*WatchDives WD1972 V2*
I bought this straightforward dive watch mainly to see and experience the VH31 movement - I wanted to see if a seriously inexpensive quartz watch could have a sweep on the dial I could live with. Answer is yes!

#Cartier has so many case shapes in their archive that they just keep bringing them back from time to time. The return of the Roadster and Tortue was due for a little while, so not really a surprise there. The Myst is definitely a bit funky though. #watches #watchesofmastodon #WatchesAndWonders2026

#Credor has nothing more to say for #WatchesAndWonders2026 than what they already announced last week, it seems. But hey, at least it is official. They will finally sell their #watches outside of Japan and that is already cool enough imho. #watchesofmastodon https://youtu.be/2UFhMauo-Lk

Last year was an exception for #Rolex with the announcement of the Land Dweller. This year as often is the case, there is not much to say about them at #WatchesAndWonders2026. The new #watches are extremely safe iterations with new dial variants and materials. Just my opinion but I will say however that the revival and new take on the Jubilee motif dial is kind of ugly 😅. #watchesofmastodon

#GrandSeiko announced a lot of stuff for #WatchesAndWonders2026. The biggest takeaway is that people expected smaller dive #watches using Spring Drive UFA movements and they delivered exactly that. SLGB023 and 025 aka Ushio 300 feature 40mm titanium case, caliber 9RB1 which is basically a 9RB2 with power reserve complication on the front, titanium bracelet with on the fly micro-adjust and diver extension. Only issue is price puts them in direct competition with the Submariner. #watchesofmastodon

*Zelos Swordfish Field 38mm Bronze*
My Apple Watch didn't charge last night, so I took this with me instead, on a damp walk through the trees near downtown Austin.

The recent revival of #UniversalGeneve courtesy of #Breitling may be a good opportunity to briefly post about the UG 542109. It is nowhere near as popular as the ubiquitous Polerouter or the Compax but is as a result a very affordable way to get a classic thin dress watch featuring 2 hands, a plated 35mm case and a manual wind caliber 1-42. Many dial variants exist, mostly either stick markers or roman numerals. #watches #watchesofmastodon

I just had the opportunity to handle for a little bit the infamous #OtsukaLotec No.6. The watch features a 42.6mm case built around an industrial design reminiscent of machinery gauges, retrograde hours and minutes hands, a barely legible date, and a disk to display running seconds. This is definitely an unusual look, an entertaining piece of Japanese watchmaking and an unmistakable statement piece. #watches #watchesofmastodon
