Rotary Commando Big Pilot Watch Review
Rotary Commando Big Pilot In a world of homages and copies, it is not uncommon to see a pilot watch that looks similar to the big brands. Let’s face it, so many do pilot watches, from Laco to Stowa, and of course IWC. The latter is what I would say this Rotary Commando Big Pilot is based on, and Rotary chose to do a simple 3-hand date version. This new model comes in a few different versions...
Titoni Seascoper Color Block Edition Review
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...
Nomadic Pitch Black Hands-On Watch Review
Nomadic Pitch Black The watch world, especially the microbrand watch world, can be very interesting and at times, very complex. The Nomadic Pitch Black, and the entire Maraí 401 watch series, are just that. One of the reasons I wait most times to write these written reviews after I publish the video is because I like to see the feedback and I usually get some insight on what viewers think o...
Epos 3439 Classic Moon Phase Review
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...
Boldr Safari GMT Hands-On Watch Review
Boldr Safari GMT Since the Miyota 9075 and the Seiko NH34 movements were unveiled, the latest microbrand trend has been GMT watches. Boldr has released quite a few GMT watches in the past, like their Globetrotter series, but those were much more expensive, and also much larger watches. The 9075, which is referred to as a “true” GMT has been quite popular, and is also a way for brands t...
Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300 Watch Review
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...
Hanhart 417 ES Hands-On Watch Review
Hanhart 417 ES It is no secret that I am a big fan of Hanhart Watches and this Hanhart 417 ES is no different. Taking inspiration from the past, Hanhart has recreated the 417 ES, but this one is not the exact same as 1954, beyond just modern material upgrades and of course the movement. No, this one has been modernized to 42mm. Yes, the original case size was 39mm, but now you can get it in 42mm, ...
Marloe GMT Hands-On Watch Review
Marloe GMT If you have been paying attention, you will know that the newest trend in watches, especially microbrands, is GMT. Every year we seem to have a new trend; smaller watches, Genta-inspired watches, mint-colored dial watches, etc. We also have a newer GMT movement that is responsible for a lot of these GMT watches, which is the Miyota 9075. The Marloe GMT utilizes this new movement, and th...
Vaer D5 Tactical Diver Hands-On Review
Vaer D5 Tactical Diver Vaer Watches have become extremely popular and this Vaer D5 Tactical Diver is very popular as well. How do I know? Well, at the time of this publication, this watch in both the 42mm shown here and the 39mm variant is sold out. This review got pushed back a little, mostly my own fault and as such if you want to get your hands on one of these, you will have to wait for a resto...
Stella Watch Ellis GMT Hands-On Review
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 ...
Venturo Field III-Hands-On Watch Review
Venturo Field III If you have been following Gruppo Gamma, you will know they launched a second brand a few years ago, Venturo. This Venturo Field III is the third field watch they have produced, and all have been very different. You can find all the Venturo reviews here on Watch Report, but this field watch takes the case from the Venturo Skin Diver and makes it into a clean field-style watch and...
Steinhart Comex Hands-On Watch Review
Steinhart ComeX I am sure you are all familiar with the Ocean One, one of the most popular microbrand watches in existence, and if so, you might also be aware of the Steinhart ComeX Ocean One, a special edition originally done in 20092010, and now being Exclusive to Olko Watches, a dealer in Germany. Now I do not exactly have all the facts as far as if these are NOS dials or being reprinted for th...
