Owner Review: Heuer Calculator – From Pi to Gallons
Two trains leave different cities traveling at different speeds headed towards each other. Train A carries Timmy and Train B has Juan. Timmy’s train is traveling at a speed of 100 mph (160 kmh), 199.99 miles (321 km) away headed towards Juan. Juan’s train is traveling at a speed of 80 mph (128 kmh) headed

Owner Review: Luch Speed Mechanical – From Russia with Love
Like an episode from the cold war, a man whose name I never learned contacted me through a regular electronic channel with an interesting offer. He had, he said, something that I might want. Something he knew I had interest in. A few more covert messages later a deal was done. The one-handed Russian Luch

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300M ‘Great White’ GMT 2538.20.00
Like a lot of other men my age, I was introduced to watches by Pierce Brosnan and the Goldeneye Bond movie. The thought of having a laser beam on our wrists and travelling the world to exotic locations with beautiful women left a permanent mark. Of course back in the real world, the Omega Seamaster

Owner Review: Seiko SPB147 – Who Needs the Black Bay 58?
Like most watch people, Seiko has been a staple part of my wristwatch experience for many years. For me, Seiko divers have come and gone. The most recent Seiko void in my rotation, just happened to coincide with the release of the new Prospex line up of the 62 MAS inspired divers, the SPB/SBDC series,

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 75090 – Neo Vintage
In my three watch collection, a neo vintage Submariner is my sport/active watch. I don’t like the term beater; to me it implies being disposable. I see my Tudor Submariner more as being ultra durable. I don’t have to worry about it at all. In fact, the scuffs, scratches and fading make it look better.

Owner Review: Timex Q x Hodinkee – Can We All Just Get Along?
I’m bound to raise a few eyebrows among the Fifth Wrist Writers Guild with a review of the Timex Q x Hodinkee. Fifth Wrist’s number one raison d’être is to remove brand marketing intervention from watch journalism and it’s no secret that Hodinkee is leaning hard into the brand marketing side of watch journalism lately.

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Pointer Date – The Versatile Red Dial
Oris are now a well established Swiss watch manufacture, with a solid reputation, a variety of designs and a faithful fan base. The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date models offer a variety of configurations: cases, dials, straps. I was impressed when I tried them on at a local AD, and quickly fell in love with

Owner Review: Seiko 5 SNZH55 – More Than a Fifty Fathoms Homage!
So yes, it’s been done to death and everyone knows how amazing it is blah blah blah. I admit I bought into the hype buying this Seiko 5 SNZH55 on an impulse. A few months later it hasn’t seen too much wrist time. Don’t fall into the hype! It’s not a bad watch. Not even

Owner Review: Victorinox INOX – Indestructible and Overbuilt
Now, before I begin the review of the Victorinox INOX, there’s something you should know – I’ve been a long-time fan of Victorinox and I own a bunch of their products – from pocket knives and multitools to kitchen knives and wine openers. And I’ve been extremely satisfied with all of them. As a company,

Owner Review: Ebel 1911 BTR GMT – The Quizzical Comfort of Cotton Balls
What do you get when you cross a hardcore military born hummer with a Lexus LC coupe … something very much like an Ebel 1911 BTR GMT … It even sounds like a sports car… it’s obviously not! What we have here is the most comfortably curvaceous, brick busting, muscular sports watch I think I’ve

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…
