Peren Nera Rogue Hands-On Review
Peren Nera Rogue The Peren Nera Rogue is quite an attractive watch with a unique dial color, and 200 meters of water resistance and is offered in two distinct versions. The version I have here is the diver, but there is also a Rogue X version, with a stainless 12-hour bezel insert, that can be used to read the dual time. Unfortunately, this brand and I have history, and I just can’t seem to ...
Titoni Airmaster Hands-On Reviews
Titoni Airmaster Titoni Airmaster Titoni is a brand I have covered here a lot, and for good reason, they produce a great watch and I am always willing to review a model from the independent Swiss brand. This one, the Titoni Airmaster, has many variants that bear the same model name, and while similar they are not all identical. In this latest version, there are 6 colorways available, this dark nav...
Circula Aquasport II Hands-On Watch Review
Circula Aquasport II Circula may not be a brand you know of, but they trace their roots all the way back to 1955. This Circula Aquasport II evokes the brand’s own models from the 70s and just like the originals are still made in Germany. The Aquasport II comes in a few dial variations like most watches do, but the one I have here is the Aventurine quartz dial, limited to 99 pieces and ...
Audaz Seafarer Hands-On Watch Review
Audaz Seafarer Audaz is a brand that has been around for a while, since 2016 and the brand itself causes a little controversy, not for any big reasons, but the argument always is, are they a microbrand or not? A popular microbrand watch group on Facebook lists them as not, but I can’t really find any info to refute it, but most do consider it a factory brand. Either way, they are shipped out...
Rotary Regent Special Edition Hands-On Review
Rotary Regent Special Edition Rotary has released a new version of the Regent, and these funky new models are dubbed the Rotary Regent Special Edition. The previous model I reviewed, was a more classical looking watch, a dressier piece and this new PVD version with vibrant colors definitely skews more sporty or casual. The case, crown, and movement ultimately stay the same for the most part, but n...

Serket Reef Diver 2.0 Have you been watching older episodes of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives? I mean, like really old episodes. Well, I have, but probably because I was looking for episodes where he was wearing this watch. Well, not exactly this watch, but the original version of it. The Serket Reef Diver 2.0, is a watch that in its original form was released all the way back in 2008. A lot of thin...
Glycine Combat Sub Gilt Hands-On Review
Glycine Combat Sub Gilt Have you ever been looking for that perfect watch for a specific purpose? That is what I thought this Glycine Combat Sub Gilt was going to be. No, I am not talking about a grail watch, I have a much different definition of what a grail item is, as that term has just become ubiquitous with the next watch on the list for most people, and that is not what I consider a grail. N...

That’s where the Momentum Atlas comes in, this time in with a Miyota 9015 automatic movement. A 38mm bead-blasted titanium case, the Atlas is available with 4 different steak options-titanium bracelet, a Cordura strap, and a rubber or leather strap, and prices range f...

Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression 53 Hands-On Review
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression 53 Zodiac’s core lineup is undoubtedly the Super Sea Wolf, and that’s for good reason. Zodiac has a very long history and even though they are now owned by Fossil, Zodiac is going back to their roots, but know they are not resting on their laurels either. The Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Compression 53 Diver is not only part of their core lineup but also...
Epos Sportive Diver Hands-On Review
Epos Sportive Diver When you’ve been in the watch game as long as I have and do reviews, you see countless opinions on what is right and wrong in the watch world. Who’s right? I have no idea, but I do know that no matter the brand, there are companies that will undoubtedly borrow design cues, and materials and even make straight-up copies. Look at all the pastel dials everyo...
