Corniche Heritage 40 Review
Today I am extremely excited to discuss a rather obscure watch brand that many of us may not be aware of yet. Corniche Watches is a company based out of Sweden that has produced their first watch model, the Heritage 40. Corniche Watches view their watch creations as something intimate to the wearer as described on the website: “We believe that watches are something more than a means of telli...
Minuteman MM01 Polished Watch Review
We here at WatchReport review a lot of watches, myself included of course – this is a review site after all. I always try and concentrate on the watch and the price when doing my reviews, and while this review is not really different, it is rare that I can discuss the motivation behind the company. Yes, the Minuteman Brand makes watches, but they have also had knives produced for them and ar...
Panzera Flieger 47 Date Series Watch Review
Black and Blue. The burger you ask? No. A bruise? Nope, not that either. The new Panzera Flieger 47? Yes, that would be what I am referring to. As the name would imply, the Panzera Flieger is 47mm and is another take on your standard pilot/flieger watch. There’s definitely a strong similarity to an IWC Big Pilot, though you can get a Panzera Flieger for a fraction of the price. But will...
Tom Carter Vanguard Watch Review
Tom Carter is a watch company located on the island country of Cyprus that has really jumped on the scene with some very affordable timepieces. According to the Tom Carter website, the brand is a “lifestyle brand with the main aim of providing its clientèle with quality time.” The brand has a strong focus on large steel watches with a high level of quality and accuracy. This rev...
Meister (MSTR) Aviator w/ Black Croc Leather Strap Watch Review
Lately, I am on a kick enjoying reviewing watches that present themselves as truly good values. Today, I’d like to share my thoughts about a new Aviator model from Meister (MSTR) Watches. Good looking Aviator style watches can be difficult to locate at times, especially at a reasonable price. Before we get into the watch, I want to share a little bit about MSTR watches as described on their ...
Brera Orologi SuperSportivo Square Watch Review
Brera Orologi continues to impress me, and their newest release, the SuperSportivo Square is no different. While it is true that I am primarily a lover of dive watches, the unique design and attention to detail with this new model is hard to ignore, and hard to not appreciate. With a brushed gunmetal case and just a few areas highlighted with polished steel, a multi-layer dial and a square case wi...
TWCO Sea Rescue Diver Watch Review
At first glance, one might think the Technical Watch Co. Sea Rescue Diver is paying homage to some long lost Italian vessel. In reality, the green and red markers outlining the circumference of the dial represent periods of observed radio silence should an actual sea rescue be underway. Not important, you say? Ask the crew and passengers of the RMS Titanic. It is believed that one of the safety ru...
ARC-TIC Iceland Ultima Thule Watch Review
When I think of the Arctic Circle, I think of a very remote, desolate place with very little industry and business, let alone watch companies. While the area overall may be a bit remote and desolate, a rather obscure watch brand calls Iceland home. ARC-TIC Iceland is a watch brand that produces timepieces made for extreme sporting and outdoor activities. The company is linked to the JS Watch Co. R...
Anstead Oceanis Watch Review
Today we get to take a look at the Anstead Oceanis – a dive watch that that is currently selling for $499. While the Anstead is technically a dive watch, I feel it is a great all occasion watch whether in the ocean, the office, or just your everyday watch. This is technically the second version of the Oceanis, or the evolution of the first model. Many might remember that model or still own o...
ITAnano Phantom Carbon Automatic 49 Watch Review
ITAnano, an Italy based company, has made their play in the watch world by incorporating similar uses of technology of the leading sport cars and aero dynamics manufacturing into their watches. By using such materials as carbon, mineral fiber and polyfiber monocoque, ITAnano has certainly figured out their way of separating themselves from the everyday run of the mill watch companies. The watch we...
Cobra de Calibre Steel Cobra 2 Watch Review
Today we are going to take a look at a relatively new micro-brand – Cobra de Calibre. Cobra de Calibre is a new company based out of Canada. The company wants to be known for their unique designs, so customers will have watches with a less than generic appearance. Cobra produces several different watch models, with one of the more unique models that I have ever seen in the Steel Cobra 2 whit...
Szanto 5103 Watch Review
Szanto has released their latest model, technically their second diver model, the 5100 series. The specific model I am reviewing today is the 5103, which has the radiant sunburst blue dial. Other dial colors available are black and a silver/grey. Equipped with a Miyota 2415 quartz, a water resistant leather strap, applied markers, and AR coated mineral crystal. The specifications of the 5103 on pa...
