Welcome to the next Wind Up, our weekly series where we feature the latest watch releases of the past seven days. In this week’s instalment, we’ll be featuring new watches from Hublot, Panerai, Zenith and Chronoswiss. Enjoy gents!
New from Hublot is the Spirit of Big Bang Gold Crystal. Encased in black ceramic and paired with a black alligator strap stitched onto rubber, the new Spirit of Big Bang Gold Crystal continues on the collection’s thematic approach to tonneau-shaped watchmaking. Two models feature a gold and lacquered dial, where gold crystals are applied to a black dial and covered with a fine layer of transparent lacquer. The end result is an unbelievably suave and svelte end product.
Panerai continues its pursuit of contemporary design with its latest piece, the new Luminor Marina Carbotech Blu Notte PAM01664. It features a Carbotech case with a sun-brushed blue dial, a beautiful combination that seems to work hand in hand. Really liking what Panerai is doing these days.

The Chronomaster Original Ecommerce Edition reference is a celebration of the A386 El Primero, originally released in 1969, and pairs the latest El Primero 3600 movement with that amazing 1/10th of a second chronograph.

Chronoswiss SkelTec
To celebrate its partnership with the Italian World Cup Super G world champion and Olympic downhill medallist Christof Innerhofer, Chronoswiss has unveiled the openworked marvel that is the SkelTec. A lovely combination of openworking, finishing and of technical prowess, the new SkelTec’s crowning feature is that lovely integration of gold on the bezel, crown and hands. A beautiful piece through and through.
