The Tissot PRX was a revolution when it launched in 2021, heralding the modern integrated bracelet sports watch movement. But there has always been a hole in the collection — a chronograph. The new PRX Quartz Chronograph adds a long-overdue value leader to the line, featuring a 41mm case that’s a staggering 3mm thinner than the automatic PRX offerings.

Panerai’s watches have never been designed to disappear on the wrist. Size and presence are fundamental elements of the brand’s identity, from the historic Radiomir and Luminor designs through today’s Submersible collection. Panerai has long offered its Submersible dive watch in both imposing 47mm and more compact 42mm formats. The new Submersible QuarantaQuattro splits the difference, introducing a 44mm case size designed to preserve the collection’s unmistakable character in a three-watch collection. The Submersible’s design draws directly on the brand’s long association with the maritime world and the precision instruments it historically supplied to the Italian Navy and its specialist diving units. The QuarantaQuattro does not attempt to reinvent that formula. Instead, the 44mm case adds another set of proportions to the established Submersible architecture. The signature Safety Lock crown-protection system remains prominently positioned at 3 o’clock, while a unidirectional rotating bezel with graduated diving scale provides the means to track elapsed immersion time. The significance of the QuarantaQuattro isn’t that Panerai has made the Submersible small; it hasn’t. The 44mm format occupies what may prove to be an appealing middle ground. It retains the broad bezel, oversized luminous indications, substantial crown-protection bridge, and muscular proportions that make a Submersible immediately recognizable, while sitting between the established 42mm and 47mm offerings. And with three very different treatments available at launch — lightweight Carbotech and deep blue, steel and stark black, or steel with white and military green — Panerai isn’t merely introducing another case diameter. It’s turning 44mm into a new pillar of the Submersible family. Discover the Submersible QuarantaQuattro collection now over on aBlogtoWatch. #SponsoredPost

Every year, Jacob buys a new pair of running shoes ahead of Mission Miles, an annual event that raises awareness of Project Recover’s mission to locate the over 80,000 missing-in-action American service members since the Second World War.

Somehow, in eight years of reviewing watches, Mike has never spent serious time with anything from Doxa — until now. The Doxa Sub 300 Beta “Frogger,” created in partnership with California retailer Belmont Watches, pays tribute to the U.S. Navy’s history in Coronado with the Underwater Demolition Teams and SEALs, featuring a frogman-green, matte-cased Sub 300 with details from the popular Doxa Army. They may be gone, but this is one worth watching out for. Head over to ABTW for Mike’s full review.   ablogtowatch.com/my-first-do…

Parallax is the perceived shift in an object’s position when it is viewed from different angles, and Tsar Bomba has embraced this concept to inform the design of its latest horological creation — the Parallax. Inspired by high-performance engineering and showcasing advanced materials like ceramic and carbon fiber, the Tsar Bomba Parallax is a distinctly modern triple calendar with the added functionality of an oversized power reserve indicator and a 24-hour display. The Parallax’s futuristic case features a distinctly sculpted geometric profile that measures 43.2mm in diameter by 51.3mm in the lug-to-lug direction, while the overall height of the watch comes in at 14.1mm. Instead of having a single aperture for its front display, the Tsar Bomba Parallax separates its oversized power reserve indicator from the rest of its functions, and the complication appears through an arch-shaped window located at the top of the watch. Powering the Parallax is the Miyota Caliber 9100, which operates at a rate of 4Hz with a 40-hour power reserve; however, the indicators for its day, month, and 24-hour displays have been modified to operate in an arc-shaped manner, which allows Tsar Bomba to create the Parallax’s multi-layered dial. Each of the Parallax colorways is completed by a matching FKM rubber strap, seamlessly integrating with the sculptural silhouette of the model’s case via Tsar Bomba’s signature quick-release system, allowing owners to quickly change straps without the use of any tools. All Tsar Bomba watches are united by their bold and inherently modern designs, but the Parallax adheres to a completely different aesthetic concept, and rather than emphasizing its mechanical internals like other models from the brand’s catalog, the Parallax maintains a futuristic tool-oriented instrument appearance.

Motorsports are Sean’s first love; naturally, the racing chronograph is his favorite type of watch. Unfortunately for him, many tend to lean into bold design and genre clichés. Then there’s the Baume & Mercier Riviera Chronograph GPSI Limited Edition. Created in celebration of Baume & Mercier’s status as official timekeeper of the 2026 Gran Premio Storico d’Italia, the LE offers a 41mm stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet and 100m water resistance for a package that ignores most of the rules surrounding racing chronographs and succeeds anyway.

Named after the world’s first commercial jetliner, the Ming 57.05 Comet is a globetrotting wonder with a bracelet to match the spectacle. The 57.05 Comet features a 40mm stainless steel case and matching, patent-pending bezel that accounts for daylight saving time. The dial’s 24-hour disc rotates with the passage of time, adding another playful layer to the 57.05 Comet’s quiver. Paired with Ming’s mind-boggling, 3D-printed titanium Polymesh bracelet or strap, it’s as versatile a companion abroad as it is at home. Best of all?
