See Tim's Next Watch - Life After My Grail Watch

Video Description

Tim Mosso buys watches after a great deal of cross-shopping and thought. After a summer in which Tim added his grail watch - the De Bethune DBD - it's time to consider whether there's life after your grail watch. The Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, and several versions of the Zenith El Primero are on this shopping list. The Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon was redesigned for 2025, but it has been on Tim's shopping list almost from the moment it debuted in 2014. With a 44.25mm grey ceramic case and a platinum dial, the Grey Side boasts nuance and sophistication not share with the other ceramic Speedmasters. Whether the original automatic winding chronograph or the 2025 Grey Side with its manual Moonwatch caliber, all versions of Omega's grey ceramic Moonwatch are winners. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is as iconic as the Omega Speedmaster Professional, but dive watches appeal more to Tim than pilot's watches. But not any Blancpain dive watch will do. The Fifty Fathoms 5015 is a favorite of Tim's but he doubts his ability to wear a 45mm diver even if it is a sports watch. Then there's the new Fifty Fathoms 5010 with its 42.3mm case. That's better, but the 5010's standard titanium and rose gold variants aren't as gripping as the 2023 Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Series I. With its stainless steel case, unique dial, and solid blocks of Super LumiNova, the 70-piece limited edition Fifty Fathoms is the one most likely to win a space in Tim Mosso's watch collection. Finally, there's the Zenith El Primero. But the El Primero is a family of chronograph movements, not a watch, and a vessel is required to wear the legendary high-beat caliber. The 2013 Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar Boutique Edition is exactly what Tim wants. A dream watch without the dream watch price, this particular Captain Winsor is a Zenith El Primero with an annual calendar mechanism designed by Ludwig Oechslin and a smoked palladium dial only available through Zenith factory boutiques. Tim's journey towards choosing his next watch is exactly like the voyage of discovery and new perspectives that every watch collector experiences when choosing his next watch. Moreover, it's proof that watch collecting continues even after the grail watch has been attained.
