Introducing: CWC Navy Eighty CD-1

What We Know Cabot Watch Company (better known as CWC) has launched a new take on its classic military-spec dive watch, this time inspired by some of the earliest watches CWC supplied to the British Ministry of Defense. The result is the CWC Navy Eighty CD-1 Diver, which blends one of the most sought-after and rare early CWC unit watches with a host of modern updates to make for a compelling — and spec-heavy — take on a classic formula. At a high level, this latest release from CWC is not a radical departure from previous CWC offerings. You still get the familiar (and wonderful) 41mm fixed-bar Royal Navy Diver case, with its shrouded crown, chunky rounded lugs, and broad, grippy bezel. You also still get the familiar dial layout originally prescribed by the MOD for watches in the 1950s, plus a handful of vintage-inspired details that help the watch stand apart from the standard Royal Navy Diver available today. These include a handset as close as I’ve seen to the original 1980 CWC-issued divers, including the diamond-tipped luminous seconds hand (a feature largely replaced over the years by a Speedmaster-style teardrop second’s hand) and an old-school, non-serif, non-oval CWC logo. There are big changes here, but they largely come down to finishing and material choices. Possibly the most dramatic update is the move to applied markers with metal surrounds, but the switch to a ceramic bezel is also impactful. To my knowledge, this is the first time CWC has used a cer...

Dispatch: Exploring Grassroots Motorsports In The English Countryside With Tudor

Just 18 mph. The pace of a pygmy hippopotamus at full chat, a sidewinder snake late for a meeting, a badger sprinting for the bus or, apparently, a Tyrannosaurus Rex in pursuit of a YJ Jeep Wrangler. That's how fast, or rather slow, I'm trying to drive down this narrow lane in the heat of competition. Yet, as the little red Alfa Romeo meticulously meanders its way through a calm corner of Cotswolds countryside, a drop of blood trickling along a grey artery between yellow sun-baked wheat fields, there is real tension inside the car. It might not be fast and furious, but this is not slow and soporific either. The concentration is palpable in the cabin. Sweat is forming on brows, and it's only partly because of a lack of air conditioning. In the navigator's seat is Matt Dereve (@SoulSpec), who is doing a valiant job of juggling directional diagrams, distances, and a stopwatch, while I try to heed his instructions and match them to the needle on the Veglia dial. This is genuinely tricky and, what's more, it's Matt's first ever rally. There's also a podium place on the line. Welcome to the HERO-ERA Rally for the Ages; a rather brilliant first rung on the historic motorsport ladder… Browsing a rack of greeting cards in a local shop the other day, I picked up one that said something along the lines of: 'Money can't buy you happiness. But it can get you a 288 GTO and a 3970, which is close enough for me' Droll (and, like I say, the wording may have differed a smidgen), but I thi...

Bring a Loupe: An André Beyner/Maurice Grimm Prototype, A Yema Yachtingraf Regatte, An Omega Seamaster Recife, And A Tropical Rolex Daytona

I know there's all sorts of consequential stuff happening, and the GPHG winners are announced tomorrow, but we're currently witnessing an exceptional musical run. I mentioned Twisted Teens in August, at which point they'd released their second excellent album of the year, but today sees the release of The Holy Cross Tigers, their incredible third album of 2026 and Sub Pop debut. Please note that the quality isn't dropping across releases, and please also note this is the band's fourth album total. If you're not listening to them, you really, really should, even if you don't think dirty swamp punk's your jam. Scorekeeping last week's pick, the Universal Genève regulator jump hour sold, the Baladin remains available, and the Royce diver and BWC chronograph both auction tomorrow. Strays Photo courtesy of Wind Vintage. It would be heretical not to start by noting this extraordinary Audemars Piguet calendar being offered by Eric Wind, and while the watch is sensational, that caseback engraving's one of the best I've ever seen. This Angelus Chrono-Datoluxe deserves a fair bit more attention, as does this Chopard Quartz dual time. If you were curious about what has to be the strangest Swatch ever made, allow me to nominate the Swatch Light Tree with, according to the listing, working Christmas lights. This Zenith El Primero 'TV' isn't flawless—observe the scratches on the crystal—but the case and original bracelet look very good, the chrono pushers are covered by a large roc...

Introducing the Praesidus Montar Ranger Ana-Digi and GMT Worn & Wound

Introducing the Praesidus Montar Ranger Ana-Digi and GMT

I won’t pretend I’m the poster child for an active, outdoorsy lifestyle. I’m definitely what some would call a “ball sport” person, and if there aren’t team colors and regional rivalries, I am unlikely to participate. My mom, though, is an avid paddleboarder and hiker, so when I am presented with watches like those from the new Praesidus Montar collection, I try to keep her and her fellow outdoorspeople in mind.  Founded in 2019 and inspired by veterans and service members, Praesidus (which means “protector” in Latin) have filled out their lineup with rugged styling and function-first practicality. The new Montar collection doesn’t deviate from that goal, but elevates the sport-factor to new levels by appealing to recreational outdoor enthusiasts rather than taking the more action-oriented military approach. Two models are available: the Ranger Ana-Digi and GMT.  The Ana-Digi takes a go at the ever-popular, eponymous format, combining a rotating compass bezel, digital time and date display, and standard 12-hour indices and hands to appeal to the outdoor crowd. The styling isn’t too far off from popular G-SHOCKs, though Praesidus adds their own spin with prominent bezel markings and indicators, which illuminate along with the hands. The stainless steel case and bezel are a matte black, with the watch measuring in at 44mm in diameter, making it by no means a dainty piece. Alarm and stopwatch functions are par for the course, and the sapphire-coated mine...

Hands On: JM Fleury Chronograph Openwork SJX Watches

Hands On: JM Fleury Chronograph Openwork

After more than two decades manufacturing components at Patek Philippe and independently for client brands, Jean-Marc Fleury has begun applying that expertise to watches bearing his own name. His latest is the JM Fleury Chronograph Openwork, which pairs a titanium case with sapphire dial elements that reveal the finely finished calibre within. Inside is the manufacture’s own FM04, a hand-wound chronograph that takes inspiration from the Lemania 2310 while refining its architecture and enlarging it for contemporary proportions. Initial thoughts The prevailing emphasis on elaborate movement finishing explains the concept behind the JM Fleury Chronograph Openwork. With collectors seemingly laser-focused on mirror-polished steel and gleaming bevels, independent watchmakers are increasingly turning to inverted architectures and transparent dials to bring more of their work to the surface. Like the chronographs of Petermann Bédat and Rexhep Rexhepi, the Chronograph Openwork stops short of all-out skeletonisation, opting instead for a selectively open-worked main plate visible through sapphire crystal dial elements. The result strikes a balance: enough of the main plate remains intact to give the dial a (mostly) coherent backdrop, while the openings expand the visible canvas for decoration. The hand-wound FM04 draws on the Lemania 2310, but its architecture has been extensively rethought. This technical foundation, combined with high-quality finishing, makes the Chronograph Op...

Bulova A-11 “Jimmy” As decades 3 days ago

Review: the Bulova A-11 “Jimmy”

As decades march on, no conflict has captured and maintained as much attention globally as World War II. Sure, that sounds like a dry opening statement for an AP History exam, but it’s hard to deny the pervasive influence of WWII on world culture, national identity, and yes, even horology. Eighty years on, we keep making movies about the conflict, keeping the 1940s and its aesthetic surprisingly prime in the cultural zeitgeist. Jimmy is one of those movies, due in theaters in November, and featuring a smattering of real Bulova timepieces from the period, courtesy of the brand’s museum. In celebration of the iconic Type A-11 watch that Bulova provided to the United States military starting in 1942, a re-release called the Jimmy A-11 Hack is ready for deployment.  I have long been a fan of mil-spec field watches, though not because I am some sort of military history buff or avid outdoor enthusiast. No, the main appeal for me—and I think for many folks, especially non-watch nerds—is the simplicity. No date window, no chronograph subdials, no functions other than the absolutely vital. It’s kind of refreshing in 2026 to wear a purpose-built piece of machinery that does one thing very, very well, and a classic field watch is the epitome of that catharsis. Of course, hacking seconds is one of the most historically important features of a proper WWII-era design, allowing for soldiers to sync their watches to time operations, but for the average horology enjoyer of today...

Under Ambre France since 2009, Yema’s mission is to […]

Serica Introduces the 8315-3 Golden Green Travel Chronometer

French microbrand Serica has toiled since 2019 to create an aesthetic that makes their watches instantly recognizable—rounded design elements with precise proportions, even wildly varying models like their field watch, diver, and stadium-shaped Parade contain unifying hallmarks: carefully considered dial balance, 1970s-esque styling, and prominent bezel designs all signal a Serica timepiece. Over the past seven years, they’ve continued to refine their watches from a mechanical standpoint, too, introducing complications and added robustness to withstand tool watch duties. The 8315 line of GMT models is perhaps their most function-forward design, first debuting in 2022. Like most Serica watches, it favors a cleanly balanced dial, meaning no date function—ideal for a travel watch, which is the intended use of the 8315, earning it the “Travel Chronometer” name. Now, Serica unveils a slick new colorway for the popular model: Golden Green.  The 8315-3 Golden Green doesn’t purport to be a grand deviation from the Travel Chronometer formula. In fact, it bears the same internals and basic design as its line-mates, primarily the Swiss chronometer-certified Soprod C125 automatic movement, which allows for 42 hours of power reserve and 200 meters of water resistance. This movement powers the GMT hand and “caller” GMT function. This gives it a simpler use case than the more complicated local jumping “flyer” GMT seen in watches like the Tudor Black Bay GMT; basicall...

Magnificent Marquetry: Piaget’s Andy Warhol ‘Camouflage’

The Piaget Andy Warhol ‘Camouflage’ reinterprets the artist’s late self-portraits with a marquetry dial assembled from 27 pieces of sodalite, turquoise and gold. Following last year’s Collage edition, it puts Piaget’s expertise in ornamental stones to more ambitious use, translating an easily reproduced printed motif into a painstaking exercise in stone marquetry. Initial thoughts Stone dials have become almost inescapable in recent years, but Piaget was pioneering the format as far back as the 1960s, long before mineral stones became a defining feature of flamboyant 1970s style. The Camouflage continues that legacy with a dial that is much more than a polished slice of stone. Most contemporary stone dials are uniform wafers — their appeal is largely dependent on the colour and natural pattern of the material itself. Stone marquetry takes things up a notch, demanding a deft hand to cut and combine individually shaped pieces into a deliberate composition. It’s one of Piaget’s specialities, demonstrated by last year’s Andy Warhol Collage and now put to good use reinterpreting one of the artist’s final bodies of work. Piaget’s artisans have done an admirable job translating Warhol’s vibrant Camouflage works into sodalite, turquoise and gold — there’s no hiding the craftsmanship. The irregular contours and close-fitting pieces make the expertise unusually apparent, while the contrasting textures give the dial surface more variety than colour alone ...

Moser Introduces a Pair of Limited Editions in their Heritage Collection

If you’re anything like me, when you think of H. Moser the watches that come to mind are colorful, skew toward the avant-garde, and very much in the category of “contemporary.” It’s easy to forget sometimes that Moser traces its origins back to 1828, and there’s been a lot of watchmaking history that has passed through the many references issued under the Moser banner. The sometimes neglected Heritage collection within the Moser catalog just received a pair of updates, and it’s a good reminder that Moser does more than Streamliners and shoe collabs (but we love the shoe collabs). First, let’s look at the Heritage Chronograph White Fumé. Moser tells us this reference was inspired by Moser chronographs from the middle part of the 20th century. It has a classic two register layout with subdials at 9:00 and 3:00, and a tachymeter scale around the dial’s perimeter. The white fumé dial is accented with blue graduations, subdials, and hands, creating great contrast and making the watch feel just a little more at home in 2026, or later (a watch like this would have almost certainly had black printing in the mid 20th century).   The case is 42mm in stainless steel, and the watch is powered by Moser’s HMC 220 caliber, which has been outfitted with a chronograph module in this execution. Moser does make their own chronograph caliber (the HMC 907), so it’s noteworthy that they’ve used their workhorse automatic with a module for this release. It’s likely bor...
