Hot List: May 16, 2025
Divers, daily drivers, and dual times! 🌭 We’re bringing the flavor to our Hot List with watches from Omega, Bulgari, and more! These pieces hit the showroom this week like a knuckle sandwich, each one packing more punch than the last. And like a perfect deep-fried onion ring, they’ve got us coming back for more!
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER PILOT
Think you know the Speedmaster? Think again! With pops of flavor color all across the highly functional dial, this one brings zest to one of the most popular collector pieces of all time 🍔 Made with flying in mind, it’s got aviation-inspired touches like bright lume and a seconds subdial that mimics an attitude indicator! Needless to say, this one’s got plenty of attitude all on its own.
GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL SENATOR EXCELLENCE
You might see one of the most staid and elegant watches in the entire showroom, but some “Guys” would say this perpetual calendar from Glashutte Original is totally OFF THE HOOK! 🪝 From the grained silver dial to the perfectly blued hands, it’s INTENSE, BABY!!! 🔥🔥🔥
GRAND SEIKO HERITAGE SLGH005
White Birch? More like RIGHTEOUS BIRCH! 🌲 With one of the sweetest dials we’ve seen in a while, the SLGH005 stands out on looks alone. But bite into this one, and you’ll see it’s also got one of the most radical movements in the game: Grand Seiko’s famous Hi-Beat which beats 10 times every second!
ORIS AQUIS DATE TASTE OF SUMMER
Did somebody say “TASTE”!? 🍗 Oris introduced the Taste of Summer watches last year and fans ate ’em up! Now, they’ve done it again for 2025, introducing two new references within the Aquis lineup, including this gorgeous purple baby that’s pressure resistant to 300 meters.
PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TONDA PF CHRONOGRAPH
The perfect meal ain’t complete until it’s been sprinkled with the perfect toppings 🍕 Parmigiani’s Tonda PF Chronograph kicks things up a notch with the addition of platinum casing, a finely engraved dial, and a blue hue that’ll make you go “whew”! Easily one of the best luxury sports watches on the market today, this one’s extra saucy!
BLANCPAIN FIFTY FATHOMS BATHYSCAPHE QUANTIÈME COMPLET PHASES DE LUN
In case your French ain’t up to snuff, the “Quantième Complet Phases de Lune” is a perpetual calendar moonphase with enough pizazz to make even the most outlandish food show host blush! Our favorite feature? The moon’s face! 🧀
BVLGARI OCTO FINISSIMO MANUAL WINDING
The best thing on BVLGARI’s menu might just be this Octo Finissimo! Impossibly slim and lightweight thanks to the titanium case and bracelet, it features the world’s thinnest manual wind movement. Not only that, it offers a mouth-watering 8 days of power reserve! 🍳
HAMILTON KHAKI NAVY SCUBA AUTOMATIC GMT
There’s a new kid on the block in the affordable automatic GMT category! Hamilton’s new Khaki Navy GMT joins the ranks of best budget-friendly GMT in our store and is available in either steel or bronze. It may not be the Dollar Menu, but it’s still great value! 🌮
HERMES CUT
Did you know the original name of this one was the Premium Cut? 🥩 We’re kidding. But it doesn’t have to be organic and grass-fed to be perfectly made! Like the best steaks, the Hermes Cut Watch is a rare piece of craftsmanship, fit for big and small wrists alike!
SEIKO PROSPEX SPEEDTIMER “POGUE” SSC947
How do you say “bold” in Italian? 🔥 While you look that up, let’s talk about the bold styling of Seiko’s greatest release from 2025, the re-issue of the “Pogue” chronograph! With its iconic yellow dial and black totalizers, it’s not to be missed!
BREITLING TOP TIME B01 RACING 38MM
The Top Time line has had some crazy flavors over the years but this might be the best one yet! The new chronographs from Breitling feature the in-house B01 movement in a svelte 38mm size. We recommend you “drive-in” soon to see these racing-inspired pieces in person! ⛽
RAYMOND WEIL MILLESIME CHRONOGRAPH
How about some dessert? You don’t need an XL chocolate shake with whipped cream, syrup, and cherries to satisfy your sweet tooth — just the new Millesime Chronograph from Raymond Weil. With a winning combo of rose gold and black, it’s the perfect way to end this list! 🍦🍰🍩
