Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz

I have been collecting watches for almost 20 years now and by the time the Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz was announced in 2010, I was only focused on vintage watches but it became my first modern Speedy to mark an important personal achievement. This LE commemorated the 35th anniversary of the rendezvous of Apollo and…

I am an engineer and I work in an office with a lot of engineers and project managers. It probably won’t be a big surprise that there are quite a few watch fans in my line of work. From the people that wear different fashion watches every day, to the guys with their one good…

Owner Review: Oris ChronOris – Racy Vintage Vibe!

Let me start by saying that I really do love the Oris ChronOris! I have owned this watch for almost 2 years now and it makes me smile every time I wear it. For my just over 7 inch wrist it is a perfect everyday size at 39mm in diameter and 43 mm lug to…

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Tribute To 1931

Before we get to my review of the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Tribute To 1931 we need to cover the history. Over 40 years before the now iconic Royal Oak, another legend was born out of necessity. The Reverso by JLC. Legend has it to fulfil the wishes of polo players who didn’t want to damage…

Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950

Originally introduced during the year 2011 in precious metal only, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 was then announced in 2017 in steel also. The word Tonda derives from the Venetian word Tondo, the round canvas on which Renaissance artists created works of art and refers to the round case shape of the watch, while 1950…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date

This Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date is a very unique, yet ballsy design! If a German Flieger from WW2 and an American pocket watch were to mate, and have a baby, it would look like this! The case is very nice and wears smaller than the 46mm suggests. Although 46mm is far too large…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical H69429931

The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical H69429931 is one of those watches that’s had a lot of articles written about it. Which is totally understandable, it’s a great watch. It’s a modern reincarnation of a classic military spec watch, in a super comfortable size. Well suited to many wrists due to its slim profile and decent…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Harrods Edition

Although blue is my favorite color, I’ve always loved green watches. I owned the Rolex Submariner Hulk for a couple of years before selling it off, in favor of the 50th anniversary Submariner, aka the Kermit. So when the Tudor Black Bay Harrods edition was launched last year in late 2017, I was drooling all…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K

Some time ago I found myself wanting a smaller automatic sports watch at a reasonable price that would fill the gap between the more precious automatics and the full on G-SHOCK sports watches in my collection. Enter the Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K. Watches with a staggering history and heritage all of their own and a…
