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…

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 Ploprof 1200m
Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m …. Beast? Instead of beginning with its history and technical specifications, or the most common question I get asked: “What does the orange button do?”, I’ll start with the most common misconception: “It’s an unwearable beast of a watch”. Truth is, the Seamaster Ploprof 1200m is a beast, but a very much…

Owner Review: Doxa Sub 300T
There are brands that are universally known, whether you’re a watch collector or a just casual watch wearer. Then there are those that live in the space that only watch collectors, aka watch nerds, occupy. The Doxa Sub 300T is definitely a watch nerd watch. Doxa is a brand that you’re not going to see…

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 Planet Ocean 600m
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m at 43.5mm is no small watch, even for a 600m dive watch it is on the larger side. But it is very wearable on the Omega rubber strap or a nato strap, while the bracelet adds a lot of heft and for those with a smaller wrist it’s a…

Owner Review: Seiko Tuna SBBN017
In 1968 the Seiko management gave the order to Ikuo Tokunaga to develop “the perfect professional diver’s watch”. Seven years later he presented the first Tuna (6159-7010), this was the ancestor of the Seiko Tuna SBBN017. It was the first diver’s watch with a titanium monocoque case, a titanium shroud with ceramic coating to protect…

Owner Review: Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600
I have always been a huge fan of dive watches. Something about their practical, no-nonsense design and usability has appealed to me since my interest in watches started. One of those dive watches is manufactured by none other than Rolex, a heavy-weight in this category for its timeless designs and innovation. This is my review…

Owner Review: Tudor Pelagos LHD Left Hand Drive
The Tudor Pelagos Left Hand Drive or LHD employs an MT5612 in house COSC certified calibre, titanium case and bracelet, helium escape valve, 500m of water resistance and Tudor’s proprietary spring-loaded clasp. Putting this watch on the wrist you immediately recognise the traits that make the LHD unique. The hands and markers are given a…
