These watches SHRED! We’re dropping in on your inbox for a quick sesh with the raddest pieces of the week. From a steezy Seiko to a gnarly GP, ollie‘ve it to you to decide which one is the sickest!
ZENITH DEFY SKYLINE SKELETON
Drawing inspiration from modern cityscapes where structures and light are bound in a constantly moving interplay, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton opens a whole new world of possibilities to what a skeleton watch can be. ☠️ And guess what? It’s back in stock!
SEIKO PROSPEX SLA069 — NAOMI UEMURA
The SLA069 is niiiiice. With a rugged dial in relief, it commemorates the first mountaineer to solo summit Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Everest, and Denali – Japanese super-explorer Naomi Uemura. With cool blue accents, it’s an adventure companion! 🏔️
CHOPARD L’HEURE DU DIAMANT VINTAGE
If you’ve stopped by Feldmar in the past few months, you may have seen some pretty spicy pieces in our Chopard showcase. But you probably didn’t see this just-arrived diamond-set dazzler! We don’t want to spoil the surprise but this one’s got a case that can only be fully appreciated in person. Perfect timing then that we’re hosting a very special Mothers Day event with Chopard all week! Stop by Feldmar for a cocktail, a pink rose, and to catch a glimpse of this gorgeous piece as well as many others! 💎
GIRARD-PERREGAUX LAUREATO CHRONOGRAPH
Small wrists? Never fear! Despite measuring in at 42mm, the innovative shape of GP’s flagship chronograph means it’s a perfect fit for wrists both big and small. Come try it on for size!
TUDOR BLACK BAY 36 S&G
Two-tone AND a Jubilee bracelet? Where do we sign? Not only does this Black Bay look great, it wears well too! At 36mm, it’s right-sized for most wrists, plus many fans report that the bracelet’s smaller links equal a more exact fit. What’s not to love? 💛
ORIS PROPILOT ALTIMETER
When Oris announced this new ProPilot at Watches & Wonders, we knew we couldn’t wait to see it in person! With a carbon case and a highly unusual altimeter function, this one is a standout! ✈️
NOMOS TETRA DIE KAPRIZIÖSE
It makes sense why NOMOS would name their new pale-hued Tetra “capricious”. Depending on the light, this crazy dial color transmutes from tan to pink to nearly purple, depending on the lighting conditions. And that silvery snailed subdial? Sublime.
MONTBLANC 1858 ICED SEA
Introduced at 2022’s Watches & Wonders, the Iced Sea was Montblanc’s sporty entrant into the world of dive watches. With an update for 2023, it gets a squeaky-clean gray pattern that’s just mesmerizing! 🐬
BAUME & MERCIER RIVIERA AUTOMATIC
Hot on the heels of the AP Royal Oak, the Baume & Mercier Riviera was the world’s second steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet design. Five decades later, the Riviera is just as hot now as when it debuted in the 1970’s! And at 39mm it’s even more versatile. Available now!
JUNGHANS 1972 COMPETITION
Junghans went full-send with the 1972 chronograph! With bright features, the automatic Competition is juicy enough to meet your daily requirement of citrus intake. On second thought, don’t take medical advice from us. But if you need orange watches, we’ve got ’em 🍊
