Owner Review: Smiths Astral CM4501 Skin Diver – A History of a Company
This Smiths Astral Diver dates from 1966. It has a frosted, gilt finished, 60467E 17-jewel movement with a double-roller lever escapement, a steel escape and a monometallic balance with a beryllium balance-spring. The stainless steel case is marked 20 Atmos, but the non-screw down crown makes the claim of 200m water resistance questionable. Samuel Smith

Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos Bluegasm
This is my Squale 1521, I sell a few here and there, but this isn’t going anywhere. I just want to describe my experience with this watch, but it’s not perfection personified…unlike me 🙂 Firstly, it feels like the perfect size universally at 41mm. Sits up well on the wrist too.

Owner Review: Nomos Tetra Neomatik 39
Say hello to the Nomos Tetra Neomatik 39 – since my university days, I’ve always wanted to get a Nomos Tetra, but I never quite got down to it. Alas, I’ve finally added it to my collection! There’s just something about a squared case watch that appealed to me, and NOMOS most definitely provides great

Owner Review: Tissot Banana Heritage Centenary Edition
When I first cast my eyes on the Tissot Banana Heritage Centenary Edition, I was instantly captivated by its nostalgic appeal. There’s the unmistakably vintage black dial with silver hands; the petite onion crown with the yester-year “T” signature; and most visually appealing of all, the curve silhouette of the watch’s ultra-thin stainless steel case.
