Well, I like it; it completely bucks the trend as Omega have released a late 90s ana-digi whilst everyone else is re-visiting classic references or develop in-house mechanical movements. As other brands begin rehashing models to be slightly smaller, Omega goes studs high and releases a massive diver and a massive space watch in the space of 6 months, and takes on the fashion market in between and breaks the internet with the MoonSwatch. Omega is punk now, who’d have thought?

$6400 because I’m weird like that.

I love root beer. It’s not a UK staple, but when I’m over the pond it‘s my drink of choice. If I sees it, then I drinks it. 

My favourite non-alcoholic beverage is in Iceland: you can get large cans of Malt+Applesinn which is half and half Supermalt and Fanta basically.

It bothers me more than it should, as others have alluded it shows the care and attention that has gone into the watch. I also can be put off by the font - I think Miyota 8xxx numerals are not as nice as Seiko NHxx numerals, but all pale in comparison to Sellita and ETA. I also like not having a date complication so I don’t have to change it if I haven’t worn the watch for a while, but I always find myself looking for the date on my watch on the days I don’t have the complication. I have an old watch with an FHF movement that has alternate red and black numerals depending on odd/even, that is a nice touch. It’s the little things that matter.

So, I did 4 last time, I think I could offer 4 again, just to be awkward. Again, it‘s a personal choice, and alternatives depending on what you are looking for, and the categories are field, dress, tool (lots of alternatives this time around), and the naughty number 4. As £ to $ is poor, then I think this works within budget.

1. Vertex M100A. This is the relaunched brand’s modern interpretation of their dirty dozen field watch. 40mm. I offered up the Timor 36mm retro-modern in the $3000 batch, so seems fitting I would offer this in this round. This is a beautiful watch, it is probably my favourite modern field watch. No alternatives to offer, just take this one.

2) A dress watch. So, I actually think this would be my choice: the Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Asturias. Classic 1940s style case, beautiful finishing. I quite like the brown, but the blue is also lovely.

As an alternative, and if you can bear being on a waiting list (which kind of goes against the available to buy right now rule I adopted), then an anOrdain Model 1 medium. I love the plum enamel, but also the Japanese Oxblood. Mediums are 38mm and around £1800-£2450 depending on the dial you want; smalls are 35mm and nearer £1600. These dials are amazing.

3) Diver / tool / etc... Quite a lot at this range, but if you want a bit of brand history, and a riff on an iconic model, this Edox Sky Diver Neptunian is awesome for a sports watch.

Alternatively, I also think the Vero I offered last time would do for a modern-looking diver that sits slightly left-field. You could even look into a Squale for a classic diver brand if you must have a “Diver” diver; 1521 Full Luminous would be my pick, be bold. Or, a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Skin, again, iconic diver.

Or, if you wanted a German tool watch, and not a standard like a Sinn, then this Mühle Glashütte Rescue Timer is superb.

4) Naughty number 4 time. If you travel a lot, then the Islander Republic GMT. A few hundred pounds cheaper than other models with the same movement, I think this is a very good proposition. I love the blue dial version.

Alternatively, if you are desperate for a Chronograph, the Dan Henry 1945 from last time if you want a cool looking retro (it is the Jardur Bezelmeter 960 De Niro wore in Ronin) - just think it’s lovely and you can just pretend to be a bad boy whilst joyriding around your local supermarket/strip mall car park at night.

Or, for a daily that you don’t need to take too seriously, the Citizen NJ1050 series. These are good value at RRP; I quite like the yellow, but the green is also handsome.

probably a Sowar Prima.

Same - and even then it was a guess as to which model though. The Longines case does look like a Sea Chief.

It is the dial though… I was well out.
