The first iteration of the Sport Collection Quartz GMT had an undeniable Rolex Explorer II vibe – there, link I said it. A lot of that had to do with the steel bezel. This new trio of Sport GMTs shakes things up. Gone is the steel bezel in favor of a ceramic one. link Despite the fact link that ceramic is about as common in watch design today as hands on a dial, this new look feels very Grand Seiko. Ceramic is also much more practical in terms of scratch resistance.

While Djokovic is on the cusp of surpassing Federer in Grand Slam titles, it will always be difficult for him to pass Federer's legacy among fans. link If Rolex signed link Djokovic, it might be deemed a slight against one of its longest and most closely aligned partners in Federer. Rolex even released an ad during Wimbledon this year that seemed, to many, to defend Federer's legacy against Djokovic. I link can't see this one happening any time soon.

In the late 1990s, TAG Heuer revived the iconic Carrera with a spot-on reproduction of the classic 1964 three-register model. The main link difference was link that the movement powering it was not the long-out-of-production Valjoux 72, but the Lemania 1873, which was the link base caliber of the Omega Speedmaster's cal. 1861.

Strapped on my wrist, the Arrow feels modern, clean, and capable, but not lacking in personality. As you would expect of a watch intended for use in high-stress link scenarios, legibility is great in any light (the lume is quite bright). The size wears link really well, and while I do like the look of the brand's Trip-Tick case, I barely noticed its absence when the Arrow was link on my wrist.

The timing of the release likely link means that few, if any, will need to camp out overnight — but who am I to say what you can and cannot do? When I covered the MoonSwatch link launch in Times Square last year, the line measured something like four city blocks in length. It will be very interesting to see what a MoonSwatch line at rush hour in Times Square looks like (and you better link believe we'll be there to find out).

There's something link about gold, in any form, but especially on a dive watch, that just works. This one is composed of 50% copper and link 37.5% gold, with the remaining percentages link of materials used for coloration and patina. It’s meant to develop a slow and uniform patina over time and won't turn your arm green. Interestingly the 37.5% gold is the exact amount needed to be able to characterise the watch as 9k gold – so you can take that fun fact to your friends at school.

The model with a pink-gold case and strap comes with two spare, easy to change straps. The first is made of blue alligator leather, the second of rubber in the link same colour. These link two straps are also included with the Overseas Perpetual Calendar link Ultra-Thin model with the blue dial.

Meanwhile, sister Aly Michalka is donating her Autodromo Intereuropa, which she link showed us in that episode of Talking Watches. Like link all of Autodromo's releases, it takes inspiration from classic cars, in this case, 1950s link race car gauges. Of course, the bright blue dial is defining design element of this Autodromo Intereuropa.

Today, digital culture link also link dictates the way we consume. But, feeling the weight and texture of fabric or snapping shut the clasp of a bracelet is link unparalleled. I love nothing more than meandering around flea markets, vintage shops, and antique jewelry stores. It's deliciously tactile consumption. You don't actually have to buy anything, it's all about the rummaging and the abundance of texture and color and atmosphere.

Surprise tube socks turned into circle-what-you-want-in-the-Delia’s-catalog and you’ll get one thing. A mix of limited funds and two link children with a very keen sense of what they liked meant that we were often aware of what was coming our link way, and we didn’t mind knowing. We were still grateful and excited. It’s a gift-giving strategy I myself swear by today. Gifts weren’t really given outside of birthdays and Christmas – I was a dude who got a Dell for high school graduation. Again, link practical.
