Ep. 157: October Recap - A New Speedy with a Hidden Talent, the "Captain Willard" Gets Reviewed, and the Debate over Screw-Down Pushers

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Ed Jelley, and Zach Kazan take a moment to look back at the month of October. With the year coming to a close, we’re still seeing a steady stream of new watch releases, and there were cool new watches introduced by brands both large and small over the course of the last month. In this episode, the team talks through some of their favorites, and they revisit some of the great hands-on reviews from the last month, including new watches from Baltic, Nomos, and Seiko. Be sure to hit up the comments with your favorite new watches from October, and let us know what you’re looking forward to in November.

This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by Bulova and their new Precisionist X collection. Bulova celebrates the Precisionist technology and reinvents the Precisionist aesthetic with a revolutionary new design, exemplifying the ethos of Bulova with statement-making case shapes, dial designs and materials, while keeping precise timing up to 1/1000th of a second for unparalleled timekeeping in an analog timepiece.

Marking 10 years of technology and design innovation, Precisionist X is a new take on the classic Precisionist. Bulova first unveils the Precisionist X Limited Edition watch featured in stainless steel with an 18k yellow gold top ring insert. Limited to 100 pieces, the watch is presented in an elegant box with numbered serial card and plaque. Alongside that are two new Precisionist X Special Edition timepieces featuring top ring inserts made of Damascus steel, a famed type of steel recognizable by the wavy light and dark pattern of the metal and are available in either a black IP case with a green leather strap or a rose gold IP case with a brown leather strap. All models feature a distinct and unexpected octagonal 45x47mm case shape with unique dial treatments offering a multi-dimensional effect, finished with a curved sapphire crystal and with water resistance to 50M.
