As far as predictions go, or rather wishful thinking, THIS is what I hope we get for summer 2023
Big thanks to C dawg for helping me visualise my wet dream of the perfect summer diver!!
Watches and Wonders is great, I particularly like chatting with Jim about it for the blog and pretending I know there are other watch brands out there...
Last year it was the yellow and black Porsche Carrera, the orange dial Aquaracer, the Superdiver, the Plasma Carrera, the Gulf Monaco and the Solargraph.
Presumably it will be the skeleton Monaco this year, and some other Monacos. Six or seven new Monacos are due in 2023. Crazy.
Interesting effort by Tudor for W&W in downtown GVA (I’ll certainly swing by):

What are the 39mm Carreras?
New product intro. Kind of like the 42mm Carrera Elegant, but in 39mm size and with a domed crystal. Should be a nice mix of modern and retro Carrera vibes.
Is that alongside the 42mm Elegant’s?
Yes the 42mm remains. In addition, the 39mm joins the family as a new standard product range. Unlike the heritage Heuer 39mm glassbox Carreras, which were all LEs.
Apparently we are back to 6 Monacos this year now, turns out the silver/blue is the same as the white/blue. Well, as far as we can tell.
