Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Normally I don't care for MoP dials, but this one looks really nice.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

The Astor & Banks x BLVDier Fortitude
Price is $795 and only available to order from BLVDier:
https://www.blvdier.com/watch
This collaboration serves to highlight a few things. If you could encapsulate BLVDier’s aesthetic into a wristwatch, it would be this. We chose a navy blue dial, the most popular color in menswear and the base color of our brand. A nod to the gold accents in our new store, we chose to gilt the indices and hands to elevate the design. We’re engraving our badge on every caseback and numbering all 50 of the limited edition design (read below about reserving a specific number). And they’re made in America. We wanted this watch to be as unique as each piece of clothing we make and as limited as some of the fabrics we carry.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Paulin Neo - A collaboration with Scottish brand anOrdain, the Neo features an anodised aluminium dial, mechanical Seiko movement, bespoke typeface and unique design influences for a watch that really stands out.
https://www.paulinwatches.com/collections/neo/
Movement: Seiko NH35A (Automatic)
Lens: Hesalite box section PVC
Water resistance: 5ATM
Case: 316L stainless steel
Case diameter: 38mm
Case thickness: 12mm
Strap width: 18mm
Warranty: 24 months
Bit pricey for the specs, but a decent looking watch nonetheless which clearly draws inspiration from the anOrdain enamel models. Website also claims 10% off upon newsletter subscription. Not sure if they remove VAT for non-EU buyers.

These are screaming to be in the 37-39mm range! So frustrating, but also unsurprising.yinzburgher wrote:Hamilton has added a a number of new models to their Jazzmaster Automatic line-up.

I do actually like the recessed Roman numerals. A solid update to the Jazzmaster lineup.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Nice! I'll be on the lookout for this one I think. Full lume dials are almost always cool. I really like the case. I'm even OK with "FANCY MATERIALS - NONE". The measurements confuse me a bit. I'm not sure if Case Height just means the vertical measurement without the lugs? Seems like it would equal or the "Case Size". Anyway, they have plenty of time to clarify I guess.Rabirnie wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 12:28 pm Saw this on Facebook and not much more to report yet, but will provide more details as they become available.

Re: 2020 New and Upcoming Releases!
Yes sometimes "height" refers to lug-to-lug measurement. It is a bit weird that the "height" is bigger than the case size. Looks like there are virtually no lug, and I would think maybe the "size" includes the crown.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 12:41 pmNice! I'll be on the lookout for this one I think.

"That is indeed a 120-click rotating bezel. All divewatches designed by me are not only guided by the ISO 6425 standard, but also with my experience as a Divemaster. Every watch is also compliant with REACH and RoHS standards."

No, I see it too. The case, bezel and crystal are all a bit different but the dial and handset seem pretty much the same.
