Hot List: November 17, 2023
Listen up, turkeys! (We mean that lovingly) 🦃 With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we’re warming up the oven with some of the hottest watches of the week. From a Seiko stuffed with features to an award-winning Raymond Weil, there’s room for “seconds”. Let’s eat! 😋
TUDOR BLACK BAY 54
👨🏼🍳 Recipe for a perfect watch:
1. Start with the Black Bay 58, a modern classic
2. Reduce to 37mm
3. Serve on a wrist!

IWC PILOT’S WATCH — PERFORMANCE CHRONOGRAPH 41
IWC does it again! The newest piece from the Pilot’s Watch collection is the Performance Chrono 41. This one has got all the fixins’ from a tachymeter to chronograph functionality. Created in collaboration with legendary Formula 1 team, Mercedes-AMG Petronas, this one’s got racing in its DNA! 🏎️
ORIS PROPILOT X LASER – CALIBER 400
Anyone who’s prepared a Thanksgiving meal knows, it’s a team effort 🤝🏼 So when Oris teamed up with Swiss research university ETH Zürich to develop an entirely new lasering technique never seen in watchmaking before, the result was an iridescent dial that contains millions of colors without using a single drop of pigment.
BREMONT SUPERMARINE GMT S302
For Bremont, the holidays came early! In the last month, the brand has launched no fewer than 12 new references in three different collections! One of the best is this S302 GMT. In addition, last week Feldmar helped launch the Waterman Apex II with none other than Laird Hamilton! 🏄🏼♂️ Check it out!
SEIKO PROSPEX ALPINIST GMT SPB379
Jell-O pie? Hard pass. Seiko’s new Alpinist GMTs? We’ll take an extra helping! 🙌🏼 With its signature internal bezel and a 24-hour scale on the exterior, this stylish stunner does it all!
This year, Seiko is sponsoring the Sol Meller Memorial Blood Drive! Be sure to register to give blood, and go hands on with this and other fantastic new releases in person!
RAYMOND WEIL MILLESIME SMALL SECONDS
Congrats to Raymond Weil! This year, the Millesime Small Seconds took the coveted Challenge Prize at the prestigious GPHG awards 🥇 Bestowed upon the best watch for under $2,000, other contenders this year included Seiko’s SPB381 and the electric green NOMOS Club Campus!
OMEGA SEAMASTER AQUA TERRA 38MM “SUMMER BLUE”
The Thanksgiving dinner table ain’t the only place you risk getting some gravy on your wrist… the Omega showcase at Feldmar has been known to provide some serious “drip”! 😂 The 38mm Aqua Terra from the Summer Blue collection continues to impress any time of year!
NOMOS AHOI NEOMATIK 38 DATE SKY
Grey November skies got you down? Even if your drive home from that big family gathering is in total darkness at 5:00 p.m., the dinner-plate dial of NOMOS’ latest Ahoi neomatik will light up your face 🔦But, hey, keep your eyes on the road!
BULOVA OCEANOGRAPHER GMT “DEVIL DIVER”
There’s always that one dish at Thanksgiving that’s divisive. Yams? Casserole? Deviled eggs? Fortunately, there’s widespread agreement that Bulova’s newest “Devil Diver” is a winner 😈 With prominent markers and GMT functionality combined with the famous 666 feet of water-resistance, this one brings it all together.
ZENITH DEFY SKYLINE SKELETON
Is the gridiron part of your Thanksgiving tradition? 🏈 Why not introduce a different grid to your routine? The symmetrical grid of the Skyline Skeleton‘s dial makes for an unbeatable teammate on gameday (or any day!)
ZODIAC SUPER SEA WOLF LHD PRO-DIVER GMT
When you look at Zodiac’s Super Sea Wolf LHFD Pro-Diver, do you notice all the triangles? Maybe it’s because we’ve got pie on the brain, but when we see the hands, dial markers, and bezel, we see a delicious slice of pumpkin pie Swiss watchmaking! 🥧
