G-SHOCK GAE2100RC-1A

The Japanese brand has launched a special edition, the GAE2100RC-1A, inspired by the bold colors and shape of the Rubik's Cube. Both iconic products of the last century, the Rubik's Cube hit the markets in 1974, while Casio's first G-Shock was introduced in 1983. The robust watch comes with 200-meter water resistance, 1/100 sec stopwatch, world time function, five alarms and 3-year battery life. Retail is $150.

FORMEX FIELD AUTOMATIC

The new three-hand tool watch from Formex is available in six different dial color options that are inspired by vintage machinery: charcoal, petrol blue, ash grey, mahogany red, ultraviolet and sage green. The case, in titanium grade 2, measures 41 mm in diameter. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal and it is water-resistant to 150 meters. The movement is the Swiss automatic Sellita Caliber SW200-1. Retail starts at $795.
