Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition

Long before I picked up the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, I have always had a fascination with wristwatches. My first memory of a watch was an Omega, probably a Seamaster, a simple 3 hander in Gold. Growing up, for me, Omega was the watch brand. There was some vague knowledge of their watches

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra – almost perfect.

Almost the perfect watch… almost. My Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra has a lot going for it. It was to be my one & only luxury automatic watch fitting the “one and done GADA” piece. Truth be told, it comes damn close! Though the 41 mm case is on the larger size of the new modern

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: Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze

Bronze Watches. Let’s get this out of the way…right away. Bronze is a material that people SHOULD make watches from!! Bronze watches SHOULD NOT be a fad or something that fades away with time. Why, you ask? Bronze is the world’s first metal alloy. Early history is full of man using this important metal to

Owner Review: Seiko Turtle SRP779K1 – What came first? The ‘Turtle’ or the Egg?

The Seiko Turtle SRP779K1 has served as my first entry into the wonderful world of mechanical watches. I’m not sure if I was aware of its predecessors the ‘SKX‘ model before owning it or not. It’s possible that since having the beautiful Pepsi bezel in my life I have unwittingly started to notice articles, photos

Editorial: A Detailed Overview of ochs und junior

Last year was a difficult year for most of us. The Coronavirus pandemic has brought many restrictions and suffering to the world. And as everyone knows most watch brands were hit hard by the virus, too: employees had to stay at home, suppliers could not deliver, customers stopped buying. From the large amount of difficulties within and outside

Owner Review: Baltic Aquascaphe – Instagram favourite but sadly not mine

I first became attracted to the now ubiquitous “vintage inspired diver” by the Christopher Ward C65, which is of course shamelessly inspired by the Oris Divers 65 but the CW was half the price and I marginally preferred the design. Then I saw the well marketed pre-order for the Aquascaphe by French brand Baltic. It

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
