Hot List: April 25, 2025
“I feel super connected to watches” 🌼 The mics and cameras were rolling during Feldmar’s recent all watch-geek spaceflight, and by the looks of it, Scott and Freddy had a great time (despite images of them kissing the ground upon landing.) During the 11 minutes they were gone, we rounded up the top 11 watches of the week 🚀 Let’s count ’em down!
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MOONPHASE
You can’t go to space without a Speedmaster! Add in a date feature plus a moonphase, and you’re all set for your next spaceflight. Notice anything about that dial? Yep — it’s made from an actual meteorite! ☄️ How’s that for authentic?
RESSENCE TYPE 1 SLIM
Going to space is an all-hands-on-deck endeavor 🫶 From the engineers to the scientists to the brave celebrities who inspire us on launch day, a lot needs to come together 😏 Similarly, a Ressence watch is a finely calibrated machine, albeit one without hands! With its signature rotating discs, it puts a new spin on timekeeping.
ULYSSE NARDIN DIVER NET VENDÉE GLOBE
Need the perfect watch for splashdown? The Ulysse Nardin Diver has got you covered! The NET Vendée Globe is limited to only 300 pieces worldwide and celebrates the only non-stop solo sailing race that circumnavigates — or you could say “orbits” — the planet! 🔁
RAYMOND WEIL MILLESIME SMALL SECONDS 35MM
Since winning the Challenge Prize at the GPHG in 2023, the Millesime has taken on new shapes and sizes, the latest of which is this 35mm version! 🤏 With the same sector dial that made the original famous, this is a fun interpretation!
TAG HEUER FORMULA 1 CHRONOGRAPH
Coming soon to Feldmar, TAG Heuer’s new Formula 1 Chronograph takes on a futuristic look in black DLC titanium! With yellow-green accents, it’s clear this one was built for SPEED 🐆
BAUME & MERCIER RIVIERA AUTOMATIC
You don’t need to be dating the billionaire owner of a spaceflight company to experience the feeling of weightlessness! 💸 With a titanium bezel and rubber strap, this Riviera is lighter on the wrist than its stainless steel cousins and looks just as snazzy!
TRILOBE NUIT FANTASTIQUE BRUME
Another titanium watch! Are you sensing a theme? Apparently, we wanted to keep this week’s list as light as possible — just like a space capsule! 🖤 Trilobe’s Nuit Fantastique is not only fantastic, but uses a creative system to tell the time. In the photo above, it’s almost 1:56!
ULYSSE NARDIN FREAK X 43MM
What’s more beautiful than a daisy floating around a space ship? 🌼 How about the Freak X from UN? With its signature no-hands/no-dial architecture, this one is living rent free in our heads. Plus, with a black DLC titanium case, it’s super-stealthy!
TISSOT PRX QUARTZ 40MM
Need the right watch that really *pops* with your skin-tight blue spacesuit? 🧑🚀️ Reach for the Tissot PRX! With a new red dial that can’t be missed, this sub-$400 watch looks like a million bucks! (the same amount you paid for your ticket to space).
MUHLE GLASHUTTE S.A.R. FLIEGER-CHRONOGRAPH
Picture this: your space capsule landed off-target and you’re now stuck in the desert. You’ll want the right tool-watch for the occasion, and few at Feldmar are better equipped than the “Search & Rescue” from Muhle! With a destro configuration, you won’t be “left” hanging for long! ⏱️
NOMOS CLUB SPORT NEOMATIK 34
Did you know astronauts experience weight-loss once returning to earth? We’re not sure how many lbs you’ll drop during a 10-minute jaunt, but you can still appreciate thinness with NOMOS’s Club Sport 34. Featuring the brand’s in-house neomatik movement, this is a gorgeous daily watch that’s under 9mm thick! ⚖️
