This week we spotlight some exciting new watches from Zodiac and Citizen: the new GMT and second-generation of the lauded Tsuyosa. Moving on to gear and accessories, we have standout hits from Wesn and ADPT. Finally, our deal of the week is a special Benrus watch that you may not have seen before. Get the inside scoop below!
Treat Yourself: New Zodiac GMT
The new Zodiac GMT is a true treat: now available in two fresh flavors, the Super Sea Wolf GMT has taken a winning formula and improved upon it. A new fuschia and white bezel is now paired with a black dial (and matching pinkish GMT hand), while the black and gray bezel variant comes with the silver dial and red GMT hand. Notably, the bezels now feature 24-click bidirectional mechanisms. The watches also sport subtle updates to the case, including a new brushed finishing on the lugs. On the inside is a new movement, the STP 7-20. It offers an independently set 24-hour hand, hand-winding, and 40 hours of power reserve.
Value-Packed Pick: New Citizen Tsuyosa Small Seconds
The new Citizen Tsuyosa watches take a successful first generation product and add even more detail, quality, and value. The new Tsuyosa models come with textured dials, new movements, and a new construction. The new small seconds format is a slightly dressier and more unique look for the sport watch, and Citizen has made the straps and bracelets interchangeable for this new series of Tsuyosa watches. At under $600, they remain fantastic value propositions and solid watches in their own right.
Upgrade Your Kit: Wesn CB Carabiner
Wesn has the perfect “Upgrade Your Kit” candidate this week with its slick CB Carabiner. Forged from titanium and available in both slate and black flavors, this minimalist carabiner has no moving parts and can but can still handle anything you throw at it – keys, gear, you name it.

When You Have Too Many Watches: ADPT US-Made Mil-Strap
The ADPT US-Made Mil-Straps are the best way to bring freshness and novelty into your existing collection without breaking the bank. The result of three years of development, these sturdy nylon straps are American-made and are designed to handle all elements and activities.

Deal of the Week: Benrus Orbit Robot
Our Deal of the Week is a charming watch that you won’t see every day. The Benrus Orbit Robot is, by any measure, a vintage reissue done right. Based on a beloved reference from 1972, the new Orbit Robot is simply stunning with its fumé dial, bright orange hands, and faithful UFO-shaped stainless steel case. Benrus has struck the balance of staying true to the original design while bringing the product into contemporary specifications and tastes. Notable upgrades include a reliable automatic movement, 200 meters of water resistance, and a particularly playful image on the caseback – take a look!
