Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver NY0040-41e

I bought the Citizen Promaster Diver NY0040-41e on a whim! I thought, ‘I wonder if it’s a good Seiko SKX alternative?’ I’m going to say that this watch was extremely low priced, due to being refurbished, however I came to find out that, it was sold as refurbished but it wasn’t. It has a dial…

Like most classically styled tank watches, this Must de Cartier Tank is considered an icon in the world of horology due to its atemporal character and it can be a great piece on your wrist. Launched to the global watch market in 1977 with different variations and colors of dial, it still conserves the original…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Olympic Games

I like things other people usually don’t and when I saw this Omega Seamaster Olympic Games watch I was smitten. Watch brands and sport have a long historical bond, and one of the most recognisable is Omega and the Olympics. Omega seem to release countless limited editions to tie into various events or historical moments…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M

Today we are going to talk about one of my favourite divers ever: the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M. This story goes back to when I saw the James Bond movie Golden Eye as a kid, Pierce Brosnan wore his Seamaster with the characteristic waves on the watch face. I was so impressed that I…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner “No Date” 114060

My first Rolex was an Explorer purchased about two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer is a great watch: understated, comfortable, a great candidate for a “one watch collection” if you’re not able to spend a lot of money and choose to have only one great watch. But I suppose I was not…

Owner Review: Colibrica Design Indicator

If you were to ask me if there is anything unique about the Colibrica Design Indicator I would have to answer that it would be its soul. Despite its more than reasonable price, considering the amount of self-made components involved, the Indicator is by no means a beginner’s watch. It is a timepiece I recommend…

I had seen the Zodiac Super Seawolf 53 about a bit on social media and then I met someone at a Redbar London event in the new year who owned the Zodiac Aerospace GMT Hodinkee Edition and thought it looked fantastic and the quality looked great too. I ummed and aahed for a couple of…

Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e

The Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e is one very awesome model made by the Japanese watchmaking powerhouse. With a case width of 48mm, a thickness of 18.6mm and around 165g of weight, it deserves the friendly but imposing name of Eco-Zilla. When I chose it, I was looking for a summer mate and this…

Owner Review: Tissot PRC 200 Powermatic 80

In the world of Swiss watches, Tissot offers great heritage and a whole lot of different models to choose from – something for everyone, in every price range. However, I’ve always found their designs to be a mixed bag – there are some good ones, alright, but they have to be sieved from the pile…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 Sports SRPD Diver

When I was lucky enough to see the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD Diver on a local shop’s flash buy email for 60% off retail last Friday week, I just had to buy it. Sure I have a few watches in my collection, but I was wanting one for riding my bike to work and not…
