This New Seiko Prospex Dive Watch Might Be My Favorite Colorful Seiko in Years
Seiko isnโt exactly afraid of color. Between bright Prospex divers, limited editions, textured Presage dials, and enough shades of blue to occupy their own Pantone book, the brand has given collectors plenty to choose from. Still, the new HBC011 Prospex 1965 Heritage Diver surprised me a bit. At first glance, this may be my favorite colorful Seiko release in recent years.
Benrus DTU-2A/P Review: Why 34mm Still Makes Sense for a Military Watch
Iโve been diving even deeper into mil-spec field watches this year, and at some point I knew I wanted to spend time with the Benrus DTU-2A/P. In my mind, it represents one of the more committed attempts at producing an accurate modern version of this particular kind of military watch, without straying too far from what made the original format interesting in the first place.
Christopher Ward Is Openly Trolling Tudor With Its New Biscay Dive Watch
Christopher Ward has never been particularly shy about poking at the traditional Swiss watch industry. With its new C60 Trident Biscay collection, though, the brand has made the target unusually obvious. The accompanying campaign uses the headline โMock Tudor,โ ostensibly referencing the architectural practice of making modern buildings look older than they are. Sure. We get it.
Timex Took Another Pass at the Affordable Continental Chronographโand Most of It Works
Timex didnโt wait very long to revisit the Q Timex Continental Chronograph. The 40mm version arrived earlier this year, and the brand has already followed it with three new 36mm references. At first glance, this looks like another case of Timex offering more sizing options. Look closer and the smaller case is only part of the story.
The New Timex Expedition Pioneer Shows How Far the Collection Has Come
Timex has added another mechanical watch to the Expedition Pioneer lineup, and at first glance, the interesting part is how far the Expedition name has traveled. For a long time, Expedition was easy to understand. These were affordable Timex field watches built around simple outdoor utility. The Expedition Pioneer series has gradually stretched that definition, bringing in titanium cases, automatic movements, GMT functionality, sapphire crystals, and 200 meters of water resistance. The new Expedition Pioneer Automatic continues that shift, this time with a stainless-steel case and prices starting at $429.
