Hot list: March 15, 2024
The great thing about watches is that they satisfy both the left and right sides of your brain. Yes, there’s aesthetics involved, but this is also balanced with heavy doses of math and engineering. So on this day after Pi Day, we’re giving you the 411 on the cool technical aspects of the watches of 3.14(15926535897932384) 🥧
ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT
This titanium Chronomaster Sport measures and displays elapsed time with a precision of 1/10th of a second, an engineering rarity in the world of chronographs 🧐 It combines emblematic elements of past Zenith chronograph references such as the tri-color dial, pump-style pushers and steel bracelet with a black ceramic bezel.
OMEGA SEAMASTER DIVER 300M “SUMMER BLUE”
Cool color aside, there is some serious science behind getting a watch to withstand water pressure up to 300m. The ceramic dial also is PVD-treated and has a gradient finish to reflect the watch’s level of water resistance 🤿
GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL SENATOR EXCELLENCE PERPETUAL CALENDAR
One does not simply make any old watch with a power reserve of over 4 days! The brainiacs at the lab in Glashütte really outdid themselves 🤓 How did they do it? Simple. An optimally designed spring barrel that provides a frequency of 4 hertz in the manufacture movement Calibre 36.
SEIKO PROSPEX SPB453
The Marinemaster is Seiko’s flagship series for diver’s watches for a reason, and it’s not just for the cool ‘X’ logo. Seiko designed this movement exclusively for diver’s watches via continuous innovation and enhancements over the decades in safety and reliability 🥽
CHOPARD MILLE MIGLIA CLASSIC CHRONOGRAPH
Chopard’s co-president, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, has a well-known passion for cars and racing, but he also studied economics (aka the dismal science 🔬). This chronograph is a near perfect blend of precision and aesthetics and features a 40.5 mm case, bezels, crowns and pushers made from Chopard’s exclusive ultra-tough Lucent Steel™.
CARL F. BUCHERER MANERO AUTODATE
Did you know that the John Wick character had a PhD in physics from UCLA? He didn’t, but his watch’s designers may as well have! They managed to put all this mechanical sophistication into an elegant, simple time-and-date masterpiece that can be worn for nearly any occasion 🖼️
OMEGA SEAMASTER 300M “NO TIME TO DIE” EDITION
Given our theme this week, maybe we ought to call this the “No Time to Pi” edition 🤦♂️ This 007-edition Diver is powered by OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8806, which has achieved some of the highest standards of precision, chronometric performance, and magnetic resistance in the watch industry.
LONGINES HERITAGE CONQUEST POWER RESERVE
Want to really geek out this Pi Day? Consider that this Heritage Conquest measures its power reserve on a rotating disc in the center of the dial, no small mechanical feat 👣 When paired with the champagne dial, you’ve got well-balanced beauty and brains.
RAYMOND WEIL MILLESIME SMALL SECONDS
This Raymond Weil Millesime exudes understated elegance, but it took a lot of precision to achieve those contrasting finishes 🤵♂️ Plus, look closely at the smooth hour track, the ‘snailed’ minute track, and check out how the central area of the dial is adorned with delicate vertical brushing.
HAMILTON VENTURA EDGE DUNE
Dune is a bonafide sci-fi classic. Just in time for Dune: Part Two 🏜️ we have this limited edition Ventura inspired by film and bearing a matte black PVD-coated angular case. The digital display glows in Fremen blue, which is a nice touch of fan service.
