WTF Is Zenith Doing?! New Watches from Tag Heuer, Nomos, Hamilton and more!

[@roamy3605]

Oleg: Thanks man. You are bringing it every week and bringing it good! I remember the good old days when you were a newbie to watches. You are now a full blown watch sommelier. Well maybe not that exactly, but pretty damn good, and I love the weekly specials that you are giving us. My dog Colby still is looking to trade ear bites with Bond!

[@24hourstime]

Thank you very much for your kind words! It's hard to believe I've been making video about watches for around 7 years now! I can't even watch 30 seconds of my old videos haha Huge respect and a thank you for sticking with the channel for so long!!! Give ear scratches to Colby from us!

[@AnyoxB.D.]

This is the best weekly watch recap on KZbin. Keep up the good work 👍

[@24hourstime]

Thank you very much!

[@fark69]

I like Nomos and partnering with Doctors without Borders is incredible stuff. Thanks for putting that on my radar!

[@24hourstime]

I agree. That Nomos looks awesome and it supports a good cause!

[@matports_live]

Tag & LVMH know how the modern collectors think. The heavy hitters will be the 44mm F1s, then when they release smaller versions within the next year, those will get snapped up as well. It's all bait on the end of a fishing line.

[@24hourstime]

You're right! They have to think about future releases. We're probably going to see an annual update to this line.

[@ramhambam95]

I really love Nomos watch design the only thing preventing me from purchasing one is the long lug to lug. i feel it would look too big on my skinny ass wrist lol

[@paulkukula6541]

Love the new Tag Heuer F1 release. The Swatch/Blancpain Scuba, I’ve seen on my Specialist Doctor. He’s got Patek, IWC, Blancpain in his collection. His kids got him the swatch as a bit of fun. Wears it often.

[@24hourstime]

That's fun! I love when people with expensive watch collections wear cheaper watches for fun.

[@leoanthony7281]

TAG Heuer doing some good work with their new designs from Aquaracer, F1 and Carrera lines.

[@roamy3605]

I own the newer Aquastar Benthos Founders Edition/Chronograph. I bought it pre-ordered. It's a thick watch but I love the 60 minute central minute chronograph function. I keep trying to figure out why I should re-sell it but I just can't. This watch looks so good! It's macho as hell with a little bit of elegance (weird but true). I can imagine this newest Aquastar Benthos (non chronograph) being great because it's slim and having the same good looks. It's a real diver and looks very much like my Aquastar chrono. Don't be afraid of buying from Aquastar unless you are trying to keep up with the Jones's. Believe me, you will be the only one around wearing one of these cool watches and they are so good!

[@24hourstime]

That is awesome! I think every collection needs a watch like that Aquaster Benthos Founders edition. It's a watch that you will (almost) never see someone else wear. It is also supper unique with very interesting history! Great choice my friend!

[@Horizontalvertigo]

Missed the interesting news about the El Primero which is the fact they're working on making the movement & production more efficient for use throughout LVMH. I think Bulgari's crazy miniature automatic movement is really insane for small watches like the Serpenti, brings a lot of watchmaking to women's watches in particular. My favourite LVMH reveal is that amazing/hilarious Gerald Genta, gorgeous

[@24hourstime]

Thanks for this. I did miss that news. It would be great to see some El Primero based movement in Tag chronos etc.

[@anthonystevens8683]

I do like the new Nomos editions, I have an old Ludwig 36 that wears larger as it's all dial and the lugs are quite long. It's a very thin watch for an off the shelf auto. I'm happy that TAG are back as F1 sponsors, they have a greater heritage in motorsport including the older days of F1. Oh and I've never seen a Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms in the wild and I am one of those people who tends to notice what watches people wear unless it's a fruit based smart watch as they are everywhere but I'm sure they are great.

[@24hourstime]

"fruit based smart watch" 😂

[@MrAndy76101]

I saw that while the Rainbow Zenith isn't limited edition, they will only make 50 per year. Doesn't hold a candle to the Daytona though. Love the Skeleton Chrono myself, think it works really well with the subdials.

[@richardf7223]

I got their skeleton defy extreme chrono…love it. I wear it most days

[@24hourstime]

I think that Zenith Skeleton Chrono is a type of watch that you have to see in person. Some watches are hard to showcase well thought the pictures.

[@isbestlizard]

Ahhhh while i love hearing about the expensive watches, I need to live within my budget and so am super psyched I preordered a $500 watch from a microband last night :D

[@fark69]

Nice! Congrats on the pick up!

What the heck happened to that strap on one of the Ming pictures??? Half the strap is mounted backwards with the wrong side up 😂

[@Ryan_Tinney]

What are you talking about!

[@24hourstime]

I think there were taking art-sy pictures

[@stephenfitt5633]

Was hoping Tag’s sponsorship would result in reissue of a line inspired by original F1 range (or straight reissue) not a 44mm £4k watch

[@andrewd7586]

What about the F1 Kith (reissue)?🤮

[@rtruite]

I like Zenith, but the rainbow release makes me less likely to buy a Zenith.

[@HydrogenAlpha]

The Zenith looks way better than the Daytona.

[@kyledriscollmusic]

personally I think the skeleton zenith is sick

[@24hourstime]

I am in a minority with my opinion of not liking the design. Quite a few people in the comments said they like that watch as well. I need to go and see it in person.

[@rolisreefranch]

Come on, man. It'd be perfect with a new Jaguar.

[@24hourstime]

LOL Jaaaaaggggg *Clarkson's voice

[@vonyp6018]

yay, im the first to comment !! great show... keep up the good work !! ming.... but not at 6k !

[@24hourstime]

Thank you! That Ming looks so cool but damn $6k is a lot of money

[@jcrobles63]

I own the Indian Ocean, I don’t wear it all that much.

[@24hourstime]

How do you find the durability of that watch?

[@wastedaga1n]

I'm only wearing watches that cost as much as a apartment building in 1994

[@24hourstime]

lol

[@spurensucher234]

The reason ist, you can buy this zenith, but can’t buy this Rolex for retail price. Only for market and this is wide overpowered

[@IsmaelMartinezPR]

Man again with 42mm on the large side. No it is not it's just fine at 42. Why Christopher Ward bother with a useless Office GMT. I would really prefer the Miyota 9075 to this.

[@me-cq7wv]

If I had the money I would buy the zenith. Why ? Its not a rolex and probably better moment in it.

[@EricZ726]

Is that an older Coke or Pepsi on the wrist?

[@alasadalnubi]

YES, what is that?! It’s not a Tudor and it can’t be an SKS…right??

[@24hourstime]

Yes, it's the GMT Master II 16710

[@EricZ726]

@@24hourstime good on you. I have the new Pepsi Ceramic. Haven’t been able to bond with it yet. I do prefer the older model that you have.

[@joelcohen4353]

I'm not a big fan of the Zenith, but I'm not sure it's just a ripoff of the Daytona, especially since the Daytona used to have a Zenith movement.

[@fark69]

Daytona used to have a zenith movement, but Daytona did the rainbow Chrono design first. How is it not a rip-off of that design?

[@joelcohen4353]

@@fark69 If you are referring to just the sparkly bits around the bezel, Rolex didn't invent that. You'll find rainbow dials on everything from Hublots to Moser Streamliners to AP Royal Oak special editions, to name just a few. If you are referring to the three register layout, Rolex *definitely* didn't invent that. That part is dictated by the choice of movements. Rolex chose to use a Zenith movement, and their watch turned out looking like a Zenith. Go figure.

[@doperdr]

Zenith is doing the right thing. Anyone who is interested in multi sapphire watches but doesnt want to play shitty flipper games should also have a clear way to acquire what he wants.

[@fark69]

We will find out soon if any of the people interested in those watches wanted them because of genuine interest or because they said Rolex on them and were scarce to buy

[@markikn3183]

No, it isn't a rip-off and you need to get real about the watch market instead of pretending every watch lives in a vacuum. Zenith has its hardcore fanclub and some of them are very rich people. When you make a $112k factory bling piece and limit it to 50 per year, you're not aiming it at people who care much about price tags. Now, it may not be to your taste, but calling it a rip-off tells me more about your lack of understanding than anything else.

[@riadrasimi9958]

You are right! He is just a „watch influencer“ F him!

[@StefanoTatti]

Better him than other under wedges from watch companies that describe 4/6k watches as a bargain!

[@jamesblonde2271]

Its a stupid watch at a stupid price, a fool & his money. 😂

[@AnyoxB.D.]

Fiesty 😹🌈

[@mattk8166]

He said it was a Rip-off of the Rainbow Daytona. Meaning it is trying to copy it. He does have issue with the price, but didn't use Rip-off in that context. But to your point saying it will sell... just because a few people will buy it, doesn't mean it is good value.
