Don't know why I haven't seen the new Newmark 52 before today. Have I missed something?
https://newmarkwatchcompany.com/newmark52field/
Looks a lot of watch for the money and if it's anything like their other offerings should be solid quality.
I'm tempted, any owners here?

I haven’t seen these either for some reason and would also be interested in any owner’s comments.
I think it’s only just been released (as in within the last few days).
If I was after a quartz at the moment I’d be all over this - it looks gorgeous.

Really appealing and went on sale Friday 6pm. I haven’t bought one but seriously considering it! Seems a great size and design for the price and the movement is a very interesting choice which no doubt keeps the price affordable vs a manual wind.
No price or any other details...
What's the beef?
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Just click on the pictures to see the price and more details. £195.Originally Posted by abraxas
Looks sharp, I like it. Is that case shape with the heavily recessed crown based on a vintage design?

Is it not similar to a lot of military watches that have the crown protected by the case shape such as the CWC chronograph?
I am wearing my 6BB today
It is noticeable but accurate to the original watch. It actually makes using the crown easier in comparison to the CWC, Hamilton, etc.
Ordered Thursday evening, on my wrist Saturday.
Another Newmark classic from Ewan
Those photos really show off the blued hands. I’m getting more and more tempted by one of these. Would look good on a blue Perlon I reckon.Ordered Thursday evening, on my wrist Saturday.

In terms of VFM it makes so much sense to buy one of each of Ewan's creations. To go with my 6BB I'd buy the cream dial 6BB, gilt dial 52, blue dial ND 71 and a Panda. What a lovely collection that would be.
Very nice, especially with the blue hands. Are the outline of the Arabic numerals blue or black?Ordered Thursday evening, on my wrist Saturday.

I am very tempted by the Ivory, and I really shouldn't because I have already spent £2500 this week on another watch. The Newmark is a bargain in comparison, and I only live down the road. It would be nice to support a local business for a change. Can I think of any more reasons to convince myself?
Nice looking, but a 2 year battery life is off putting for me. Realise it's something of a trade off for the simulated mechanical sweep, but that's not important to me.
The battery in mine died over the weekend, having given me roughly the longevity I'd expected from this post. Anyone know what the appropriate replacement is?
It's a 371 or SR920SW 👍
It looks absolutely splendid.

All the models they have done so far have been really nice. Next up is another dive watch I believe.
Mmmm … gilt dial or ivory?
On reflection, the gilt is too similar to the 1939:
So ivory it is

This looks really nice.
I already have a 6BB.
My Mum worked at the Newmark factory in Croydon in the 50s. I appreciate that this company has nothing to do with the original but they are taking inspiration from the past designs.
I’m curious as to whether this shares the same case as their excellent 6BB Chrono as it’s also a 38mm case. Does anyone know?
I just compared my 6BB to the photos here and it looks the same case to me
Hi all
The case is intrinsically the same as the 6bb but the case back is a different profile.
Cheers
Ewan
Thanks for posting. A little bit smaller would be nice, but I bought one anyway.
Strangely it seems a bit smaller, perhaps due to no chrono buttons. Thanks for going for it and hopefully you'll see what I mean 👍
Just ordered a 6BB and additional nato Ewan
....and on its way!Just ordered a 6BB and additional nato Ewan
I've just received the email, thanks Ewan. The only problem I encountered with your product range was which one to buy as they're all fantastic!
Initially I went on to buy the 52 but was then distracted by the HS, 6BB and Panda. There's just something classically utilitarian about the 6BB that I had to make it my first Newmark. I'm sure there will be other purchases.

I've never heard of this brand. I'm very tempted to take a punt on the gilt dial.
With your Swedish connection, you just must.
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Very nice .. it looks and feels immaculately put together.
A couple of mm smaller would have been perfect for me but it's close enough. The blued hands catch the light very nicely, reminiscent of my old white dial Mark XV. The case is nicely finished and the NATO is of high quality, with signed, brushed hardware. Lovely golden sand colour.
Very light and comfortable on the wrist.
The dial reminds of me of a watch I had as a kid, with black-outlined lumed arabic numerals, and even the gentle stutter of the second hand on the way round reinforces that. I keep wanting to put it to my ear to hear the soft tinkle of the clockwork. But it is of course battery-powered, and silent.

Very nice watch and decent Seiko Cal.
I would buy one but ...
not so long time ago, I modded a SNK803 with Yobokies dial and SNK369 hands....
So ...
Mine arrived on Tuesday
It’s a cracking watch

I see what you did there ;)
Are these limited production or will they be restocked for the foreseeable future?
They're all currently in stock.
Thanks, I was more wondering if they will be for the foreseeable future or not.
Good question!
As with most microbrands the decision to make another run very much depends on the demand for the initial run. The 52 is selling well at the moment but whether more are made then I'm not sure just yet. Don't want to sound cagey but that is the nature of the beast. If we were selling 50 pieces a day of each dial then my answer would be a resounding 'yes!' - but we're not, so need to take it week by week.
Not sure if this helps but I hope it goes some way to answering your question!
All best
Ewan
That definitely makes sense. Thanks
The cream dial and blued hands is very appealing! I need to stop looking at these.
Ewan, if you don’t mind a quick question.
I read...
“were we to have gone with a screw-down-crown then I would have insisted on a screwed-in crown tube (as with our Newmark 71).”
Just curious on why that is. Is a screwed-in crown tube more secure that a pressed in one, or is it easier to replace the screwed in tube if necessary?
Congrats on another winner.

I think it was to help keep the crown recessed within the case.
Just to answer this one - a screwed in tube is much easier to replace if necessary; given that crossed threading of the crown is a possibility on occasion, then replacing the tube is almost as easy as replacing a case back as it simply unscrews using a wincy Allen key.
Removal of a standard tube can be problematic!
Hope this helps
Best wishes to all
Ewan
Thanks Ewan, makes complete sense.
All the best with the 52, although I think it’s going to be very popular!
Mine said hello !
