The stealthy, utilitarian watches are on the agenda this week’s release. Either inspired by car brands or designed to withstand the obstacles of military units, they share similar colourways despite being doomed to a very different environment. But it’s not just a tool watch. There are also the highly anticipated innovative releases available now. Some explore different design languages, while others bring technological innovation. It’s easy to guess which is easier. Enjoy reading!
