Cool List: January 17, 2025
In case you haven’t seen the news recently… count yourself lucky 😞 In and around Los Angeles, we’ve seen the worst of Mother Nature and the best of humanity. As we emerge from the devastation of the wildfires, we want to bring you a little distraction with the best watches to arrive at Feldmar in the past two weeks! Thank you as always for joining us. We’re glad you’re here! 🤗
IWC PORTUGIESER HAND-WOUND TOURBILLON DAY & NIGHT
There’s a lot that makes this never-before-seen-at-Feldmar watch unique. For one, the tourbillon movement represents IWC’s technical mastery while the 18kt Armor gold helps it shine bright. Then there’s the hand-wound 84-hour power reserve. But it might be the indicator at 9 o’clock that stands out the most! Using a bisected ball that rotates fully every 24-hours, it shows day-night in a novel way! 🔄
TUDOR PELAGOS FXD CHRONO
When we say “peloton” do you think of meme stocks or professional racing? Strap in for the Pelagos FXD chronograph, a watch devoted to the sport of cycling! It features a special track around the dial that’s specially calibrated to time cycling races! 🚲
ORIS DIVERS SIXTY-FIVE ANNIVERSARY EDITION
Salute to one of the real ones! 🫡 Oris says goodbye to the Divers Sixty-Five with one final anniversary edition. Evoking the design of the original, the 2025 version clears the way for the Sixty-Five’s successor, the Diver Date. We’re loving the retro numerals and lollipop seconds hand!
OMEGA SEAMASTER DIVER 300M
The watch is Bond… James Bond 🤵 The 60th Anniversary edition of Omega’s Seamaster 300M has a blue wave dial and a unique “60” indication at the top of the bezel. Pair that with a special sapphire caseback celebrating 007, a mesh link bracelet, and bright white lumed dial elements and this one’s simultaneously dressy and mission-ready – just like James!
BREITLING AVENGER 42 NIGHT MISSION
This Night Mission is bright! Breitling’s Avenger Chronograph pairs the brooding dark ceramic case found on other Night Mission variants with a tropical blue dial that shines bright! Bringing together the two puts the “fun” in functionality! 🌴
BULOVA OCEANOGRAPHER SNORKEL
Bulova changed the game this week by announcing the wallet-friendly Oceanographer Snorkel! 🤿 Available in four fun styles, these 100M divers are perfect for everyday water activities (like snorkeling!) and use colored cases made from lightweight hybrid ceramic materials. Which one are you reaching for?
PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TORIC PETITE SECONDE
There’s something sneaky about platinum watches. From a distance, they look just like steel, but when handled, it’s clear they’re made of special stuff. The Parmigiani Toric is one such watch and with its clean lines and classy motifs, its one of the most elegant pieces at Feldmar! 🎩
IWC PORTUGIESER AUTOMATIC 40
The collection so nice, we featured it twice! IWC’s Portugieser comes in a few varieties but one of the most elegant is the small-seconds version. With a big, broad salmon dial, the 40mm timekeeper appears legible and oh-so refined! 🍣
GRAND SEIKO EVOLUTION 9 SBGE285
Grand Seiko’s got a lot of great watches, but surely one of the best is the SBGE285. With a case made from the brand’s special high-intensity titanium, it also features a delicately textured dial with a pattern echoing the morning mist that envelops the Nagano mountains in winter 🗻
NORQAIN INDEPENDENCE SKELETON CHRONO
Something about the purple/black combo is just so captivating! As if the color-scheme of Norqain’s newest Independence Skeleton weren’t enough, the chronometer-certified chronograph functionality is pretty impressive! 🐦⬛
TAG HEUER AQUARACER PROFESSIONAL 200 SOLARGRAPH
Is this the future of luxury divers? The TAG Solargraph derives its name from the solar-powered movement that reduces maintenance to almost zero! 🌞 Say goodbye to regular service overhauls and even battery changes. Plus, it’s available in both 34mm and 40mm versions!
TISSOT PRX 40MM BLACK CARBON
The PRX has been a collector hit these past few years. The latest version employs a rarely seen combo: a carbon case and dial! 🖤 Plus, the famous Powermatic 80 movement offers an impressive 80 hours of power reserve when fully wound, and it’s all featured on a space-age textured rubber strap.
CASIO G-SHOCK DW5000R
A re-creation of the original DW5000 from 1983, this one features a rarely-seen steel module within G-Shock’s famous resin exterior. Play the hits, Casio! 📼
