NOVE Trident Combines Elegant Design and Functionality
NOVE Trident In 2019, Swiss micro-watch brand NOVE announced and launched its new Trident series watch, a timepiece that has continued to generate a lot of interest since. Not only does the Trident have some standout features that make it unique in the marketplace (more on that soon), NOVE has ensured it makes the watch to the highest standards of quality and workmanship. NOVE has become notable a...
Hands-On with the Marc and Sons GMT
Marc and Sons GMT The Marc and Sons GMT Steel Series has a very familiar look, and for some watch folks, that is a big no-no. Allow me to deviate from the review of this piece for a moment to discuss a few things I just do not understand. Hate against homages. Now, I am not talking about dislike. I dislike many things, so do you. That is normal. Hate is another thing. I will give a quick example &...
Seiko King Turtle Hands-On Review
Seiko King Turtle Seiko has listened and finally upgraded the Seiko Turtle. It already has a nickname as well, the Seiko King Turtle, and there are 3 variations currently available. The green dial reviewed here (SPRE05), a black dial with bracelet (SPRE03) and the Save the Ocean model (SPRE07). These new King Turtles sport new waffle dials (except the Save the Ocean, a slightly newer bezel grip, c...
Esoteric Bathyal Hands-On Review
Esoteric Bathyal It seems these days most brands (micro and otherwise) are inspired by vintage pieces, especially watches from the 60s and 70s. It makes sense, seeing as how many amazing watches came from that time period, especially when it comes to diving watches. Many mainstream brands are hopping on this trend as well, releasing modern interpretations of their past iconic watches. One brand th...
Ginault Ocean Rover II-The Review
Ginault Ocean Rover II I am fully aware of what Ginault has been accused of, and why most have promised to never cover the brand again. That is all well and good, and every site and channel should do as they please. Same thing with Watchreport. For a while last year, I thought about doing the same. When Ginault reached out to ask about reviewing the Ocean Rover II, I initially declined. After I po...
A look at the Zelos Hammerhead II
Zelos Hammerhead II Long-time fans of Zelos surely know the Zelos Hammerhead, a chunky cushion-shaped style dive watch that has proven to be one of their best selling models. Because of that, Zelos has recently released the Hammerhead II. While the Hammerhead has had a few variations through the years, this second edition is updated with a slightly new dial, a Helium Release Valve and a new ...
Marloe Morar Beacon | Watch Review
Marloe Morar Beacon Dive watches are some of the most popular watches out in the market, and that probably will never change. The dive watch is functional, sporty, generally attractive and can be worn in almost any setting or any activity. The Marloe Morar is Marloe Watch Company’s take on a dive watch, and while it may look derivative at first, I feel they put their unique spin on the dive ...
Bern Milford Diver | Watch Review
Bern Milford Diver The Bern Milford Diver and the journey to their Kickstarter Campaign have not been an easy one. One of their first prototypes, (shown in this review) did not have a rotating bezel. It also was not QC’d very well either, as you can see in many of my photos that there is a lot of dust under the crystal. Yes, that is the watch that was sent to me for review, but knowing ...
Titoni Cosmo Automatic | Watch Review
Titoni Cosmo Automatic Have you always wanted a Rolex Datejust, but just do not have that much coin? Do you like sunray dials or just a somewhat flashy but not overdone dress watch? All those things describe the Titoni Cosmo Automatic and with a price of around $1000 USD, it is not a bad pickup. Titoni is a brand that has been around for 100 years, (starting out as Felco) and claims to be one of t...
Breitling Avenger II Seawolf | Hands-on Watch Review
About 10 years ago, the Breitling Avenger II Seawolf was what I referred to as my grail. These days, I do not have a grail, as that term is just overused in my opinion, but at the time, it was just that. Through the years though, my tastes changed a lot, (or at least I thought they did) and this watch was nothing but a distant memory. Flash forward to a few months ago, and I decided it was time fo...
Venturo Field Watch | Hands-On Watch Review
Venturo Field Watch (By Gruppo Gamma) 6 years. That is about how long Gruppo Gamma has been in business and has now lead them to create a sister brand, Venturo Watches. I have reviewed countless watches from the brand over the years, almost every model I believe. Being a reviewer and editor of this site I have also spent a lot of time talking to the other of Gruppo Gamma watches, and while we live...
TWCO Air Controller Chronograph | Hands-On Review
TWCO Air Controller Chronograph TWCO, a brand we have covered here in the past, is what I like to call a sleeper brand of sorts. They do not release new models every year, and this TWCO Air Controller Chronograph is their first new model in about 2 years. A follow up of sorts to their original Air Controller model, which has more of a tool/diver style look about it, kinda like a Sinn 85...
