Zodiacโs New Release Pairs a 300M Dive Watch With a Purpose-Built Blade
Zodiac and GiantMouse have teamed up on a collaborative Super Sea Wolf Pro Diver and dive knife set, bringing together two enthusiast communities that probably overlap more than we admit. The project reportedly began with a real-world connection at Windup Watch Fair, where GiantMouse founder Jim Worth and the Zodiac team started talking watches. Worth is known to be a legitimate vintage dive watch fan, and a vintage Zodiac in a similar color configuration helped shape the direction of this release. That origin story matters to me. It feels organic, not like a branding exercise that started in a boardroom.
This Retro Citizen Ana-Digi Temp Is A Love Letter To A Special Honda
Iโll be honest, Iโm not the guy memorizing Honda chassis codes or debating which generation of Prelude peaked. Cars, for me, are transportation and the occasional design crush. That said, Iโve always had a soft spot for 1980s tech aesthetics, especially when they spill over into watches. And the Citizen Ana-Digi Temp has always been pure 1980s tech.
Christopher Ward C63 Valour Review: The Best Chronograph Under $1,000?
Over the years, Iโve spent a fair amount of headspace figuring out how I feel about Christopher Ward. Earlier in my collecting days, the brand felt up and coming, a bit experimental with its designs and branding, and somewhat difficult to pin down. Today, I see them as a focused, value-driven powerhouse with several releases that genuinely speak to me. While this certainly isnโt one of the newest hits from the brand, the watch that pulled me in was the Christopher Ward C63 Valour Chronograph introduced in 2024.
Citizen Just Crashed the Affordable Dive Watch Party With the Tsuyosa Shore
When Citizen first introduced the Tsuyosa in 2022, it carved out a clear lane for itself. Integrated steel sports watch styling, automatic movement, accessible price, and just enough personality to make it feel premium. It was easy to understand where it fit in the broader entry-level mechanical landscape. With the new Tsuyosa Shore, Citizen nudges that formula in a direction that feels strategic and just plain fun.
The RZE Resolute Type A Updates the Classic Pilot Watch Formula
I have a soft spot for pilot watches. Not because I need one, and definitely not because I spend any time in a cockpit, but because the design language is so unapologetically functional. Big numerals. Stark layouts. That triangle at twelve that every collector recognizes from across the room. It is one of those formats that either gets handled with respect or turns into a costume. So when I saw that RZE was stepping into flieger territory with the Resolute Type A, I was curious.
