New Watch roundup: Maen, AP, Norqain, Tudor & more - YouTube - This Watch, That Watch
The roundup showcases a variety of recent watch releases, highlighting each model’s specifications, positioning, and strengths or weaknesses. Omega’s Planet Ocean is presented as a luxurious “desk diver” with Yacht‑Master‑inspired flair, offering a great bracelet and dial but carrying a high price and some ergonomic issues. Tudor’s Ranger 36/39 “Dune” stands out as the best modern Ranger with a strong tool feel and legibility, though it faces stiff competition in the field‑watch segment. Zenith’s Defy Revival A3643 features a distinctive retro ladder‑bracelet and personality, delivering excellent wear and finish yet remaining very expensive with a weaker feature set. TAG Heuer’s Carrera Glassbox chronograph offers a retro‑cool alternative to Daytona‑style chronos, praised for its look despite a deployant clasp and lack of micro‑adjust. Norqain’s Adventure diver receives criticism for being overpriced and marketing‑heavy, while Audemars Piguet’s “Neo Frame” square jump‑hour concept is deemed derivative and odd. Rado’s Captain Cook 39 with a gradient dial provides a unique retro skin‑diver vibe and good value, albeit with minor size and date quirks. Maen’s Hudson MK5 is a dressier diver with a thin ceramic bezel, 5‑link bracelet, textured dial, and solid build, though it lacks novelty in a crowded market. The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their ownership experiences and thoughts on customer service for the featured watches, encouraging community interaction and feedback on the diverse lineup.
