Texas' #Jack-Mason is introducing three versions of the new Palmera Skin Diver. Looks to be a compressor style with internal rotating bezel. The best color--an aged copper green--isn't available until they get 200 orders of the other two. Founder price $1049.

So were submarines and spaceships at one point
Not on my bingo card, #Junghans has entered the pro diver game with the Aquaris. 4 models w/500m resistance, X-1 lume and internal bezel. The blue or red are β¬ 2,690; the black w/orange or green are β¬ 2,790. I like the vintage broad handset better.

#Luminox has a new Navy SEAL 3587 Chrono Diver. Why a chrono diver? You can time two events at once (bezel & subdials). 45mmCARBONOX; 80g. Always-on Luminox Light Technology. RONDA 5030.D quartz movement,with 200m resistance. Hi contrast sand and black colorway. $845

47mm lug to lug
I would like to try it on. It's definitely a lot of dial but the bracelet might make it very comfortable
New to me #Mezei Watch Company. Great looking dials with nice dimensions and cool engraving on the back and sides. Miyota 8215 is dependable. At about $500 this seems like a solid buy especially for a little more on the Milanese bracelet.

My condolences to the employee at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Discovery and Science who has to set this clock ahead this morning. But my grandnephews appreciate you β° share.google/kAQG9qdx80iD...
The #Isotope Moonshot Thunderclap isn't like any other chronograph I've seen. Blasted grade 5 Ti case with purple pushers and signature subdial moon disks. Features the brand's first telemeter scale. Lume β‘ on back. Bold design for sure. LE of 30 only. $3284.

#Bremont releases The Altitude MB Meteor x Felix the Cat, a 500 piece LE black pilots watch. 42mm matte black DLC case. Felix running away with the number 6 β a nod to fighter-pilot jargon βwatch your six". BB14-AH, built on a LJP with 68hr power reserve . $6850

#Unimatic has another collab: with Nigel Cabourn and The Armoury. VH31A movement w/sweeping seconds. Cerakote green case w/navy blue dial and faux old radium on the hands and indices. 300m resistance. I like the color combo. $920 (I know itβs pricey for quartz).

Just learned about this company and field watch, the #Mudita Radiant. Winner of a 2026 IF Design Award. Great minimalist design. 6 colors, 3 sizes. I'd go white 37mm. Or green. SW 200 ElaborΓ©. $699.

#G-Shock? Yes. 5600? Check. 24mm? Uh, yup! A $110 fully functional Nano ring G-Shock is ridiculous, right? Of course, but man do I want a yellow one! π

The countdown has begun! From April 14th to 19th, the Villa Sarasin in Geneva will host Time to Watches. #Elka is the first to my inbox with their new digital brochure including smaller 36mm versions of the N , D, and S Series. Nice catalog!

#Hanhart has released a grade 5 Ti Desert Pilot version of the classic 417ES flyback bicompax chrono. Two sizes: (39 or 42mm). Both 200 piece LEs and both $4,518. Steve McQueen liked it and so do I, especially in this material and color.

#Kurono has a diver...but I'm just so confused. It's like an #Omega Alaska Project got run over by a vintage #Seiko and then stopped by #Breguet for coffee. I think i should hate it, but I don't. Thoughts please! $2,700 (orders open today)

They do still make the cricket and I've been so close to getting the pistachio dial one several times...
So MTA's new dual-power train stopped running on either today, leaving me stuck in the tunnel to Grand Central Terminal for over an hour. But the guy next to me kept beeping and I got to see a vintage 1990s Casio Data Bank calculator watch, DBCβ32D. (He's not letting his son set alarms anymore).
The #Vulcain Skindiver Nautique rarely appears on dive watch top ten lists and I didn't know why. 38mm x 12.2mm with 200m resistance and an ETA 2824 movement. Great vintage looks. And now an LE with a meteorite dial. $2520. Should be considered if you're diver hunting.

Agreed. Praesidus also pretty much only makes field watches and mostly at $500 or less.
Finally, not a tool at all, but art on the wrist. #Resssence x Terumasa Ikeda release the Type 9 IKE. Nothing else like it. Hand painted. Stunning colors. I cannot read it. But thatβs not the pointβ¦I guess? $44,200

Sticking with real tool watches, the #Nodus Obscura 2 is one for film photography fans. A patented bezel lets you match f-stop and exposure based on the Sunny 16 rule. 38mm, 100m resistance, this is a great looking photography travel companion. $650/$725 (Black DLC).
www.noduswatches.com/obscura
Now for order, the #Buhlmann Decompression 02 Diver. A genuine tool watch, this is a full dive chart (with decompression stops, surface intervals and fly/no-fly indicator) in a great looking package (applied indeces and polished elements). Reliable SW300. $4790.

#Citizen adds a desk diver to the popular Tsuyosa lineup: the Shore. It retains the angular integrated look, but with a unidirectional aluminum insert dive bezel, bigger indices, a lollipop seconds hand and 100m resistance. $495 blue, $550 green.

I believe that. But it just looks unbalanced to me. Just my aesthetics. I can see why someone would really enjoy it.
This NY weather must be making me cranky. The new #Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart (3 dial colors) is a no for me. I think it ruins an otherwise clean looking watch. I don't need to see a Hamilton branded Powermatic80 through the face. $1400 on a bracelet.

Another day, another jump hour. Nothing against #Duckworth-Prestex, but enough already. Anyway, this Marcato just doesn't do it for me, especialy with the hour window at 9 o'clock. SW300. If you like it, there are 3 100-piece LE colors. Pre-order for $2200.

Sorry for another bandwagon review but everyone is talking about the new #IWC Portugieser. Fully blacked-out 41mm made of a Ti alloy called Ceratanium. Matte black case, crown, pushers, dial, subdials, hands and strap. Smoked sapphire caseback. 1,500 piece LE. $14,600.
