The already legendary Seiko Presage Cocktail Time SRPB43 is one of the classiest dress watches in the entire Seiko line, it is even widely regarded as classy by luxury Swiss watch standards.

Owner Review: Rolex Zenith Daytona 16520
Anyone who is ‘into watches’ knows the Daytona, it’s perhaps the eponymous chronograph of the modern day. Rugged, distinctive and now sadly nearly impossible to get hold of in its current guise without felating an authorized dealer with unpleasant regularity, paying an enormous premium on the secondary market or being a professional sportsman. My proclivity

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Blue 79220B
Tudor took the watch world by storm when it reintroduced itself with the highly anticipated Heritage Collection in the early 2010s. Among all the models, the Black Bay heritage line played the most crucial role in reasserting the Tudor brand back to “relevancy.” I immediately fell in love with the Black Bay Red reference 7922R

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner “No Date” 114060
My first Rolex was an Explorer purchased about two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer is a great watch: understated, comfortable, a great candidate for a “one watch collection” if you’re not able to spend a lot of money and choose to have only one great watch. But I suppose I was not

Owner Review: Tissot PRC 200 Powermatic 80
In the world of Swiss watches, Tissot offers great heritage and a whole lot of different models to choose from – something for everyone, in every price range. However, I’ve always found their designs to be a mixed bag – there are some good ones, alright, but they have to be sieved from the pile

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer 1016
The Rolex Explorer 1016 is one of the most iconic watches from the brand, and a classic from their lineup. From the early 34mm models of the fifties to the larger modern ones, the essential aesthetics and functions have remained essentially identical: 369 black dial, Mercedes hand. The watch in my possession is a ref.

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer II Polar 16570
The Rolex Explorer II Polar 16570 has been gaining popularity in the past months, and I think it will gain more traction in 2020. Rolex Explorer II 16570 was first released in 1988 as a more robust update of the 16550 with the caliber 3185 which enabled the GMT hand to be adjustable, as used

Owner Review: Stowa Marine Original – Elegance with a nautic touch
Let’s take a close look at the Stowa Marine Original. The movement is a hand wound Unitas 6498 with second hand at 6 o’clock, a reliable and easy to maintain workhorse. It’s not the top of horology but the rather big parts in the movement give much space for nice decorations. Look at the finished

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