Hanhart 417 ES Hands-On Watch Review
Hanhart 417 ES It is no secret that I am a big fan of Hanhart Watches and this Hanhart 417 ES is no different. Taking inspiration from the past, Hanhart has recreated the 417 ES, but this one is not the exact same as 1954, beyond just modern material upgrades and of course the movement. No, this one has been modernized to 42mm. Yes, the original case size was 39mm, but now you can get it in 42mm, ...
Venturo Field III-Hands-On Watch Review
Venturo Field III If you have been following Gruppo Gamma, you will know they launched a second brand a few years ago, Venturo. This Venturo Field III is the third field watch they have produced, and all have been very different. You can find all the Venturo reviews here on Watch Report, but this field watch takes the case from the Venturo Skin Diver and makes it into a clean field-style watch and...
Momentum Sea Quartz 30 Hands-On Review
Momentum Sea Quartz 30 In 1980, Magnum P.I. hit the airwaves and for the first 3 seasons, Tom Selleck as Magnum wore a Chronosport Sea Quartz 30. Some fans will remember him wearing a Rolex Pepsi GMT, which is true as that is what he wore for 5 seasons and thus is much more memorable to fans of the show. But true fans remember the original and though Chronosport is no longer around, technically it...
Fromanteel Pendulum Small Second Hands-On Watch Review
Fromanteel Pendulum Small Second When it comes to classically styled watches, I am not the target audience. Whether it is Nomos or a dress watch from countless brands, I find them beautiful, but they just don’t appeal to me. The Fromanteel Pendulum Small Second is definitely in the same genre of watches, but there are a few things that make this watch stand out among the others. First would ...
Titoni Heritage Chronograph Hands-On Review
Titoni Heritage Chronograph Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that retro is running wild when it comes to watches, and many brands are doing retro or heritage brands. Enter the Titoni Heritage Chronograph, with this particular version based on a 1950s Felca Chronograph, which just happens to be the original brand name of Titoni. There are a few versions of this chronograph, but th...
Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage Watch Review
Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage Nowadays many watch brands are concerned with complications or over-the-top design but Victorinox bucks all that with the new Victorinox Swiss Army Heritage. This is a classic field watch design-no muss, no fuss. A simple, easy to read 3-handed with a date and 24 hour time. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Being a heritage model it also definitely evo...
Vaer A5 Field Hands-On Watch Review
Vaer A5 Field Looking for a classic and clean field watch? Prefer something that is assembled in the USA? That is the Vaer A5 Field watch, or more specifically, all of the field watch lineups from Vaer. This midnight blue dial version is probably the cleanest of them all, but there are many more variations, many available in either quartz or automatic. This one is an automatic, a Miyota 9039 for t...
Ollech and Wajs C-1000 Diver Hands-On Review
Ollech and Wajs C-1000 Diver [dropcap size=big]V[/dropcap]intage, Vintage, Vintage. I say it all the time. Vintage is all the rage. The Ollech and Wajs C-1000 is a vintage inspired diver with a unique dial layout, custom made case, massive crown, and 1000m of water-resistance. The 60s and 70s had some great looking watches, most of them now iconic, so it makes sense to look to the past. Let&...
Casio G-Shock GMWB5000D-1 | Hands On Watch Review
Casio G-Shock GMWB5000D-1 I grew up in the 80s. I was 3 when the original G-Shock came out in 1983, so I wasn’t wearing the first one, but my father got me one when I was around 8. I loved it. Through high school I bought many. In my early 20’s I got into them even more and had about 10 in my collection. I also wore them in professional kitchens as these things are tough as nails! When...
Origin Vintage Field Watch | Hands on Review
Origin Vintage Field Classic. Ageless. Timeless. These are all good descriptors for the Origin Vintage Field Watch. A watch that will always be in style, no matter what decade. Something you can wear whether you are 20 or 80. Boy, that sure does sound like an advertisement, but I do enjoy this watch. There is something about the simplicity that draws me in. Just because it is not flashy does not m...
Votum Watches Heritage | Hands on Review
Votum Watches Heritage Another hibernating brand has been brought back to life, this time Votum. I have had the Votum Watches Heritage model in hand for a few weeks and I must say there is a lot I like about it, and a few things I do not. But first, who were Votum Watches and who brought them back out of deep sleep? Well, two Swiss Designers, François Zahnd – Owner and C...
GSD Pilot | Watch Review
GSD Pilot The GSD Pilot is the first watch from custom strap maker Greg Stevens. If you are familiar with custom straps, you probably know who that is. For those that don’t, Greg has been making custom leather watch straps and accessories since the mid 2000’s and was one of the first custom strap makers on the scene. His venture into watches has been a slow one. A few years ago ...
