Kind of surprised it took this long.
Timex has released a new colorway for the Falcon Eye, this time in green.
Sale price of $179.

https://www.timex.com/q-timex-reissue-f ... 400ZV.html

If the movement is as mushy as the one on the original, I wouldn't recommend unless on a smoking deal.
(My experience is the minute hand will change positions when you push in the crown, so it won't stay on a marker. Very potato movement from Seiko.)

The newest Timex x BEAMS Camper collab is available for pre-order.

These are Japan only watches, and the other collabs have been super popular

Roughly $218, and I don't know if they ship to the US.

Vario is contemplating making a "Dirty Dozen" version of their recent Trench Watch.

From the survey:

I'm working on a Dirty Dozen with small seconds using the same Miyota 82s5 movement (crown at 4pm) we used in our Trench. Size will be 36mm for vintage sizing and subdial sits beautifully (movement constraint). If you would like a bigger size possibly 42mm would be possible to avoid a cropped 6. Please help me with some questions if you're interested in this project so I can proceed to develop this watch further

Lots of questions about size, lume, lugs, finishing, etc.

I submitted a response. Has to be 41mm plus, and a little of their own flare to move away from the numerous other “original” copies.

No hacking movement? I thought I read that was one of the requirements for the "dirty dozen" watches...

No, the requirements the British Ministry of Defense specified were:
  • Black dial with Arabic numerals.
  • Small second at 6 o’clock with railroad minuterie
  • Luminous hour and minute hands and indexes
  • Precise movements (if possible regulated to chronometer standards)
  • Hand-wound movements with 15 jewels
  • Shatterproof plexiglass and shock-resistant case
  • Waterproof, easy-grip crown (for use with gloves)
  • Best possible water resistance

this new Titanium Field Automatic Watch Gen 2 + Sapphire Back by Maratac deserves attention. I like sterile dial, great specs and "high beat" MIYOTA 9015.
code SHOP15 takes 15% off first order.

That is sharp. I like the bezel feature but from the video on their site it does seem like it's simply a case of pulling it off. Not sure that would give me too much comfort.

It's a great idea though - if the bezels are cheap enough it wouldn't be an issue.
