Watches and Clocks

IWC Schaffhausen just threw the traditional playbook out. The Pilot’s Venturer Vertical Drive, unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2026 in Geneva, is the Swiss manufacturer’s first timepiece designed and engineered from scratch for the specific demands of human spaceflight, and it has earned official certification for spaceflight from Vast for Haven-1 environments and crew usage […]

Montreal-based brand Dime has linked up with Timex and UK retailer END Clothing for a new take on the classic T80 digital watch. The result is a gift set that wraps the T80 in a studded stainless steel bracelet and pairs it with a second leather strap, all for $229 USD. Price: $229 Where to

We’ve been keeping an eye out for NASA-themed watches that commemorate the Artemis mission, and this one caught our attention. Custom Casio Royale mods have blown up over the past year. Builders have been turning the classic AE-1200 into all kinds of unique pieces, from retro-style collectibles to custom metal-cased builds. The affordable base watch

Tissot and Pinarello have teamed up for the first time, combining over 170 years of Swiss watchmaking with the Italian cycling brand’s racing pedigree.

Four astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10, 2026. They’d just finished Artemis II, a 10-day trip around the Moon and the first time humans made that journey in over 50 years. The crew of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen traveled more than 252,756 miles from Earth, breaking

Solar watches have a reputation problem. Citizen, Seiko, and Casio have owned the category for years, and most of their offerings trade design ambition for pure function. Victorinox is betting its first solar-powered timepiece can change that equation, and the Concept One collection isn’t a brand dabbling. It’s a full-scale commitment with eight versions, two

The Timex Deepwater collection keeps expanding, and the latest entry trades the line’s usual utilitarian dial for something with a bit more character.

Most affordable mechanical watches get one shot at a first impression, and the sequel rarely arrives this fast. Casio dropped the Edifice EFK-100D less than a year ago, the first Casio Edifice automatic in the brand’s history. A company synonymous with G-Shock toughness and digital precision suddenly had a mainspring ticking inside one of its

Most watch collaborations exist to put a logo on a dial and call it limited. Briefing’s return to the Timex Expedition Field Watch after roughly a decade doesn’t play that game, and you can tell the moment you notice the strap material. The Japanese brand, known for bags built to military specifications, brought its signature

The Artemis II crew strapped on their Omega Speedmaster X-33 watches before climbing into Orion on April 1, 2026. Four astronauts heading to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years, and on each wrist sat a titanium quartz chronograph that Omega built specifically for people who leave the atmosphere for a living.

Timex has been quietly building one of the most compelling value propositions in the automatic watch space, and the Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic GMT is the latest evidence. Previously sold under the Expedition North name, the watch returns with a fresh identity and one significant addition that collectors have been requesting since the original launched:

Timex put a Seiko movement inside its new Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic, then priced the whole thing at $449. The watch also comes with a titanium case and a sapphire crystal, a spec combination that makes it one of the more interesting affordable automatic dive watches to land this year. That’s a real spec list
