When Your Watch Becomes A Deserted Island Dilemma

November 23, 2021

If you're going to visit a mostly deserted and possibly treacherous tropical island C what watch would you want on your wrist? In this episode of HODINKEE Radio, I sat down with our own Cole Pennington to chat over his decision to take an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver to The Dry Tortugas, which includes a 19th-century-fort-turned-national-park near the Florida Keys. As you might assume, things didn't exactly go to plan.? After his island adventure, Cole also talks with me about his recent trip to Dallas for Breitling's launch of the Super AVI line. If you like vintage warplanes and burly mid-century themed chronographs, be sure to stay in the mix as Cole has a full download from the trip.?
