My Watches Podcast

In this special concept episode, Woody and James will be sharing their quick thoughts about several key watches that they have missed in Sep 2026. 1) Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 70th Anniversary 2) Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dual Time × Vianney Halter 3) MING 57.05 Comet

The 2026 Tudor Northflag revives Tudor’s quirky integrated-bracelet tool watch with a more compact 40mm × 12.7mm stainless-steel case, 100m water resistance, sapphire crystals front and back, and a two-link bracelet with T-Fit adjustment.Its biggest change is the replacement of the original power-reserve indicator with a true/flyer GMT function, displayed via a yellow 24-hour hand and fixed 24-hour rehaut. Powering it is Tudor’s MT5652-U, a COSC- and METAS-certified automatic movement.

The M.A.D.3 is a 40mm stainless-steel watch created as a tribute to Vincent Calabrese’s Baladin concept, featuring a wandering jumping-hour display.It uses the Swiss-made La Joux-Perret G111 automatic movement combined with an extensively redeveloped MB&F module for the jumping hours and trailing minutes.The case measures 40mm × 12.7mm, with a 43.7mm lug-to-lug, sapphire crystals front and back, and 30m water resistance.

The 2026 Omega Speedmaster 38 is a major refresh of the smaller Speedmaster range, with a 38 mm stainless-steel case, approximately 14.75 mm thick, 44.96 mm lug-to-lug, and 100 m water resistance. The biggest design update is the move from oval to round subdials, along with a thicker Moonwatch-style tachymeter bezel featuring the iconic “Dot-Over-Ninety” detail and a cleaner dial layout. Six of the seven new references use the automatic Co-Axial Calibre 3330 with a date, while the black-dial, no-date model uses the Calibre 3332; both are paired with a new five-link Moonwatch-style bracelet. The collection ranges from classic steel-on-steel versions to two-tone and diamond-set models, with the black no-date reference being the closest in appearance to a traditional Moonwatch while retaining the more compact 38 mm proportions.

The Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” features the classic 42 mm stainless-steel Speedmaster case, with a blue ceramic bezel, silver-white dial, and blue subdials, along with 50 m water resistance. It is powered by the hand-wound Omega Calibre 3861 Co-Axial Master Chronometer.The standout feature is the caseback animation, where Snoopy appears inside a rotating Earth-and-Moon scene when the chronograph is activated, referencing NASA’s Silver Snoopy Award and the Speedmaster’s role in the Apollo 13 mission.
