The Grey NATO – 212 – The New Watches We've Been Thinking About
This week, Jason and James sit down to chat about a growing list of watches that have been on their minds over the past couple of months. From Bremont’s latest releases and new dive watches from Seiko, to Nomos, ZRC, and the possibility – hope, really – that we are on the edge of a golden era for GMTs, this main topic features some exciting new watches, movements, and even a small rant from James…
If we missed any of your favorite new watches, be sure to let us know in the comments.
From the start, Jason has a recap of his final days and amazing dives in Bonaire, and James is prepping for another extended run of travel through Europe and back to the US west coast. Stay in the mix for a Final Notes which promises to have you efficiently charging all your gear while digging into the history of music from James Bond.

Love the discussion on Serica. My 5303-1 diver is easily my most worn watch, usually on a bonklip. It’s amazing, love its warmth and character. And my most accurate watch to boot. Usually around 0.0 to +0.5 spd, and never clocks outside +\- 2 spd.
For an even deeper dive into the Music of Bond there is a series of podcasts that go into extensive detail on the individual scores for each film including super interesting background with archived interviews and interspersed music. I am linking the episode for Thunderball below.
