive Watch Goes Titanium for the First Time
Marathon watches have never exactly been known for delicacy. Thatโs part of their appeal. With the new Marathon x Watches of Espionage Titanium SAR, I think one of the smarter decisions was figuring out how to preserve that familiar, overbuilt character while removing a considerable amount of weight.
Iโve Owned a Panerai for Years. This New Luminor Has Me Questioning Mine
Iโve owned my Panerai Luminor Base Logo PAM00777 for years. I bought it in Florence with my wife during our anniversary, at Paneraiโs flagship boutique. Thereโs enough personal history wrapped up in that watch that I donโt think I could ever sell it. But, Panerai just released a watch that makes me wish I could separate the watch from those memories for a minute.
The New Rolex The Internet Hates, But I Seriously Love
Rolex surprised us with the Perpetual Padellone, a new annual calendar and moonphase watch in the Perpetual 1908 family. And judging by some of the early reactions Iโve seen online, Rolex has already managed to piss a few people off. I think it looks fantastic.
I Bought A $23 Amazon Essentials Watch to Review. How Bad Can It Be?
There are some wild watches on Amazon. If youโve listened to the TBWS podcast for any length of time, youโve probably heard us disappear into more than a few of those rabbit holes. I actually think that kind of variety is a good thing. Thereโs an absurd amount to explore, whether youโve been collecting for years or youโre just starting to figure out what you like. The problem is that all that choice gets overwhelming fast. Iโve bought some horribly strange watches for these little experiments, and Iโve been pretty hard on a few of them afterward. Still, this is core TBWS and I love going through this stuff.
Tissot Made An Affordable PRX Chronograph I Didnโt Expect to Prefer
The automatic PRX Chronograph has always been an interesting proposition, although its 42mm case, 14.54mm thickness, and $2,150 price put some distance between it and the accessible appeal of the original PRX. Tissotโs new PRX Chronograph Quartz brings that idea back down to $525, trims the case to 41mm by 11.65mm, and adds a few functions that benefit from going quartz. I think this might be the PRX chronograph that makes more sense for the collection.
