Hot List: May 2, 2025
All aboard! 🚂 Scott is conducting this week’s Hot List and it’s a real cannonball. We’ve linked up the best pieces to come in this week, from the new Triple Calendar Chronomaster to a crucially cool Clifton. This week’s list has got it all!
BREITLING NAVITIMER B19 CHRONOGRAPH 43
We’re calling this one “Blue Heat.” With Breitling’s in-house perpetual calendar movement, plus the Navitimer’s famous slide-rule inner bezel, there’s little this watch can’t do. And it looks damn good doing it. 💙
ZENITH CHRONOMASTER ORIGINAL TRIPLE CALENDAR
When Zenith announced the Triple Calendar Chronomaster last year, it was an instant sensation. Now, to help celebrate the brand’s 160th year, Zenith has introduced the powerful yet svelte watch in rose gold! 🌹
IWC PILOT’S WATCH AUTOMATIC 41
Well, that didn’t take long. A few weeks ago, we shared that the IWC Pilot’s Watch 41 in white Ceratanium would be coming soon to Feldmar. Now it’s already here! The white case treatment is a proprietary composition that offers the lightness of titanium with the scratch resistance of ceramic 🤍🤍
RESSENCE TYPE 1 ROUND M
Ressence watches have always been innovative… now, they’re fun too! This Type 1 features the brand’s famous rotating subdials but adds in a blast of color. Need a “hand”y guide?
🔵 = minutes
🟢 = hours
🟡 = seconds
🔴 = days
TUDOR PELAGOS ULTRA
The Pelagos line has a new member! Announced at Watches & Wonders 2025, the Pelagos Ultra is the most capable watch in its class 🦍 With an all-titanium build, METAS certification, and 1,000 meters of water-resistance, we challenge you to find a comparable watch at this price-point. They don’t exist!
TUDOR BLACK BAY 58
BEHOLD. It’s here. And it’s red. Arguably the most popular collectors watch of the last decade, the Black Bay 58 takes on new life in burgundy tones! Oh, and like many TUDORs these days, it’s now METAS-certified! 🍷
ZENITH CHRONOMASTER SPORT
Now what do we have here? Zenith’s Chronomaster Sport got the meteorite treatment and it’s never looked better. With touches of red on the hands, this one is “gray”t 😏😏
OMEGA SEAMASTER DIVER 300M
The watch so nice, we featured it twice! A couple weeks back, we shared this watch’s twin, available on mesh bracelet. Presented on black rubber, this bronze-gold Seamaster somehow morphs from vintage charm to super sporty! 🏅
GRAND SEIKO HERITAGE SBGA413
If you haven’t experienced this watch “in the metal,” we recommend you do so immediately. In stock now, the “Shunbun” is made from Grand Seiko’s proprietary high-intensity titanium giving it a lightweight feel and luster that’s impossible to describe ⚖️ Add in the famous Zaratsu finishing (not easy to do on titanium!) and you’ve got one of the most well-constructed watches available today.
BAUME & MERCIER CLIFTON 10792
There’s no denying that of all the brands at Feldmar, Baume & Mercier offers some of the best value. Thanks to its Baumatic movement, this Clifton not only has a 5-day power reserve, but comes with an 8-year warranty, among the best in the biz 💪 Plus, it looks like a million bucks!
CITIZEN SERIES8 890
We’ve sung the praises of Citizen’s Series8 collection in the past but we won’t miss an opportunity to do it again! 🎱 With titanium construction that integrates the case and bracelet, and an internal rotating bezel, it’s one of the best looking and best feeling divers in its class. And did we mention the dial?!
