Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression 53 Hands-On Review
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression 53 Zodiac’s core lineup is undoubtedly the Super Sea Wolf, and that’s for good reason. Zodiac has a very long history and even though they are now owned by Fossil, Zodiac is going back to their roots, but know they are not resting on their laurels either. The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression 53 Diver is not only part of their core lineup but also...
Epos Sportive Diver Hands-On Review
Epos Sportive Diver When you’ve been in the watch game as long as I have and do reviews, you see countless opinions on what is right and wrong in the watch world. Who’s right? I have no idea, but I do know that no matter the brand, there are companies that will undoubtedly borrow design cues, and materials and even make straight-up copies. Look at all the pastel dials everyo...
Elliot Brown Bloxworth Heritage Diver Hands-On Review
Elliot Brown Bloxworth Heritage Diver Elliot Brown Watches, based out of the UK, is known for making hard-use watches to be used for almost any occasion. Many rugged or tough watches are extremely tactical looking, and most likely not one you would wear for a night out or with a suit. Enter the Elliot Brown Bloxworth Heritage Diver, a dive watch yes, but with aesthetics rooted in the 50s and 60s d...
Rotary Seamatic Hands-On Review
Rotary Seamatic Following up on the popular Super 7, Rotary has released the Rotary Seamatic, a slightly different take on this budget dive watch. There are a few changes from the Super 7 Scuba, most notably the bezel, dial, and hands, and the slightly different crown, but the case and bracelet stay the same. Pricing is set at $350, which is a little more than the Scuba sold for, though that ...
Ithyus Abyssi Hands-On Review
Ithyus Abyssi The watch world is amazing, more so than ever these days, and just trying to remember all of the brands, past and present is a task I am not admittedly up to. And within the past 10-12 years, there are so, so many microbrands that seemingly pop up out of nowhere as it is much easier to start a brand than ever before. Enter the Ithyus Abyssi, a model from a young microbrand I somehow ...
Vancouver Watch Blood and Thunder Watch Review
Vancouver Blood and Thunder These days, people are looking for value more than ever, and the Vancouver Watch Blood and Thunder has that in spades. Between ongoing inflation and of course the pandemic, we are seeing prices rising for all products, including microbrand watches. The Blood and Thunder is almost a nod to the past, where we could get a quality watch with a quality movement for under $40...
Boldr Odyssey Lumicast Watch Review
Boldr Odyssey Lumicast The Boldr Odyssey may be the most popular model from the Singaporean brand and this latest model, the Boldr Odyssey Lumicast definitely has the brightest lume. Available only in bronze at this time, the Lumicast name comes from the massive cast markers that are essentially all lume compound, allowing for even more light to be absorbed than standard or sandwich dials. A few n...
D1Milano Subacqueo Watch Review
D1Milano Subacqueo Taking a very specific design and running with it is certainly risky, but that is exactly what D1Milano has done. This is the new D1Milano Subacqueo. I know, that’s right on the nose Italian, and for those curious how to pronounce it, you can check out the video review above, but you should also know that translated to English, it means underwater, which is pretty appropri...
Spinnaker Boettger Watch Review
Spinnaker Boettger At this point, I am sure most of you are aware of the Spinnaker Brand. This latest piece, the Spinnaker Boettger is another watch that ups the value of the brand overall, especially from how they started. I have reviewed many models from this Hong Kong-based brand and have discussed their parent company and sister brands, and while they do try to market themselves as a microbran...
Ball Skindiver Heritage Watch Review
Ball Skindiver Heritage If you are looking for a Skindiver, you have a lot to choose from when it comes to Ball Watch Company. This one here, the Ball Engineer Master II Skindiver Heritage (its full name), which I will refer to throughout the review as the Ball Skiniver Heritage, is one of many available on the Ball website. At first glance, it is kind of overload if you search Skindiver and you w...
Ocean Crawler Palomino Island Champion Diver
Ocean Crawler Palomino Island The very first watch released from Ocean Crawler was the Champion Diver, and now there is a very slightly updated version, the Ocean Crawler Palomino Island Champion Diver. That is quite a mouthful, I think most will refer to them as the new Champion Diver, but what you need to know is that the only differences are new dials and 3 colors of said new dial. The one show...
Titoni Seascoper 600 Hands-On Review
Titoni Seascoper 600 Titoni is quite an intriguing watch brand. I have talked about Titoni a lot in the past; They are still an independently owned Swiss Watch brand, and they have been producing watches since 1919 (Under the name Felco). While a good amount of their lineup doesn’t excite me, the Seascoper line is one I have always been fond of. The latest incarnation, the Titoni Seascoper 6...
