Today we’ve got the Doxa Sub300 Searambler 50th Anniversary; a 300 piece limited production of the legendary OG Sub300 introduced to the world by Doxa in 1968. If you’re reading this article, you probably know something about Doxa, or have heard about them

    Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Blue 79220B

    Tudor took the watch world by storm when it reintroduced itself with the highly anticipated Heritage Collection in the early 2010s. Among all the models, the Black Bay heritage line played the most crucial role in reasserting the Tudor brand back to “relevancy.” I immediately fell in love with the Black Bay Red reference 7922R

    Owner Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Ocean Commitment III

    When we hear quintessential dive watch, many will think of the Rolex Submariner but it was Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms that was the first true iteration of the modern dive watch. Released in 1953 and then relaunched in 2007, Blancpain has produced many variations but I think the purest form is reserved for its 40mm limited

    Owner Review: Orient Mako XL – Orange is the new black

    The Orient Mako XL has been around a few year now, but since the release of the Kano and Kamasu, it’s gotten even more affordable. With a total of five different variations, the black dial/orange bezel combo is by far my favorite one. The dial is matte black and the deep, metallic orange of the

    Owner Review: Panerai Radiomir S.L.C. PAM 425

    It was August 2019 in Athens, Greece. I had an itch to get me a Radiomir. I wanted a Black Seal Ceramic, but I was trying to control myself, unsuccessfully. During a trip to the mall, I pass by an AD and spot the Radiomir Ceramic in the display window. I go in and ask

    Owner Review: Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE435 PADI

    I had recently received a bonus from my employer back in 2018 and I wanted a real dive watch. I can’t even swim, but I always liked the idea of a watch that could do the job even if I couldn’t. I wanted something authentic and eye catching, but also reasonably priced that wouldn’t break

  • Owner Review: Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600

    Owner Review: Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600

    I have always been a huge fan of dive watches. Something about their practical, no-nonsense design and usability has appealed to me since my interest in watches started. One of those dive watches is manufactured by none other than Rolex, a heavy-weight in this category for its timeless designs and innovation. This is my review

    The Tudor Pelagos Left Hand Drive or LHD employs an MT5612 in house COSC certified calibre, titanium case and bracelet, helium escape valve, 500m of water resistance and Tudor’s proprietary spring-loaded clasp.

    Owner Review: Oris Diver 65 – blast from the past that lasts

    In a marketplace saturated by retro dive watches and watch company reissues complete with artificially aged lume, dials, and hand sets, it can be hard to imagine a less funky and colorful world only half a decade ago when watches were generally just iterations of modern lineups. Which is why when big hitters like Tudor

  • Owner Review: Rolex Double Red Sea Dweller

    Owner Review: Rolex Double Red Sea Dweller

    I’ve always been a Sea-Dweller fan. My first Rolex Sea-Dweller was the 16600, and the major draw to me was the fact that it did not have a date magnifier (aka cyclops), and the fact that at 40mm, it is very similar to the Rolex Submariner, but a little thicker. The Rolex Double Red Sea
