    Flat fours, more Olympic action, and a high-beat anniversary. We’ve put together a brief selection of six of the more esoteric and fun pre-owned watches to land on the site.

     

     

    The perlon strap is, arguably, one of the watch world’s best kept secrets, and one that, unsurprisingly, becomes better-known with each passing year. First developed in Germany in the mid-1950s, perlon is known for its unique cross-weave pattern and single pass construction. Often compared to a hybrid between a nylon-constructed NATO and a steel mesh Milanese, perlon features an uncommon style that is as aesthetically appealing as it is functionally useful.

     

     

    If you’re looking for a watch that combines accuracy and functionality, there might not be a better option than a GMT watch powered by one of Grand Seiko’s 9F quartz movements. And though the idea of strapping a quartz watch to your wrist might seem foreign at first, rest assured that these are not your average quartz movements. Each caliber in the 9F family is accurate up to an astounding plus or minus 10 seconds per year.

     

     

    Green is the color of the year. You know it, we know it, and Glashütte Original certainly knows it. Explore four new watches from the German company, three are green, and the last draws on a galvanized blue hue to underscore its hyper-complicated travel-time display.
