The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 230: New Releases from Omega, "Extra" Watches, and More

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach take the mic to talk about, well, a little bit of everything. There’s a rundown of some of the biggest new releases of the last week or so, and then a deep dive into the latest drop from Omega (see the show notes for links to our coverage on those). And when we say “dive,” we mean it, because the big news was a new flagship dive watch line with a water resistance rating of a stunning 6,000 meters. That’s 20,000 feet! Almost four miles of water! Practical? That’s debatable. But it’s certainly a technological and engineering feat, and something definitely worth discussing. 

Then we turn to Zach’s recent opinion piece on why he likes his watches a little bit “extra,” which itself was a response to Blake’s piece on “basic” watches. What did we discover? Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot more overlap here than we thought, and room enough for everything. How does this all relate to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way” and The Batman? Tune in to find out, and let us know your thoughts on the basic vs. extra debate, your favorite Batman, or anything else you’d like us to know in the comments below.
