Miami GP with IWC In Photos; The Deep Track Podcast, Ep. 64 - The Deep Track

1 week ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

This week on the podcast, Wesley Smith and I recap our recent travels with IWC to Goodwood outside of London, and the Miami GP outside of, well, Miami. We chat watch spotting, new releases (and some old ones) from IWC, and of course, race cars. These trips held a few surprises even for us, which we share our experiences around, from trackside action, to biking the circuit.
Tudor Pelagos Ultra Review: A Surpisingly Refined Extreme Pelagos

1 week ago | thedeeptrack.com | Justin Couture

The storied history of Tudor’s dive watches needs little introduction to most enthusiasts. From the days of the Marine Nationale-issued Snowflakes and the Royal Canadian Navy-issued Submariners, to the modern Pelagos FXD, which has become almost eponymous with military application. Tudor is a brand with a legacy of making true tool watches. The introduction of the Pelagos Ultra at Watches and Wonders 2025 brought about the most technically impressive, not to mention capable, model to-date.
Brew Metric Gets Manual Winding Movement

1 week ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

The Brew Metric embodies the very best of the modern small independent brand space. It’s also a watch that seems to be endlessly versatile, as each iteration and colorway that’s released works better than the last. This week, the Metric collection is welcoming a hand wound movement for the first time with a pair of limited production references which bring a fresh perspective on the well established formula. It should come as no surprise that they work rather well.
Dennison Unveils First Collaboration with Collectibility’s John Reardon

1 week ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

After re-launching the brand (again) in 2024, Dennison seems to have found their stride. The historic watch brand has reinvented itself with a keen eye for details thanks to a design by none other than Emmanuel Gueit, designer of the Royal Oak Offshore, and the Rolex 1908. The cushion shaped case has hosted some rather exotic dials to date, including stone and wood, and all the while have kept pricing to under $700. It’s a similar entry method we saw used by Furlan Marri not long ago.
Doxa SUB 200 Gets Polished Steel Bezel

1 week ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

Doxa is updating their Sub 200 collection this week with a polished steel bezel that will join the existing references that use a sapphire bezel. The move brings a decidedly throwback vibe to the Sub 200 which, not surprisingly, works quite well when it comes to pretty much any Doxa. The Sub 200 was initially released in 2019, but it’s based on one of the original Sub designs of the early ‘60s, prior to the emergence of the Sub 300.
Tudor Gets Racy with New Black Bay Chronograph “Carbon 25”

1 week ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

In 2023, Tudor introduced a pair of FXD watches done for their partner, Alinghi Red Bull Racing, and both showcased carbon composite mid cases, a first for the brand. A year later, they followed up with another carbon composite FXD chronograph as a nod to their involvement in competitive cycling.
Hands-On: IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 with Green Dial

3 weeks ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

IWC took big steps in expanding their Ingenieur collection this year in Geneva, with new sizes, materials, and complications all finding their way into the brand’s most famous integrated bracelet design. I’ve already given a breakdown of the new releases here, and here, but I wanted to give another look at the only new 40mm Ingenieur in steel to be released with a rather unique green dial.
Ming Creates Ultimate Sleeper Sports Watch with 37.02 Ghost

3 weeks ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

The sport watch, or even broader tool watch genre is defined by a set of features and design codes that generally set them apart at a glance. Big, brushed cases, notchy bezels, index rings, matte dials… all hallmarks of a watch ready for extreme environments and activities. At least, that’s what the marketing will generally lead you to believe. In reality, many watches that don’t adhere to the above formula are perfectly suitable for whatever the vast majority of us are ready to throw at them.
Hands-On: Hermès Cut Gets Le Temps Suspendu Treatment

4 weeks ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

Hermès introduced their Cut collection last year in Geneva to a warm reception as a watch that served as a perfect compliment to the existing H08. The French fashion house has since fleshed out the collection with a variety of sizes, and this year we’re getting the Cut Le Temps Suspendu. This is a concept that took home a GPHG price when it was introduced back in 2011, and this year it’s being expressed within the design language of the Cut.
Nodus TrailTrekker Gets A Second ACT

1 month ago | thedeeptrack.com | Blake Buettner

One of the best releases from the small independent brand space last year was the TrailTrekker GMT watch from Nodus in collaboration with Raven. The watch used the Miyota 9075 inside of a novel warm grey case and bracelet that quickly became a fan favorite as the ultimate all-rounder outdoorsy types. You can read more about the original TrailTrekker right here. This week, we’re getting a part two for the TrailTrekker that takes a different form of inspiration in the Arctic Circle Trail.
