Hot List: October 11, 2024
This week, we wrapped up Fat Watch Week! Our own take on Fat Bear Week, fans foraged for the watch that best combines looks, wearability, size, and adaptability 🐻 Winning the inaugural FWW was the Zenith Defy Skyline Chronograph! To celebrate, we’re rooting out some tasty watches for this week’s Hot List. Don’t sleep on these creatures!
LONGINES FLAGSHIP HERITAGE MOONPHASE
Longines is on a tear! With one hot release after another, the brand has proven why it’s one of the most popular at Feldmar. The newest references come from the Heritage collection and feature a highly symmetrical moonphase and calendar complication – perfect for when you need to know exactly when it’s time to start your hibernation 😴
PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TORIC PETITE SECONDE
Finding treasure means something to grizzlies. While a raw Chinook salmon straight from the river is good and all, we prefer the golden tones of the Parmigiani Toric! New from the Watches & Wonders show this year, the relaunched Toric collection is the pinnacle of the brand’s fine watchmaking 🏅
ZENITH DEFY SKYLINE SUSAN G. KOMEN LIMITED EDITION
This time of year is particularly special to us here at Feldmar. Later this month, Team Sol Meller will participate in the annual LA Cancer Challenge while November 30 is our Sol Meller Memorial Blood Drive! For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Zenith has partnered with the Susan G. Komen Foundation for a special limited edition version of the Defy Skyline! 🎗
NOMOS TANGENTE 2DATE
Last week, NOMOS announced the newest Tangente. Called the 2Date, it features (you guessed it) two date complications! ✌️ Driven by NOMOS’s newest in-house caliber movement, this is the watch for when you absolutely need to be sure which day to start your winter slumber.
OMEGA SEAMASTER REGATTA
If you’re ever chased by a hungry grizzly, head for the nearest body of water. Bears can’t swim! Just kidding. They’re actually excellent swimmers and you’re pretty much toast regardless of what you do 😵 But if you do need to jump in the water, Omega’s newest titanium analog-digital Seamaster is a fun continuation of the Regatta collection.
RESSENCE TYPE 3 BLACK
When we heard a new version of the Type 3 was on the way, we could hardly “bear” the wait! Using a new color palette for the day and temperature indicators as well as an updated typeface, this oil-filled marvel is one of the most unique watches in the store! 🖤
OMEGA CONSTELLATION GLOBEMASTER
How do you fatten up for the winter? Holiday pies? 🥧 If so, this is the watch for you. The unique geometry of the Globemaster’s dial is called “pie-pan” and looks good enough to eat! From the bracelet to the fluted bezel, this one is full of special details!
TAG HEUER AQUARACER PROFESSIONAL 200 SOLARGRAPH
In addition to Fat Watch Week, we also recently dropped a few of our Watch Hot Takes over on Instagram. Among them? The luxury market needs more great solar watches 🌞 TAG is doing its part with the Solargraph, now available in green!
RAYMOND WEIL MILLESIME CHRONOGRAPH
You know how bears camp out at a waterfall and let the fish just jump into their mouths? Work smarter, not harder 🧸 Similarly, Raymond Weil has taken the winning formula of the award-winning Millesime and adapted it into tons of new variants. The latest is a blue-dialed chronograph that excites!
ACCUTRON ASTRONAUT
Last year, Accutron relaunched the Astronaut 🧑🚀️ The famous neo-vintage timepiece now comes in all new colors including a stunning blue/white version with gold accents! And with a GMT complication, you’ll always know what time it is in the Yukon, Denali, or wherever your adventures take you.
BAUME & MERCIER RIVIERA 10770
The only thing sharper than a bear claw? The angles on the Riviera! Baume & Mercier’s signature integrated sports watch made waves when it arrived in a smaller 39mm size. Now, the translucent dial is available in a gorgeous forest green! 🌲
