Owner review: Breitling Chronometre B-1

Purchased used in 2016, but built in 2006, my Breitling Chronometre B-1 was the last of the ‘B-1’ model range. The later model B-1s houses certified chronometer quartz (cal. B78) which means a max time variation of 0.07 seconds per day, which is around 2 seconds a month! The movement is also thermo-compensated, regulating the…

Owner review: Tudor Ranger 79950

39mm 39mm 39mm I’ve been hearing that in my head more than I hear the phrase pop of color from watch reviewers on YouTube. So when I heard the Tudor Ranger 79950 was released, I called the ADs in town and 11 days later I was lucky enough to get the first one in. So…

Owner review: Hermes Arceau Grande Lune

I recently purchased the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune and I must say it is an elegant dress watch. This version comes with the blue calf skin strap with deployant clasps. Coming in at 43mm, legibility is good for people with waning eyesight. The power reserve of the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune comes in at 42…

When COVID hit, all that changed, but I remain hopeful that hassle-free travel will return. Hence, I’m presenting my new Seiko 5 GMT SSK001! Hoping for it to accompany on…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph

The Omega Seamaster line never interested me until the release of this Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph edition. This model had me surprised with a lot of firsts from Omega; from the one-click quick bracelet/strap change to the chrono-lock function. But what really got me is that red count-down ring that features an hour…

Owner review: Nomos Lambda

Since I started collecting watches I’ve always been intrigued by Nomos. The German brand has a lot going for it; iconic Bauhaus design, in-house movements, and excellent quality, all at a relatively reasonable price. During my search for the first Nomos, the Lambda in steel was launched. Yes, it was very attractive, but way too…
