Luxemont Maestro Series
Luxemont Maestro Series *This is sponsored post that was approved by the advertiser* Not many new watch brands have been able to carve a path of sophistication while delivering contemporary fine craftsmanship. It is a balancing act that is hard to find, especially at affordable prices. However, Luxemont is a company that has managed to succeed in building timepieces calling on a deep knowledge of ...
Pantor Seal | Hands on Watch Review
Pantor Seal The Pantor Seal is the latest from Pantor Watches, but is not really a new watch, as this case design and bracelet have been around for quite sometime and used by many brands. It’s a large chunky beast of a diver with a black dial and very stark white hour, minute hand and markers. At 288 grams in weight, this could be a wrist anchor for some, unless you like a heavy watch, or ar...
MTM Special OPS Seal Diver | Hands on Review
There are countless hard use watches out there, and many claim to be the best. I get it, that is marketing, and marketing sells merchandise. The MTM Special OPS Seal Diver is a dive watch made out of titanium, Allen screws everywhere and a “Specially Calibrated” quartz (Ronda 715 Li) movement. It also sports a carbon fiber dial, sapphire crystal and tritium tubes as well as Superlumino...
Helm Vanuatu Version 4 | Updated Review
Helm Vanuatu Version 4 It is quite rare for a brand to not only update and improve on their watch, but also drop the price significantly as well. That is the case with the Helm Vanuatu Version 4. As I dicuss in the video above, almost 3 years ago, I reviewed the original version of the Vanuatu. I had a quite a few issues and stated that if they were rectified, that it would be a fantastic watch. H...
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...
Nethuns Scuba 500 Meteorite | Hands On Watch Review
Nethuns Scuba 500 Meteorite What do you get when you take an iconic case design from one brand and pair it with the most recognized dial design in the world? The Nethuns Scuba 500 Meteorite. The Seiko 62MAS was a popular vintage diver that has recently been re-released by Seiko and a few microbrands have been pumping out homages within the past year or so as well. The Nethuns version is similar to...
Momentum Fieldwalker | Hands-On Watch Review
Momentum Fieldwalker I am not sure if many watch enthusiasts have been asking for a Damsko homage, but that is what the Momentum Fieldwalker is, at least to me. While I don’t know if that was the intention of Momentum or not, I would find it hard to believe they did not notice a resemblance. The Fieldwalker is not an exact copy of a Damasko, there are a good amount of differences of c...

E.C. Andersson North Sea II The E.C. Andersson North Sea II is of course the second version of this model, the first was funded through Kickstarter. It is a watch that can be used for all occasions, out on the sea, in the board room, the dining room and with your t-shirt and jeans for a casual day in the town. As the website states-“The Scandinavian way of design is clean...

McDowell Time Delray | Watch Review
McDowell Time Delray I admire new watch companies trying to make a footprint in a rather saturated industry. Every time I turn around someone else is trying to release a new watch on Kickstarter or other outlets. The problem regardless of the outlet utilized is incredibly hit or miss as far as making any sort of impact. Tired designs and lack of anything even remotely refreshing many times just le...
Minus 8 Diver Titanium | Watch Review
Minus 8 Diver In the world of dive watches, sometimes they can all start to look the same. Sub style, cushion case and even cases like the Oris TT1 and Aquis are the more traditional. Minus 8 is a brand that likes to deviate a little from the norm, and with that comes the Minus 8 Diver, the first dive watch from the California based company. Being forthcoming, I do prefer the traditional, but that...
