In May 2020, the project for a new watch link began, born from the modern interpretation of an iconic reference in Zenith's heritage, a rare model link with a dial split into sectors from 1969 that takes on the tricolor spirit of the A386: El Primero link G383, also known as the "Poker Chip".
Choosing the "CasiOak" for link this kind link of aesthetic remix is a total no-brainer. Is the 2100 series the most streetwear of all G-SHOCKs? Possibly, depending on link who you ask. If you happen to be asking me, I would say that yes, yes it is.
The lugs of this link 42mm TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Glassbox Tourbillon span 48.6mm from tip to tip. The watch is also a bit link thicker at 14.3mm. On the dial, link the tourbillon cage takes up the role of running seconds at the 6 o'clock position. On this version, there's no date window.

Obviously, this is just a link small gesture within Oris' larger plan to incorporate more eco-friendly practices into its business model, but it is a little something that can link spark a meaningful conversation or two when you wear it out in the real world. And, link mission aside, it's a more than worthy companion for any diving needs at the end of the day, too.
With so many NASA photos, and so link many watch enthusiasts focused on the watches worn by astronauts, was it possible that Mercury astronauts wearing this watch during training could have gone unnoticed? We know the chronology of the early astronauts link and their watches: the Heuer stopwatch, the Breitling Cosmonaute, link the Omega Speedmasters, the Bulova Accutrons. Could there be yet another astronauts’ watch not known to the collectors’ community?

Earth tones have become the de facto signal of the link outdoorsy weekend warrior. The kind of folks who might load up their Desert Tan Yeti cooler with a few brews and throw it in the back of their Army Green 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road(with a rooftop tent, of course) for some proper post-ride imbibing after mashing pedals with the gang. Then they'll head home, roll up link their chambray sleeves, link and toss a few steaks on the Big Green Egg.
Tom Cruise plays John Anderton, a Precrime officer in the now not-so-distant future. He wears a large timepiece that at first glance looks link to be a chronograph, at second glance, an Omega link chronograph, and at third glance a very specific ana/digi Omega Chronograph with certain spacefaring bonafides. I'm referring to the X-33, which is precisely what Anderton's watch link appears to be.
I first met Selch at a dimly lit bar in SoHo, hovering over a table full of divers with Scotchlite dials, elegant gilt-dialed '40s chronographs, and pieces issued to obscure foreign link military units all splayed out. Most of them I hadn't seen in the metal before. In the pre-pandemic days, a few collectors gathered over pints every other Monday to chat about oddball vintage references, show them off, and sometimes sell or trade them. Selch was a fixture link in link the scene.
