Owner Review: Tudor North Flag – the indie Tudor tool choice
I got this as an everyday day casual watch, which was a brief that had been exclusively filled by divers for me previously. This was before I got into owning a number of watches that those not in the watchfam would consider ridiculous. I had been wearing an Omega Planet Ocean, large, orange, my most…

Owner Review: The Ianos Avyssos is a Dive watch you must sea to believe.
So, what can I tell you about my Ianos Avyssos Blue?? I got it for my Birthday this year in January – placed a blind order online – and it arrived, very quickly, straight from Ianos Watches in Switzerland, with regular updates throughout from Jacob, the creator and owner, via email. It is a steel…

Owner Review: The Nivada Cousteau
The ability of vintage watches to tell stories of mankind always fascinated me. I am particularly attracted to tool watches with the Portuguese import hallmark, as they connect me to my country and make each piece more distinctive. Growing up in Portugal in the 80s, like every other kid I frequently watched Cousteau and Calypso…

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: Bremont Venom 2 ultimate stealth watch
I was looking for an all black DLC ‘sports’ watch for some time. They either all seemed too overdone and trying too hard like they were meant for some post apocalyptic future, or looked like they belonged on the wrist of the teenager making his first foray into the all black smart watches we see…

Owner Review: The only sun in the UK summer a Corniche Chronograph
Quartz watches are really not loved in the world of watch collecting. You don’t tend to see them in ‘popular’ watch Instagrams or websites. The Corniche heritage chronograph runs on a Seiko VK64 Hybrid movement. A quartz movement with sweeping second-hand for the chronograph. This is where one of my complaints for this watch stems…

Owner Review: Pac-man Game Watch – I ❤️ the 80’s
In the early 1980’s, Pac-Man fever was rapidly spreading across the land. From its humble beginnings as a simple arcade game, it spawned a massive sprawling empire which, at its peak, included home console titles, a Saturday morning cartoon, a breakfast cereal, …and game watches. In 1982, a relative newcomer to consumer electronics, Nelsonic, secured…

Owner Review: Daniel Roth C147 Chronograph, quality and tradition from Le Sentier…..
Being a watch lover and a watch collector for some years now, I have always fed my passion following quality and history. Doing that from the very beginning, I started to study vintage watches being attracted always by the craftsmanship and uncommon, unique designs. After some years on vintage watches, I was obviously fascinated by…

Owner Review: Nomos Orion Weis – A little, big taste of Glashütte
Here is my Nomos Orion Weis in 33mm (well, 32.8mm if you want to be exact). It hails from the renowned German watchmaking town of Glashütte in the state of Saxony that is often associated with their bigger neighbors, A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original. Despite NOMOS having practically zero history or ties to…

Owner Review: Sinn 900 Flieger – At home on land, under water and in the air
In my small portfolio, the Sinn 900 Flieger («pilot») is the oldest and one of the first «proper» watches I ever bought. And for me, the 900F is still one of the hottest watches in the Sinn range. The 900F has a very clean and uncluttered face, while still offering a lot of information: a…

Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
