ARNOLD & SON ULTRATHIN TOURBILLON
You can keep your gold bars, ingots, and nuggets 💰 We’ll take the Arnold & Son Ultrathin! Cased and accented in red gold, this aventurine-dial tourbillon is watchmaking elevated. Limited to just 28 pieces worldwide, it’s a true collectible that lives up to its name: it’s just 8.3mm thick!
HAMILTON KHAKI FIELD “MURPH” 38MM
Sometimes the sequel is just as good as the original ✌️ Beloved at its initial 42mm size, the new version of the “Murph” is not only smaller but now available on bracelet! Add in a new white dial variant, and the collection is truly complete!
RAYMOND WEIL MILLESIME SMALL SECONDS
You don’t need to be a dead-eye marksman to appreciate the crosshair sector dial on Raymond Weil’s newest Millesime! 👁️ Following in the footsteps of last year’s GPHG Challenge Prize winning watch, the latest small seconds version now comes in British Racing Green.
ZODIAC SUPER SEA WOLF REF. 691
For sheer reliability, sometimes old tech is the best! For the first time, Zodiac has introduced a hand-winding movement to the modern Super Sea Wolf line, doing it in style with the new Ref. 691. We’re not calling it a revolver, but we do love the satisfaction of spinning the crown to spur things into motion 💥
BELL & ROSS INSTRUMENTS BR-03 HORIZON
Smoke on the horizon? ⛺ No, it’s just Bell & Ross’s latest addition to the Instrument collection! Emulating the attitude indicator found in aircraft cockpits, B&R has creatively repurposed the hour hand, making it into a turning dial replacement!
OMEGA SEAMASTER PLANET OCEAN 6000M ULTRA DEEP
Whether you take to the water like a fish or prefer to keep a safe distance, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is a fittin’ companion. With more water-resistance than you can shake a stick at, it’s a robust tool that’s up for adventure 🏊 And it hides a secret! Hold it under UV light to reveal a secret message on the dial. Now, how’s that for an Easter egg?
HERMES H08
Despite Hermes’s close ties to the world of horsemanship, you don’t need to be a bronco-buster to appreciate the clean lines of the H08! 🐎 Constructed with titanium and featuring stylized numerals, this watch takes one of the most creative approaches to minute indications we’ve seen: simply view the minutes through the partially skeletonized minute hand. Innovative!
TAG HEUER AQUARACER PROFESSIONAL 300 GMT
TAG Heuer’s Aquaracer is LEGENDARY! 🐏 With 200m of water-resistance and GMT functionality, it’s easy to see why this one qualifies as a “GADA” watch (go anywhere, do anything). Plus, we’re loving the gradient and textured – a rare combo!
MAURICE LACROIX AIKON AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH
Ah, a beautiful purple sunset on the ranch after a long day of fence-building 🌅 The only thing more gorgeous? The dials on the new Maurice Lacroix Aikon Chronos! With an integrated bracelet and full titanium construction, this one is a fitting watch pick any day of the week!
