Owner Review: Ratio Free Diver Professional 500m

П Ratio is quite an obscure brand – there’s little to be found about them around the web – they’re not big on marketing, using influencers or “disrupting the industry”. They, however, make a hell of a tool watch. Just like the transcendental number Pi they’ve taken up for their brand logo, the Ratio Freediver…

Owner Review: Seiko 7018-7000 Flyback Chronograph

The sweet exterior demeanor of this beautiful 1971 Seiko 7018-7000 Flyback Chronograph belies the technical powerhouse within; a bi-directional automatic winding, vertical-clutch, column-wheel, flyback chronograph with a Kanji day/date complication that held the record for world’s thinnest until 1987. It really does pack quite the punch. That was quite a mouthful so let’s unpack it…
