Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver
In the nineties and the noughties the Royal Oak Offshore was the biggest, baddest luxury watch on the market, continuing to grow in size as the years progressed. But in the following decade tastes had begun to change slightly and downsizing began to occur. While the 44mm ROO was still a staple of the range,

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki King II
I will start by saying this: The Hamilton Khaki King II is a great way to get yourself into a Swiss Made timepiece, through a brand that carries a ton of heritage. Before we dive too deep (Water Resistance pun intended), lets get the notable specs out of the way: – 316L stainless steel case/bracelet,

Owner Review: Squale 30 Atmos GMT 1545 – A beautiful watch with flaws
First of all, I need to let you know something. I love Squale as a company and this watch is a stunner! But I do have some issues with the watch. The previous 30 Atmos watches were all 42mm and were a perfect fit for me. Although it seems that Squale eventually listened to customers

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Mark 2 Racing
Those familiar with Speedmaster history would agree that the “moon watch” is almost more famous than the mission itself; to watch geeks anyway. But, the Speedmaster is more than a one-trick pony. Sporting a cushion case, chequered minute tracks and a multitude of colours, this 1970s Omega Speedmaster Mark 2 Racing retains the speedy layout,

Owner Review: Seiko Marinemaster 300 SBDX001
As you already know Seiko Divers all have a cool Nickname, like Sumo, Shogun, Samurai and so on… So why doesn’t the Seiko Marinemaster 300 have one? Does it deserve one, does it need one? For the sake of doing so we could call it something cool like “The Black Ninja”, but the Marinemaster is

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor PAM 328
When it comes to recognisable designs in the watch world, Panerai’s Luminor range is towards the top, although that does not mean it’s universally loved. As a brand they’ve always had a hardcore following of aficionados as well as an equally loyal set of detractors. Personally, I felt somewhere in the middle; neither feverishly following

Owner Review: Omega Constellation Globemaster
I have always loved watches but only in the last few years have I become very serious about the hobby. As my interest grew, so too did my collection, as at its height, I had a grouping of 15 watches. Today, I only have three, with one being mechanical and worn regularly. That piece is

Owner Review: Bremont ALT1 Chronograph
The Bremont ALT1 Chronograph is one of Bremont’s staple models and has been for a long time. The ALT1-C is a straightforward, classy, 2 register chronograph which exudes British design class. I’ve owned my polished black version for just over a year now and I still totally adore it. My version is supplied on an

Owner Review: Marathon Navigator
Want a Military issued watch? Can’t afford any of the ‘Dirty Dozen’, those watches issued to the British Military with the broad arrow, like Longines, Record and Omega to name a few. OK how about a Vietnam issue Benrus or WW2 Bulova? Expensive and many have been re-done. The same goes for IDF Eterna watches

Owner Review: Speake Marin Piccadilly
Ok, full disclosure: As well as being a tragic indies collector, I’m a watchmaker. I lived in Switzerland and got to know a few independent watchmakers quite well, one of whom is Peter Speake-Marin, a true British gentleman and good friend. So this review on the Speake Marin Piccadilly may be a little biased, but

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…
