The Worn & Wound Podcast

On this week's episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, Ilya and Allen talk about Allen's second SCUBA trip, this time exploring the beautiful waters off Bermuda. For this adventure, Allen had with him two sea-ready icons: the Doxa SUB300 Sharkhunter and Seiko SKX007. If you've ever considered SCUBA diving but have yet to take the plunge, today's episode will give you just the kick you need. This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by Oris and their Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition. Since 1904, Oris has been a leading independent Swiss watchmaker, focused exclusively on producing mechanical timepieces that offer a significant value. Oris released their first Big Crown Pilot Watch in 1938 with the aim to create a beautiful, high-quality, reasonably priced timepiece that would be reliable and easy to use. Oris released their first Big Crown Pilot Watch in 1938 with the aim of creating a beautiful, high-quality, and reasonably priced timepiece that would be reliable and easy to use. Oris continues this tradition with the Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition. The watch features a bronze case that will patinate naturally as it oxidizes so that each watch will take on a unique finish over time. The deep green of the dial also has a natural feel, complementing the bronze case.

On this week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, Zach and Ilya sit down with Chris Boudreaux and Danny Recordon of VERO Watches. Longtime readers of Worn & Wound will be familiar with VERO. We first wrote about the Portland-based brand in 2016 back when they only had one watch and very little recognition. But even in those early days, VERO showed great promise, and the the team’s ambition was palpable. They’ve since grown their team, expanded their product line, and have brought even more of their manufacturing in-house. And they’re nowhere near done. This week’s episode is brought to you by The Windup Watch Shop. Show Notes RSVP here to attend a live recording of The Worn & Wound Podcast on October 31, 2018, at New York City's Chelsea Market.
