Epos 3504 Titanium PVD The Epos 3504 Titanium PVD (official name- Epos 3504 Diver COSC LE) is the latest 500m diver from the Swiss watch brand. Late last year Epos introduced an all-new titanium collection of the Epos 3504, with an all-titanium case, a few different dial colors, and a choice of a bracelet, a nato strap, or a fitted rubber. All of the titanium watches come with a Sellita SW200-1 au...
Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Original Dive watches these days are everywhere. Almost every watch brand makes one. There are probably more dive watches on the market than anything else. But there are dive or diver-style watches, and then there are ultimate or extreme dive watches. That’s where the Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Original comes in. This watch has a lot going on, and a lot of it isn&rsq...
Titoni Impetus CeramTech In the world of wristwatches, dive watches are immensely popular, so much so that all watch enthusiasts must be professional divers. In all reality, dive watches are generally considered the best all-around watch, rugged but refined, high water resistance, easy-read dials, and great lume. What if you could get all that without it being an actual dive watch? Enter the Titon...
Nivada Grenchen F77 The original Nivada Grenchen F77 was released in 1977. Now, 46 years later, the resurrected Nivada has re-issued the F77, staying pretty close to the original in design, but using modern manufacturing and materials. Heavily inspired by the Genta-Design Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, released just 5 years earlier in 1972, Nivada wasn’t shy about copying it. And now here in 202...
Victorinox Journey 1884 If the Inox with its more utilitarian design and rubber bezel cover is not really your thing, Swiss Army has now released a watch that while not as hard-use as its predecessor, is still tough enough to take on most adventures. Yes, enter the Victorinox Journey 1884, a new watch from the famous Swiss Brand, which can act as a dive watch, a field watch, and just your everyday...
Titoni Seascoper Color Block Edition Earlier this year, I reviewed the Titoni Seascoper 300, a slimmer, slightly more subdued version of the Seascoper 300. Titoni has released a new version based on the 300, the Titoni Seascoper Color Block Edition. This new model is available in 2 colors, all-black DLC, with a black dial and grey indices and hands, and this all-DLC version with a vibrant metallic...
Epos 3439 Classic Moon Phase Keeping track of the phases of the moon probably sounds silly to most, but for the most part of human existence, we have used the moon as a way to track time. This is why moon phase watches, first pocket watches and then in 1925, wristwatches, have always been a very popular complication. The Epos 3439 Classic Moon Phase is a beautiful piece from the almost 100-year-ol...
Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300 The Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300 is one of the newest versions of the Aquaracer lineup, and like previous variations through the years, there are changes. Still, it’s not a totally revamped model. Most would consider this a positive as if something works, let’s not mess with it too much. And like previous versions, there are a lot of different colors and materials to...
Stella Watch Ellis GMT The Stella Watch Ellis GMT is the newest model in the young brand’s lineup, and the first thing you will notice is that this is one striking watch with a unique textured dial. Stella is all about doing textured or patterned dials, and that shows with their other new model the Breslin and also the Felix, which I reviewed a little over two years ago. This new model also ...
Titoni Seacoper 300 It seems some enthusiasts and collectors are still not familiar with Titoni, and even with this latest release of the Titoni Seascoper 300, I have seen some interesting comments. Yes, the 300 is the little brother to the Seascoper 600 and there are some change but the case design and amazing finishing is still here, as well as a COSC movement. Titoni wanted to have a more affor...
Marin Instruments Skin Diver Allow me to introduce a new brand and model, the Marin Instruments Skin Diver. I love being able to review new brands such as this, especially when they have hit a home run their first time at bat, which is not easy to do. Marin Instruments has two versions of this model, the Standard shown here and the Polar, a white dial, and both are limited in production, 300 and 2...
Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster Pacman If you are a watch history buff, you are definitely familiar with Nivada Grenchen. They have a long history that dates back to 1926, and were very popular in the 60s when the original Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster Pacman was born. The funky marker dial was not dubbed the Pacman then, but since the rebirth of the brand in 2020, they are embracing the likeness of the...
