2022 New and Upcoming Releases!

[TimePeace]

Formex did partner with the Diver's Watches Facebook Group for this 33 piece limited run.
So I do think it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Just keep in mind, these are going for $1,670.

It’s like a Nautilus and a Planet Ocean had a baby, and that was the result. I dig it!

And if it had the branding of either of the aforementioned model’s companies, the price would obviously be significantly higher.

Formex is teasing a new release launching next week on 2/10.

"We've promised a new entry-level-priced Automatic model that’s going to be very tough and a bit lighter on the wallet... As a Formex Watch Club member, you'll be first in line with 24 hours early access before we officially launch the new collection on Thursday, February 10th 2022.

We'll share the secret link with you in our next Newsletter. The best news... the new collection will be readily available from stock."




Just based on the pic above, I would never have guessed that'd be a Formex.

I would think this is the one. Lifted from W&W :
https://wornandwound.com/formex-introdu ... un-colors/
According to the article:
"
The 41mm case is made from grade 2 titanium, and has the recognizable profile of a modern field watch. There are hard angles here that give it a contemporary look and keep it in line with Formex’s house style, but from the photos we’ve seen it seems to wear discreetly (like a field watch should) thanks to short and compact lugs. Formex tells us it measures 47mm lug to lug, and is just 10.6mm tall. The coolest thing about the case might be the finishing. It’s plenty industrial, as you can tell from these shots, but Formex has applied a hardening treatment to the surface of the titanium taking it from 145 Vickers all the way up to roughly 900.
...total of six options are available at launch: Charcoal, Petrol Blue, Ash Grey, Mahogany Red, Ultra Violet, and Sage Green.
....Sellita SW200-1 movement
...The Formex Field Automatic is available to order now, with a retail price starting at $795."

This one could go in deals thread, but feels more like it belongs to new releases.

Our friends @VesuviateWatches will be releasing their next collection, Viaggio, on Kickstarter in April.
Good contender for a GADA watch.

Pricing should be around $350-$400.

[fillerbunny]

It's a preorder with September shipping so I guess this is the appropriate thread.





New Xeric Halograph II colours on the way. 50% off with code HALO2022, which brings the price down to $249.50.

Seriously considering the green one.

The white dial is hot.

Disregard any pop-up that offers a 10% discount code that is eligible on Yacht Racer. It isn't eligible, and I've discussed it with Kyle to make him aware.

Still a very good deal at $259, I think.

Just a teaser for now.
But interested to see how this collab comes together.

https://www.bulova.com/us/en/apollo-theater.html

Yema teased this collab previously, but now they're showing the goods.



Yema is partnering with Kavinsky on a new model launching on Kickstarter on March 18th.

In the 1970's YEMA launched its first LED display watch, which became iconic in France. Fifty years later the YEMA LED is reinvented by KAVINSKY by perfectly capturing the 1970's steampunk style, bringing this emblematic model back to the future. This exclusive timepiece will be a unique limited edition in two case colors (SILVER and BLACK) that will turn heads wherever you go.

1970's steampunk

Unless they meant when steampunk first started emerging as a genre...

[Robotaz]

Seriously what does 1970’s steam punk even mean?

Translation: Pre-modern expansionist psycho babble.

But that said, that Yema looks really good. I love the chunky, steel look.

New Oris with the inhouse movement, this time in a smaller case. A LE collab with Chronos. 38mm. Looks like the case is made for the movement in terms of size.
