Oceaneva has recently unveiled the Deep Explorer, a dynamic dive watch masterfully blending rugged tool watch functionality with a distinctly refined aesthetic. This latest creation immediately enthralls with its illustrious 41.5mm case, intricately crafted from a choice of either brushed titanium or lustrous 316L stainless steel, ensuring a presence on the wrist that is both commanding and exceptionally wearable. The unidirectional bezel features a scratch-resistant ceramic insert with a polished, lumed scale, offering both supreme durability and exceptional legibility in the most demanding conditions. It is a timepiece that speaks to the modern adventurer without sacrificing an inch of elegance.

Beneath the double-domed sapphire crystal lies a dial of remarkable elegance. Available in sunray-brushed black, deep blue, or a glacier green, each finish captures the light with a dramatic, radiant quality. The applied geometric indices and skeletonized hands are filled with Grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova, ensuring flawless readability even in the absence of significant light. Powering this instrument is the robust and precise Swiss Made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, a caliber revered for its dependability and 38-hour power reserve. This impressive engine can be seen through an exhibition case back, revealing the meticulous decoration of the rotor, a testament to the brand’s dedication to transparency and the ultimate in craftsmanship.

Swatch’s new gold MoonSwatch is priced like it’s 1969

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Guess what? It's another MoonSwatch — but this isn't just another colorway. The new drop from the Switzerland-based watchmaker, the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon 1969, is the first to use real gold across the dial, hands, crown, and pushers.

The watch marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on July 21, 1969.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5
The new watches rep the iconic Bond car right down to subdials shaped like its dashboard gauges.
Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It's a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the "squircle" gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5's steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling's in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches
These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars
Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.
