Watches Tonight with Tim Mosso

Tim Mosso discusses the most popular class of luxury watch: sports watches. Between dive watches, pilot's watches, chronographs, and antimagnetic watches, this episode offers an option for every kind of adventure. From the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch to the Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms to the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic Blue Edition, this show features a sports watch for any budget.
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch family is best known for the NASA-approved Speedmaster Professional. But the grey ceramic Speedmaster Moonwatch Grey Side of the Moon is a better match for everyday life on earth. With a 44.25mm ceramic case, automatic chronograph movement, and solid platinum dial, the Omega Grey Side of the Moon is impressively refined. Due to the lightness of ceramic, this chronograph is easy to wear and scratch resistant in equal measure. Although its current retail price of $13,600 is not cheap, you get what you pay for.
Tudor launched its original Heritage Black Bay in 2012, and it has become a franchise for the Rolex sub-brand. The 2024 Tudor Black Bay Ceramic Blue Edition is a special release launched in association with the Red Bull Formula 1 Team. This scratch-resistant dive watch boasts a unidirectional diving bezel, 200-meter water resistance, and a screw down crown made of stainless steel. The blue dial features classic Tudor Submariner "Snowflake" hands and a blue base with subtle granular texture. With a Master Chronometer certified Tudor automatic caliber MT5602, this Black Bay Ceramic offers a lot of watch for its retail price of $5,150.
The Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms was a sensation when launched in the fall of 2023. As the follow-up to 2022's Swatch Moonswatch, Scuba Fifty Fathoms helped to roll out the new Fifty Fathoms 42mm case size while also upholding Blancpain's boast of having never built a quartz watch. The Scuba Fifty Fathoms is water resistant to 300 feet - 50 fathoms - and ticks with an automatic mechanical caliber borrowed from the Swatch Sistem51. Several versions of the admittedly plastic Scuba Fifty Fathoms give the buyer a choice of different colors and dials with or without date windows. At a retail price of around $400, the Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms is one of the most affordable mechanical dive watches available from any source.
