As watch lovers, we spend our afternoons poring over watches both new and vintage. When a new timepiece comes across our radar, one that particularly resonates with our tastes, we can’t help but obsess over it. So, here’s a taste of that process — seven timepieces that our watch-loving staff are obsessing over right at this very moment.
Heuer Camaro Ref. 7220N
The Camaro enjoyed the shortest production run of all the models from the heyday of Heuer and was the only model to utilize the 37mm cushion case. With a unique look and perfect proportions, the Camaro presents tremendous value in the world of vintage chronographs. Doubly so when you consider the tropical (brown) dial and tough-as-nails Valjoux 72 movement. — Jacob Sotak, Gear Patrol Store Content Director
Heuer Autavia 3646 “Andretti”
Most of the watches that I’ve obsessed over in this series have been within my reach. My current obsession, though, is on the far reaches of attainability. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t swoon over the reverse panda dial, the perfect 39mm case size or the fact that the watch has some serious provenance (it’s named after Indy 500 winner Mario Andretti, who wore the model). Sure, I could snag a modern TAG Heuer Autavia for significantly less, but that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it? — AJ Powell, Assistant Editor
