Hot List: November 8, 2024
It’s another edition of the Feldmar Hot List! With several heavy hitters arriving in the store this week, it was tough to pick the best ones, but we managed! 🎯 This week’s list features stunners from Omega, Longines, IWC, and more. Which one’s your favorite?
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER “BLUE SIDE OF THE MOON”
Bringing together blue ceramic and bright gold, this is one of the most compelling pieces from Omega’s sprawling Speedmaster collection 🌝 Drawing inspiration from the dark blue hue of the night sky, this piece is a salute to the Apollo lunar missions of the 1960s!
LONGINES LEGEND DIVER 39MM
Shoutout to the Legend Diver! 🌊 Yesterday, we had a great event with Longines, celebrating one of the best dive watches in the game. We partied with food, snacks, and even some giveaways! Stay tuned for the recap! Missed out on the fun? Live vicariously by picking up one of these divers today.
IWC PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH 41 TOP GUN
Eagle-eyed watch geeks will have noticed what Dave Roberts, coach of the Dodgers, had on his wrist during LA’s recent World Series win… this exact watch! With a patented Ceratanium coating, it takes on a matte appearance not seen anywhere else in the watch world 🌵
CHRONOSWISS DELPHIS HORIZON
Once per hour, the oversized minute hand of the Delphis leaps back to the left side of the dial, causing the hour window to update with an equally satisfying snap! It all makes the Chronoswiss an independent hit! Oh, and it’s available in red, white, or blue ❤️🤍💙
GIRARD-PERREGAUX LAUREATO CHRONOGRAPH
Now what do we have here? It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a new Laureato but the wait was worth it! Limited to just 180 pieces worldwide, the new Ice Blue chronograph is an immediate head-turner 🧊 We’ve only got one, so don’t delay. Once this one’s gone, it’s gone for good!
SEIKO PROSPEX SPB455
With a depth rating up to 300 meters and backed by nearly a hundred years of Seiko’s famous dive heritage, the new Prospex SPB455 is all about adventure! Limited to just 1,400 pieces, this warm gold and gray 62MAS diver is an amazing catch! 🆒
ULYSSE NARDIN BLAST SKELETON X
Found only in a handful of watches, Carbonium Gold has a certain warmth to it that other carbon watches don’t. Why’s that? Because the special alloy contains actual gold! Once again, Ulysse Nardin has shown that when it comes to making watches that truly defy convention, it’s in a league of its own 🏅
ZODIAC SUPER SEA WOLF COMPRESSION DIVER II
Celebrating Zodiac’s vintage compression diver catalog, the modern versions have their own tricks up their sleeves! The latest variants feature captivating dials made out of stone including lapis lazuli, color-matched to a sapphire bezel 🤘 Available now!
OMEGA SEAMASTER DIVER 300M
What do you call James Bond when he goes diving? Bubble-oh-7! 😂 This hard-to-find Seamaster Diver 300M recently arrived at Feldmar and features a mesh link bracelet, bright white lumed dial elements, and a special bezel that tops out at “60” – unlike some of Bond’s cars.
ZENITH DEFY SKYLINE AMERICAS EDITION
Specific to the American market, this unique version of the Defy Skyline features a green/black/orange combo that’s hard to pull off outside of Halloween. But somehow it works! Using the brand’s famous high-frequency El Primero movement, it’s fun to watch the subdial hand spin round and round at rapid speed! 🌀
MIDO OCEAN STAR 39
There’s something in the air! If you want to know which way the “watch winds” have been blowing in recent years, look no further than the 39mm Ocean Star. Mido nailed the collector checklist with great lume, a wearable size, 200 meters of water resistance, and plenty of power reserve (72 hours!). Available at just over $1k, there are few watches that get this many things right! 💯
BREITLING CHRONOMAT B01 LOS ANGELES RAMS
With four wins and four losses, our hometown Rams aren’t exactly the GOATs this year 🐏 But the limited edition NFL Chronomats are a different story! Featuring the brand’s in-house B01 movement and your favorite team’s logo on the dial, this one might just go all the way!
