ULYSSE NARDIN FREAK X OPS 43MM
Part of a complete breakfast? Maybe not exactly. But the newest member of the Freak collection from U.N. certainly looks like a snack. With a tactical appearance thanks to the khaki “Magma” case made from an original composite of black carbon fiber and green epoxy resin, this one’s hot enough to fry an egg 🍳
RESSENCE TYPE 8 S
Green eggs and ham? 🐷 Nah. Green watches and no hands! 👍

GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL VINTAGE SEVENTIES CHRONOGRAPH PANO DATE
When it comes to breakfast foods, the 1970s were a dark time. Super Orange Crisp orange-flavored breakfast cereal? 🍊 No thanks. Fortunately, (unlike Fortified Oat Flakes) many 1970s design elements have stood the test of time. G.O. drew upon the best styles of the age to craft an iconic green-dialed chronograph replete with power-reserve indication and a pano-date window that makes date-reading a breeze.
TAG HEUER MONACO CHRONOGRAPH
The newest Monaco is a real looker! The team at TAG Heuer has whipped up a gorgeous 39mm version of the famous racer watch in lightweight titanium and with a skeletonized dial. The cherry on top? The high-contrast red chronograph and subdial hands. This one is dripping with style! 🧇
IWC PILOT’S WATCH DOUBLE CHRONOGRAPH
A special formulation of IWC’s engineering labs, there are few materials harder than Ceratanium (except maybe Grape Nuts without milk) ⛓ Providing ultimate scratch resistance and durability, the matte treatment looks stealthy and complements the Pilot’s Watch double chronograph functionality. Can you spot both seconds hands? Amazing!
OMEGA SEAMASTER 300
Is there anything better than that first cup of coffee in the morning?☕ How about the warm tones of the Omega Seamaster 300’s bronze gold case? Using a special alloy, this heritage-inspired piece exudes a warmth that warms the soul. Who needs caffeine to get your heart-rate up when you’ve got this on your wrist?
BELL & ROSS BR 03 GYROCOMPASS
Three square meals a day? Better not skip breakfast 🥣 Square watches? That’s another story ⬛ Bell & Ross continues its line of cockpit instrument-inspired watches with the BR 03 Gyrocompass. Utilizing a plane-shaped minute-hand, this is a tool watch for aviators worldwide!

SHINOLA THE CANFIELD SPEEDWAY CHRONOGRAPH
