Serica’s New Dive Watch Has A Lot More Going On Than Just A Date Window
Serica has been building a reputation on clean, symmetrical dials and a deliberately no-frills approach to tool watches since the brand launched out of France a few years ago.

It’s the kind of thing Luminox tends to do very, very well.
This Affordable Timex Is Made From Recycled Ocean Waste

The new Timex Expedition Freedive Solar is a good example of the brand doing what it does best: taking a practical concept, keeping the price solid, and not making a big deal out of it. At $159, this one is hard to dismiss outright.
At $450, The New Shinola Detrola Art Series Is Worth a Closer Look
