Mike Horn has always been quite popular for his resiliency and adventurous spirit. The latest Panerai watch, the Submersible QuarantaQuattro Mike Horn, passes down this spirit by diving into a new world inspired by Mike Horn’s resilience—a trait that took him through challenging expeditions in different parts of the world.

Mike Horn is one of the few explorers who traveled across the world without relying on cars or motorboats—he did all this on foot.

Just like Mike’s expeditions, this new timepiece is suitable for different environments. While the new watch draws inspiration from Mike Horn, it’s a re-imagined version of the Submersible QuarantaQuattro model.

Unlike other models, this one comes in a new color that makes it stand out from the rest. A few details have also been tweaked to make it more stylish. The previous model had smaller hour markers, but the new Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro PAM01676 comes with big hour markers, which give the watch a unique appearance.

Thanks to the brushed finish, the front face has a shiny appearance that adds to the whole look. Apart from that, it is complemented by a 60-minute scale with white denotations—a color that creates a contrast between different parts of the watch.

The watch draws power from the Panerai P.900 caliber, a high-end movement with a 72-hour power reserve. Even though previous models had a date function, the new watch doesn’t come with a date function—this is one of the small details that makes it stand out from the rest of the watches.

This watch retails for $11,900.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)

Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market

Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
