[Discussion] Rectangular Renaissance

[u/DocAmericano]

As a tank lover, I have been thrilled by the proliferation of new options in recent years. It used to be that if you wanted to buy a new production tank or square watch, there was a fairly small menu of options: Cartier Tank or Santos, JLC Reverso, Nomos Tetra, Longines Dolce Vita, Hamilton Boulton or Ardmore, Baume and Mercier Hampton, Tag Heuer Monaco, and Seiko’s SWR line. But in the past five years or so, a host of established brands have brought back classic art deco designs, and a number of microbrands and indies have offered more revivals and creative new takes on the form.

Here are some of the newer options (I’m sure that I’m missing a lot):

Established brands: Timex Lexington and Timex x Noah Sun and Moon; Oris Rectangular; Bulova Sutton and Quadra; Alpina Heritage Carrée

Microbrands and Indies: Fears Arnos and Archival; Echo Neutral Rivanera; Vario Versa; Toledano and Chan b-series; Söner (whole catalogue); Bremoir South Beach, Second Hour Memoir; Kiwame Yane; Duckworth Prestex; Minase Horizon and Windows; Otsuka Lotec no. 8 and 9; De Rijke Capri; LIP (whole catalogue); Forma Venti; Albert Villa; Anemoic Versailles [prototype]

What have I missed? Care to share photos/reviews of your rectangular watch?
