Owner Review: Zodiac Super Sea Wolf
The brand name Zodiac has a rich history in the early days of the dive watch. It’s often lurking in the shadows of Rolex, Blancpain and Omega. Be that as it may, its contribution cannot be underestimated. Along with the Fifty Fathoms in 1953, the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf was one of the first dive

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2
This Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 was initially released with what may have been the longest name ever to grace a watch from La Grande Maison: Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 Tribute to Geophysic. The story at launch was that it had been tested to the extremes through being part of a mountaneering expedition

Owner Review: Rado Captain Cook
The Rado Captain Cook has been an absolute pleasure to own and I’m glad I went back to try it on a second time. This watch scratches that new watch itch every time I put it on. When I put this watch on in my wardrobe and I get a moody, close to black dial

Owner Review: Octon Forest Green
A. Cesnovar did an excellent analysis of his Octon already, so I will try to add and not repeat in this review. I am a microbrand geek who enjoys the designs and value that can be found. However, it can be tiresome scouring the internet to find another NH35 in another dive watch. The Octon

Owner Review: EMG/HKED Nemo Diver
Oh what’s this, a vintage inspired dive watch. There is no shortage of these around but this EMG/HKED Nemo Diver is done rather well and offers some great value. Initially, I disregarded it due to its 13.5mm thickness featuring quite a bulging case back. I felt it wouldn’t quite give that sporty but elegant feel

Owner Review: Christopher Ward C60 Trident 300 Quartz
Christopher Ward C60 Trident 300 Quartz; A short story. It’s been a long day. You get home and peruse your liquor cabinet, undecided on the libation of choice for the evening. As your eyes glide from bottle to bottle, a scent-memory of a favourite wool sweater, fresh salt-tinged sea breeze and old leather comes to

Owner Review: Cooper Submaster – a different kind of sub
“The kind of watch worn by hairy chested Secret Agents, former SBS types with easy smiles and big….well, we won’t go any further.” When you read a description like this on the company page, you just know you’re in for something special. And special it is, this Cooper Submaster. Modeled after the 80’s watches made

Owner Review: Armand Nicolet JS9-41
The Armand Nicolet JS9-41 is a 41mm sport diver designed and built in Tramelan Switzerland. Armand Nicolet has roots back to 1875 when the company namesake set up as a watchmaker in Bernese Jura.

Owner Review: Tag Heuer Formula 1 Cayman Limited Edition
It was 2017, our first cruise and a port stop in Grand Cayman. Somehow, I got it in my head that I was 40 and didn’t have a “nice watch”. So after a planned excursion, we planned on a bit of shopping before heading back to the ship (side note – on board the ship

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition
Long before I picked up the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, I have always had a fascination with wristwatches. My first memory of a watch was an Omega, probably a Seamaster, a simple 3 hander in Gold. Growing up, for me, Omega was the watch brand. There was some vague knowledge of their watches

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