Armand Nicolet JS9 | Hands On Watch Review
Armand Nicolet JS9 Every once in a while, I get a watch in for review that really stands out in terms of build quality and finishes. This time, that watch is the Armand Nicolet JS9. While it is not without a few quirks, the quality of this watch matches up with the price tag, which happens to be around $1700 USD. There is no doubt that in that price range there is some heavy competition, but the J...
Undive Dark Sea Black Storm | Hands On Watch Review
Undive Dark Sea Black Storm What do you get when you mix a Seiko 6105 and a Panerai Submersible? The Undive Dark Sea Black Storm. (Also available with a steel bezel, dubbed the Cool Steel.) The straight truth is that there are many in the microbrand world that do straight up copies and others who take inspiration from a few different iconic watch models and come up with something such as...
Ocean Crawler Ocean Navigator | Hands on Watch Review
Ocean Crawler Ocean Navigator The Ocean Crawler Ocean Navigator is the third model to come out from the New York-based brand. I say, the third model because while they have many variations of their very popular Champion Diver line, this Ocean Navigator is the 3-hand version of their original chronograph model. This one offers a lot-Titanium case, sapphire crystal and bezel and an ST...
Victorinox Maverick Automatic | Hands on Watch Review
Victorinox Maverick Automatic I have been of fan of Victorinox Swiss Army watches since I was a kid. I think my first one was a Calvary model, back in the early 90’s. Today, I have the Victorinox Maverick Automatic in hand, a watch that I have always admired the look of, yet have never owned one. Well, at least I do not think I owned one. I did a lot of watch trading back in the mid 2000&rsq...
BOLDR Odyssey Bronze Hands-On Watch Review
BOLDR Odyssey Bronze The BOLDR Odyssey Bronze is the latest release from the Singapore-based company. When BOLDR Watches first debuted about a year or so ago, I did not care for the name. I am sure most of you reading this have felt that way about many watch companies over the years. We all have our little reasons that keep us away from purchasing a watch at times, and for whatever reason, I just ...
Helm Khuraburi | Hands on Watch Review
Helm Khuraburi I have always said, value is very subjective. Some may think a $3,000 watch is a value because of what it offers for that price point. The Helm Khuraburi is much less than $3,000, 10 times less actually, at a price of $300. The term “Bang for your buck”, can be used to describe the Khuraburi, which would be an accurate description. I am one man, and this is one man&rsquo...
Elliot Brown Bloxworth 2.0 | Hands on Watch Review
Elliot Brown Bloxworth 2.0 A few years ago, Michael Wolfe, a former reviewer here at Watchreport, did a pretty comprehensive review on the Elliot Brown Bloxworth. You can find that review here: https://www.watchreport.com/elliot-brown-bloxworth-watch-review/. The version I am reviewing today, which sells for $750 US direct, as Alex from Elliot Brown puts it, is an evolution and not a re...
Unity Black Pearl Diver Launches on Kickstarter
Unity Black Pearl Diver Unity Watches, who hail from Barcelona, Spain, have launched their third model, the Unity Black Pearl Diver. They chose to launch on Kickstarter this time, for some extra exposure. Some may not be familiar with the Spanish brand, but they have been making their own watches in house since 2010. When I say they have been making their watches in house, they are not only design...
Oris Divers Sixty-Five | Hands On Watch Review
Oris Divers Sixty-Five I’ve been a fan of Oris Watches for a long time. I’ve owned quite a few over the years as well. The Oris Big Crown Timer, the TT1 Diver and my personal favorite, the Aquis. Within the past few years, Oris has been bringing back some of their vintage designs from the 60’s (as many brands have been doing lately). One of them is the Oris Divers Sixty-Five line...
Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker | Hands on Watch Review
Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker It is no secret that I am quite fond of Gruppo Gamma watches. I would say I have liked pretty much every model they have come out with and their newest model, the Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker, has that classic cushion shape that I am a pushover for. It also has a sandwich dial with Arabic numerals, another detail I greatly admire. The Peacemaker uses a mechanical movement, ...
Pontvs Nessi | Hands on Watch Review
Pontvs Nessi I can’t imagine it is easy to start a watch company. Sure, these days, we have the internet and it may be easier than ever to hook up with a factory and get a product produced, if you have the money. If you don’t have the money, you have crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter. Sure, you will still have to put in some initial money on your part for renderings, prototype...
