Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Reduced

The Omega Speedmaster Reduced 3539.50 is somewhat of a sleeper in the watch world. It evokes a lot of the same classic styling of the iconic 42mm Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” but sporting an automatic movement in a versatile 38mm form-factor instead. Unfortunately, the Speedmaster Reduced has long been discontinued but at least they’re still pretty…

Owner Review: IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph

At 43mm the IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph is the largest watch in my collection. I love my 34mm Rolex. I have no problem with small diameter watches, they are so comfortable. To be honest, I was a bit worried about how I would feel wearing a 43mm wrist associate. For my first little bit…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster MK40

If you asked me what I think about the Omega Speedmaster MK40, I would tell you it is an extremely nice watch. It wears comfortably on the wrist, goes well with many outfits, and is a very low key watch. It’s got a lot of quirky functions that make it a very unique -and colorful-…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz

I have been collecting watches for almost 20 years now and by the time the Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz was announced in 2010, I was only focused on vintage watches but it became my first modern Speedy to mark an important personal achievement. This LE commemorated the 35th anniversary of the rendezvous of Apollo and…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Mark 2 Racing

Those familiar with Speedmaster history would agree that the “moon watch” is almost more famous than the mission itself; to watch geeks anyway. But, the Speedmaster is more than a one-trick pony. Sporting a cushion case, chequered minute tracks and a multitude of colours, this 1970s Omega Speedmaster Mark 2 Racing retains the speedy layout,…

Owner Review: Sinn 103 St

I discovered the Sinn 103 St almost ten years ago, around the time of my first watch loves. I was hungry to learn as much as I could about watches, especially chronographs and military watches. What I also loved about Sinn watches was the fact that they were not using extensive marketing bullshit to make…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Racing Co-axial

I was always captivated by Omega as a brand, and the Speedy going to the moon. The Moonwatch professional is a little too big for my small wrist and to be honest, as much as I like the watch, personally I appreciate an automatic movement on for daily use. So as I was choosing the…

Owner Review: Rolex Zenith Daytona 16520

Anyone who is ‘into watches’ knows the Daytona, it’s perhaps the eponymous chronograph of the modern day. Rugged, distinctive and now sadly nearly impossible to get hold of in its current guise without felating an authorized dealer with unpleasant regularity, paying an enormous premium on the secondary market or being a professional sportsman. My proclivity…

Owner Review: Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold

Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold, what a beautiful and powerful word combination. Just like the watch itself. It catches the eye. It’s big. It’s robust, yet refined. It’s sporty, yet classy. And it withstands 600 metres of bone crushing water pressure. Not that I ever go anywhere near that kind of depth, I am…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Ultraman Speedy Tuesday

I should preface this particular watch review with one very important admission: despite being an avid watch collector for a number of years with a fair number of pieces occupying my safe both past and present, I have never owned an Omega before. I don’t mean an Omega Speedmaster, I mean that I have never…
