Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox
I never looked at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox while it was in production, mainly because I thought that the crown locks are very ugly. It wasn’t until I saw the watch at a watchmaker/dealer that I realized how beautiful the dial is and found out that the sound in this particular model is just

Owner Review: Seiko SKX013 – Small diver with a big punch
The Seiko SKX013 is one of my favorite dive watches, at 38mm it is one of my favorite daily wear watches. One of my favorite aspects of the skx013 is the size, it really makes it the most wearable in the SKX line up especially for those of us with smaller wrists. The SKX013 is

Owner Review: Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor
I will be honest and say it first, I had never heard of Christopher Ward and it sure wasn’t on my radar. Not until I was scrolling through Instagram reading posts about new releases and ran into a repost of the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor and man oh man was I intrigued. Immediately I

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m at 43.5mm is no small watch, even for a 600m dive watch it is on the larger side. But it is very wearable on the Omega rubber strap or a nato strap, while the bracelet adds a lot of heft and for those with a smaller wrist it’s a

Owner Review: Seiko Monster SRP309
Today, the Monster is a well-known, beloved and, dare I say, iconic watch from the Seiko line-up. It’s arguably one of the best and most recognizable designs from the brand, along with the Samurai, in the past couple of decades or so. But this was not always the case. When the aptly named Seiko Monster

Owner Review: Eterna Kontiki Adventure
Any watch enthusiast familiar with Eterna likely knows of Eterna’s close association with the 1947 Kon-Tiki expedition. I won’t rehash that expedition here (the book and movies are worth your time), but following its successful completion, Eterna adopted the KonTiki name for a number of watch lines. This brings us to the watch in question,

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy Seals Alarm
Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC) has a thing with sound. Since 1959, JLC has been building alarms for the wrist. As such, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy Seals Alarm Watch (NSA) follows in the footsteps of giants such as the Deep Sea (1959) and the Polaris (1968) as well as the rest of the Memovox range through the

Owner Review: Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller
The legendary Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller is a Big watch… The capital B has very much been used on purpose. Coming in at a seemingly huge 44mm in size, it doesn’t sit as wide as many large Panerai dive watches, but it is the acrophobia inducing height of 17.7mm that makes it feel a touch unwieldy,

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 58 79030N
You want to be Connery’s Bond and wear a Rolex 6538 “big crown” while lusting over its warm gilt dial with elegantly proportioned case and sharp deep chamfers… but need something robust and modern that doesn’t cost you a house deposit.. meet the modern 114060 Ceramic Rolex Submariner, but wait..it’s way too modern and clinical..

Owner Review: NTH Näcken
If you take serious medication against homagitis I advise you to skip this perversion of a review on the NTH Näcken. I’d like to focus on aspects that strike to me as improvements on this milked platform instead of the usual “bang for buck” talk. Brand name & logo are combined in a vertically symmetric

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…
