The Grey NATO – 292 – Drafting Summer Watches (And A New UDT!)

After an impromptu and entirely delightful intro from two beloved TGN alums at the top of the show, the TGN boys decided it was time for a draft of summer watches. To mix up the format, James came up with five scenarios, each forming its own mini draft – so follow along as Jason and James pick summer watches for various use cases (both their own and for others). Before the draft, the boys also talk about Momentum’s launch of the hotly anticipated UDT Eclipse Solar, the latest model in the lineage of the cult classic Chronosport UDT.

Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that outlines a fantastic (and fantastically cheap) new watch strap and the perfect summer sun shirt from one of our favorite dive watch-related Instagram accounts.

What fortuitous timing! Only last week I finally got five certified wearing my ‘TGN Citizen’ aqualand jp2007. I bought it on your strong recommendation for free diving and loving it! I’ve got the bug now, signed up for a rescue course and a liveaboard in Raja Ampat! Thanks for the gentle push gents!!

I have the clear Casioak and love it but the clear case and strap have yellowed over time. I bought some adapters and put a nato on it. Wears great!
