Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos

Squale, which means “Shark” in French and Italian. The unique look of this watch and the shark logo at the 6 o’clock position makes it easy to identify this professional diver at a glance from any distance. The Squale 1521 50 Atmos is a 42mm diver with 500m water resistance, the movement used is the…

Owner Review: Rolex Comex Sea Dweller 16600

Military watches first got my interest around 2010, when I got my FAP Omega with archive certification. From then on I went crazy over them. As Comex, Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises, is one of the most iconic logos among collectors, I am incredibly attracted to this group of divers. I chanced upon this Rolex Comex Sea…

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor PAM 328

When it comes to recognisable designs in the watch world, Panerai’s Luminor range is towards the top, although that does not mean it’s universally loved. As a brand they’ve always had a hardcore following of aficionados as well as an equally loyal set of detractors. Personally, I felt somewhere in the middle; neither feverishly following…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300m Ceramic

Not many watches, or product lines in general, have the ability to maintain relevance over the course of 25+ years. Times change, styles fade, and people get bored. But with the help of James Bond and some savvy advertising, the Omega Seamaster 300m has cemented itself in the minds of watch enthusiasts and Bond fans…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Blue 79220B

Tudor took the watch world by storm when it reintroduced itself with the highly anticipated Heritage Collection in the early 2010s. Among all the models, the Black Bay heritage line played the most crucial role in reasserting the Tudor brand back to “relevancy.” I immediately fell in love with the Black Bay Red reference 7922R…

Owner Review: Seiko Gold Turtle SRPC44

The Seiko Gold Turtle SRPC44 (or ‘Gurtle’ as termed by a fellow Aussie watch enthusiast), is probably one of the best F@*% off watches out in the watch space right now. For a brand like Seiko; arguably the king of true utilitarian, affordable tool watches to make a watch that encompasses all those characteristics, but…

Owner Review: Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver

Way back in 1976 Citizen invented the first light-powered analogue quartz watch that runs only on light as a power source. Amazingly it can retain power for up to 6 months on a full charge. This history brings us to my Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver. The dial is matt black with Trapezoid markers at 12,3,6…

Owner Review: Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military OVM

I can hear the watch snobs…sipping on their Haterades as I type this review. The first time I bought the Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military I was very happy with it. Then I started to read the reviews, damning this homage watch to being no better than a fake. So I sold it…I felt a bit…

Owner Review: Longines Legend Diver L37744506

I don’t pretend to know everything about watches. I do however think that learning in the world of horology doesn’t stop and more importantly, many lessons have been and will continue to be learned along the way. Many pieces have come and gone, many with a pleasant good riddance for a grander piece, a grander…
