Sinn Just Made an Automatic Military Watch for an Extremely Specific Job
Sinn has added another watch to its long-running Einsatzzeitmesser, or Mission Timer, family, and I think the new EZM 19 might be one of the stranger interpretations of the concept. Developed around what Sinn describes as the needs of command staff working through time-sensitive operations, the watch organizes its dial around prominent four-hour intervals. That sounds extremely specific. Then again, this is Sinn, and to me, that specificity is a big part of why the EZM 19 works.
One of Our Favorite Microbrands Just Gave Its GMT Watch a Serious Upgrade
Baltic has returned to the Aquascaphe GMT with a new MK-II, and I think the most interesting change is one you wonโt immediately see. The French brand has moved to Miyotaโs 9075 GMT movement, giving the watch an independently adjustable local hour hand. To me, that makes way more sense for a watch designed around travel.
DOXA Finally Made the Titanium Dive Watch I’d Actually Buy
DOXA has been busy this year. Between new chronographs, limited editions, collaborations, and the return of the SUB 750T last year, the brand hasnโt exactly given us much time to wonder what comes next. Now we have another addition: the SUB 300 Ti5, a new permanent collection that brings Grade 5 titanium to one of DOXAโs most recognizable dive watches. And yes, THIS is how you do it.
Tudor Brought Back Its Cult-Favorite Sports Watch With a Major Upgrade
Tudor has brought back one of the stranger watches from its modern catalog. The North Flag, discontinued in 2021 after a relatively under-the-radar six-year run, has returned as the Northflag with a GMT movement, a revised case, and enough changes to make this feel like a proper second generation. And at first glance, this version gets me really, really excited.
The TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Gets the Design Right, But $13,400 Is a Big Ask
I feel like the Monza has always taken up a slightly weird corner of TAG Heuerโs chronograph catalog. To me, the Carrera and Monaco have clearer identities, while the Monza has spent decades changing shape and character. TAG Heuerโs latest version seems comfortable continuing that pattern, although this time the design feels way easier to understand.
