There’s more to the Tissot
Seastar Sport’s jumbo dial
than a sporty silhoue e. When
you’re 1,000 feet underwater,
you may find the giant glowing
markings handy for keeping
track of your remaining dive
time. That said, it
does
have a
pre y sporty silhoue e.

If you’ve got a dad who has
wrists the size of John
Goodman’s, there’s only one
thing to do for Father’s Day:
Buy the man a bigger watch.
May we suggest U-Boat’s
limited-edition U-42? Its 47 mm
face is so big it’ll make your
thigh seem dainty.

Though it looks a lot like a
vintage pocket watch, Bell
& Ross’ WW1 (Wrist Watch 1)
Grande Date and Reserve de
Marche was actually inspired
by the very first wristwatches,
worn by pilots in the 1920s.
Never was the phrase “Time
flies” more appropriate.
