Felix and Andy pick 5 of the best 2021 releases under $5k - plus Watch Matchmaker is back!

OT: The Podcast

In a shocking twist of events, today’s guest is … nobody! Instead, Andy and Felix roll out some good old-fashioned Watch Making for Robert, who’s in the market for a well-priced, heirloom grade watch. Robert will also go down in history for penning Andy and Felix’s couple name.

On top of that, it’s halfway through the year, so the perfect time for a quick listicle of the best new watches clocking in at under $5000 USD. Or — depending on who you are, slightly over. What even are budgets? So, if you’re up for an episode of solid watch chat, this is the one for you.

This episode is brought to you by NOMOS Glashütte. Listen in as Felix and Andy chat about the bright new Club Campus releases. Learn about them here.

Watch Matchmaker for Robert

OG listener to the podcast and love your work. I’m in a pickle. I love watches and love my wife, but buying heaps of watches isn’t something I can afford, unfortunately. I have my sights set on buying a blue omega SMP 300 as my exit watch (well at least for a long while). I know a Rolex is unrealistic, especially at RRP. So is there anything else you guys recommend? At some stage, once I produce miniature Roberts, I will pass them on. I work in a dental clinic, and I usually wear an Apple Watch as I do CrossFit and triathlons for fun. My budget is max 9k, and I’m open to anything (diver, Chrono etc), but it needs to be something I can wear to work, weekends and ideally something slight dressy (it doesn’t have to be a dress watch).
