Hot List: June 28, 2024
Get ready for a big ka-boom! Next Wednesday is Independence Day, and we’re setting things off with a blast of a Hot List! From new, all-ceramic Bathyscaphes to sparkling Seamasters, we’ve got the arsenal ready this week! 💥
BLANCPAIN FIFTY FATHOMS BATHYSCAPHE
F
Blancpain lobbed a cherry bomb our way this week with new members of the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe family! A blue sunburst gradient dial brings the Quantième Complet Phases de Lune to life while an all-new ceramic bracelet lends a new feel to the watch as well.
GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL SENATOR EXCELLENCE PERPETUAL CALENDAR
For the “IV of July”, why not celebrate with some Roman candles and Roman numerals? The Senator Excellence from G.O. has one of the most captivating dials we’ve seen and manages to display all six complications cleanly! Can you spot them all?
PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TONDA PF SPORT CHRONOGRAPH
This week, our friends at Parmigiani Fleurier stopped by to give a look at all of the 2024 novelties including their newest, the Milano Blue version of the Tonda PF Sport. Adding classy coloration to the chronograph, this one lives up to the hype! Available now!
OMEGA SEAMASTER AQUA TERRA 150M
Another recent release came from Omega. Last Friday, it set some black cats on the world with black-dial variants of the Aqua Terra in 34, 38, and 41mm sizes. With smoothly untextured, high contrast dials, these ooze class and sophistication!
ULYSSE NARDIN FREAK X
July 4 may be a celebration of the American Experiment, but we’re making room to recognize the Swiss Experiment too! Turning hundreds of years of watchmaking upside down, the Freak X has no hands and no dial! With a crown at 3:00 to make time-setting a cinch, this is a beautiful Freak!
OMEGA SEAMASTER DIVER 300M
While we love a good fireworks display, cool guys don’t look at explosions… especially not James Bond! The 60th Anniversary edition of the Seamaster 300 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, and this is winner!
TUDOR BLACK BAY 58
After the Black Bay 58 arrived on the scene in 2018, it took off like a bottle rocket! While the sub-collection has expanded in recent years, the original is tough to beat. Classic black meets gilt accents to create one of the finest 200m divers on the market today.
CHRONOSWISS DELPHIS SAPPHIRE
Once per hour, the oversized minute hand of the Delphis leaps back to the left side of the dial, causing the hour window to update with an equally satisfying snap! It all makes the Chronoswiss an independent hit! Oh, and it’s available in red, white, or blue.
CARL F. BUCHERER HERITAGE BICOMPAX ANNUAL
The Heritage BiCompax Annual from CFB manages to do the (near) impossible. Namely, it fits a ton of functionality on the dial without overlap! No small feat, since the watch offers all the utility of an annual calendar including a large-format date window.
SEIKO PROSPEX SPB143 1965 DIVER’S MODERN RE-INTERPRETATION
It’s the end of an era for the SPB143! Seiko has announced it is phasing out the popular neo-vintage diver. But don’t fear: the 62MAS case lives on with the new 40mm versions also in the Prospex collection. With its smoky dial, this watch is bomb!
TAG HEUER MONACO “DARK LORD” CHRONOGRAPH
Since 1969, Jack Heuer’s Monaco has had one of the most identifiable watch case profiles ever made. Jump forward 55 years and it’s still a hit! So whether you’re waiting until dark to light off Jumpin’ Jacks or grilling in the daytime, the Dark Lord version of the Monaco is sure to turn heads.
IWC AUTOMATIC 40
Hail to the Chief! Whether you’re manning the grill or setting off sky rockets, the shock-proof Ingenieur is a mission ready companion for your Independence Day celebrations. Long awaited, the new 40mm Ingenieur is available now at Feldmar!
