The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 600 MK3, in its third iteration, is their flagship watch –…

Owner Review: Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT

Like ordering a frozen daiquiri in a pub where all the other patrons are drinking beer, the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT is a burst of flavour and goes about its business without pausing for a moment to consider what others might think. The watch grabs your attention with a mint and blue bicolour bezel,…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 5512

Up for review is my vintage, 1967 Rolex Submariner 5512 with idiosyncratic, so-called “neat” dial. The pleasant name stuck based on the refined typography and high standard of execution, particularly in comparison to the early 5512 matte dial models. As a demanding watch owner, I selected a vintage Submariner primarily for its aesthetics and functionality.…

Owner Review: Nomos Club Campus

When I was about to marry my beloved wife, I wanted to treat myself with a nice watch. It should be a) not too expensive and b) a watch my wife could and would wear, too. Just around that time, Nomos launched the Club Campus, intended for (as the name suggests) special occasions such as…

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox

I never looked at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox while it was in production, mainly because I thought that the crown locks are very ugly. It wasn’t until I saw the watch at a watchmaker/dealer that I realized how beautiful the dial is and found out that the sound in this particular model is just…

Owner Review: Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor

I will be honest and say it first, I had never heard of Christopher Ward and it sure wasn’t on my radar. Not until I was scrolling through Instagram reading posts about new releases and ran into a repost of the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor and man oh man was I intrigued. Immediately I…

Owner Review: Seiko SKX013 – Small diver with a big punch

The Seiko SKX013 is one of my favorite dive watches, at 38mm it is one of my favorite daily wear watches. One of my favorite aspects of the skx013 is the size, it really makes it the most wearable in the SKX line up especially for those of us with smaller wrists. The SKX013 is…

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: Omega Speedsonic F300hz

I don’t like Omega Speedmasters. I don’t like chronograph watches. I don’t have any soft spot for Omega in my heart, even if I recognize their quality. 70s design isn’t my favorite. I don’t wear watches above 42mm because of my small wrist. I only like mechanical and automatic watches. No battery for me! I…

Owner Review: Glycine Airman GMT Bronze GL0167 – Flying High

Before we get into the Glycine Airman GMT Bronze GL0167, I’ll begin with saying that I’m a watch enthusiast. I’m not an expert on the technical aspects of watch escapements, balance wheel materials or what type of chronograph movement works best under pressure. So, everything you get from me, apart from the technical specs I…
