I think while the vintage trend remains strong and on the face of it he sounds like Captain Obvious, the change is that the '70s style is really starting to reach a stride and we'll see more of that rather than the classic 60s looks. More two-tones, more cushion cases.
This new Tissot PR516 chrono automatic checks a lot of boxes for me.
But I think I'd rather hunt down a vintage original 3 hander, as worn briefly by Roger Moore in Live & Let Die (1973).
Wait, what... that's the same watch? O....kay. Just with the Rolex bezel instead of the Omega one.
Hahahahahahaha
