2025 wasted no time in gifting us with plenty of exciting new watches, and for our first pod of the new year, the boys are tapping in with the Oris Diver 65 60th Anniversary Edition, a lovely tribute edition to an Oris original (the brand's 'little hero,' in CEO Rolf Studer's own words), and the not-so-distant-cousin of a Topper Edition we ourselves did, some 9 years ago.

The boys also share a few predictions, along with their own release hopes and dreams for 2025 – with lots to unpack here, so settle in, and get a pen handy as their recommended "By the Way" watchlists are getting longer by the day.

As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at [email protected]. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!
