Seiko x Honda, TAG Heuer, IWC Mercedes & More | Wristwatch Weekly Ep.12

Wristwatch Weekly is back for Episode 12, and after a few weeks away, Chris and I have plenty of new watches to catch up on.

We start with what’s on the wrist, including the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge and my new Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep, before getting into some of the biggest and most interesting recent releases.

This week we discuss:

• Seiko 5 Sports × Honda Motocompo Limited Edition
• TAG Heuer Formula 1 Solargraph Zandvoort
• IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar ProSet × Mercedes-Benz
• Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour Ultimus
• Christopher Ward Trident 30×30 Blue Marine Foundation
• Panerai Luminor Marina Carbotech
• TAG Heuer Carrera × Team Ikuzawa × Bamford
• Unimatic Pro Diver
• Timex Marlin GMT
• Casio’s affordable transparent-dial release

There’s plenty of debate around watch pricing, whether some limited editions are actually worth the money, Christopher Ward’s value proposition, TAG Heuer being underrated, Panerai’s unmistakable design and whether quartz watches deserve more respect.

We also head into Budget Corner, talk about what’s currently on our wish lists, and discuss the latest update on the La Touraine Maritimer Summer Edition.
