Send us Fan Mail This week, producer Josh joins the show to chat about New York Watch Week and some of the new releases that come with it. Additionally, we chat about the difference between a watch’s capabilities and its eventual reality on the wrist, and how brand messaging has evolved to account for this. They may not be necessary, but the hardcore functionality certainly lends something to the watch’s personality and character in how we experience it.  Show Notes: Casio Timber Cruiser Rolex GMT-Master II NYC Watch Week Rolex Padellone Perpetual Toledano & Chan B/1 Dazzle Dazzle camouflage (created by British marine artist Norman Wilkinson) Opinion: Taglines and toolwatches Brooklyn Podcast Studio Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week I spotlight some new gear that I've picked up (which includes some very old gear) and talk about some gear that's stood the test of time. This is not meant to be a consumer-centric discussion, but rather a thoughtful look at what gets used over the long haul, and making a conscious effort to ultimately have fewer, nicer things. Additionally, I offer thoughts on the IWC Ingenieur 50th anniversary limited editions, and the new Rolex Perpetual Padellone.  Show Notes: The Deep Track Collective Horology Openworked Podcast Leica SL3-P Urth Filters & Straps Hasselblad 500 Series Red Wing Iron Rangers IWC Ingenieur 50th Anniversary Rolex Padellone Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week, I recap my time in Geneva with Collective Horology, and talk about a few of the standout releases from the show. Even Tudor got in on the action with the release of a new Northflag, a watch we've been waiting and hoping to see return. There's also hands-on thoughts on the new Zenith Chronomaster Solo Sport and Fears Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar. Finally, I wade into the Christopher Ward drama and ponder the role of media in calling out brands publicly.  Show Notes: The Deep Track Collective Horology CWC Sub300 Ti Ming Odyssey Gallet Watches Tudor Northflag Zenith Chromaster Solo Sport Bulgari x Vianney Halter Fears Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar Openworked Podcast Legare Chapter 1  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week, I discuss some changes that will be taking place at The Deep Track, and what my new role at Collective Horology will mean moving ahead. In short, it will allow for a greater focus on the adventures and gear that inform my journey around watches. Also discussed are new watches from Ming in the 57.05 Comet, a new Speedy Reduced, and the Straum Expedition. All in all, a pretty exciting week in the world of watches.  Show Notes: Collective Horology Collective Horology on Instagram Omega Speedmaster Professional Straum Expedition Omega Speedmaster 38 Ming 57.05 Comet Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono 39 has finally arrived for a hands-on look, and while the full review is still in the works, I offer first impressions about all the small details that excite me about this watch. Okay, so the yellow still isn't hitting, but many of the other details are, and they open the door for a watch I've been asking for for a very, very long time. Also in this episode, a quick look at the Nikonos camera, and the Canon Sure Shot WP.  Show Notes: The Deep Track Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT on Film Nikonos Tudor Black Bay Chrono 39 Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week, Wesley Smith returns to the podcast to chat about summer travel, the gear we’re using, and how some of us have taken a step back from social media and why. This episode contains insights on the how and why of the content and products we produce, and what motivates each of us. The gear oftentimes isn’t as important as the doing. There are still a few hats left for purchase - huge thanks to everyone that has picked one up, please tag The Deep Track if you’re showing off your fit on social.  Show Notes: The Deep Track Standard H Toronto Timepiece Show Ed Rhee on Instagram The Deep Track Hat Camera West Leica SL3-P Leica M10 Monochrome Light Lens Lab Autodromo Group B Night Stage II Autodromo Group B Chronograph Unpolished Watches Rolex Daytona 126500 Review Ben Collins on YouTube Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is a solo discussion about why we find nostalgia so compelling, and why that might ultimately be holding us back. Sometimes, capturing the look of the past doesn’t quite cut it, and taking the time to find period-correct pieces can reveal the full intent and experience. Film cameras offer a nice analogy for this discussion.  Show Notes: The Deep Track Shop Longines Hydroconquest Review by Devin Pennypacker Watches of Espionage - Heart of the Beast Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 Tudor Heritage Chronograph Nikon F3 Modern Leica M6 Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week, Karel Bachand of Barrelhand joins the podcast to discuss all things space watches, and the brand’s Monolith, a modern take on the genre. We tackle the history of developing watches for space, and the challenges that come with it, as well as how that history was wielded in the development of the Monolith. Additionally, we ponder the modern identity of the tool watch, and why concerted efforts in this space are few and far between these days. The Monolith represents a new frontier in many ways, and one that may not yet be fully understood (we barely scratch the surface in this episode), let alone appreciated.  Show Notes: Barrelhand Barrelhand Monolith Introduction on Hodinkee The Monolith Arthur C.

Send us Fan Mail Reddit is full of hot takes, and while most will elicit a dangerously deep eye roll, some of them hide some nuggets of wisdom, and it is here that we explore in this week's episode. Also discussed is a shift back to analog photography, and how that influences an appreciation for mechanical watches. But first, a look back at the Autodromo Group B Chronograph.  Show Notes: Autodromo Autodromo Group B Chronograph Autodromo Group C WatchHotTakes You don’t need a well rounded collection At some point, you’re destined to end up with a Speedmaster Vintage Rolex are the same build quality as modern Seiko 5 ETA based movements are a positive selling point Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes, you let a watch go, and you quickly realize you may come to regret the decision. In this episode, four watches are highlighted that fall into that category. Let's not call it regret, but these are certainly watches that linger for one reason or another. Additionally, new watches from Grand Seiko are explored, and hands-on impressions of new Parmigiani watches are offered.  Show Notes: CWC Diver 300ti Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Watches Parmigiani Toric and Tonda Hands-On Rolex Explorer II 16570 Linde Werdelin Spidolite Sinn EZM1 Rolex Submariner 114060 Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week, Wesley Smith returns to the podcast to chat F1, Le Mans, and of course, a few watches. We also look at modern and neo vintage Daytona references and reveal how they’ve come and gone from our own collections. Additionally, we confront the pitfalls of getting old and struggling to take care of ourselves post fatherhood. Yes, we cover a lot of ground in this episode.  Show Notes: The Deep Track Standard H Review: Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Cardinal Points 24 Hours of Le Mans Rolex Daytona 126500 Rolex Daytona 126502 Wesley’s Rolex Daytona 16520 Tudor Black Bay Chrono39 IWC Ingenieur in 35mm Tudor Goes Running Episode 20 with Zach Pina FIA’s Shock ADUO Ruling Lewis Hamilton on Hot Ones Zandvoort to leave the calendar Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week, Devin Pennypacker returns to the podcast to dig into all the somewhat controversial releases of the past week. We chat about the Barrelhand Monolith, the Vacheron Constantin Dual Time Cardinal Points, the Tudor Chrono 39, and more. Did Tudor finally find the right formula for their chronograph? Turns out, it’s complicated. We also touch on the 007: First Light video game, and how the newest Omega chronograph is handled in the game.  Show Notes: Josh’s Castelbajac Sport Quartz Chronograph (In Post) Vacheron Constantin Dual Time Cardinal Points Rolex GMT-Master II BLRO Barrelhand Monolith on Hodinkee Barrelhand Monolith Formex Aria Formex Field Automatic Tudor Black Bay Chrono 39 Tudor Monarch James Bond 007: First Light / Omega Seamaster Chronograph Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This week producer Josh joins the show to tackle the fallout from the AP x Swatch Royal Pop release, and assess what the pocketwatch says about the broader enthusiast space. We also chat about the influence of “luxury” in how watches are presented to us, and how our experiences in the independent and micro brand scene tell the real story of the industry. Finally, we ponder the effect of influencers and social media on collecting from a personal perspective.  Show Notes: Brooklyn Podcast Studio Josh’s Neo-Vintage Seiko Seiko 5H 23 Review Blake’s CWC Ti300 Jacques Bianchi Diver Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Urwerk x Ulysse Nardin Ur-Freak H.

Additionally, the CWC Ti 300 Dive watch gets a closer look, especially as it relates to the Tudor FXD. Through this lens, I also tackle the question of tool watches over the $500 price point.
