I am really looking at getting maybe a dive watch to extend my collection and was interested in getting thoughts on mid level (high 00s to lower 1ks) as options. I am looking at the Mido Ocean Star Captain but I am open to other options. Thoughts on the Mido brand or other options. I am looking at Squale as well. Any guidance would be appreciated.

For those of us OBSESSED with watches, this week is basically a holiday. The new releases from many brands were unveiled last night at Watches and Wonders. Some of the major highlights: Rolex: -New “Albino” Daytona -Two-Toned OP celebrating 100 years of the Oyster case -New limited edition celebration dial OP -New Yacht-Master II -DISCONTINUED the Pepsi GMT 😢 Vacheron: -New Overseas Dual Time model to celebrate 30 years of the Overseas Nomos: -White Dial Worldtimer 🤩 🤩 🤩 Tudor: -New blue dial Black Bay 54 -New model called the Monarch to celebrate 100 years of the company -New bracelet for BB GMT -New sizes and colors for the Tudor Royal (what do you think @Chad Smith?) Overall, not too exciting from the main brands. Although, those Vacheron and Nomos are gorgeous!! What’s your favorite??

W&W starts tomorrow and some brands are already announcing new watches. I've had a Nomos World Timer on my radar for awhile, but this white dial is the version I was hoping for. Placed tbe pre-order. ETA 4 months.

They remind me of the Longines Hydroconquest

Totally digging on this three hand Baltany Aviator. Big hand = minutes Left dial = 24-hour clock Right dial = seconds Look too long and plane crashes!🤣 This watch is the Baltany Original Design Retro Auto Watch S4098, a vintage-inspired "regulator" style timepiece known for its unique asymmetric dial layout. Key Specifications - Model: S4098 - Movement: Powered by a Miyota 82S7 automatic winding movement. - Case Dimensions: 38mm diameter, with a lug-to-lug distance of 44.2mm and a thickness of 11mm. - Case Material: Crafted from polished 316L stainless steel, available in both steel and gold finishes. - Design Details: Features 3D "butterfly-style" hands and real applied markers on the dial. The minute hand is specifically curved at the tip to reduce parallax error. Dial Layout This model is a modern interpretation of a regulator watch, which typically separates the hour, minute, and second hands into different dials: - Main Dial: Displays the minutes. - Top-Left Sub-dial: Indicates the hour (24-hour format). - Bottom-Right Sub-dial: Shows the running seconds. Have a top-notch Tuesday friends
