Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m at 43.5mm is no small watch, even for a 600m dive watch it is on the larger side. But it is very wearable on the Omega rubber strap or a nato strap, while the bracelet adds a lot of heft and for those with a smaller wrist it’s a

Owner Review: Omega Speedsonic F300hz

I don’t like Omega Speedmasters. I don’t like chronograph watches. I don’t have any soft spot for Omega in my heart, even if I recognize their quality. 70s design isn’t my favorite. I don’t wear watches above 42mm because of my small wrist. I only like mechanical and automatic watches. No battery for me! I

Owner Review: Glycine Airman GMT Bronze GL0167 – Flying High

Before we get into the Glycine Airman GMT Bronze GL0167, I’ll begin with saying that I’m a watch enthusiast. I’m not an expert on the technical aspects of watch escapements, balance wheel materials or what type of chronograph movement works best under pressure. So, everything you get from me, apart from the technical specs I

Owner Review: Omega Constellation Beta 21 Electroquartz

This piece of history, with cutting edge technology (as of 1969), initiated a tremendous revolution in the watch world. The introduction of Quartz movements contributed to the extinction of many watch brands, transforming the horological landscape. Nonetheless, it should be noted that it was an admirable technological leap, that resulted in a wristwatch way more

Owner Review: Seiko Monster SRP309

Today, the Monster is a well-known, beloved and, dare I say, iconic watch from the Seiko line-up. It’s arguably one of the best and most recognizable designs from the brand, along with the Samurai, in the past couple of decades or so. But this was not always the case. When the aptly named Seiko Monster

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Red Dial

Last year, when I saw the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date with the red (oxblood) dial, I knew, that I “needed” to have that watch in my collection. The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is overall a really great watch to own. This particular model comes in both 36mm and 40mm. My watch features the

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Japan Racing Edition

The 2004 Omega Speedmaster Japan Racing (JR04 for short) is one of my personal favorite limited-edition Speedmasters. Its classic Speedmaster wearability coupled with its dashing colorful dial really make it a truly special experience to wear even without the “insiders-only” status it enjoys between those in the know. The touches of orange on the gray

Owner Review: Urwerk UR-103 – Oh baby, Urwerk it.

Before we get to the Urwerk UR-103 first, a little background story. I’ve always collected independents, ever since I first started really getting into watches in the mid-late 00’s. I found myself naturally gravitating towards indies because I always enjoyed things that represented real craftsmanship, rarity, and the connection you felt to not only the

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer 114270

The Rolex Explorer 114270 is the perfect go anywhere, do anything watch – until the day it is not. Weighing 3.6 ounces (102 grams), this 36mm watch affords the opportunity to own the lightest, nimblest sports watch that Rolex produced in the 21st Century. Its successor, the 214270, weighs 4.7 ounces and has expanded to

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150m Co-Axial

“The name’s Bond, James Bond.” (cue the Bond Theme song). This fictional character epitomised masculinity: fast cars, advanced weaponry, beautiful women, sharp clothing, watches, gadgets, and even gadgets built into watches and cars, and no matter who your Bond is (Connery, Brosnan, Craig, etc), I think it’s fair to say that most guys, though not
