Owner Review: S.U.F. Helsinki 180 Kuura – Simply Beautiful
The S.U.F. Helsinki 180 Kuura, must be the simplest watch that Stepan Sarpaneva produces. It is based on the field watches of old yet is a modern take on this very classic in its design. The size is modern but not too large at 38.7mm and a slim 8.9mm thick. Lug width is 20mm, so…

Owner Review: Raketa Perpetual Calendar
If you’re like me and you spend a lot of time on eBay hunting for sweet vintage watches, you’ll have come across a bunch of these Soviet era pieces from companies like Raketa and Poljot. The main attraction with these watches are that they are cheap and the cases are big. We all know the…

Owner Review: Breitling Navitimer Automatic 38
I feel Breitling get a bad rep, not as bad as Tag heuer but that’s the impression I get and don’t understand why. In spite of this I’ve long admired their watches, especially the Navitimer from afar, ultimately being too big and inaccessible. But a couple of years ago Breitling changed that. In a stroke…
