This week we welcome Kat Shoulders to the podcast to chat about the newly released Oris Divers Sixty-Five 60th Anniversary Edition, which we both traveled to Vail, Colorado to see. We discuss our adventures on the trip, our thoughts on the watch, as well as the overall state of dive watch enthusiasm hitting a fatigue point. Kat is an accomplished photographer, and we also talk about our shared love of cameras and how we can work in more non-watch photography to our schedules this year.

This week is a solo episode with a discussion around the reemergence of quartz watches as depicted in a recent article by the New York Times, a home brew project that brings a red aluminum heat shield to the MoonSwatch, and the titanium IWC GST Aquatimer 2000. There's also a deeper look at what the Aquatimer has become, and where it could potentially go from here, through the lens of its past. This is a great dive watch collection that could use some love, but thankfully, there are still plenty of interesting examples available from its history.

This week we welcome Collective Horology co-founder Gabe Reilly to the podcast to discuss the brand’s 10th collaborative watch releasing today, the Zenith Defy Skyline C.X. The new watch is the second collaboration between Collective Horology and Zenith, and the first since 2019 and their initial product offering, the C.01. Gabe offers a wealth of insight not only to the process, but to the industry as a whole, and to how Collective Horology fits into that bigger picture by way of a focus on independent watchmaking.
