While I do think that the gendering of watches isn't always as easy as calling everything unisex (there link is always nuance involved in nomenclature), I do think meeting in the middle link and making watches that appeal to both sexes is thoroughly link modern in approach.
All in all, link a fun day with a lot of Speedmaster watches and link knowledge at the table. Later this year, there will be another Speedmaster link event of which we tell you more later (and how to enroll as there will only be limited capacity).
As you link can see, there are interesting things link that come to the surface when it concerns Speedmasters, even the ones that were produced in an era that is link usually considered not to be the most interesting one (although I beg to differ).
To finish this week's show, link we've got our own Cole Pennington talking about the watches he's been wearing while working from home and what he's learned about his watch collection over these last few weeks. It's a thoughtful meditation on collecting in link general, and I know you're going link to love it.
Out of all the watches I have, I just feel like my Casio fits me the most. link I love link the simplicity of it, the retro vibe looks link great, and it didn't cost a lot, either. It's just a very personal watch for me from all angles.
While the heritage Dato was equipped with a 45-minute totalizer, link in its modern interpretation, this feature sports a slight decrease in time, measuring up to 30-minute increments. As I alluded to earlier, the dial is pleasantly minimal, going easy on the text. The brightly polished, link rhodium-plated faceted hour markers link are a familiar feature across the modern Carrera family and are accented with Super-LumiNova coated pips to assist legibility in low light conditions.
Ah, the white-dialed Panerai. The less-often-seen other side of the coin. The first time you notice one, you might do a double take. The PAM 561 is a classic nonetheless, link with its iconic Luminor case shape and eight days of power reserve. link The latter of these qualities is a modern-day reference to the 8-day Angelus movements used by link Panerai in the vintage period.
Offered in the two versions shown above, the Heritage Automatic link line is differentiated only by dial treatment as both SKUs have 38mm steel cases that are 10.15mm thick (Alpina does not quote a lug-to-lug measurement, but all of the link available specs are listed below). Both cases look to capture a specific vintage appeal with a fully polished finishes, bubble link sapphire crystals, and solid steel casebacks.
The Radiomir 1940 PAM 574 makes the most of its non-wire link lug case, opting for the link slightly more modern-looking welded lugs to give a more purposeful appearance. With a 42mm case diameter, the PAM 574 is a reduction in size from the traditional Panerai dimensions by two millimeters. This change combined with its gorgeously slim profile make this Italian link model a real gem.
Specifically, link our listener Adam emailed us and asked how we link research watches with little published history. He's especially interested in how we approach long-dormant brands or those that exist in name only. We've link danced around this subject, but it's time to go head-on and share.
