PWR Collective’s Journey Ascent Watch That Powers Individualization
PWR Collective’s Journey Ascent Watch That Powers Individualization Watchmakers often want their timepieces to speak to wearers beyond having something good-looking on their wrist. An appealing watch will often evoke emotions and offer a glimpse into the character of the wearer. Few new watch brands get this more than PWR (pronounced ‘Power’), which is readying its first release ...
Zahnd And Kormann ZK Diver 2 | Hands On Review
Zahnd And Kormann ZK Diver 2 The Zahnd And Kormann ZK Diver 2 launched on Kickstarter this morning and offers a very affordable way to get a COSC certified dive watch that is available in many different colors, different metals (steel or titanium), and also as a GMT. I only had a short time with the Diver 2 as I had to get it passed on to another person and I was heading out on vaca...
Nodus Avalon | Hands-On Watch Review
Nodus Avalon The Nodus Avalon is the fourth watch to be produced from the Los Angeles based brand and while they openly admit that production is outsourced; assembly and QC is done in-house. I have been looking forward to this model for almost two years now, as this was meant to be the second watch in the Nodus stable, but a few setbacks kept that from happening. The young owners, Wes and Cu...
Raven Venture | Hands-On Review
Raven Venture Before I get into the nuts and bolts of the Raven Venture, let me just say that Raven Watches have a special place in my heart, or better yet a special meaning in the watch world for me. For those that are not aware, the current Raven Watches is run by Steve Laughlin, who was also partners in Benarus Watches for a long time as well. My first microbrand purchase was a Benar...
Obris Morgan Nautilus | Hands On Review
Obris Morgan Nautilus “Man, Obris Morgan watches all look the same!” “I wish Obris Morgan would do something different! ” To the people that posted comments like these or similar, Obris Morgan did something different. Immediately when I saw their latest model, the Nautilus, being posted on social media a few months ago, I said, well, they went against the grain for sure. Fo...
Spinnaker Bradner Dual Crown | Hands On Watch Review
Spinnaker Bradner Dual Crown Spinnaker Bradner Dual Crown Specifications: 42mm Stainless Steel Case 50mm Lug To Lug 14mm Thick 22mm Lug Width Seiko NH35 Automatic Movement 150 Meters Water Resistant Leather Strap Price $285.00 https://www.spinnaker-watches.com/pages/spinnaker-vintage-bradner-collection-sp-5057 I have reviewed a lot of Spinnaker Watches over the years here on Watchreport, but...
MTM Special OPS Hypertec-Hands on Review
MTM Special OPS Hypertec When I think of MTM Special OPS watches, this Hypertec watch is not what really comes to mind. It is not chunky, it is not overly “tactical”, it doesn’t have any special lighting system and is not touted as being a military watch or a professional diving watch. I am still not sure what genre to list this Hypertec in other than a sports watch, a...
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...
Tudor Black Bay Steel | Hands On Watch Review
Tudor Black Bay Steel Ah, Tudor. The sister brand to Rolex. Or is it brother? Cousin? They are in the family for sure. All joking aside, when you think of Rolex, many things may come to mind. Luxury, Wall Street, Celebrities, Expensive, Heritage, Prestige- I can go on, but I think you get the point. When one thinks of Tudor, some of those same things may come to mind. Tudor definitely has the...
Rotary Henley GMT | Hands On Watch Review
Rotary Henley GMT The Rotary Henley GMT is a new model from the British Based brand (though not produced in the UK), and comes in a few different color and strap options at a price point of $285-$335. The one I show here is on the lower end at $285 because it has a leather strap instead of a stainless bracelet. Checking the website before I sat down to write this review, I noticed that the blue di...
