Owner Review: Poljot Strela – A Real Space Watch or Just an Homage?
Every watch fan has heard of the Omega Speedmaster and many have heard of the Bulova Lunar Pilot, but how many have heard of the Poljot Strela? I’m willing to bet not many. In the 50s the Soviets purchased equipment for the Venus 150 from the Swiss. They improved it by decreasing the beat rate…

Owner Review: Orient TY01V0B – A vintage homage of no such watch
The 70’s were a wild time indeed, and, even though marking a golden age for Japanese watch manufacturers such as Seiko and their younger brother, Orient, the never-ending stream of models at the time may be too wild to be universally accepted. So, Orient has made an attempt to re-invent those designs in their Neo…

Owner Review: Squale 30 Atmos GMT 1545 – A beautiful watch with flaws
First of all, I need to let you know something. I love Squale as a company and this watch is a stunner! But I do have some issues with the watch. The previous 30 Atmos watches were all 42mm and were a perfect fit for me. Although it seems that Squale eventually listened to customers…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 SNZH55 – More Than a Fifty Fathoms Homage!
So yes, it’s been done to death and everyone knows how amazing it is blah blah blah. I admit I bought into the hype buying this Seiko 5 SNZH55 on an impulse. A few months later it hasn’t seen too much wrist time. Don’t fall into the hype! It’s not a bad watch. Not even…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW5600 – The Moonwatch That Could Have Been
For as long as I’ve been into watches, I’ve been into G-Shock. No real collection is complete without one, or in my case about a dozen. When considering purchases of high-end watches it often takes me years before I make a final purchasing decision, with G-Shock, the quality and value they offer make them impulse…

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…
