A Tudor Black Bay 58 for Inter Milan

To celebrate Inter Milan’s recent triumph in the Serie A – a 20th title for the Italian football club – Tudor has created the Black Bay 58 “Inter”. This limited edition Black Bay 58 (BB58) features a gradient blue dial with the club’s emblem above the six o’clock marker, flanked by two gold stars – one for each of the football club’s 10 league titles. First presented to the club’s players, the watch will be also available to the public as a limited edition of 1,908 pieces, available only at Tudor boutiques and retailers in Italy.  Initial thoughts Football aside, the BB58 “Inter” is a good looking watch. The blue ombré dial is striking and different from the usual Tudor aesthetic, and it compliments the vintage-inspired aesthetic well. At the same time, the Inter Milan logo and twin stars are also fairly discreet, while serving as visual balance for the Tudor logo above. The rest of the watch is identical to the standard model, which means a compact, easily wearable case, high-spec in-house movement. Pricing is also comparable to the regular production model, which makes it a great value proposition. The BB58 “Inter” presented to French footballer Marcus Thuram. Image – Inter Milan I Nerazzurri Already associated with the America’s Cup, Formula 1, and pro cycling, Tudor is now furthering its involvement with football. Already the official timekeeper for American soccer club Inter Miami C.F., Tudor is now partnered with one of the most famo...

Norqain Celebrates their Fifth Anniversary with a Quintet of New Releases, and a Bracelet with a Frequently Requested Feature

Norqain is celebrating their fifth anniversary this week with the release of five all new watches in the Independence collection. Five years is an interesting marker to consider. It’s both an impressive accomplishment for any new brand to stick around for that long – we can all point to small, upstart brands that have come and gone in much less time. But it’s also a vanishingly short period in the grand scheme of watchmaking, where the most durable brands have had literal centuries to build their identities. All the more impressive for Norqain then, as they’ve carved out an aesthetic that is immediately recognizable, and have made a ton of progress in developing a culture around their watches that focuses on a new generation of collectors. All of the new anniversary pieces seem to be born out of those ideas, and continue to iterate on what is now a well established design language.  The new watches breakdown as follows: we have two new Independence Skeleton references in 42mm cases, one DLC coated, the other with blue accents; two Independence 40mm pieces, one with a brown gradient dial, the other with a green gradient dial; and a new reference aimed at the female market, an Independence 40mm with a mint mother-of-pearl dial and diamond accents.  The Independence Skeleton watches are follow ups to earlier skeleton releases dating back over the last two years. The DLC coated version has red gold plated hands and applied hour markers, while the non-coated version f...

Why Fortis is sending their latest new movement into space

Fortis is no stranger to outer space.

Now, some three decades later, Fortis launch an in-house chronograph movement, the WERK 17, both … ContinuedThe post Why Fortis is sending their latest new movement into space appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Hands-On With Two Rado DiaStar Original Skeleton Watches: Have You Ever Seen A Gold UFO?

I’m guessing the gold-colored Ceramos bezel acts as a heat shield. During landing, the bezel must protect the object from scratches too, because Ceramos, a ceramic-metal composite also known as “cermet,” is very hard. It consists of 90% high-tech ceramic and 10% binder metal, hence the term “cermet,” resulting in a hardness of 1,750 Vickers.

Watches, Stories, & Gear: A New Fossil Watch, A Watch-Shaped Ring, and A Selection of Knives

Engineered Garments x Chrome MED PAC & SHOULDER EG Like adding a banana to a smoothie or a xenomorph to the Alien franchise, when Engineered Garments collaborates with a brand, it tends to permeate the brand entirely, making the end result something new and often that much more substantive. Take, for instance, its latest project with Chrome. The MED PAC & SHOULDER EG borrows from the vintage U.S. Army Medical Bag, right down to the numbered-pocket layout, though Engineered Garments pushes the count from 16 to 17. Large side pockets and a dedicated laptop compartment give it plenty of room for daily use, while three removable straps along the bottom can carry additional gear. The shoulder and backpack straps can also be rearranged or removed entirely, giving Chrome’s functional approach a distinctly Engineered Garments treatment. Both colorways, black and olive, are available now through Chrome’s online store.   Signature CS-1 Master Calendar Chronoquartz FOSSIL just launched the Signature CS-1 Master Calendar Chronoquartz, a 42mm master-calendar chronograph, marking a new chapter in the brand’s Swiss watchmaking story. Three recessed subdials sit alongside day and month windows at 12 o’clock, with a red-tipped central hand pointing to the date around the outer edge of the grooved dial. It’s powered by a Swiss Ronda 5040.F 13-jewel quartz chronograph movement and topped with a domed sapphire crystal. Flip it around and you’ll find a minted caseback with its pla...

Introducing: CWC Navy Eighty CD-1 Hodinkee

Introducing: CWC Navy Eighty CD-1

What We Know Cabot Watch Company (better known as CWC) has launched a new take on its classic military-spec dive watch, this time inspired by some of the earliest watches CWC supplied to the British Ministry of Defense. The result is the CWC Navy Eighty CD-1 Diver, which blends one of the most sought-after and rare early CWC unit watches with a host of modern updates to make for a compelling — and spec-heavy — take on a classic formula. At a high level, this latest release from CWC is not a radical departure from previous CWC offerings. You still get the familiar (and wonderful) 41mm fixed-bar Royal Navy Diver case, with its shrouded crown, chunky rounded lugs, and broad, grippy bezel. You also still get the familiar dial layout originally prescribed by the MOD for watches in the 1950s, plus a handful of vintage-inspired details that help the watch stand apart from the standard Royal Navy Diver available today. These include a handset as close as I’ve seen to the original 1980 CWC-issued divers, including the diamond-tipped luminous seconds hand (a feature largely replaced over the years by a Speedmaster-style teardrop second’s hand) and an old-school, non-serif, non-oval CWC logo. There are big changes here, but they largely come down to finishing and material choices. Possibly the most dramatic update is the move to applied markers with metal surrounds, but the switch to a ceramic bezel is also impactful. To my knowledge, this is the first time CWC has used a cer...

eBay Finds: A Pair of Vintage Bulovas, an Unusual Watch Made by Zenith, and a Very Weird Seiko 5

eBay Finds is back! This bi-weekly installment will feature a selection of watches currently listed on eBay that have caught the eye of editor Christoph McNeil (@vintagediver). If you come across any hidden gems on the ‘Bay drop us a note at info@wornandwound.com for potential inclusion. Vintage Bulova  First up this week is a brilliant vintage Bulova from 1964. The 33mm steel case is a classic round style with slim lugs, and it appears unpolished with crisp edges. The silver dial is super clean, with applied steel hour markers. It features Arabic numerals for the even numbers, and batons for the odds, except at 3 o’clock where there is a date window. Nice sword style hands with large lume plots. This one is powered by a 17 jewel automatic Bulova caliber 11ALACD movement that is clean and runs well per the seller. The watch comes on a period-correct (and possibly original) semi-stretch band with a really nice herringbone texture on the sides. A great piece that should end at an affordable price.  View auction here Vintage Seiko 5  Here is a wild vintage Seiko 5 with a cool design. This “TV dial” style looks like an old-school TV with the curved rectangular dial and squarish case. The steel case is 37mm wide, but looks smaller since it’s wider than it is long. The case has curved side edges and angled top and bottom edges along with a brushed finish. It is unpolished, but does show a few marks from honest wear. The silver dial is clean, with the ubiquitous Seik...

Bring a Loupe: An André Beyner/Maurice Grimm Prototype, A Yema Yachtingraf Regatte, An Omega Seamaster Recife, And A Tropical Rolex Daytona

I know there's all sorts of consequential stuff happening, and the GPHG winners are announced tomorrow, but we're currently witnessing an exceptional musical run. I mentioned Twisted Teens in August, at which point they'd released their second excellent album of the year, but today sees the release of The Holy Cross Tigers, their incredible third album of 2026 and Sub Pop debut. Please note that the quality isn't dropping across releases, and please also note this is the band's fourth album total. If you're not listening to them, you really, really should, even if you don't think dirty swamp punk's your jam. Scorekeeping last week's pick, the Universal Genève regulator jump hour sold, the Baladin remains available, and the Royce diver and BWC chronograph both auction tomorrow. Strays Photo courtesy of Wind Vintage. It would be heretical not to start by noting this extraordinary Audemars Piguet calendar being offered by Eric Wind, and while the watch is sensational, that caseback engraving's one of the best I've ever seen. This Angelus Chrono-Datoluxe deserves a fair bit more attention, as does this Chopard Quartz dual time. If you were curious about what has to be the strangest Swatch ever made, allow me to nominate the Swatch Light Tree with, according to the listing, working Christmas lights. This Zenith El Primero 'TV' isn't flawless—observe the scratches on the crystal—but the case and original bracelet look very good, the chrono pushers are covered by a large roc...

Hands On: JM Fleury Chronograph Openwork

After more than two decades manufacturing components at Patek Philippe and independently for client brands, Jean-Marc Fleury has begun applying that expertise to watches bearing his own name. His latest is the JM Fleury Chronograph Openwork, which pairs a titanium case with sapphire dial elements that reveal the finely finished calibre within. Inside is the manufacture’s own FM04, a hand-wound chronograph that takes inspiration from the Lemania 2310 while refining its architecture and enlarging it for contemporary proportions. Initial thoughts The prevailing emphasis on elaborate movement finishing explains the concept behind the JM Fleury Chronograph Openwork. With collectors seemingly laser-focused on mirror-polished steel and gleaming bevels, independent watchmakers are increasingly turning to inverted architectures and transparent dials to bring more of their work to the surface. Like the chronographs of Petermann Bédat and Rexhep Rexhepi, the Chronograph Openwork stops short of all-out skeletonisation, opting instead for a selectively open-worked main plate visible through sapphire crystal dial elements. The result strikes a balance: enough of the main plate remains intact to give the dial a (mostly) coherent backdrop, while the openings expand the visible canvas for decoration. The hand-wound FM04 draws on the Lemania 2310, but its architecture has been extensively rethought. This technical foundation, combined with high-quality finishing, makes the Chronograph Op...

Introducing: Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence Mirror Steel

What We Know Louis Vuitton is adding a new material to its Tambour Convergence collection with the introduction of the Tambour Convergence Mirror Steel. The Tambour collection, first introduced in 2002, takes its name from the French word for “drum,” referencing the case's drum-shaped profile. In 2025, the brand expanded the line with the Tambour Convergence, marking an important milestone as its first guichet-style watch conceived entirely at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. Now, after several precious-metal and artisanal interpretations, the latest model trades gold and platinum for hardened stainless steel, making it more practical for everyday wear and bringing it in at a lower price point than its predecessors.  Measuring 37mm across and 8mm thick, the Tambour Convergence is made from a proprietary hardened stainless steel. The watch’s defining feature is its mirror-polished finish—extending across the case, lugs, and crown—achieved through a patented treatment that also increases its surface hardness by nearly six times, reaching a hardness rating of 1,130 Vickers. This makes it more resistant to surface scratches than ordinary steel. According to LV, the mirror-polished finish also helps minor marks blend into the shiny surface, preserving its appearance over time.  In lieu of conventional hands, the Tambour Convergence uses two rotating hand-satin-brushed brass discs with rhodium-plated finishes and black numerals (one for the hours and another for ...
