Feldmar Staff Picks: Fall Colors Edition
What do you call a self-winding watch in the fall? An “autumn”atic!
Puns aside, the Feldmar fam got together to select our favorite timepieces for Fall 2022. From pumpkin spice hues to crisp, crunchy bezel clicks, this list is “fall” you need!
Edgar’s Pick: ZENITH DEFY MIDNIGHT SUNSET
Once Daylight Savings Time ends on November 6, we’ll all be missing those late summer sunsets. But no sunset is as late as the Midnight Sunset from Zenith! With a full-color dial that’s impossible to miss, this is maybe the most Fall-ready watch in the store.
Lorel’s Pick: BULGARI OCTO FINISSIMO 18KT ROSE GOLD
Since arriving on the scene in 2011, the Octo Finissimo has set records and blown minds, and this version is no exception. Thanks to a warm, rose gold construction and a toasty brown lacquer dial, this watch brings the fire! Hot chocolate, anyone?
Ben’s Pick: LONGINES HERITAGE LEGEND DIVER WATCH – BROWN
From the Pumpkin Patch to the Polar Plunge, the apple-cider dial of the Longines Legend Diver is a neo-vintage classic for good reason. With its distinctive dual crown case that makes timing a cinch, you’ll be the king (or queen) of the turkey trot this year.
Jamie’s Pick: TUDOR BLACK BAY GMT S&G
Fraternizing with faraway friends and family? Fear no flight delay! Combining the best of Tudor’s collections, the two-tone Black Bay GMT is an unmistakable winner that’ll keep you on schedule no matter how hectic your holiday travel.
Jimmy’s Pick: SHINOLA THE TRAVELER CHRONO 42MM
Is it just me, or are the subdials on the Shinola Traveler giving off spooky jack-o-lantern vibes? With numerals and hands possessed by super-bright four-layer lume, you’ll be able to tell exactly how long you’ve been huddled under the blankets after watching that scary movie.
Fred’s Pick: SEIKO SPB331
Where do skeletons go for a fun night out? Anywhere, as long as it’s a hip joint. Groan if you will, but I thought that was humerus. Jokes aside, the SPB331 is no laughing matter with a killer dial and premium specs only be found in Seiko’s finest watches.
Vivi’s Pick: HERMES ARCEAU
For the perfect autumn watch, blend up one part chronograph, one part stitched leather, and a dash of color. Serve hot! Hermes Arceau timepieces “are so” perfect for fall, we just had to share!
