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...
Titoni Seascoper 300 Hands-On Watch Review
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 Hands-On Review
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 Hands-On Review
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...
Charlie Paris Concordia Hands-On Review
Charlie Paris Concordia The Charlie Paris Concordia is available in many different colors, sizes, and movements, and this Tundra version is unique and special in a few ways compared to the rest of the collection. Charlie Paris hails from France of course and has been operating since 2014. Almost 10 years ago, yet someone they have flown under my radar up until recently. The French brand makes both...
Marloe Sceptre October Hands-On Review
Marloe Sceptre October The Marloe Sceptre October is one of the latest watches from Malroe Watch Company, a British-based microbrand that popped on the scene in 2015. Since then, they have created quite a few models and have their own distinct style, and have created their own niche. You see, Marloe doesn’t really have a standard dive watch most brands produce, they make watches that can go ...
Zodiac Ceramic Super Sea Wolf Hands-On Watch Review
Zodiac Ceramic Super Sea Wolf Here we are with another version of this iconic watch, the Zodiac Ceramic Super Sea Wolf. Yes, Zodiac has jumped into the ceramic watch cases, as they have been trying to expand their lineup this past year, using different materials for both the dials and cases. Meteorite, titanium, and now ceramic. High gloss, all-black ceramic with a deep blue dial, but this one has...
RZE Ascentus GMT Hands-On Watch Review
RZE Ascentus GMT The latest Microbrand to release a GMT, and I have a feeling this RZE Ascentus GMT is going to be quite popular. Available in 4 colors, azure blue, black, white, and medallion yellow, this 40mm GMT is attractive, has a beautiful and easy-to-read dial, and an all-new bracelet from RZE, that they dub the HEX links. It is all titanium again as well, keeping this watch svelte and ligh...
Nodus Retrospect III Hands-On Watch Review
Nodus Retrospect III If you have been looking for a watch that is not an homage, is affordable, attractive and of course, built well, all for under $500, the Nodus Retrospect III might be one to check out. That does come with a caveat though, as, at the time of publishing this review, this watch is, unfortunately, all sold out. At the time this watch was sent for review, it of course was still ava...
