Draken Tugela GMT Hands-On Review
Draken Tugela GMT There are many GMT watches out there and currently, in the microbrand scene, quite a few brands are releasing GMT movements, with Unimatic selling out 100 in a few short hours. Unlike the Unimatic, the Draken Tugela GMT isn’t made of titanium, it is a solid chunk of blasted stainless steel and somewhat reminds me of microbrands of old like Boschett and Zixen, but has a tape...
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...
Hanhart Pioneer Preventor9 Hands-On Review
Hanhart Pioneer Preventor9 I definitely would not call the Hanhart Pioneer Preventor9 the black sheep of the Hanhart lineup, but it surely does not get the same love as say the Pioneer One, the Monocontrol, the 417ES etc. Why is that? I am not sure. Maybe because of marketing, maybe because it lacks the rotating bezle and iconic red marker, but I am here to change that. Well, not really, as this i...
Marathon MSAR Arctic White Review
Marathon MSAR Arctic White The Marathon MSAR is one of the smallest watches offered from Marathon Watches and is now available with a white dial, dubbed the Marathon MSAR Arctic White. At 36mm and 14mm thick, it is a beefy but small watch, available in both automatic or quartz variants. Reviewed here is the automatic version, which will set you back about $850 on rubber, more on the stainless stee...
Ayers Metropolitan | Hands-On Watch Review
Ayers Metropolitan Many people when discussing microbrands talk about how there is no originality sometimes, with the countless Rolex homages, Panerai homages and many more that are available out there and continue to pop up daily. The Ayers Metropolitan, while not being completely uninspired by other brands is a nice breath of fresh air if you will, as they decided to something very dif...
Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Aged Steel | Hands-On Review
Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Aged Steel If this is your first time here at Watchreport, you may not know that we have been reviewing Gruppo Gamma Watches for a long time. This latest model, the Vanguard Aged Steel is a throwback of sorts to the original Vanguard with some very nice upgrades. Gruppo has been in business since 2013 and they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Now equipped ...
Crepas Loggerhead | Hands On Review
Crepas Loggerhead If you are not familiar with Crepas Watches, you have probably not been following microbrands for that long. Crepas hit the scene a few years ago and between Crepas and their sister brand Tactico, they have surely made a name for themselves. Some of their more popular releases have been the El Buzo, the Tektite and the Cayman 3000. That brings me to the one I have in hand to...
Ocean Crawler Lume Rush | Hands On Watch Review
Ocean Crawler Lume Rush I am not a diver, nor have I ever claimed to be. I just happen to love dive watches. Being real, this watch I am reviewing today might never be used for diving either, though I am pretty sure as far as construction goes, it could handle it. The Ocean Crawler Lume Rush Diver is not your typical dive watch, especially with the sandwich cut-out dial, but it is fun to look at, ...
Magrette MPP Diver Steel | Watch Review
Magrette MPP Diver Steel Magrette has released their updated version of the MPP Diver, (Moana Pacific Pro), which has a slightly new look and an upgraded Swiss movement. A few years back I reviewed the first version and overall I was quite satisfied with it. I think I can say the same for this new version, though I think the makeover could have been a little more extreme. The Magrette MPP Diver St...
Momentum Torpedo Blast | Watch Review
Momentum Torpedo Blast It is rare to find an ultra affordable watch with quality components and a nice design. At least not the quality most watch enthusiasts look for. Now, when I say ultra affordable, I know $150 is still considered a lot to the general public to spend on a watch, and while there are many Seiko and Citizen watches out there in this price range, I think this Momentum Torpedo Blas...
TWCO Salvage Diver | Watch Reveiw
TWCO Salvage Diver Every time I turn around there seems to be another micro-brand watch company releasing a new watch of some sort. I am becoming more finicky these days when it comes to dive watches as I find myself more drawn to this style than any other. So, I find it very refreshing when a micro-brand company releases a superbly finished watch at an affordable price packed with quality specifi...
