The Mido Ocean Star GMT SE: a multi-time zone shark

The Mido Ocean Star GMT SE is here to mark 80 years of Ocean Star.

In the watch world, we’re used to anniversary celebrations. Those tend to either be hundreds of years, or maybe a few decades. Then we have Mido, who does sort of do their own thing, in many ways. Their Ocean Star line has been around for 80 years now, so it’s time to celebrate. To commemorate that mark, they’ve introduced the Mido Ocean Star GMT SE.

Timex x Raised by Wolves: bark at the moon

@Timex x @RaisedByWolves: bark at the moon

Timex is all about those collaborations lately, it would seem. Sure, they’re making plenty of solid “solo” designs (say, like this one), but the partnerships are something we’re seeing more of. This time around, it’s another Timex x Raised by Wolves collaboration. Continue reading Timex x Raised by Wolves: bark at the moon

The Chrome District Collection: whither the seat belt buckle?

The Chrome District Collection: whither the seat belt buckle?

I don’t know about you, but when I think of bags from Chrome Industries, that seatbelt buckle closure on the strap is about as iconic as you can get. It’s a visual punch that immediately identifies the make of the bag. Not only that, it certainly makes for a robust way to close up (or release) a strap. So, how does Chrome maintain that identity if the buckle goes away? That’s what the brand-new…

Skagen Signatur Sport LE: celebrate Earth Month with a watch

If you want a sporty and colorful diver for summer, the @SkagenDenmark Signatur Sport LE can get that job done.

Now that we’re firmly in April, that means we’re in Earth Month. You’ll see all sorts of initiatives to help you focus on learning more about the Earth, and of course ways to help preserve and improve it. Introducing a new consumer product is counter-intuitive, but that’s what we have with the Skagen Signatur Sport LE. Continue reading Skagen Signatur Sport LE: celebrate Earth Month with a watch

@Vesuviate_Watch Attivo Duplex: twice the time, twice the fun

If you recall, we’ve brought you word on a number of new Vesuviate releases, including the Attivo, Attivo Chronograph, and a rather lovely GMT. If you like the idea of being able to track a second time zone, but really dig the case profile of the Attivo lineup, then the Vesuviate Attivo Duplex is going to grab your attention.

Traser P67 Officer Pro: ready for action

@TraserWatches P67 Officer Pro: ready for action

Here at WWR, we’re a fan of tritium illumination on a dial. Sure, we like any glowy bits on our watches, but there’s just something about the glow you get from tritum. There a few brands out there making them, and then there’s the one that is run by MB-Microtech. They’re the company that’s making these tritium tubes, and they own Traser. Just recently, they released an update to their Traser P67…

Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph Ti49: a unique anniversary

@GirardPerregaux Laureato Chronograph Ti49: a unique anniversary

When a brand celebrates an anniversary after the 1st year, it’s usually on a year that’s divisible by fives. This is particularly true with watch brands, as many of them have been around for decades, if not over a century at this point. Girard-Perregaux traces their roots back to designs first created in 1791. So, with two centuries under their belt, they can do what they want. Such as…

Mido Multifort M Freeze: for a chilly spring

Mido Multifort M Freeze: ready for a warm winter and chilly spring.

Well, who knows – here in the midwest, we’ve had a very odd (and warm) winter, so I’m not predicting anything for weather. If you’re thinking it’ll be cold – or just wishing it was cold – then there are watches to help you hold onto that. Yesterday, we wrote about one, and today we’ve another. Meet the Mido Multifort M Freeze. Continue reading Mido Multifort M Freeze: for a chilly spring

Nomadic Watches Black Shamrock: a March-only LE

In the world of watches, we are very familiar with the concept of a limited-edition. These offer something special or different in the design, and numbers are limited to keep it exclusive. With the Nomadic Watches Black Shamrock, though, it’s something that I’ve not quite seen before. Only 33 pieces are being made available – one per day, at 7PM GMT.

The last time we talked with you about a Girard-Perregaux release, it was one that flirted with the six-figure mark (you can see that here). This time, we’re going to go with something that is a quarter of the cost, and offers up a literal piece of space. Meet the Girard-Perregaux Free Bridge Meteorite.
