Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast – Episode 373 !

RedBar is back at full swing here in Scotland as are watch releases around the globe. We discuss new watches from Ball with dial colors that everyone else seems to be going for but featuring their distinctive tritium gas lume, a G-Shock that will be divisive in pricing though you need to see it in person before judging, a historically significant Squale gets renewed, and Nomos gives a new face to its dive watch family.
