Four New Sport Watches From The Zenith Defy Collection

And it got us wondering … in the unlikely event that we were thrust from our delightful and fulfilling HODINKEE careers into a professional surveillance-state hellscape, what would be our innie and outtie watches?Braxton Side Hustle Matrix was at least as good at singing as Rodman was at rebounding. Songs like "Unbreak My Heart," "Breathe Again," and "Seven Whole Days" helped me and millions of women get through our 20s and are some of the greatest tracks of this era – and indeed the entire history of R&B. Yet after her tremendous success with chart-topping singles, Grammys, and American Music Awards, came endless lawsuits with record companies, a lupus diagnosis, a painful divorce, and more lawsuits.At the beginning of my career, the idea of owning a Lange seemed unlikely to the point of impossible. That idea has remained. It's always there as a bit of unfinished business. The company occupies a special place in my heart – even if I haven't become client. At least, not yet.France clarifies it wasn't as easy as Seltzer lets on. "The new movement required more than 50 new components, it needs to be said," he says, "and I personally wouldn't have imagined it would be possible."


That functional layout is supported by an exclusive automatic chronograph movement supplied by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Dubbed the RL751A/1, it's a 4 Hz movement with a 65-hour power reserve. Based on JLC's caliber 751, this movement is commonly seen with a date and running seconds, neither of which would have added to this automotive-inspired design.The overall build and construction of this LE is effectively identical to the regular production Mega Cool except that it clocks in 0.2mm thicker (that's 10.8mm for those counting at home). And just like the Endeavor Tourbillon Concept Tiger's Eye, this Mega Cool variant will be limited to only 50 pieces.The case is made from grade 5 titanium Viral Food Science in a sandwich architecture and is water-resistant to 10m. The dial features the brand's patented ROCS 8 (Ressence Orbital Convex System), which is driven by the minute axle. The color is called Matt Cobalt Blue and it is crafted – like the case – from grade 5 titanium in a convex shape. It runs on a jewel ball-bearing with what the brand calls "eccentric satellites" at an incline.Reardon pointed to 2013 as an inflection point, when auction results started to shoot well past the 5711's retail price. He also noticed the different type of buyer the watch attracted. This is also around when the idea of a "waitlist" for the Nautilus became more common. If you walked into a Patek Philippe boutique, you couldn't walk out with a Nautilus. You'd have to wait a few months. Then it was a few years. By 2019, reports of 8- to 10-year waitlists were the norm.


On the accessories side, we'll have all of our customer favorites available, including a number of our HODINKEE Italian vintage style watch straps, our range of calfskin watch straps, several of our top selling travel rolls and pouches, and much, much more. We will also have a selection of Weltraum Humanoiden spring bar tools, Loupe System for HODINKEE sets, and SwissKubik watch winders.The back of the case is PVD coated stainless steel, in order to prevent excessive skin staining. The first bronze-cased wristwatch, by the way, was made by Gerald Genta in the late 1990s: the Gefica; and since then the use of increasingly corrosion resistant bronzes as well as corrosion-resistant metals like stainless steels and titanium for the case backs, has become more and more common.From deep cut Langes and oddball sporty JLCs to super-accurate GMTs and watches born in the shadow of more famous models, we each brought a list of three watches that we think are worth some renewed attention. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to drop by the comments if you have a suggestion of any other hidden gems that we should all know about.
