About Vintage 1926 AT’ Sea Diver Hands-On Review
About Vintage 1926 AT’ Sea Diver The About Vintage 1926 At’ Sea Diver is, of course, a vintage style watch, from a brand out of Denmark, with what they describe as Scandinavian style. I wouldn’t exactly put About Vintage into the microbrand category at this point in time, they have been around 5-6 years and the brand was started by two friends, but nowadays they have a marketing ...

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 ...

Werenbach Soyuz Pitch Black Hands-On Review
Werenbach Soyuz Pitch Black The watch world consists of all kinds of timepieces, from the budget quartz pieces all the way to the upper tier of haute horology, with complications and dials that amaze even non-watch enthusiasts. But usually, in the $1,000 price range, you rarely get anything with dials cast from melted rocket parts, nor watch cases that haven’t been seen on multiple watches. ...
Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 Hands-On Review
Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 When I think of Breitling, I usually think of the Avenger series or the Superocean, and even though these days the trend has been towards smaller watches, I think this Breitling Avenger Chronograph 45 is so iconic and a great watch regardless of the size. Now it’s true that I used to own a Breitling Avenger Seawolf and yes I did end up selling that watch. Why...

Ball Engineer II Green Berets Hands-On Review
Ball Engineer II Green Berets Titanium. Tritium.Titanium Carbide Coating. Field Watch. Honestly, when describing the Ball Engineer II Green Berets, I could probably end the review right there. This is not a new piece from Ball, but it is one I have been wanting to review for some time. Ball, as we know, uses tritium tubes almost exclusively in almost all their watches, and they have countless...
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Pro Diver Watch Review
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Pro Diver Back in my younger watch collecting days, I was a massive fan of Zodiac Watches, as was my father. And we owned A LOT of Zodiacs. These days, Zodiac feels like a very different brand, with a lot fewer models, and of course, in 20 years, the prices have gone way up. That said, most of the watches are much higher-end these days with COSC movements, more classic looks,...

The Blood and Thunder is almost a nod to the past, where we could get a quality watch with a quality movement for under $40...
Boldr Odyssey Lumicast Watch Review
Boldr Odyssey Lumicast The Boldr Odyssey may be the most popular model from the Singaporean brand and this latest model, the Boldr Odyssey Lumicast definitely has the brightest lume. Available only in bronze at this time, the Lumicast name comes from the massive cast markers that are essentially all lume compound, allowing for even more light to be absorbed than standard or sandwich dials. A few n...
D1Milano Subacqueo Watch Review
D1Milano Subacqueo Taking a very specific design and running with it is certainly risky, but that is exactly what D1Milano has done. This is the new D1Milano Subacqueo. I know, that’s right on the nose Italian, and for those curious how to pronounce it, you can check out the video review above, but you should also know that translated to English, it means underwater, which is pretty appropri...
