New releases from Breitling, Richard Mille, Tissot and more

Pietro Pilla

Brands are going all out this July with warm-weather watches, really embodying what a Mediterranean summer should look like – not just warm, soft hues with takes on rose gold cases, but also bolder colour choices with bright accents on darker colours. So many nominees for the watch of the summer, but we still think our collaboration with Zenith may have an edge. This week’s selection is not for the faint of heart, though, with each model having plenty of personality in its own way. Discover all our picks below and enjoy the reading!
