Furthering 2024's apparent trend towards subtle refinement from many brands, the 6190 M.S.L doesn't reinvent the wheel for Serica. But it does add depth to a range of watches that have a strong following and offer a unique and handsome take on the continually strong trend towards vintage inspiration in modern sports watch design. Anyone who was sure (rather than just hopeful) that Vacheron would release another 222 in steel at this Watches & Wonders doesn't get the incredibly terrible miss that would have been from a marketing standpoint.

Eric Wind powered the creation of the recent Rowing Blazers Seiko 5 limited editions. Seiko might have overlooked the rally bezel without his involvement. Maybe there's something to be said about the balance of the dial when that's the case. Either way, I'll be curious to see how it looks (and wears) in person this week. It's also hard not to be impressed by the total horological package that the Classique 7337 represents. The self-winding caliber 502.3 QSE1 isn't a brand-new release whatsoever (in fact its architecture actually dates back to the 1970s), but its specifications put it nearly in a class of its own when compared to precious metal dress watches from other makers.
