Scottish Watches Podcast #742 : January Watch Releases and Chit Chat
The Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 742 features a discussion on various new watch releases for January 2026. The hosts kick off the episode by highlighting Seiko’s US-exclusive Prospex LX Spring Drive GMT, delving into its impressive titanium build and unique features such as the gradient dial inspired by the Cygnus constellation, and debating whether its price point of nearly USD 6,600 is justified. Other notable releases include Hublot's Big Bang Meca-10 Street Art editions, which boast hand-painted concrete cases, and a selection of Chinese New Year watches from brands like Swatch and Longines. The episode also introduces the Venezianico Nereide GMT Xi’an, a red mother-of-pearl GMT watch that pays homage to the historic Silk Road and is priced attractively at around USD 1,100. Additionally, Raymond Weil’s Toccata collaboration with seconde/seconde/ is covered, along with Mido’s Multifort Two Crowns in PVD rose gold. The hosts encourage listeners to engage with the podcast and explore the detailed show notes, complete with links and photos of the featured watches.
