Neither overly rugged nor excessively dressy, these relaxed timepieces will induce a sense of leisure as you ease into your days off.
- PATEK PHILIPPE NAUTILUS FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH 5980/60G-001
- OMEGA SPEEDMASTER CHRONOSCOPE “PARIS OLYMPICS 2024”
- GRAND SEIKO HI-BEAT GMT SBGJ277
- RADO ANATOM AUTOMATIC
- HAMILTON KHAKI AVIATION PILOT AIR-GLACIERS
As we say goodbye to the rose gold version of the Nautilus Flyback Chronograph, we’re thrilled to see a white gold version take its place. The soothing blue-grey dial doesn’t make a loud bid for attention and pairs surprisingly well with a denim-patterned calfskin strap. A classic style with a fun and casual twist.

OMEGA SPEEDMASTER CHRONOSCOPE “PARIS OLYMPICS 2024”
Among the many Speedmaster models Omega has released, the Speedmaster Chronoscope arguably has the most interesting dial, featuring a tachymeter, pulsometer, and telemeter scale for a vintage look that doesn’t feel dated. This special edition for the Paris Olympics comes in a 43mm steel case, with gold accents on its opaline “panda” dial that elevate the overall design.

GRAND SEIKO HI-BEAT GMT SBGJ277
There is hardly a color Grand Seiko has used in its watches that wasn’t inspired by the brand’s love for nature. The white and green bezel and textured dial draw inspiration from the “snowy valley” phenomenon, where snow still caps the highest mountains in the summer. The 44.2mm steel case houses the Hi-Beat 36000 9S86 movement, which runs at 10 beats per second for greater accuracy.

RADO ANATOM AUTOMATIC
Had Rado brought back the 1983 Anatom exactly as it was, it likely still would’ve been a hit given the current demand for vintage revivals. However, the new Anatom’s contemporary update is still a slick design, featuring a matte black ceramic case and a smoked dial available in blue, cognac, or green. Its curved case and rubber strap live up to the Anatom’s ambition of feeling like a second skin.

The adventure-ready pilot’s watch from the Khaki Aviation line receives an eye-catching colourway in blue and red, inspired by a partnership with the Swiss helicopter rescue team Air-Glaciers. The Air-Glaciers-branded Velcro strap enhances its sporty style and ensures a perfect fit, while an additional suede nubuck strap is included for those seeking a more formal option.
