Citizen Promaster Sky 30th Anniversary
Let’s go ahead and put the least expected watch on the list right after the most anticipated watch on the list. A bold yet necessary decision, I must say. In reality nobody expected the watch to be such a hit in the markets. In the end, it is the people thet decided the outcome and they seem to have decided. The Citizen Promaster Sky 30th Anniversary watch is the latest in the Japanese watchmaker’s Promaster line of timepieces.

IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Moon and Tide
IWC does this neat trick where it chooses one of its collections and introduces new timepieces in it. While 2019 was more or less about the Big Pilot’s series, 2020 is about the Portugieser collection. The IWC Portugieser is not only a flagship for the Swiss watchmaker, but it is also the pride of the Swiss watch industry.
The focus is on the much talked about and uber-luxurious Yacht Club sub-series of the Portugieser line-up. This turned out to be a great decision. Only a few watches in the markets offer what this one does. The Swiss watchmaker’s new Portugieser Yacht Club Moon and Tide, also happens to be the first watch to offer a unique mechanical tide indicator. Sounds exciting, right? The 44.5 mm rose gold timepiece also displays a moon phase, along with a spring and neap tide indicator and an in-house manufactured Calibre 82835.

The watchmaker has introduced some exciting limited editions this year and this is one of them. This intriguingly complicated watch brings a lot to of features to the table.

The watch was actually released in 2017 but this is the first time it has been introduced in the popular Honeygold alloy. Not only the case but the dial is also made up of the proprietary material. The dial, in fact, is so complicated that it needs five separate pieces to be complete.
The timepiece is home to five different complications, namely, a chronograph, a fuseÌe-and-chain transmission with a tourbillon, a rattrapante function, and last but not least, a perpetual calendar. No wonder it is so popular.
