Owner review: Tissot PRX Chronograph

The Tissot PRX Chronograph is a newly released automatic chronograph in the modern Tissot PRX line. The current MSRP is $1750 USD. I am still in the honeymoon phase but I have been able to formulate some opinions about it.

Owner review: Breitling Chronometre B-1

Purchased used in 2016, but built in 2006, my Breitling Chronometre B-1 was the last of the ‘B-1’ model range. The later model B-1s houses certified chronometer quartz (cal. B78) which means a max time variation of 0.07 seconds per day, which is around 2 seconds a month! The movement is also thermo-compensated, regulating the…

Owner review: Tudor Ranger 79950

39mm 39mm 39mm I’ve been hearing that in my head more than I hear the phrase pop of color from watch reviewers on YouTube. So when I heard the Tudor Ranger 79950 was released, I called the ADs in town and 11 days later I was lucky enough to get the first one in. So…

Owner review: Hermes Arceau Grande Lune

I recently purchased the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune and I must say it is an elegant dress watch. This version comes with the blue calf skin strap with deployant clasps. Coming in at 43mm, legibility is good for people with waning eyesight. The power reserve of the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune comes in at 42…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph

The Omega Seamaster line never interested me until the release of this Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph edition. This model had me surprised with a lot of firsts from Omega; from the one-click quick bracelet/strap change to the chrono-lock function. But what really got me is that red count-down ring that features an hour…
