Our favorite watches for summer 2022!

Amsterdam is heating up fast which can only mean one thing - summer is here! In this article you'll find a couple of our favorite watches for summer 2022, from brands such as NOMOS, Zenith, Omega, Longines, Breitling and more. At the time of publishing, all watches are either in stock or available within 1-2 weeks. But first a moment of contemplation: what is it that makes a watch fit for summer? It's a question we've often asked ourselves, and yet we still do not have a clear cut answer. A watch for summer must be fun, casual and cheerful. It must be up to a day at the beach, a hot summer night filled with friends and cocktails, a day of travel to destinations unknown - and not look out of place in any of these situations. Last but not least, in today's market another prime consideration is that the watch must be actually available before summer ends... But enough. Let's get to the list!

NOMOS Ahoi Atlantic Neomatik

The NOMOS Ahoi Neomatik was recently overhauled for summer 2022, with a refreshed color palette that makes it stand out just a bit more. Whilst looking much like a standard Tangente, this watch is water resistant up to 200 meters. Find out more
