By HODINKEE Shop

And we’re back! This week we have a very diverse selection of watches, ranging from super thin dress watches with sharp hands, to bold chronographs with lots of color and unusual geometry, with brands like Omega, Rolex, and Longines represented. Read on to see the full selection.

A 1982 Rolex GMT-Master Reference 16753

Two-tone isn’t for everyone, but it is hard to resist this Rolex GMT-Master with nipple dial. This reference 16573 belongs to the third generation of GMTs launched in the 1980s. This two-tone beaut offers a quick set date and complementary Oyster bracelet. To read full listing, click here.

A 1970s Omega ‘Bullhead’ Chronograph, With Papers

This Omega “Bullhead” chronograph not only has an unusual case shape but also a special color combination on the dial. The other awesome thing about this watch is the location of the crowns and pushers, which sit on the top and bottom of the case (and which are responsible for the “Bullhead” name).

A 1960s Wittnauer Professional World-Time Chronograph

This Wittnauer Professional has lots of cool features, including a chronograph function, 24-hour indication, and rotating bezel with world time indication. Is this the ultimate travel/tool watch? Maybe. Full listing here.
