Hot List: September 29, 2023
The Dodgers aren’t the only ones raking as we get close to October! The newest watches at Feldmar might “leaf” you breathless. From a brand new Hamilton to an unmissable Zenith, this Hot List has got us “falling” in love! 🍂 Check it out!
ZENITH DEFY 21 CHROMA II – WHITE CERAMIC
Skittles ain’t got nothin’ on this one! 🌈 The all-white ceramic Defy 21 from Zenith contains all the sugar you’ll need thanks to a world-class chronograph caliber and unmistakable styling. Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide, don’t expect to see this one around too often!
HAMILTON KHAKI FIELD EXPEDITION
The Khaki line from Hamilton might just be the most versatile collection in watchmaking today. This week, the line expanded thanks to the all-new Expedition! With a compass bezel that can be cleverly attuned to the sun in order to find your way, this is a watch where form and function cross paths! 🧭
RESSENCE TYPE 3B BLACK
On the list of watch complications that’re rarely seen, a temperature gauge is pretty high on the list 🌡️ The Ressence Type 3B not only incorporates this, but does so in a way that looks totally natural. Ranging from blue to red, the unique subdial gives an at-a-glance display of watch performance that sets this timepiece apart.
IWC PILOT’S WATCH – SPITFIRE
Is there a better pairing than bronze cases and green dials? IWC’s Spitfire doesn’t disagree. And at a highly-wearable 39mm, this Pilot’s Watch might just be the perfect marriage of form and function. Now, where did I leave that pre-flight checklist…. ☑️
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER ’57 CHRONOGRAPH
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the Speedy ’57 is one of Omega’s top releases in recent years. From the wearable size to the fun colors to the heritage looks to the top-shelf specs, this is an award winner in our book! 📖
SEIKO 5 SPORTS SSK021 GMT
Seiko set the world on fire with the release of the 4R34 movement. Bringing GMT functionality to the Seiko 5 lineup, the caliber represented a sea-change in affordable functionality. Now, the lineup gets an update, thanks to the two-tone SSK021. Classy and useful? Yes, please! 🏆
ANGELUS CHRONOGRAPHE MEDICAL X MASSENA LAB
One of the newer brands at Feldmar, Angelus’s watchmaking lore runs deep. This piece is a true “doctor’s watch”, featuring a helpful dial-scale for pulsations and respirations, along with single-pusher functionality for when you need practicality, stat! ⚕️
ORIS BIG CROWN HANK AARON
While this Big Crown Pointer Date from Oris might seem down-to-earth, there’s nothing average about Hank Aaron who for 33 years held MLB’s single-season homerun record ⚾ Not only did Mr. Aaron launch baseballs into orbit with ease, he also stands as a symbol of activism during America’s civil rights movement. Three cheers for an American hero! 🗽
ACCUTRON SPACEVIEW EVOLUTION ELECTROSTATIC
What do aliens using the metric system say? Take me to your “litre” 🌟 That might be corny, but the guilloche dial of the new Accutron Spaceview Evo is the real deal! With a crown at 2 o’clock, these pioneering pieces take on an even more other-worldly appearance that we can’t get enough of!
GARMIN MARQ AVIATOR – GEN. 2
When tracking inbound at the FAF and the MALSR is out-of-service, how do you determine the MAP? Okay, now that the non-pilots have scrolled on, let’s talk about the Garmin Marq Aviator. With functionality rivaling the most advanced cockpit systems, this is a must-have companion for serious pilots 👨🏼✈️
JUNGHANS MEISTER PILOT CHRONOGRAPH
Speaking of pilots, the newest Meister Pilot from Junghans is a not-to-be-missed piece of aviation kit! From the readable dial to the easily-gripped bezel, this is a watch with real-world usage written all over it! 🛩️ Contact us to learn more.
