Ollech & Wajs 8001 Hands-On Review
Ollech & Wajs 8001 Integrated sports watches have been all the rage and OW pulled from their archives to create this Ollech & Wajs 8001. The 8001 is inspired by the OW Reference 8000 below and is updated for 2023. Well, I shouldn’t say updated as clearly, these are different watches. Still, they took that retro TV cushion chronograph design, and modernized It to a 3-hander date model...
Rotary Regent Special Edition Hands-On Review
Rotary Regent Special Edition Rotary has released a new version of the Regent, and these funky new models are dubbed the Rotary Regent Special Edition. The previous model I reviewed, was a more classical looking watch, a dressier piece and this new PVD version with vibrant colors definitely skews more sporty or casual. The case, crown, and movement ultimately stay the same for the most part, but n...
Ergon Adventum Hands-On Review
Ergon Adventum Have you purchased a Genta-inspired microbrand yet? They have been all the rage the past year and a half, for some reason or another, and here is another one, the Ergon Adventum. I think I have reviewed at least five different Genta designs myself here at Watchreport, but that does not even scratch the surface. There are many others, some on preorder right now, some I didn’t w...
Rotary Regent Hands-On Review
Rotary Regent The trend continues. What trend? Gerald Genta-inspired pieces. This time it is the Rotary Regent. If you are not familiar with Rotary, they are a British brand that has been around for 125 years and these days, most of their watches are manufactured and assembled in Asia. I have reviewed a few Rotary watches in recent years, such as the Henley GMT and the Super7 Scuba. Both of those ...
Nine Four Successor Watch Review
Nine Four Successor Despite all that is going on this year, watch brands are still producing new watches. The Nine Four Successor is a new brand and model to me and with a recent wave of Genta inspired designs that I have had in for review, I was not quite sure what to expect, especially considering the very low prices of the Successor. Fortunately, the Successor is not only a very nice watch for ...
D1Milano Atlas | Watch Review
D1Milano Atlas The D1Milano Atlas is one of only a few automatic watches available from the Italian based company, known for this specific style of watch case in many different variations. I was not overly familiar with the D1Milano brand, and after checking out their site, I saw that they have a lot of quartz models, but the few mechanicals they do have, which come in a few different colors and c...
Melbourne Burnley Watch Review
The Melbourne Burnley The Melbourne Burnley is a new model from the Australian based company that is inspired by one of Gerald Genta’s famous designs, but at a much cheaper price than what you would expect to pay for a Genta design. Now, as always, some people are against homages or inspired pieces of any kind, and it does get exhausting as most microbrands (not all) are homages of some kind...
