• Owner Review: Steinhart Military 47 – Unique Flieger

    Long before I found this Steinhart Military 47 I have always had a special liking for German made products. I even took on a language course during school days. The thing that I admire the most about German made products is the craftsmanship. Nothing beats the submarine steel of Sinn & Damasko, and Lange is…

  • Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – Connected to the Past

    Piercing pain of singing cicadas, dry and dusty smells of a silver mining town and the scorching hot grass leading under the constantly cool corrugated iron water tank that supplied the house. All these memories are seared into my being. Various things remind me from time to time of my childhood but they are somewhat…

  • Owner Review: Benrus Military Field Watch

    Beloved for its clean utilitarian aesthetic, the field watch is one of the most iconic styles of watch produced today and it’s available in a dizzying array of variations from many watch brands, large and small.

  • Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – What is heritage with no story?

    I like watches, but what I like more are the stories associated with them. That is why I ended up picking the Longines Heritage Military. WW2 is an important event in mankind’s history.

  • Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military L28114530

    Despite managing to only find two Instagram posts from Longines around its release in late 2016 and a small handful of online reviews since this time, the vintage appeal of the Longines Heritage Military L28114530 was just too good for me to pass up. To this very day, this watch remains one of my favourite…

  • Owner Review: Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military OVM

    I can hear the watch snobs…sipping on their Haterades as I type this review. The first time I bought the Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military I was very happy with it. Then I started to read the reviews, damning this homage watch to being no better than a fake. So I sold it…I felt a bit…

  • Tactico Atlantis Owner Review by Chris @ck2k01

    I really like the archetypal Monnin case (some would say “cased,” with another company, M.R.P., also likely deserving some credit). There are actually a few different Monnin cases that were used by a range of brands back in the day, though the originating Heuer 844 (“Jumbo”) is the most iconic. The same or very similar…

  • Owner review: RGMT New Demolition

    RGMT is a relatively new watch company that specializes in overbuilt military inspired tool watches. With model names like Artillery, BattleDress and Demolition well, you get the idea. The RGMT New Demolition seems to be a more feature-heavy version of the Demolition model. To start with, it has a pretty standard diver bezel that appears…
