Jack Mason Hydrotimer Hands-On Watch Review
Jack Mason Hydrotimer Jack Mason may have started with what many would refer to as a “fashion brand” watch, but this Jack Mason Hydrotimer is anything but a fashion watch. With 300m of water resistance, an all-stainless steel case with a hard coating, ceramic bezel insert, gilt hands and indices, and just an overall solid feel and finish, and a Miyota 9039 Automatic movement, this watc...
Hands-On With The Montoir MWMOD-01 Dive Watch
Montoir MWMOD-01 Dive Watch Hitting Kickstarter on October 11, 2023, is the Montoir MWMOD-01 Dive Watch. There truly seems to be no end to new brands emerging, and though some folks might see this as oversaturation, I see it as just more options and choices for everyone. Speaking of choices, the Montoir will be available in 5 dial color options, use the Sellita SW200-1 movement, and be marked Swis...
RZE Aspirare Diver Watch Review
RZE Aspirare For the past few years, there has been a trend in the watch world, specifically the microbrand watch world, with smaller diameter watches. Why? Who knows? How do these trends start anyway? Whatever the reason, many microwatches released these days are under 40mm. And that is fine, as it seems there are many who do prefer a more compact watch. But what if you don’t, what if you a...

Victorinox Journey 1884 Hands-On Review
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...
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...
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...

A-11 watches were originally contracted by the government and made by Waltham, Elgin, and Bulova, but also Hamilton as well. Praesidus, a brand that hit the sc...
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...
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...
