Ok, so when you read yesterday’s post, you thought “Well, that Seiko IS nice, but you know? I kind of dug the style of the Obris you showed us.” Well, then, gentle reader, I’ve got a treat for you, in the form of the Seiko SNDA65.
If you listened to the last HourTime podcast, you heard how at first the Obris Morgan I took a look at earlier this month got John’s hopes up, and then dashed them on the rocks when he realized the subdials weren’t chrono registers, but date-related. Let’s see if this Seiko can resurrect his faith in the low end of the market.
The last time I brought Glycine to your attention, it was to take a look at a watch that firmly rectangular. Today, I’d like to revisit them, but with one of their watches that has a softer feel to it – their Altus Chronograph.

When it comes to watches, you’ve got them coming with Swiss parts, or perhaps even Swiss-made. You want one that’s truly Swiss, through and through? Then you should be taking a look at Victorinox, aka “The Swiss Army” folks. It’s not the first time I’ve written about one, but they’ve brought out some new models, and this one grabbed my attention.
Why, the Chase-Durer Special Forces 1000XL UDT, of course! 
Now, why would you want to wear this if you’re not going anywhere? For that answer Read more…
Now this is how it’s done. Hodinkee has a pic of the new Tudor Monte Carlo, a two-register chrono with a little bit of style.

RGM, based out off Mount Joy, PA, is launching this beautiful chrono this year.
Driven by a larger Valgranges movement, the new Model #400 is a bold statement chronograph that will feature a variety of dials to choose from.
Amazing stuff. One more shot after the jump.
