Owner Review: Omega Constellation

The Omega Constellation is overlooked in the brands’ offerings. When we think about Omega the watches that immediately come to mind are the Seamaster and of course the iconic Speedmaster. The Constellation line has been in Omega’s catalog for more than half a century appearing for the first time in the 1950’s. The famous pie-pan dials…

Owner Review: A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 MoonPhase

The A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 MoonPhase is such a distinctive watch that marks A Lange & Sohne’s (“ALS”) revival in the 1990s with its unique decentralised and asymmetrical dial design, and of course, the outsize date display. A piece I’ve always wanted to add to my collection, and I’ve very pleased to share…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGW231

The Grand Seiko SBGW231 is part of my watch collecting “hobby” (reads: sickness)story. Like many, my obsession was spiralling out of control and my appetite for buying more watches grew by the day, I started consciously putting some roadblocks to prevent myself from acquiring new timepieces. At the time, Grand Seiko had been taking the…

Owner review: Zelos Swordfish 40mm TI

A review is just one individual’s opinion. Take it. Weigh it. It may inform, irritate, entertain, or none of those things. In the end, make up your own mind if a timepiece is for you. The watch I am reviewing has multiple reviews, most of them extremely positive. So please, don’t just take my word…

Owner review: Seiko SNK381

The Seiko SNK381 has been gaining traction a lot lately within the community for good reason and again, like most of my watch purchases, blindsided me. Seiko…

Owner review: Armitron Griffy

Retro is all the rage these days and that’s what the Armitron Griffy is all about. Nostalgic themes have manifested in major aspects of popular culture, from entertainment, video games, cars and even the items we use every day (e.g. the re-emergence of the enamel cup, something I grew up watching my grandfather drink morning…

Owner review: Omega De Ville

I can start by saying I’m a big Omega fan and not just because the Speedmaster was my first luxury watch or because Bond was my childhood dream life. Throughout the years Omega has somehow managed to find it’s way into Ethiopia, my homeland. From Ethiopian pocket watches, that I’ve previously reviewed here, to a…
