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...

eBay Finds is back! This bi-weekly installment will feature a selection of watches currently listed on eBay that have caught the eye of editor Christoph McNeil (@vintagediver). If you come across any hidden gems on the ‘Bay drop us a note at info@wornandwound.com for potential inclusion. Vintage Bulova First up this week is a brilliant vintage Bulova from 1964. The 33mm steel case is a classic round style with slim lugs, and it appears unpolished with crisp edges. The silver dial is super clean, with applied steel hour markers. It features Arabic numerals for the even numbers, and batons for the odds, except at 3 o’clock where there is a date window. Nice sword style hands with large lume plots. This one is powered by a 17 jewel automatic Bulova caliber 11ALACD movement that is clean and runs well per the seller. The watch comes on a period-correct (and possibly original) semi-stretch band with a really nice herringbone texture on the sides. A great piece that should end at an affordable price. View auction here Vintage Seiko 5 Here is a wild vintage Seiko 5 with a cool design. This “TV dial” style looks like an old-school TV with the curved rectangular dial and squarish case. The steel case is 37mm wide, but looks smaller since it’s wider than it is long. The case has curved side edges and angled top and bottom edges along with a brushed finish. It is unpolished, but does show a few marks from honest wear. The silver dial is clean, with the ubiquitous Seik...

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...

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...

What We Know Louis Vuitton is adding a new material to its Tambour Convergence collection with the introduction of the Tambour Convergence Mirror Steel. The Tambour collection, first introduced in 2002, takes its name from the French word for “drum,” referencing the case's drum-shaped profile. In 2025, the brand expanded the line with the Tambour Convergence, marking an important milestone as its first guichet-style watch conceived entirely at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. Now, after several precious-metal and artisanal interpretations, the latest model trades gold and platinum for hardened stainless steel, making it more practical for everyday wear and bringing it in at a lower price point than its predecessors. Measuring 37mm across and 8mm thick, the Tambour Convergence is made from a proprietary hardened stainless steel. The watch’s defining feature is its mirror-polished finish—extending across the case, lugs, and crown—achieved through a patented treatment that also increases its surface hardness by nearly six times, reaching a hardness rating of 1,130 Vickers. This makes it more resistant to surface scratches than ordinary steel. According to LV, the mirror-polished finish also helps minor marks blend into the shiny surface, preserving its appearance over time. In lieu of conventional hands, the Tambour Convergence uses two rotating hand-satin-brushed brass discs with rhodium-plated finishes and black numerals (one for the hours and another for ...

The new Piaget Andy Warhol Watch "Camouflage" is a masterfully executed marquetry dial sequel with pieces of ornamental stone and gold.
SJX Watches
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 ...

Singapore’s micro-brand watch fair Spring Sprang Sprung (SPRG) returns this November with its largest and most international edition to date. Moving to a larger venue at Glass Dome, the event will bring together 78 exhibitors, up from 22 at its inaugural edition in 2022. New exhibitors and familiar faces Of SPRG’s 78 exhibitors, 40 are returning and 38 are participating for the first time. The newcomers include Christopher Ward and Raymond Weil, adding more established names to a line-up that remains rooted in micro-brands. Catering to this clientele, Japan’s Miyota will exhibit its movement offerings. Returning Singaporean brands include Feynman Timekeepers and Vario, along with strap maker Yi Leather. Four exhibitors will represent Indonesia, while this edition also features the fair’s largest contingent of Chinese watch brands yet, including returning exhibitor Seagull, which, like Miyota, defies the micro-brand classification. As with many watch fairs, the programme includes panel discussions and interactive sessions, with workshops for visitors who would like a more hands-on introduction to watchmaking. Watch week in Singapore This year’s fair coincides with IAMWATCH, the gathering hosted by The Hour Glass dedicated to independent watchmaking, which runs November 12-15. The overlap gives collectors travelling to Singapore the opportunity to visit both, while offering small brands from Singapore and elsewhere in Asia a chance to reach an international audienc...

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...

Geneva won't want to hear me say this, but it's starting to feel like Milan is becoming the unofficial capital of watches lately. Firstly, Rolex chose the city to announce the wildly unexpected Perpetual Padellone in September of this year. Patek Philippe also just concluded the next installment of their two-week-long Watch Art Grand Exhibition held in Palazzo delle Scintille, and Hublot selected Milan to host the launch of their latest release and slight re-issue, Classic Fusion Tributo. Amid all these activations, the city saw even more watch-obsessed people descend for what may be the most buzzy happening of all: Milan Watch Week. Now, let me clear something up before I proceed: there are a lot of domestic watch weeks around the world lately. Off the top of my head, we have New York, London, Dubai, Geneva (some people have started to call the week of Watches & Wonders this), Milan, India, and, more recently, Istanbul. And while the increased presence of shows like these may signal something else happening in our industry, the picture it doesn't fully paint is how different each of these weeks is. Let's take Dubai and Milan. Dubai Watch Week, the first and original Watch Week, is a retail-backed organization run by the Seddiq family and takes two years of planning by a huge team with major brand involvement.

I’m not going to pretend like I am particularly savvy about streetwear or fashion brands, but even I know that SoHo in NYC is at the epicenter of that world. UNION had their start in 1989 in the neighborhood, and grew to become one of the most influential stores in counterculture fashion, making it a streetwear and art-fashion touchstone for generations of local New York youth scenes, and the fashion world at large. G-SHOCK has always been an icon of streetwear, with its rugged and affordable timepieces that appeal to a younger, more middle-class audience—as a kid in the 2000s, having a G-SHOCK made you feel instantly cooler than your classmates with a normal Casio—so a collaboration between the two brands makes a lot of sense. G-SHOCK has a history of brash, colorful, and innovative models and a track record of collaborating with musicians, artists, and other fashion marques. With the new DW-5600RBG, developed in partnership with Chris Gibbs, owner of the UNION stores in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Osaka, both brands make their mark on the iconic octagonal design. The DW-5600RGB is based on the DDW-5600, one of G-SHOCK’s most classically-styled models both aesthetically and functionally. It’s the bread-and-butter G-SHOCK with a rectangular LCD display that shows the date in the upper right corner, the day of the week and alarm setting in the upper left, and the time squarely in the center. No nonsense and known for industry-standard resistance to damage, it’s th...

On episode 56 of the SJX Podcast, SJX speaks with Anthony de Haas, A. Lange & Söhne’s longtime head of product development, about the thinking behind the watches. The starting point is the new Datograph Perpetual, which takes a familiar model in an unexpected direction with a platinum bracelet and discreet diamond indices. The conversation explores the collaborative watchmaking culture in Glashütte and why every new release should bring something different. Mr de Haas also explains how Lange retains the character of a small manufacture within Richemont — an approach that has earned it the reputation of being “the biggest independent”. Other topics include the growing attention paid to finishing, the work required to give movements a recognisable aesthetic, and why collector enthusiasm won’t necessarily translate into more watches or more bracelets.
