For today’s selection, I’ve chosen my Timex Q Chronograph. It features a warm champagne dial with contrasting black subdials, creating a classic panda-style layout framed by a black tachymeter bezel. After all, who doesn’t love a good looking Panda timepiece! The brushed steel case and vintage-inspired design are complemented by a rich brown leather strap that adds a refined yet relaxed character. Today’s attire is business-casual, therefore, it balances sporty chronograph functionality with timeless styling, making it well suited for both business-casual and everyday wear.

Orient chronograph panda watch for today.

Happy National Don’t Forget to Change Your Date on Your Quartz Watches Day! I just made that up and I need a catchier name, but you get the gist. Set those dates gents!

Hey guys! It has been almost a year since my inactivity, since, well, life got in the way. But my collection has grown up since, and not just the watch, but the watch box as well (meaning I curse myself to fill up at least 12 watches, since the previous box already has 4 slots lol) Between my last spinnaker purchase update I managed to snatch an Orient diver and recently an automatic AVI-8 Aviator in a new year sale. I think I'm kind of done with Orient for now and looking for new brands in similar price range to try next. Any suggestions?

While Vostok is a company that specializes in military timepieces, This Slava ('Glory') was a company that produced watches purely for civilian applications. It's smaller and thinner than the Amphibia and is a manual wind movement. I got this 80's model used at a very reasonable price, and it has Cyrillic day markers. I haven't seen another one like it. I don't use it on my sub-zero temperature walks, though, hehheh.
