Partnering with Børge Ousland , Norwegian polar explorer and Norwegian-based Norrøna, a top notch outdoor sports and expedition outfitter to create a limited edition collection. How limited?

Mont blanc Debuts Fourth Iteration of Their Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum Watch
November 1, 2022
Back in 2014, Montblanc debuted their first world time watch, the Star Orbis Terrarum. Now, they’ve launched their fourth model. This smart, handsome, damn fine looking watch takes its design inspiration from a somewhat mythical map of the world created by the Roman General Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. Hence the Latin name “Orbis Terrarum,” which was derived from the name of the map “Diviso Orbis Terrarum.” In Latin that translates to “Circuit of the world.”
The first Montblanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum was a stainless steel watch with a blue dial. The second was a brown dial and rose gold case, the third version was done in green, and now we have this humdinger. It has a stainless steel case with a gray, black, white, and rose gold dial.
How the Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum Watch Works
Getting down to the nitty gritty: Powered by an inhouse Calibre MB. 29.20 world time complication. It has mechanical movement with an automatic winding mechanism, world time indication with 24-hour time zones and an integrated day and night indication. Once the watch is set, to access the various time zones, simply press the pushed located at eight o’clock until that city is at the top (the 12) of the watch. The hour and minute hands immediately synchronize to that city’s time zones. The day and night indicator has a rotating disc that moves from light gray (day) to dark gray (night). It has a 42-hour power reserve.
The sapphire crystal nicely frames the floating continents that adorn the face of the 42mm stainless steel case. The dial is encircled by the names of twenty-four cities that represent various time zones. The dial’s center has two-toned gray waves decoration done in guilloche that lay underneath the continents. Luminescent dots painted with Super-LumiNova mark every five minutes. This watch is water resistant to 50M and is finished off with a dark gray alligator strap.

G-SHOCK X Super Mario Brothers Collab Open for Pre-Order
November 1, 2022
G-SHOCK goes seriously old school with their latest launch and collab. They’ve taken their classic, nerdtastic model DW5600SMB-4 and wrapped it with another classic, Nintendo’s Super Mario Brothers graphics. This G-SHOCK X Super Mario Brothers watch is one cool collectible.
G-SHOCK X Super Mario Brothers watch
The DW5600 goes back to the mid-1980s, and it looks pretty much like it did back then. Large digital dial, raised case, and notched strap. And most importantly, virtually indestructible.
Let’s talk about this new fun watch that can be pre-ordered now. The bezel and dial are colored Mario red with the blue background from the game’s overworld stages. The gold accents mimic the color of the coins that Mario snags throughout the game. The dial fonts are 8-bit to add to that vintage vibe. At the bottom of the dial is a printed Koopa Troopa shell. Keeping with the theme, 8-bit Mario is printed on khaki colored strap. And adding to the sheer fun of it, when the dial’s light is turned on, a red Mario shows up on the LCD scoring a 1-UP. The case back is engraved too.
Like all G-SHOCK’s this watch is shock-resistant, has a multi-function alarm, flash alert and an EL backlight. Other features include 20 bar/200m water resistant, 1/100-second stopwatch, 12/24 hour time formats, and a countdown timer.
This G-SHOCK comes in a vivid red package that opens to reveal a red tin with Mario’s phrase “Here we go!” done in pixelated print. Reserve your watch today, it ships out on November 11, 2022. It will also be available at select retailers on that date, but do you really want to take that chance?

Done in stainless steel, the watch has an expansion watch band. It can be resized easily without tool. Simply push the underside of the link and it can pop out, and then pop back into place.

Both feature a mandala in shades of black, gray, and white. Cutouts on the dial allow the watch’s jewels to peep through, so you are seeing minute flashes of ruby. The mandala is a recurring theme in Fairey’s work. In a press release, Fairey stated “In revisiting this design for a North American exclusive, we took this shape and married it with the Hublot signature All Black ceramic for a look that fuses our respective artworks together.”
The release of this chronograph is limited to only fifty pieces and is priced at $25,200. Made with a microblasted black ceramic case, this watch has black-lined rubber straps and is water-resistant to fifty meters.

Omega Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer
September 27, 2022
Just when you thought Omega couldn’t top themselves, welcome a watch that can tell time in space. Mars to be exact. Taking a cue from the red planet, this 45mm chronograph has red hematite and anodized aluminum bezel that’s a nod to the color of the planet’s sand and dirt.
Created in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), the new Omega Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer can track time zones on Earth and Mars. Yeah, this is just a tad mind-boggling. Under the Marstimer’s hood is Omega’s 5633 Calibre. The thermo-compensated, quartz movement handles both the watch’s digital and analog functions.
Honestly, reading the specs, one feels like there’s a paradigm shift in watchmaking. So, let’s continue to blow your mind with all the things this titanium watch can do. It was originally developed for scientists (lucky dogs), so you’re getting all the crazy bells and whistles that an astrophysicist could use in the office. These functions, btw, were developed under a patented ESA license. They include an MTC function that tracks Mars’ sol date and time at the prime meridian. And this takes into consideration that a Mars day is 39 minutes longer than an Earth day. A solar compass can find true north on Earth and Mars. Owners can also tap into the apps available for the Speedmaster X33, including the MET (Mission Elapsed Time), PET (Phase Elapsed Time), alarms and a perpetual calendar.
Let’s chat about the dial. It’s black, making it easy to read Earth and Mars symbols, functions, and oh yes, the time. The hands, indices and bezel markings are luminous because you need to see in the dark, no matter what planet you’re on. Speaking of hands, the seconds hand is black to red gradient. As if you didn’t need something else to marvel at.
Wait! There’s more! This watch comes in a gorgeously designed watch roll. Tucked inside is a strap-changing tool. You’ll need it for when you want to switch out the grade two and five titanium bracelet to a dedicated NATO strap. The roll is embossed with a reproduction of the Hebes Chasma, a steep-sided canyon on Mars.
Right now you can head over to the Omega site and sign up to be added to the wish list for when it goes on sale online. Or, you can go to an Omega store and pick one up immediately.

Zodiac X Watches.com Super Seawolf Meteorite
September 26, 2022
Zodiac and Watches.com have teamed up and created an uber-sexy limited edition watch: Zodiac x Watches.com Super Sea Wolf Meteorite. They’ve upped the Sea Wolf model with an out-of-this-world detail. The dial has been created from an actual meteorite. Zodiac used the Muonionalusta Meteorite which fell to earth and landed in Sweden around 800,000 years ago. Each dial is slightly different due to the patterns that the metals (iron and nickel) have created within the rock.
You know how almost every brand states that their limited edition is a limited edition? Well, Zodiac created only 182 timepieces. Snagging this piece is like owning a piece of the limitless universe.
The watch is 40mm, and is an automatic three-hand and is water resistant to 20 ATM. The watch has super Luminova hands and indices, and a space gray stainless steel DLC case that complements the color of the dial. It closes with a butterfly clasp. The case contains Swiss-made STP 1-11 automatic movement.

CIGA Design M The Magician Series Watch
CIGA Design was created back in 2012 by Zhang Jianming, one of the top designers in China. In 2021, the watch company won the Grand Prix d’Horlogie de Genève (GPHG) and the “Challenge Watch Prize” for their Blue Planet watch during the annual awards event in Switzerland. This was the first time a Chinese brand beat out European and Japanese watch companies for the prize. The watch company has garnered column inches in Hodinkee, The New York Times and other publications.
The newest watch nicknamed “The Magician” is a paradigm shift in watch design. This one watch has three different cases. This skeleton mechanical watch can be dropped into a 46mm round case, 44mm geometric or octagon case, and a 46mm barrel case. The case materials are done in either stainless steel, steel or titanium. The strap is flouro-rubber. It is 3ATM waterproof and has a 40-hour power reserve. But that’s not the only innovation. It features a transparent inner cover.

The titanium version with automatic movement is $681
The titanium version with manual movement is $860

Citizen Promaster Skyhawk Blue Angels JY8128-56L Chronograph
We’re dazzled by the new Promaster Skyhawk Blue Angels watch. With only 9999 made, the JY8128-56L will be a hot ticket. Just look at that dial! This stunning chronograph has a match blue bezel and comes in a hefty 46mm. The dial offers both digital and analog features/readouts. And the caseback itself is the Blue Angels insignia:
Citizen has worked with the U.S Navy’s Blue Angels squadron for years, so these are true pilot’s watches. The watch receives global radio signals automatically.

It runs on Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology; any itty bit of light will power it. On a full charge, the watch will run for six months.

Skagen X Soulland Grenen Chronograph
Danish-inspired watch and accessories brand Skagen teamed up with Danish-based fashion brand Soulland for their second watch collaboration. Skagen X Soulland’s new men’s watches mini collection is comprised of their Grenen chronograph watch reimagined by Soulland. Only three hundred were created, so if you have a hankering for the silver cased chronograph with a green faux croco strap or the oh, so sexy black on black (yes, that strap’s faux croco too), you better hurry as these babies sell out quickly. Honestly, to be able to snag a limited edition watch under $200 is a steal.
Both are made with at least 50% recycled stainless steel. The watch has a 42mm case and three-hands. It uses Japanese quartz movement and is water-resistant to 3 ATM/30 meters — you can wash your hands wearing it, but you can’t shower or swim with it.

The Utility Ranger is a new iteration of Timex’s classic Navi (dive) watches. The watch’s palette captures the tones of being surrounded by a deep forest. The bezel is a dark orange that sits on a 41mm black case. The olive strap is inspired by vintage military watches. This automatic has a date complication and shows 12/24 on the dial. Water resistant to 100 meters, it utilizes Timex’s Indiglo so that you can read the watch underwater or in the dark.

Szanto Heritage Aviator Series
Luminox co-founder Barry Cohen created four watch brands under his new Time Concepts company. They are Hawaiian Life Guards, Bia Watches, Szanto, and 420Waldos Watches. Based in California, Szaanto specializes in new watches with a vintage touch. Not the innards, but how they’re styled. Szanto reimagines watches from pre-WWII to the 1970s and infuses them with a modern sensibility.
Their newly launched aviator series would look at home on WWII bombardier’s or pilot’s wrists.
The newest addition to the aviator collection is the Heritage Aviator Small Seconds 2755 Series, which comes in either military midnight blue or green. The Aviator Series runs on Japanese (Miyota 1L45) small seconds quartz movement, has thick Swiss SuperLuminova Lume on the hands and indices, so you can tell time no matter how dark it is.

Ulysse Nardin Great White Diver Chronograph
Swiss watch company Ulysse Nardin has always had a close relationship with the ocean. Since its1846, they’ve manufactured accurate marine chronometers enabling sailors to precisely chart their way through the seas. They’re the official time partner and recently announced their partnership with the 11th Hour Racing Team as their timekeeper. This new watch, the Great White Diver Chronograph, is a tangible item that exemplifies their commitment to the ocean.
With this watch, they will support several shark conservation initiatives. These include partnering with SHARKTRUST, the top European shark conservation charity that is attempting to reform unmanaged and unsustainable fisheries and working on global legislation on shark products. Ulysse Nardin, as a company, has pledged to donate 1% of the annual sales of all their shark watches to support nonprofit organizations that are focused on preservation. They’ve also added Hawaiian surfer and shark advocate Mike Coots to their family. Coots lost his right leg due to a tiger shark attack as a teen. Now Coots advocates for a balanced marine ecosystem.
Nardin has been creating shark-themed watches for several years. The first was the Hammerhead Diver Shark watch. The shark has become so entwined with the brand that they even use it in ads.
This new watch, this gleaming white and titanium chronograph is so slick, so sick looking, that it’s truly drool-worthy. The silhouette of a great white shark is on the white rubber and ceramic strap. The gray titanium case, 44mm in size, is covered with a sapphire crystal. Oh, and it has a white concave unidirectional bezel. It has a striking gray dial dotted with blue and white accents, calling to mind the Great White Shark swimming through the blue ocean. What’s really cool is that the shark, the indices and hands all light up. This self-winding watch is water-resistant to 300 meters.

Victorinox I.N.O.X. Pro Diver Titanium Limited Edition
Known for the iconic Swiss Army Knife (among other things, they recently debuted their latest watch, the Victorinox I.N.O.X. Pro Diver Titanium Limited Edition. This stunning diver watch is a gorgeous combination of green and black. The titanium 45 mm case has a matte black PVD finish (both the case and caseback are made from hypoallergenic titanium), and the expandable rubber strap (which easily fits over a wetsuit) is a deep forest green. The dial is a super cool 3D pattern. The face has bright white indices, numerals and hands, and both the face and unidirectional rotating bezel is coated with Swiss Super-Luminova. In the dark, half the bezel glows green, the other half glows blue, while the numerals and indices glow green, the hour hand glows blue.
Getting under the sapphire dial or hood if you will, the watch is ISO 6245 certified, anti-magnetic and water resistant to 200 meters/660 feet. The watch comes with a matching Swiss Army Knife, bumper, removable magnifying glass, separate band and is numbered. Why is it numbered? Victorinox only made 1200 of them. They did come in 7 other color combinations, but most of them sold out. Fast.
