Casio G-Shock Black and Bold Red Collection
For this collection, Casio reskins five classic G-Shock watches with a black-and-red colorway that isn’t just tough but looks it. The most novel of the bunch might be the GX-56 variant, as it now represents the only active GX-56 with a positive display. Prices range from $99 to $150.

BreguetBreguet Type XX Chronographe 2075BH
Breguet is one of the most respected names in watchmaking, but a century ago, the same family was a pioneering force in aviation. This new pilot’s chronograph celebrates the first Paris-to-New York City transatlantic flight in a Breguet 19 aircraft, flown in 1930. An engraving on the solid gold bridge of the manual watch movement depicts the aircraft and a map of the flight, visible through an exhibition case back.
TimexTimex 1971 Velocity Reissue
Timex’s 1971 Velocity reissue is back with a new dial color and bracelet. The blue and orange color scheme is more fun than the black and burgundy or previous reference, and the stainless steel five-link “jubilee” bracelet is dripping with 1970s swagger. This revamped reissue will be available on June 17th.
