Seiko’s Most Popular Affordable Chronograph Just Got a Colorful Upgrade
Seiko is adding three new solar chronographs to the Prospex Speedtimer lineup for 2026, and the approach here feels deliberately grounded. The SSC961, SSC963, and SSC965 are not limited editions or short-run references. They are regular-production models, positioned to sit in the catalog long term rather than cycle through quickly. It’s been hard for me to keep up with these but the exciting part here is getting access to previously limited colorways in a standard production run.
Sangin Professional Review: A Collector’s Take on a Modern Military Watch
A few years ago, I started feeling worn down by how many so-called military watch brands were flooding my feed. I was already drawn to that genre as a collector, but the disconnect between the imagery and the reality became harder to ignore.

Tissot Updates Its PR516 Automatic Watch With Two New Dial Colors
Tissot is adding two new dial colors to its PR516 38mm Powermatic 80, extending a collection that has been steadily regaining relevance since its return in 2024. This update doesn’t introduce a new case, movement, or configuration. Instead, it focuses squarely on color as a way to refresh what I think is one of the brand’s most approachable mechanical offerings.
Rdunae Field Watch RA02 Review: Military Watch DNA For Under $50
If you’ve spent any time reading TBWS over the years, you already know where my bias lives. British military watches have been a long-running problem for me. I’ve owned more than a few CWC pieces, lived with them, written about them, and kept circling back to the same design language over and over again. There’s something about those no-nonsense General Service watches, the ones that came out of real procurement needs rather than marketing exercises, that still gets under my skin.
