Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 36
Say ‘hello’ to the Tudor Black Bay 36 – a versatile piece that flies under the radar! It comes in at 36mm, which to me is a perfect size. I know there are those that say 36mm is too small but for me, this wears perfectly, and is so proportionate. I suppose Rolex agrees with

Owner Review: Citizen Jet Auto Dater
The soft whine that began somewhere behind you has grown to a dull roar. As the speed increases, you feel your body being pushed back into your seat. You’re aware of a faint mechanical rattle and the clinking of the white coffee cups and saucers stored in the galley just ahead. The angle of the

Owner Review: Seiko Lord Matic 5216-8020
Tokyo, summer, 1976. Hiroshi toils away late into the night performing tedious cost calculations at the offices of Yamato Construction, desperately trying to impress the boss. If only he could prove himself to Yamato-san, he’d surely get that big promotion. He looks down at his wrist to check the time; He’s going to miss the

Owner Review: Timor Heritage Field
I was going to write a clever review of the Timor Heritage Field in the form of a “war letter” written from the WWII trenches, or by some army supply officer who managed the wartime distribution of the original Dirty Dozen timepieces. But I don’t have a good enough imagination and the research would’ve taken

Owner Review: Citizen 67-9119 “Spyder”
Long before the Citizen 67-9119 “Spyder”, the first watch that made an impression on me was a Citizen Eco-Drive chronograph that my late father gifted me “for no reason” (as was his way) in the summer of 2002. It will turn 20 years old this year and hasn’t missed a tick. The emotions we associate

Owner Review: Heuer Yacht Timer ref.503.512
Okay, so the watch doesn’t keep time all too well, but that’s no biggie. With this Heuer Yacht Timer ref.503.512 it’s all about the aesthetic. In terms of a colorful watch, does it get any better than 1970’s Heuer? While I don’t have a yacht to time, I could probably race some rubber duckies in

Owner Review: Seiko 0853-8000 King Quartz
I had a tendency in the first lockdown to spend some spare time at my new ‘home office’ scrolling through sales and auction sites while muted on Zoom calls. Sounds familiar to a lot of people I bet. This had, of course, the usual side effect. Packages containing watches, parts of watches, and watchmaking tools

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical
Like most of us, I am also buying more straps for my watches than I actually need. Unlike most of us I am buying (and selling) watches at a very slow rate. A new watch needs to convince me more than 95% before I buy it. That’s one reason, why I rarely buy used watches:

Owner Review: Seiko SBDB015 Landmaster
The Seiko SBDB015 Landmaster is a very opinionated, polarizing watch, and I like it that way. This tool watch has so much functionality packed in with a very funky cool design and it definitely isn’t for everyone. The SBDB015 is such a great value, considering all of the features you get: A proper local jumping

Owner Review: Christopher Ward C60 Trident 300 Quartz
Christopher Ward C60 Trident 300 Quartz; A short story. It’s been a long day. You get home and peruse your liquor cabinet, undecided on the libation of choice for the evening. As your eyes glide from bottle to bottle, a scent-memory of a favourite wool sweater, fresh salt-tinged sea breeze and old leather comes to

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…
