Owner review: Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005
The Omega Constellation is a watch that has been around for decades and comes in hundreds of variations. However, there is one version that defined what some would call the most stylish generation: The Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005. Seen on the wrists of icons like Elvis Pressley and Al Pacino in “The Godfather”, the

Owner review: Breitling Chronometre B-1
Purchased used in 2016, but built in 2006, my Breitling Chronometre B-1 was the last of the ‘B-1’ model range. The later model B-1s houses certified chronometer quartz (cal. B78) which means a max time variation of 0.07 seconds per day, which is around 2 seconds a month! The movement is also thermo-compensated, regulating the

The Phoibos Apollo Grey PY036E is constructed from 316L stainless steel, has a lug to lug of 48mm, a width of 42mm and a height of 12.5mm. The most obvious feature of the case is the large, screw-down crown snuggled between crown guards at the 8 o’clock position, on the left side of the case,

Owner review: Tudor Ranger 79950
39mm 39mm 39mm I’ve been hearing that in my head more than I hear the phrase pop of color from watch reviewers on YouTube. So when I heard the Tudor Ranger 79950 was released, I called the ADs in town and 11 days later I was lucky enough to get the first one in. So

Owner review: Hermes Arceau Grande Lune
I recently purchased the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune and I must say it is an elegant dress watch. This version comes with the blue calf skin strap with deployant clasps. Coming in at 43mm, legibility is good for people with waning eyesight. The power reserve of the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune comes in at 42

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

Owner review: Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph
The Omega Seamaster line never interested me until the release of this Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph edition. This model had me surprised with a lot of firsts from Omega; from the one-click quick bracelet/strap change to the chrono-lock function. But what really got me is that red count-down ring that features an hour

Owner review: Nomos Lambda
Since I started collecting watches I’ve always been intrigued by Nomos. The German brand has a lot going for it; iconic Bauhaus design, in-house movements, and excellent quality, all at a relatively reasonable price. During my search for the first Nomos, the Lambda in steel was launched. Yes, it was very attractive, but way too

Owner review: Seiko Sumo Prospex Black Series SPB125J1
Most watch reviews that I have read start off with a story of the author’s inspiration behind getting the watch. Something in their childhood that spurred them to make the purchase, or some cool reasons that prompted them to eventually take steps to acquire said watch. For my Seiko Sumo Prospex Black Series SPB125J1, there

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…
