There's always plenty of excitement in the boutique when we have new watches on the way!

We asked the team which upcoming release they're most looking forward to, and the Formex AirField Automatic was one they're particularly excited about.

We love getting the chance to see new releases in person, explore the details and get a feel for how they wear on the wrist. With a 40mm titanium case, four dial options and a 65-hour power reserve, there's plenty to look forward to with this one.
