| The Deep Track, Ep. 113 - New Gear/Old Gear Pick Ups, Inge 50th, Rolex Padellone | 24 sept. 2026 | 00:27:19 | |
This week I spotlight some new gear that I've picked up (which includes some very old gear) and talk about some gear that's stood the test of time. This is not meant to be a consumer-centric discussion, but rather a thoughtful look at what gets used over the long haul, and making a conscious effort to ultimately have fewer, nicer things. Additionally, I offer thoughts on the IWC Ingenieur 50th anniversary limited editions, and the new Rolex Perpetual Padellone. Show Notes: | |||

Even Tudor got in on the action with the release of a new Northflag, a watch we've been waiting and hoping to see return. There's also hands-on thoughts on the new Zenith Chronomaster Solo Sport and Fears Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar. Finally, I wade into the Christopher Ward drama and ponder the role of media in calling out brands publicly. Show Notes: Fears Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar | |||

Also discussed are new watches from Ming in the 57.05 Comet, a new Speedy Reduced, and the Straum Expedition. All in all, a pretty exciting week in the world of watches.

This week, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono 39 has finally arrived for a hands-on look, and while the full review is still in the works, I offer first impressions about all the small details that excite me about this watch. Okay, so the yellow still isn't hitting, but many of the other details are, and they open the door for a watch I've been asking for for a very, very long time. Also in this episode, a quick look at the Nikonos camera, and the Canon Sure Shot WP. Show Notes: | |||
| The Deep Track, Ep. 109 - Gear that Prioritizes Substance Over Style with Wesley Smith | 06 août 2026 | 00:57:01 | |
This week, Wesley Smith returns to the podcast to chat about summer travel, the gear we’re using, and how some of us have taken a step back from social media and why. This episode contains insights on the how and why of the content and products we produce, and what motivates each of us. The gear oftentimes isn’t as important as the doing. There are still a few hats left for purchase - huge thanks to everyone that has picked one up, please tag The Deep Track if you’re showing off your fit on social.

| The Deep Track, Ep. 108 - Film Photography, and Misunderstanding Nostalgia | 23 juil. 2026 | 00:29:56 | |
This week’s episode is a solo discussion about why we find nostalgia so compelling, and why that might ultimately be holding us back. Sometimes, capturing the look of the past doesn’t quite cut it, and taking the time to find period-correct pieces can reveal the full intent and experience. Film cameras offer a nice analogy for this discussion. Show Notes: Longines Hydroconquest Review by Devin Pennypacker Watches of Espionage - Heart of the Beast | |||
| The Deep Track, Ep. 107 - Watches Built for Space Exploration with Barrelhand's Karel Bachand | 09 juil. 2026 | 01:03:15 | |
This week, Karel Bachand of Barrelhand joins the podcast to discuss all things space watches, and the brand’s Monolith, a modern take on the genre. We tackle the history of developing watches for space, and the challenges that come with it, as well as how that history was wielded in the development of the Monolith. Additionally, we ponder the modern identity of the tool watch, and why concerted efforts in this space are few and far between these days. The Monolith represents a new frontier in many ways, and one that may not yet be fully understood (we barely scratch the surface in this episode), let alone appreciated. Show Notes: Barrelhand Monolith Introduction on Hodinkee Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey | |||
| The Deep Track, Ep. 106 - Analog Lifestyle and Hot Takes from Reddit | 02 juil. 2026 | 00:32:52 | |
Reddit is full of hot takes, and while most will elicit a dangerously deep eye roll, some of them hide some nuggets of wisdom, and it is here that we explore in this week's episode. Also discussed is a shift back to analog photography, and how that influences an appreciation for mechanical watches. But first, a look back at the Autodromo Group B Chronograph.

Sometimes, you let a watch go, and you quickly realize you may come to regret the decision. In this episode, four watches are highlighted that fall into that category. Let's not call it regret, but these are certainly watches that linger for one reason or another. Additionally, new watches from Grand Seiko are explored, and hands-on impressions of new Parmigiani watches are offered. Show Notes: Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Watches | |||

The review of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Seafarer, and its tide indication sub dial inspired us to think about some other outside-of-the-box complications and features, from the often discussed HEV, to more obscure ideas, like a hand-cranking Seiko, or a Sicura with a pocket knife hiding in the case.

A recent review of the Zenith Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar Lapis Lazuli has me thinking about the bigger picture with Zenith, and it also reminds me a bit of another famous reference from Rolex, the 6236 Dato Compax, aka the Jean-Claude Killy, which is rather timely given the winter games currently taking place.

This week, we welcome Erika, aka Watch Miss GMT to the podcast to chat about watches, cars, and news from the industry. We also talk about what makes a watch comfortable beyond just a set of measurements, and how we like to put our watches to use. This episode was recorded in Brooklyn Podcast Studios, and features a video component that will be live on YouTube, so you can see some of the watches we discuss, including Erika’s watch ring, as we chat. Finally, we make a few predictions about what we’d like to see released in the back half of the year.
