Owner Review: Halios Fairwind – 39mm blue beauty with killer bracelet
I first saw the Halios Fairwind on Instagram. While Jason Lim at Halios doesn’t post very often, somehow the IG algorithm read my mind and dangled this shiny object before my eyes. Halios watches tend to re-sell at a premium, but what really drew me to the Fairwind is the bracelet with on-the-fly adjustability. EVERY

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300m 007 Edition – No time to try.
Just to make the point, I’m not a James Bond fan boy (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I do have a military background however, so I do have a bias / preference towards military inspired dive watches. These are my thoughts and impression of this piece after 1 week of ownership. I’ve been

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – Connected to the Past
Piercing pain of singing cicadas, dry and dusty smells of a silver mining town and the scorching hot grass leading under the constantly cool corrugated iron water tank that supplied the house. All these memories are seared into my being. Various things remind me from time to time of my childhood but they are somewhat

Owner Review: Rolex Sky-Dweller 326934 Stainless Steel
The word and brand Rolex invoke different things for different people. Most commonly when people think of Rolex they think of wealth, money, excess, rich movie stars and performers. For me Rolex is all about the great solid watch they make. A watch I can buy and wear for 20-30 years and then pass on

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Blue 58 – One You Can Marry
Winner of a 2020 GPHG award and perhaps more impressively, the Fifth Wrist Diver of the Year at the 2020 Wristies Awards, the Tudor Black Bay Blue 58 is one of the most talked about watches to come out of 2020. But are we all just falling victim to Insta-hype? As 2020 drew to a

Owner Review: Seiko Chronograph 7A28-7040
A black dialled watch with sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9… Could be a Speedmaster? Or a Daytona? Or any number of copycat derivatives. Not this one, this is the Seiko Chronograph 7A28-7040. In early 1983, Seiko unveiled the world’s first analogue quartz movement with integrated chronograph function. Up until then, unbelievable as it seems

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical White Dial
Almost all watch enthusiasts (and YouTube reviewers on a slow day) have given this one a thought at least once – what is the ideal apocalypse watch? A G-Shock? No, the battery will eventually run out. Something solar-powered, then? Perhaps, but what if the sun is blocked by a dust cloud from a cataclysmic event

Owner Review: Breitling Aerospace – Quartz Geekery and Beyond!
“Hey Darling look! I received my new watch today!” – (wife looks blankly at my wrist) – “And guess what? It’s a quartz watch! Who would have thought I would ever buy a quartz watch?” -(wife raises her gaze to stare into my eyes in total disbelief, nearly dropping the book she is holding in

Owner Review: Dali Soft Watch – The Persistence of Memory
When I was younger, I was obsessed with Salvador Dalí. I spent hours in the museums of different countries. I read his memoirs and studied his works. During one trip to Spain in 2001, I visited a town of Figueres, which had a museum that Dalí created. I spent a day wandering from room to

Owner Review: King Seiko Day Date 5626-7000
Now I have had a hankering for one of these King Seiko 5626-7000 Day Dates for a while, so when one popped up on a Facebook watch group after a wine or 4 , I jumped on it. This was my first horological purchase on that particular platform, it was a good price and you

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…
