Hot List: June 27, 2025
They grow up so fast! One moment, it’s a ragtag bunch of guys chucking tea into the harbor, and the next it’s a 249 year old superpower 🗽 Where does the time go? If the years seem to be flying by, slow down with this week’s red-white-and-blue Hot List (which always arrives right on time!).
TUDOR PELAGOS ULTRA
Boston Harbor ain’t all that deep but in case you get the urge to dive for treasure (or the world’s most well-steeped bags of tea), strap up with the Pelagos Ultra! 🍵 Somehow, TUDOR has put together a Grade 5 titanium diver with 1,000 meters of water-resistance and a toolless microadjust clasp for under $5k.
ULYSSE NARDIN DIVER X SKELETON
UN’s surf therapy partnership with One More Wave is longstanding 🌊 For their latest collab, the two have put forth the acclaimed Diver X Skeleton in a familiar colorway that’s at once eye-catching and tactical. And looks are just part of what makes this watch great: for each piece sold, UN contributes to the well-being of America’s veterans.
OMEGA SEAMASTER AQUA TERRA 150M
Like the United States, great ideas always start small 💡 The Aqua Terra is now smaller than ever at just 30mm, making it a must-have for ladies’ wrists. And speaking of innovative ideas, it features Omega’s new caliber 8750 movement — the smallest movement in the world to receive both Chronometer and Master Chronometer (METAS) certifications.
SEIKO PROSPEX SUR608
What’s multi-colored, looks good almost anywhere, and makes us stand up and salute? If you said the grand old flag, we’ll accept that! But we were thinking more along the lines of the Prospex SUR608. Diminutive, reliable, accurate, and stylish, it’s priced at under $1k!
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER MOONWATCH PROFESSIONAL
Meet the champ! 🏆 The white Speedy dominated the opposition to take the top spot in our 64 watch annual tournament of watches this year. What a well-deserved win! It’s easily one (if not the) best release of 2024.
NOMOS AHOI NEOMATIK 38 DATE
Schoolhouse Rock taught us lots of things 📜 Like how a bill becomes law and how necessity is the mother of invention. To that end, NOMOS has been pushing innovation with its neomatik movements. Developed in-house, it’s one of the thinnest automatic movements on the market and now features in the Ahoi 38 Date!
NORQAIN WILD ONE SKELETON 39MM
Skeletons? During the Fourth of July? It might not be Halloween, but we’re still celebrating Norqain’s latest skeleton watches with wild abandon 🎉 The Wild One now comes in 39mm and if you haven’t experienced these in person, they’re a wonder of material science with cases that are strong, lightweight, and futuristic!
GRAND SEIKO ELEGANCE SBGM221
You know, it says something when a watch released in 2017 is still finding its way onto the Feldmar Hot List. Almost unchanged since its debut, the SBGM221 is about as close to perfect as it gets in watchmaking. A true GMT at under 40mm with a 3-day power reserve makes it a powerhouse! 💯
IWC PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH 41 TOP GUN
Go west, young man! A watch with “Mojave” in the name is as close as we’ll get to an American timepiece on this week’s US-coded Hot List 🌵 But what a watch it is! If you’re a fan of America’s Pastime, look for the Chronograph 41’s cousin on the wrist of Dodger’s skipper, Dave Roberts. He often rocks it on game day!
BREMONT SUPERMARINE 500M
Fun fact: the US Marine Corps is older than the United States! ⚓️That doesn’t have much to do with Bremont’s most capable dive watch, except that it has “marine” in the name (which is just super). Oh, and like a Marine, it’s extra tough thanks to the use of 904L steel — some of the toughest stuff out there.
LONGINES CONQUEST HERITAGE 40MM
Heritage… conquest… are we still talking about watches? ⚔️ Longines gave this one a big update recently with new dial colors and an all-new bracelet that’s more comfortable than ever.
RADO ANATOM AUTOMATIC
Each year, more than a few people lose digits to wayward fireworks 💥 DON’T BE THAT GUY. If you still want fireworks on your wrist, reach for Rado’s new Anatom. With its unique geometry, the Anatom has been notable for a while but with new colors, it takes on a whole new dazzling appearance!
