Owner review: Omega Seamaster Professional 300m
Long before I was a degenerate watch collector I relished in hanging out with my friends after school. This was the late 90’s and as such our after school activities, before being shuffled off to our respective houses meant doing one thing, playing the Nintendo 64. Two games stood head and shoulders above the rest…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300M Chronograph
I never wrote a single review in my life. I always wanted to but I always had some excuses why not. So when Alex asked me, it just seemed like a good idea. Here goes …. its all about my Omega Seamaster 300M Chronograph! Story time. When I was a child, the first James Bond…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition
Long before I picked up the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, I have always had a fascination with wristwatches. My first memory of a watch was an Omega, probably a Seamaster, a simple 3 hander in Gold. Growing up, for me, Omega was the watch brand. There was some vague knowledge of their watches…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300m 007 Edition – No time to try.
Just to make the point, I’m not a James Bond fan boy (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I do have a military background however, so I do have a bias / preference towards military inspired dive watches. These are my thoughts and impression of this piece after 1 week of ownership. I’ve been…

Owner Review: Seamaster 300M Mid-size Quartz – Small not Diminutive
This version of the Omega Seamaster 300M Mid-size Quartz is gaining in popularity. I regularly have people message me about it, so let’s jump in. I went with the midsized version, which clocks in at 36.25mm. The lug-width is 18mm. Lug-to-lug length is 43mm and thickness is 11.2mm. This SMP is definitely wearable. It’s light,…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300m Ceramic
Not many watches, or product lines in general, have the ability to maintain relevance over the course of 25+ years. Times change, styles fade, and people get bored. But with the help of James Bond and some savvy advertising, the Omega Seamaster 300m has cemented itself in the minds of watch enthusiasts and Bond fans…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M
Today we are going to talk about one of my favourite divers ever: the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M. This story goes back to when I saw the James Bond movie Golden Eye as a kid, Pierce Brosnan wore his Seamaster with the characteristic waves on the watch face. I was so impressed that I…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300M ‘Great White’ GMT 2538.20.00
Like a lot of other men my age, I was introduced to watches by Pierce Brosnan and the Goldeneye Bond movie. The thought of having a laser beam on our wrists and travelling the world to exotic locations with beautiful women left a permanent mark. Of course back in the real world, the Omega Seamaster…

Owner review: Breitling SuperOcean A13340
Let’s think about cars for a moment. At one time, “Grand Touring” cars were understood as different from sports cars – a car that would comfortably and reliably move people and luggage over long distances. Now, that category and the label “GT”, has shifted, since that definition pretty much applies to any modern car. Now…

Owner review: Oris Aquis Date Upcycle
I’ve been looking at adding a diver/sports watch to my collection since my preference is still towards dressier timepieces. Oris Aquis has been in my radar but somehow never seems to have pull the trigger. Somehow having a small wrist doesn’t help in my case. It was in late 2021 that I saw the release…
