Death Stranding, a popular PlayStation video game developed by Hideo Kojima, took over the gaming world with an interesting post-apocalyptic plotline.

Hamilton teamed up with Hideo Kojima on a new watch, which will be officially rolled out in the same month as Death Stranding 2.

The new Hamilton model is an all-black watch with a square casing accentuated by curved edges. Unlike other Hamilton watches, the Death Stranding Edition has a curved front face that looks post-apocalyptic, just like the game. It features seven different sapphire crystals that offer beautiful views of the dial.

While the center of the dial has a black PVD finish, the edge has a rough finish that adds to the whole look. Hour markers have a silver-like finish that breathes some life into the front face. While most hour markers have a silver-like appearance, the hour marker at 12 o’clock stands out due to its orange hue.

At the heart of the watch is a high-quality movement, popularly known as the H1 caliber, which delivers an 80-hour power reserve. The back of the watch honors the game with an artistic engraving that reads Death Stranding.

Like the casing, the strap is also made from titanium, which blends perfectly with the dial to complete the whole look.

Since this is a limited edition watch, the number will be capped at 2,000 pieces only. Although the watch has not been launched into the market, Hamilton has already shared the price tag—$1,495.

The American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 will hit the market on June 26, 2025.

New Ming 37.02 Ghost watch draws inspiration from architectural finishes
Ming's latest platinum watch is reminiscent of architectural components
Ming 37.02 Ghost

Popular for its minimalist aesthetic, Ming is now setting the standards with a new titanium watch, based on a previous 2024 model, the Ming 37.02. While the latest model has the same design as the 2024 edition, it is accentuated by a brushed finish that reflects light stylishly, making the watch look more modern. Ming’s main inspiration for the new watch was metallic finishes from different architectural components—baffles, claddings, struts, and buttresses.

Every Ming watch aligns with a certain theme. The LW.01 model, for instance, is made from a lightweight material and holds the title of the lightest model from the brand. Given that architectural finishes inspire the new Ghost model, the casing is made of Grade 2 titanium, a material that can be molded to align with the architectural theme.

Luxury watch creation always focuses on endurance. Clocks have been made with the intention of care and endurance, which is, of course, a sustainable practice. Even with this built-in endurance, the business sometimes lacked proper environmental tactics, and waste has been an unnecessary by-product of the industry.
Because buyers demand responsibility in product making these days, visionary watch companies now address their environmental impact. They do so with long-term plans that are more than just an advertising gimmick. These firms rethink everything from materials and production to packaging and brand ethos.
Below are five watch brands leading the charge with real environmental promise in 2025. This proves that luxury watchmaking can exist without compromising sustainability.

Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is recognized as the first purpose-built dive watch on the market, boasting water resistance up to 100 meters. In addition to this amazing feature, Submariner Rolex watches also come equipped with other extras that I particularly appreciate, including rotating 60-minute timing bezels, stainless steel cases, stainless steel three-link Oyster bracelets, black dials, and black bezels.

The earliest editions of Rolex Submariner watches featured 37 mm steel cases, no crown guards around the winding crowns, and radium-based luminescence. Eight references were manufactured during this initial phase of the series, ranging in water depth ratings, crown sizes, and dial styles. These early experimentation models only ensured that Rolex perfected a formula that combined elegance and precision. Are you ready to enter the world of Rolex Submariner? Here, we break down the full details of the iconic series.
