The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 340: New Watches from Seiko and Omega, and Our Favorites Under $1,000

This week on the podcast, Zach and Kat are joined by Ed Jelley to chat about two of the biggest watch releases of the year so far: new divers from Seiko and a brand new white dialed Speedmaster Professional from Omega. These new watches generated a lot of buzz when they were unveiled within days of each other recently, and with Ed owning both a Speedy Pro and a prior version of the Seiko 62MAS influenced diver unveiled recently, we knew we had to get his take on both. 

Later, Zach, Kat, and Ed discuss their favorite watches under $1,000, inspired by a recent feature on the website. As Ed points out, this is a great time to have $1,000 to spend on a watch, with an unending variety of styles to choose from. The group talks through some of their favorites from Brew, Hamilton, Lorier, Doxa, and more.
