In case you want a recap on their earlier two “Surfer Trilogy,” Time+Tide began with a micro-blasted titanium Deft Traditional Skeleton “Evening Surfer” in 2021 and Defy Skyline Skeleton “Evening Surfer” El Primero in 2023. That signifies that the brand new “White Surfer” is the brightest and boldest of the bunch. White ceramic is actually a bit brighter than something “night time” themed, however it’s softened by the smooth blue shade throughout the remainder of the watch.
The “White Surfer” is powered by the El Primero 3620 SK computerized motion, seen by means of a show caseback. A high-beat, 36,000 VpH motion, the watch options hour and minute fingers, in addition to a high-frequency 1/Tenth-second subdial at 6 o’clock, spinning away at dizzying pace. On the again, you will discover a particular mild blue oscillating weight with a satin end. You will additionally discover the buttons for the quick-change strap system, which lets you swap to the included white rubber strap.

Summertime (a minimum of within the northern hemisphere) looks as if the right time for a white ceramic watch just like the “White Surfer.” The rising use of ceramic within the trade demonstrates the progress manufacturers have made in working with this difficult and unpredictable materials. Time+Tide has completed job of sustaining the design codes of the watches throughout a number of releases in numerous fashions and supplies. Nonetheless, whereas this could be the loudest model of their surfer trilogy, it additionally could be essentially the most enjoyable. I just like the icy blue dial, a shade that has grown on me regardless of initially resisting it after I first noticed a platinum Daytona; now, it looks as if the right shade to pair with a white case like this.
