Bulova Lunar Pilot Black Hole
Inspired by the depths of space, Bulova’s Lunar Pilot Black Hole captures the mysteries of the farthest reaches through one of Bulova’s legendary timepieces from its Archive Series. It’s the first Lunar Pilot offered in 41mm, and this limited edition arrives in a special Black Hole box complete with a travel case and matching Bulova clock.
The 41.2mm stainless steel case is black ion plated with a matte finish, offset by a bright polished bezel and matching pushers, and rated to 100m water resistance. Under a flat sapphire crystal, the six-hand chronograph dial is blacked out with Musou paint that absorbs 99.4% of light, paired with a gun-metal-tone tachymeter scale and a slim matching handset and applied markers lit with grey Super-LumiNova. Three recessed, circular-grooved sub-dials carry a 1/20 chronograph seconds counter at 3 o’clock, running seconds at 6 o’clock, and a 60-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. It closes on a matching black ion-plated 3-link stainless steel bracelet with a push-button deployant clasp, 20mm at the lugs.
Power comes from Bulova’s proprietary NP20 High Performance Quartz movement, built around a 3-pronged quartz crystal resonating at 262kHz — eight times the frequency of standard quartz — for accuracy rated to within seconds per year, while still driving a smoothly sweeping chronograph hand and running seconds hand rather than the usual quartz tick. The watch weighs 165g and is backed by Bulova’s 3-year limited warranty.
Spinnaker SpongeBob SquarePants DoodleBob Limited Edition Watch Collection
Inspired by the iconic “Frankendoodle” episode, Spinnaker’s SpongeBob SquarePants DoodleBob Limited Edition collection pulls three of its dive watches into the Doodle dimension, where clean lines become sketches and classic case shapes get a mischievous twist. The line spans three models — the mid-size Croft in Minute Sketch, the California-cased Hull in Patty Parade, and the skeletonized Fleuss in Ripped Reality — each wrapped in its own hand-drawn artwork. Hidden within the production run of every variant are six rare watches carrying secret UV-activated graffiti on the dial, as if DoodleBob himself snuck into the factory before the watch left the drawing board.
All three cases are stainless steel with screw-down crowns and anti-reflection coated sapphire lenses, but each wears the theme differently. The Croft Mid-Size runs a compact 40mm case, 14.15mm thick with a 47mm lug-to-lug, on a 20mm stainless bracelet with a fold-over push-button clasp (plus a white silicone strap in the box) and is rated to 15 ATM. The Hull California steps up to a 42mm case, 14.4mm thick with a 47.5mm lug-to-lug, on a 22mm bracelet, rated to 10 ATM. The Fleuss is the largest of the three at 43mm, just 13.2mm thick with a 51mm lug-to-lug, on a 22mm bracelet with an added safety lock, and matches the Croft’s 15 ATM rating.
The Croft and Hull are both powered by a Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic movement with three hands and a date function, while the Fleuss runs a Japanese TMI NH70 automatic skeleton movement with three hands, leaving the DoodleBob-themed rotor and gear train exposed through an open dial. All three use applied indexes filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova for low-light legibility, and each ships in a numbered box set backed by a 2-year international warranty.
StrapHabit Hook and Loop Single Pass Watch Strap
The StrapHabit Hook and Loop Single Pass Watch Strap uses a quick-change pass-through design built for fast on-wrist adjustments. Soft yet durable ribbed nylon is secured with a hook-and-loop closure, offering the low-profile feel of a NATO-style strap with the instant adjustability of hook-and-loop.
The nylon strap passes through brushed 304 stainless steel hardware finished with a subtly engraved StrapHabit logo. At 1.5mm thick and 10.5 inches unfolded, it’s available in a no-taper 20mm or 22mm width, keeping a consistent, modern profile from lug to buckle.
The hook-and-loop closure lets the strap fit wrists from about 5.75 to 8.25 inches, adjusting instantly without removing the watch. It’s designed to work with watches on traditional spring bars as well as fixed lug bar designs like the Tudor Pelagos FXD, making it one of the few pass-through straps compatible with fixed-bar cases.
MaxMadCo Design Gen 3 Titanium Bolt Action Pen
Limited to just 1,000 pieces, the MaxMadCo Design Bolt Action Pen – Gen 3 is a precision writing instrument born from legacy and reimagined for today. Originally conceptualized over 25 years ago, this design returns with full approval and collaboration from the original inventor — refined with updated materials and modern performance enhancements.
Crafted from Grade 5 Titanium, the Gen 3 pen is lightweight yet rugged, featuring a custom oversized bolt designed for ease of use, even while wearing gloves. The clip has been reinforced for maximum strength and reliability, while the signature TOPO pattern adds the final touch.
Inside, it comes loaded with a Schmidt 9000M refill, delivering smooth, German-made ink performance. Whether you’re jotting notes, sketching ideas, or rounding out your collection, this limited-edition pen is built to last — and to be used.
Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino
Arsenale Bizantino is born from the encounter between the decorative richness of Constantinople’s art and the essential purity of Venezianico’s design language. Byzantine geometric patterns, interlaced motifs, and a symbolic use of light shaped centuries of Venetian architecture — from the domes of St. Mark’s Basilica to the mosaics that illuminate its interiors — and that shared visual language is reinterpreted here through the sharp proportions of the case and bracelet.
The case is 40mm engraved 316L stainless steel, 44mm lug-to-lug, and just 9.95mm thick, including the crystal, with each engraving sculpted through a carefully controlled process that produces sharp, consistent reliefs across the case and bezel. The anthracite dial is brass enamel with a smoked sunburst finish, its fumé gradient deepening the contrast against the engraved surfaces, and BGW9 Super-LumiNova on the indexes keeps it legible after dark. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating sits above a screwed crown, while the caseback is engraved with a minimalist take on Justinian and Theodora, the Byzantine emperor and empress whose imagery has long echoed through Venetian art, and is fixed with six screws. The bracelet carries the same craftsmanship link by link, with geometric engravings that continue the case’s visual rhythm.
Power comes from the Miyota 9039, an automatic 3-hand movement with no date — a deliberate choice that keeps the dial uncluttered so the engraved case and sunburst finish stay the focus. Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM (50m), and the watch is backed by Venezianico’s 2-year international warranty.
