Owner review: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer

From the first time I laid eyes on the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer 150M Co-Axial Master Chronometer GMT and tried it on, I knew that I had to get it sooner or later. The stunning dial caught my attention and it is definitely the star of the show. There is the laser-ablated grade 5…

Owner review: Seiko GMT SSK001

I had to go on an overseas work trip so gave myself an excuse to buy a GMT watch. As I don’t think I’ll be getting my Rolex Pepsi anytime soon, I decided to have a look at the relatively new Seiko 5 GMTs. I really wanted to try on the Seiko GMT SSK001 (black…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGM221

I was a budding watch enthusiast with three watches: a Speedy, a no-date Sub, and a DJ36. I wanted to stir things up. After much debate, I pulled the trigger on a JLC Reverso Medium Thin. Less than 24 hours in, I began regretting my decision. I couldn’t understand why, as I had tried the…

Owner review: Seiko 5 GMT SSK001

Prior to the whole COVID situation, travelling used to be quite a frequent event for me, either for family holidays, or to attend work-related conferences. When COVID hit, all that changed, but I remain hopeful that hassle-free travel will return. Hence, I’m presenting my new Seiko 5 GMT SSK001! Hoping for it to accompany on…

Grand Seiko SBGM221 GMT Review

OK, let me start with my biases. I’m a three-hand guy. Not really, of course, though as a watch addict that would be pretty great. What I mean is that I love simple watches. I have a few divers and chronos but what I really love is a perfect no-date three hander. If I’m going…

Owner Review: Squale 30 Atmos GMT 1545 – A beautiful watch with flaws

First of all, I need to let you know something. I love Squale as a company and this watch is a stunner! But I do have some issues with the watch. The previous 30 Atmos watches were all 42mm and were a perfect fit for me. Although it seems that Squale eventually listened to customers…

Owner Review: Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 2 126710 BLRO

You all know this watch. Nothing I can write here will likely change your feelings on it. Some are anxious to own one, and some are blatantly ignorant of its existence. It is of course, the 2018 Basel release Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 2 126710 BLRO, also known as simply “the Pepsi”. When Rolex teased…

Owner Review: Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235

Watches tell the time, some also tell the month, date, and even moon phase. For the Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235, it is so very much more than that, it is a piece of art. This piece was released as part of the celebration of the Calibre 9S 20th year anniversary and limited to 1000 pieces…

Owner Review: Seiko SBQJ015 – Quartz Watch Packed with Features

The Seiko SBQJ015 is a rarity that deserves some attention. You won’t find much in the Seiko line-up these days that matches the SBQJ015’s impressive specs, or beautiful design. The watch uses a high precision quartz movement (accurate to within 20 seconds per year), model 8F56, and is also a GMT and perpetual calendar. I…

Owner Review: Edox Geoscope GMT – The world at a glance!

The watch that I am going to talk about is the Edox Geoscope GMT Limited edition released in 2014: only 300 pieces were made to celebrate Edox 130th anniversary. Every year that passes many brands in the watchmaking field leverage the symbolic and emotional elements connected to their historical heritage to try to convey to…
