Omega Speedmaster X‑33 Regatta

Christopher Ward built the C65 Dune Aeolian Bronze around a material that behaves like the sea behaves: unpredictably, over time. The bronze case develops a patina unique to each owner's skin chemistry and environment. Sand dial, bronze indices, leather strap — a watch that becomes more itself the longer it's worn. SH21 automatic movement, 42-hour power reserve, 38mm. British design, Swiss engineering, at a price point that makes everyone else in the category look at their margins.
