Since 2024 is considered to be Senna’s 30th anniversary, Tag Heuer launched a stylish and sophisticated watch to mark the occasion.

TAG Heuer Carrera Extreme Sport Chronograph Tourbillon X Senna — Tag Heuer

The watch has a 44mm casing made from titanium for enhanced durability. And thanks to the sandblasted finish, the case has a very interesting texture that complements the overall design. On the front side, there’s a tachymeter scale with denotations that go up to 400km/hr. Think of the denotations as the high speeds that Senna hit during his Formula One career.

Featuring an openwork dial, the Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon x Senna offers beautiful views of the movement. The bridges are characterized by smooth curves similar to racetrack bends.

While the openwork dial is designed to look like the racetrack, the movement has a beautiful check-like pattern. In terms of performance, this timepiece is equipped with a movement which offers a 65-hour power reserve.

As a limited edition Tag Heuer watch, only 500 pieces will be launched into the market, and each piece will retail at $37,900.

Timex’s new Kermit and Smurf watches are made for Rolex nerds

French artist seconde/seconde/ creates playful Rolex tributes with American watchmaker

Timex smurfs roblex watch

Timex has released the fourth installment of its cult IYKYK series with French horological artist seconde/seconde/, introducing limited edition homages to two beloved discontinued Rolex Submariner models that have achieved legendary status among collectors.
The collaboration features playful interpretations of the "Kermit" (reference 16610LV) and "Smurf" (reference 116619LB), two iconic Submariners known by their colorful nicknames derived from popular culture. These affordable alternatives capture the essence of watches that now command premium prices on the secondary market.
French artist Romaric André, known professionally as seconde/seconde/, has built a reputation for irreverent dial treatments that transform ordinary timepieces into sought-after pieces. His IYKYK series with Timex specifically targets watch enthusiasts familiar with Rolex's nickname culture, where models earn monikers like Batman, Pepsi, and Hulk based on their color schemes.
The "Kermit" homage features a cartoonish frog footprint as its seconds hand, referencing the original's distinctive black dial and green bezel combination produced from 2003 to 2010. The "Smurf" variant showcases a red and white mushroom seconds hand, nodding to both the animated characters' homes and the original white gold Submariner's bright blue dial and bezel from 2008 to 2020.
Built on Timex's reliable Q platform, both watches feature 38mm cases with friction-fit rotating 12-hour bezels, quartz movements with accessible battery hatches, faux-integrated steel bracelets, and generously domed acrylic crystals. The familiar Q Timex DNA ensures dependable performance while keeping costs accessible.
Limited production adds collectibility, with the Kermit restricted to 1,145 pieces and the Smurf to 1,075 pieces, each individually numbered on the caseback. Despite seemingly large production numbers, previous IYKYK releases have sold quickly due to their cult following among watch enthusiasts.
The series succeeds because it operates on multiple levels. Casual observers see colorful watches with whimsical cartoon elements, while informed collectors recognize clever references to some of horology's most coveted timepieces. This dual appeal has made seconde/seconde/ collaborations highly sought after in the affordable watch segment.
At $249 each, both models are available through Timex and Huckberry, offering an accessible entry point into the world of Rolex-inspired design. For Rolex enthusiasts priced out of the genuine articles or those seeking conversation starters that celebrate watch culture, these limited editions provide perfect alternatives that wear their inspiration proudly while offering genuine Timex reliability and charm.

Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph Ocean Green is the dive watch of summer

Swiss manufacturer adds fresh colorway to beloved neo-retro dive chronograph collection

Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph

Oris has introduced a striking new colorway to its popular Divers Sixty-Five chronograph collection with the Ocean Green variant, adding fresh appeal to the brand's vintage-inspired dive watch series that has charmed enthusiasts for over a decade.
The Divers Sixty-Five collection, first revived in 2015 to celebrate Oris' iconic 1965 dive watch, has evolved into a comprehensive family of neo-retro divers that blend mid-century aesthetics with contemporary mechanics. This latest chronograph iteration continues that tradition while introducing an elegant Ocean Green and silver-grey color combination.
The 40mm stainless steel case measures 15.40mm thick with a 48mm lug-to-lug span, offering substantial wrist presence while maintaining vintage proportions. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a deep green aluminum insert that draws inspiration from natural elements, whether ocean depths or the forested hillsides surrounding Oris' historic Hölstein factory.
The dial presents a sophisticated contrast with its sunray silver-grey base complemented by dark green subdials for running seconds and 30-minute counter. Applied indices and hands filled with Super-LumiNova ensure legibility in low-light conditions, while the distinctive shield-shaped index at 12 o'clock maintains the collection's vintage character. Vintage-style pump pushers flank the screw-in fluted crown, reinforcing the timepiece's retro appeal.
Powering the chronograph is Oris calibre 771, based on the reliable Sellita SW510 movement. This modern automatic chronograph delivers a practical 62-hour power reserve while operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The movement includes a stop-seconds function for precise time setting, combining vintage aesthetics with contemporary chronograph performance.
The watch offers 100-meter water resistance suitable for recreational diving and water sports, maintaining the collection's aquatic heritage while serving as a versatile daily timepiece. The gently domed sapphire crystal and solid caseback complete the vintage-inspired design language.
Available from July 2025, Oris provides two options: a sustainably-sourced black Cervo Volante deer leather strap with steel pin buckle for CHF 4,000, or a stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp for CHF 4,200. The Ocean Green colorway demonstrates Oris' ability to refresh classic designs while maintaining their timeless appeal.
