Boschett Reef Ranger Watch Review
Today we look at another model from Boschett Timepieces, the Reef Ranger (Version 2). This upgraded and redesigned version of the Reef Ranger, is definitely a more aggressive style, but still refined with some nice improvements in both design and function. The newest Reef Ranger, equipped with a 42mm case, uses hex screw bars for the bracelet attachment, does not have a cyclops over the date like ...
Marathon Duvdevan Navigator Pilot Watch Review
The Marathon Watch Company’s origin dates back to Weinsturm Watch, that was founded in 1904, later becoming the company we are now familiar with today in 1941. I have always been a fan of the watches produced by the Canadian based company. Most people who follow various watch blogs and forums are quite familiar with their offerings such as the JSAR, TSAR and GSAR, but many may not be quite a...
UNIQ GAF44 Watch Review with Video Review
Taking a look at the Uniq GAF44, we find a very clean and military inspired watch with just enough bells and whistles to satisfy the collector. The GAF 44 is modern sized, clean, legible, and a good-looking watch that should serve its user for many years. The majority of Uniq models are military inspired; from pilot style to the rugged military style you’ll see here. This is the second versi...
TSOVET SVT-FW44 Timing Gauge Watch Review with Video Review
TSOVET (pronounced “So-Vay”) is a brand that has piqued my curiosity for some time now. The company is based in California, USA, and has a full line of styles including some Swiss Made timepieces. According to TSOVET, the SVT-FW44 Timing Gauge, the model being reviewed, draws its inspiration from a WWI infantryman’s field watch. TSOVET also indicates their designs to have an indu...
Triwa Nevil Blue Steel Watch Review with Video Review
Triwa was an unfamiliar brand to me prior to getting the chance to review the Nivel. As always, it is great to check out a new brand and be able to report on it. All Triwa Watches are designed in Sweden (not sure if assembeled there, but more on that later) and use Miyota Quartz movements. The Blue Steel Nivel is a newer variation of their Nivel line, and can be bought retail for $350 USD, which i...
AVI-8 Supermarine Seafire Watch Review and Video Review
Growing their collection simultaneously with their popularity, AVI-8 has newly released another addition to the pilot collection. Having already reviewed the FLYBOY, and the Hawker Hurricane, I only found it fitting to squeeze in a review of the new Supermarine Seafire. In the Seafire collection, there are four case options to choose from. Two being brushed stainless, one black stainless, a...
The David Yurman Classic 43.5mm Small Seconds
Jewelry designer David Yurman has a watch collection. Normally, I am quite skeptical about jewelry designers that add watch collections to their portfolios. So I decided to do some research and see if there was any merit in these David Yurman watches. As expected, David Yurman watches are fitted with ETA self-winding mechanical movements. The watch featured today is from the David Yurman Classic c...
Vacheron Constantin Malte Small Seconds
Vacheron Constantin presented to the world the Malte Small Seconds at SIHH earlier this year, confirming its place at the head of the proverbial watchmaking table. As far as tonneau shaped watches go, this new release from Vacheron is simply sublime. The Vacheron Constantin Malte Small Seconds in its entirety looks carefully planned, yet effortless all at once as there aren’t any major bells...

Boschett Harpoon White Dial Watch Review and Video Review
If you belong to watch forums or follow boutique watch companies, you have undoubtedly heard of Boschett and their Harpoon model. Released in 2012, Boschett quickly sold out of the 100-production run, and dive watch fans have been waiting impatiently for the second batch. Well, finally the wait is over! Boschett has two new versions of the Boschett Harpoon, a black dial and a white lume dial. Besi...
Lum-Tec G5 Watch Review and Video Review
With spring here and summer right around the corner, it’s only fitting that we review another Lum-Tec watch that will fit the seasons. The G series from Lum-Tec is definitely a watch with some hot weather flavor. The collection boasts a total of 10 different color styles to choose from, 4 of which are PVD coated casings. Apart from their distinct colors, the skeletonized case itself is one f...
A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Striking Time
Yet another giant release from SIHH by this globally revered brand – A. Lange & Sohne for 2014. Watch Report is pleased to introduce the A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Striking time. There haven’t been many releases of minute repeaters this year and fewer still with an in house movement, so this release from this German brand sits at the very top for me. As this complication came ou...
