This is always my favorite Hodinkee video of the year! It’s so cool to see the variety of types and price points of watches that Hodinkee staff are wearing. This year for me, it was my DateJust 126200, which my wife gifted me for our 15th anniversary this February.
The watch I wore most was my JLC reverso medium. Bought it at the end of 2020 when my daughter was born. Engraved with her name and DOB. Worn it pretty much ever since. Still get goosebumps when I flip the case to see her name 😀 Love this hodinkee segment and hearing all about other people and their watches.
Loved seeing the Longines 5-star admiral on the list because it was my most worn watch of this year as well(mine is the ufo/lug-less case)! Found it in my grandfather's model-airplane toolbox, and it began ticking right away on my wrist. I didn't want to take it off, and it really has started my love of vintage watches.
My most worn watch this year was my casioak black rubber, its kind of my lucky charm as i managed to write a pretty good maths score. Got exams coming up next year so please wish me luck fellas.
Months ahead of schedule for me, but recently got a longines spirit chronograph back in April of 2022. Bowled my first 300 game in it and I know it's going to be my most worn watch from when I got it to the end of 2022 and beyond.
I really like these year in reviews. Very interesting to see some of the vintage watches that you guys love. Not a lot of obvious choices, that was interesting too.
“..sweatpants and tank, it’s the new norm” 😀 The best observation came at the end of the year. 👍🏼 I agree with it literally, and if you love the watch you should just wear it. Thanks for a great year in watches, and HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! Wish you all a great celebration as midnight strikes around the world 🥳
EXCELLENT video! We love the variety- Mido, Weiss, Speedy, IWC, Blancpain, etc...such a great site for all things horology! The watch I wore the most in 2021 was a GMT Master II (Coke) I think 2022 will be a Cartier Must tank XL automatic. Yep.
Seiko SPB143 all day followed by the Tank. I'm comfortable wearing my Seiko in just about any situation. Love the tank but I'm not wearing it while I'm camping or doing yard work.
Great video, I really enjoyed watching. Although I have more expensive watches, I still wear the most my first automatic watch, the Seiko 5 SNK80? with the sand dial on different nato straps.
My most worn watch in 2021 was my skx009 on the jubilee. Just replaced the click spring and that bezel is like butter. Blue and red is a strong vibe... Maybe I need a GMT?
The watch I wore most this year is my Seiko Turtle SRPE93K1. It’s really comfortable on wrist because it wears smaller and thinner than what the specs tells you on paper and its just a bulletproof watch.
Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211 bought in December 2020, even better with the Jean-Rousseau strap acquired shortly after. Still thinking of the next one(s).
The watch I've worn most this year was a unbranded, completely translucent watch that is so light that it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing one(and it doesn't really show the time soo... not so practical, eh) Got myself an Casioak not too long ago and looking forward to wear it next year.
I wore my 1954/55 Longines tank with a 9L movement almost exclusively. I have quite a few watches but for some reason it always seemed the right one every time.
My most worn watch this past year has been my Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barhyscaphe Ceramic Blue Dial! 😍 It is light, doesn’t scratch, beautiful accurate movement, amazing blue dial!
Love my 124270. Rolex put so much thought into the design of this model. 36mm is the classic, gentleman size. Wears fantastic, truly the most discreet of the Rolex sport models. The 19 to 14 taper is very cool , a bit vintage and everything allows the watch to disappear on the wrist if you need to wear under a cuff. The enhancement to the dial give the watch so much more pop over the previous 36 model. It’s not a watch everyone will appreciate, but the discerning will own a very special piece.
@@jjmot27 yeah , it's extremely versatile and with the navichron hairspring i can lay it down friday before the weekend and itll still be running on Monday morning. Stays within cosc over the whole powercurve.
The watch I've worn the most is my Rolex Hulk that required the I sale of a 5513 Maxi Lollipop in 2016 and I have never looked back. That and my GS Snowflake that I purchased for my 50th ran a close second to the Hulk.
Hodinkee has morphed or evolved out of all recognition, in the past couple of years: Crown & Caliber pre-owned business and Insurance. Hardly any of the original writers from a couple of years ago remain. I suspect, as I know one person here wears a Batman Rolex GMT 126710BLNR most of the time and has said it’s his ‘daily driver,’ that there is a bit of a Grand Seiko and also Seiko product placement going on. Like the recent ‘story’ Danny Milton did, ‘advising’ his friend who was peculiarly impecunious, despite having a well paid job, to get, a Seiko, at the same time they were being pushed by Teddy Balldessere on his channel. Ben has cashed his chips in from Hodinkee and moved on from New York and looks like a well dressed guru.
what would you recommend to someone who isnt sure whether theyd actually enjoy a mechanical/automatic watch? obviously it would be something under $1k, as there is the possibility they wont enjoy it. And what is wrong with Seiko? There are people who clearly enjoy them over whatever it is you enjoy.
@@thefallen924 I love Seiko too. Have a bunch. I also have Speedmasters, Rolex, etc. But you can’t beat an 80s turtle. As to Hodinkee changing? Yeah. All companies that grow change. And Ben has looked the same forever. Saw a little grey around the temples. But otherwise his “sweater-wear” appeared about the same to me.
@@Judah.Rosenthal agreed! first automatic i got myself was a seiko 5. have a great friend that gifted me an oris, and just a couple of weeks ago i got myself the speedmaster moonwatch. It's easy to see the jumps in quality at the different price points. I love the artistry and engineering that goes into different brands. I hope to be able to get a Rolex one day without paying a ridiculous inflated scalper price. at the same time, i find it more interesting when someone daily drives a grand seiko over a Batman GMT.
‘Sweatpants and tanks’
Smooth man, real smooth.
That vintage Longines that’s been passed from pillar to post within the family… love that!
My Longines Avigation Big Eye black dial I acquired earlier this year.
The vintage Cartier Tank is especially gorgeous . Love seeing the variety of watches and hearing the stories behind them.
Cartier Tank or Santos is next on my list
I love how Ben Clymer came full circle, and transcended the watch journey; back to the one that started it all. He appears to have reached nirvana.

My Seiko SKX007 on a nato strap was my most worn this year. Love that watch.
@@jeeperscreepers7 you blown in from stupid town?
@@davidsevyan reported
I've had one since the 1980's...love it. Great watch!
@@scottfulps2065 wasn't the SKX introduced in 96?
@@IcarusSuite You are 100% right. I wore a 7002. I also had an SKX007J but that was purchased in the late 1990’s. Great catch- thanks!
Sweet! I was so looking forward to this ‘end of year’ episode again. It’s one of my favorite themes from Hodinkee.
so glad you guys brought this back this year! was hoping you would

Love this segment, this is always my favorite “year in review” from the watch channels I follow.
James and his SPB143 - such a wholesome pairing 🥰🔥
My most worn watch this year was my casioak black rubber, its kind of my lucky charm as i managed to write a pretty good maths score. Got exams coming up next year so please wish me luck fellas.
the fake log fire in the fireplace gave me a good laugh (10:16)
Like the Speedy that started Hodinkee the most. I've worn an Aquis or Willard the most. Happy New Year everyone 🥳🍻
I wore my Omega X-33 second generation the most. It was followed by my Seamaster 300M. I’m feeling like 2022 is going to be a Moonwatch kind of year
I had to rewind Danis’s reel a couple of times, but what a fun history, and love the amount of vintage timepieces appearing in this video
Nice to end on the Seiko SPB143. That's become my grail watch which I hope to own myself one day.
That rose gold tank on the strap was the MVP... So jealous, was not expecting that...
Every single watch was fabulous! Especially jealous of that 1016 and the martini! 😜
Great that there is such a wide selection of brands and models amongst you all. Proves how subjective the whole hobby is.
Months ahead of schedule for me, but recently got a longines spirit chronograph back in April of 2022. Bowled my first 300 game in it and I know it's going to be my most worn watch from when I got it to the end of 2022 and beyond.
My most worn watch this year was, same as James, Seiko SPB143. I got it early this year after reading his review on it and I’ve loved it ever since.
I'm loving a few of these more obscure timepieces, thanks for sharing guys.
The blancpain is so underrated, so great, wear it all in great health yall
What a sweet video! Nice job Hodinkee family, you guys really do enjoy watches, from the heart. Wishing you all my best in the New Year!
I really like these year in reviews. Very interesting to see some of the vintage watches that you guys love. Not a lot of obvious choices, that was interesting too.
Love videos like this. Great to see everyone’s tastes in watches
My most worn watch this year, Tudor Black Bay GMT, really happy with it. Happy New Year everyone.
My grail watch 🙌
Great watch
Ben leaving NYC was the best thing you did. My family and I did the same.
Feels like only yesterday I watched the video of 2020, time really flies.
My orient mako 2 on a military green nato strap was my most worn of the year and also my very first watch. I enjoy it very much.
My favorite end of year video series!
Mark Jackson's G-shock is stunning. Effortlessly cool, can't beat a good Casio.
Thanks for sharing guys and happy new year! Mine was the Seiko Sarb033, hoping I'll get the explorer soon. Cheers!
My 2021 acquisition was the Seiko SPB213 that is now being worn on my new TGN Grey NATO strap! Love it!
My vintage Omega 14701 is my most worn watch 2021. Nice video!
“..sweatpants and tank, it’s the new norm” 😀 The best observation came at the end of the year. 👍🏼 I agree with it literally, and if you love the watch you should just wear it.

Happy New Year Hodinkeeeeee! Thanks for all the great vids and looking forward to many more. 👍🏼😎
Yes! How great to see Gary appear. It’s bucket list to have a Negroni with that dude one day.
Very nice video - love the 1016! Happy New Year to all!
Seiko well represented.
Good to see the young guys getting into vintage sized Cartier.
Love the stories that go with these. My Sinn 556i has been on my wrist the most, and I think it’s truly a great GADA piece.
Same

Casio Duro is my go to choice for everyday!
Seiko SPB143 all day followed by the Tank. I'm comfortable wearing my Seiko in just about any situation. Love the tank but I'm not wearing it while I'm camping or doing yard work.
That Longines Admiral is a stunner
My Panerai PAM510 saw the most days.

Love Vintage Mido! Wearing now also my Omega Speedmaster Mark 40. I got it now since 12 years and was my entry in nice watches.
Nice video. The one I wore the most was my Omega Planet Ocean gifted to me by my wife.
1:09 what a Brilliant insight into how knowledge changes taste.
The watch I wore most this year is my Seiko Turtle SRPE93K1. It’s really comfortable on wrist because it wears smaller and thinner than what the specs tells you on paper and its just a bulletproof watch.
Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211 bought in December 2020, even better with the Jean-Rousseau strap acquired shortly after.
Still thinking of the next one(s).
I love my Speedy ( Black Omega Nato Strap ) and my Oris Big Crown Pointer Date :))
The fire pillow was the coolest thing. Great one James ;)
Man, I just love Gary
Going to buy a Cartier Tank for my mates wedding next year as I’m best man, that should give it some stories to start off with ha
I really didn’t think Max would pick a MB&F. Kind of a cop-out.
I absolutely felt that cartier tank at the end ^^
Happy new year to you and the watch I wear the most in 2021 was my black seamaster diver 300m from 2019.
all fire time pieces!
Seiko Sarb033 - all time classic
Agreed. I’m trying to keep mine from getting beat up so it’s a weekend watch for me now.
Mine would be the seiko skx013...killer watch last year😬
I have so many in my collection that it’s hard to pick one as my “favorite” daily wear.
love this feature
cheers Gary!
That pink gold Tank that David had on....dope watch!!!
The watch I've worn most this year was a unbranded, completely translucent watch that is so light that it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing one(and it doesn't really show the time soo... not so practical, eh)
Got myself an Casioak not too long ago and looking forward to wear it next year.
I wore my Speedmaster MK40 most of the year--exact same as Clymer's!
"Sweat pants and tanks." Love it.
I wore my 1954/55 Longines tank with a 9L movement almost exclusively. I have quite a few watches but for some reason it always seemed the right one every time.
My most worn watch this past year has been my Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barhyscaphe Ceramic Blue Dial! 😍
It is light, doesn’t scratch, beautiful accurate movement, amazing blue dial!
Orient Kamasu on a Miltat 'Beads of Rice' bracelet. Kind of has a Rado Captain Cook feel to it lol
Purely because I wear it in work, my G-Shock ga2100 in all black. Just goes with my all black uniform too well
Love the Omega Speedmaster for Christmas one...because the exact same thing happened to me :)
SPB143!!! Love it
New Seiko 5 sports loved having this watch, thinking to put it on a nato strap
That tank LC just has my heart.
so 100% agree with Nora. buying the last watch without the baggage / knowledge of the industry. such a good idea
That tank in rose is slick!
Great video .

i love all of the interesting stories. but i must say that cartier tank looks fantasttic!
Hamilton khaki field automatic in 38mm with the black dial. Been my daily all through 2021
That's a pretty perfect daily watch!
@@jjmot27 yeah , it's extremely versatile and with the navichron hairspring i can lay it down friday before the weekend and itll still be running on Monday morning. Stays within cosc over the whole powercurve.
My most worn, omega Seamaster 36mm on nato. It’s a work horse, built like a tank.
That tank was a beauty
Seiko SBDC 127 ...the bezel is jammed up ...darn Seiko QC but i love the look!
Really love the Mido. It's not flashy but it really is perfect!
9:15 - love the Tank! 😍
The watch I've worn the most is my Rolex Hulk that required the I sale of a 5513 Maxi Lollipop in 2016 and I have never looked back. That and my GS Snowflake that I purchased for my 50th ran a close second to the Hulk.
I'm going with my Sinn 556 IB, its my simple daily beater. Not flashy, but those who know appreciate it
Nice Patagonia vests Russell and Jon

This year is surely an Explorer year!
My most worn watch is my Grand Seiko snowflake ❄️
Max Busser is the GOAT! That Perpetual Evo is my grail watch, if only I could afford one 😂
My most warn watch was my Hamilton Khaki Pilot flight timer, but it was almost caught by a watch I bought in October which is the Tudor GMT.
Jack and I wore the same watch most. 1803. Just a god damn perfect watch.
