Today we review two new releases for 2024 that collectively, along with a special cameo wristwatch check that's also a new release for this year, reveal to us what's shaping up to be the next big trend in watch design. First up to bat is a tough, super capable, ocean-going GMT diver from the inventor of the Swiss sports watch as we know it, and the most underrated brand the country has to offer—aptly named the Alpina Seastrong Extreme GMT in 39mm. Secondly, we have a wonderfully refined update of an even more modest and compact Seiko Samurai professional diver—the Seiko Mini Samurai ref. SRPL15—as well as a new 70s inspired automatic chronograph based on a long lost prototype—the Chronosport from Nivada Grenchen. Join me for an in-depth review of the Alpina Seastrong Extreme and the Seiko Mini Samurai, including all the positives and negatives of each, and how they are both part of a new trend that is going to take over in the next few years and become the dominant style, alongside a continuing move towards smaller watches. What do you think about the watches in this video? Are they a hit or a miss? And what do you think will be the next hot trend? Please share in the comments!
