The Deep Track, Ep. 74 - Finding Style with Justin Hast
Send us a textThis week I’m thrilled to welcome Justin Hast to the podcast. Justin is a prolific content creator and something of a style influencer with a wonderfully refined, if chaotic approach to watches. Justin is the co-host and co-founder of The Enthusiasts along with friend Stephen Pulvirent. In this episode, we talk about Justin's history in watches, his evolving tastes, and the future of independent watchmaking. He also fills us in on the many projects being juggled at the moment, from the Watch Annual, to future books on the horizon. Justin brings a wonderful attitude to the hobby, and he’s well worth a follow.

The Deep Track, Ep. 71 - The Future of the FXD, Omega Goes Orange, & More with Justin Couture
Send us a textThis week, Justin Couture, aka The Wristorian returns to the podcast to discuss new dive watch releases, and to ponder the future of Tudor divers. In this episode, we discuss the FXD GMT, and take a broader view of how the FXD collection as a whole moved forward from here. Additionally, we look at the new Seamaster 300M with orange accents and ponder what other directions Omega could go with their classic diver. Does it really still need a helium release valve? Finally, Doxa pays tribute to Clive Cussler on what would have been his 94th birthday with a new SUB 750T, and it might be the best Cussler LE from the brand yet.
