A Ventura on the wrist of Elvis Presley in Blue Hawaii and custom pieces featured in 2001: A Space Odyssey highlight over 500 film appearances. Recent placements include several Men in Black movies and […]
Coming in hot like a Ki Blast, G-Shock is expanding its releases in collaboration with the internationally renowned Dragon Ball Z franchise across the globe. And this new GA110JDB is both the ultimate wristwear for Dragon Ball Z fans, and a watch that – in general – makes perfect sense in 2020, because it’s wild. Like the standard production model, this watch is outfitted with a mineral crystal, a 200-metre water resistant case (with resistance to both magnetism and shocks), and CR1220 battery which should keep the watch running for 2 years. Its dimensions are ready for battle at 55.0mm x 51.2mm x 16.9 mm, and a weight of a mere 72g. This watch, however, is quite special and distinct from others within the lineup. It is packed with subtle, and very unsubtle, nods to the Dragon Ball Z series on practically all of the components of the watch. The orange resin case and band are covered in Dragon Ball Z illustrations and graphic elements, depicting scenes of training and growth of the series protagonist Son Goku. The orange with black streaks resembles Son Goku’s wardrobe in combat and the way in which it creases during battle. It is also…

Less practical. More fun.
Perhaps not the best-known collection at Girard-Perregaux, eclipsed somewhat by the prominence given to its Laureato luxury sports watch family and its heritage Bridges collection, the 1966 is where you’ll find simple, elegant round dress watches with a touch of retro. The latest model to join the 1966 family is the Orion, a trilogy of […]

LIV is a brand that cuts to the chase. Bold, chunky watches with action in mind, and the rare ability to come up with distinctly different designs while keeping its own unique identity consistent across its range. While their microbrand-standard Kickstarter business model may be quite common, their collections of watches and value propositions are anything but. One of the latest releases to be successfully crowdfunded raised $764,590USD more than its $30,000 goal, and it’s the tactical, brutish, yet stylish LIV P-51 Pilot’s chronograph in a wide high-grade titanium case. There’s no getting around it. The P-51 is a big, no-nonsense, bombastic pilot’s watch — the most obvious feature being its hulking dimensions of 46mm in diameter and 15.9mm thickness, though the short and straight lugs sloping downwards help increase its wearability. But, chances are, if you’re after an oversized chronograph, you’re not looking for subtlety. The legibility is, of course, perfect, with slightly stocky hands filled with white BGW9 Swiss Super-LumiNova luminous paint, and a bright orange seconds hand, white-tipped to more accurately line it up with the printed seconds track between the applied indices. Legibility is also helped by the crystal covering the dial featuring an anti-reflective coating.…

Say what you will, but there are few cooler mods you can make to a stainless steel sports watch than removing its bezel … just ask Marlon Brando. It’s obviously a sentiment that Seiko agrees with, as 2020 has seen them release no fewer than 11 new iterations of its iconic 5 Sports model without the uni-directional, ratcheting diver’s bezel. And the response? Rescapement calls them “The most important [watch] of 2020.” Seiko has replaced the functional feature with a brushed, fixed bezel with a highly polished outer lip. To our eyes, this seemingly innocuous move has completely changed the overall character of the watch – it now looks much more akin to something like a field/daily timepiece, rather than a watch geared towards marine activity. However, it isn’t the only change that these new 5 Sports bring. They’ve also shrunk from 42.5mm to just 40mm. Hallelujah. That means even more bandwidth, and for smaller-wristed fellows like myself, a much more attractive proposition. The bezel-less beauties will be made available in a number of distinct finishes, including brushed stainless steel, two-tone steel and yellow gold or pink gold or a fully blacked-out variant with a hardened coating (which looks seriously tough).…
