AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane AV-4046-02 Watch Review
Every time you put on an AVI-8 watch, you’re wearing a story, a piece of history. Their aviation-inspired watches honor military pilots and the planes they fly. The Hawker Hurricane AV-4046-02 is no different. A special-edition watch with a backstory The ideas for AVI-8 watches aren’t simply plucked from thin air—no pun intended. Each one […]
Seiko SGG711 Titanium Watch Review
Seiko’s SGG711 is a thin, sleek, modern watch that is constructed with a modern metal. Using titanium instead of plain old stainless-steel is a bold choice. Titanium has some interesting properties, discussed further down, that really set this piece apart from the more common watch models out there. This is very much a watch for […]
Seiko SNZG15 Seiko 5 Automatic Watch Review
The Seiko 5 is a venerable name in the watch world.

Seiko SSB031 Chronograph Watch Review
Could the Seiko SSB031 be a budget Omega Speedmaster? Well, let’s see; it has a black dial sporting 3 sub-dials, a simple bracelet, and it even has a tachymeter on the black bezel. Of course, this Seiko doesn’t have the same attention to detail or high-end parts as the Speedmaster, but that’s forgivable since it’s […]

Hamilton watches have a special appeal that few other watchmakers can match: American style with Swiss quality.

Seiko SKX175 Automatic Dive Watch Review
Sporting one of Seiko’s famous “Pepsi” bezels, the SKX175 we are looking at today is characterized by rugged good looks and a casual appeal. Seiko sells several divers that are very similar to this model (including the well-known SKX007 model), the main difference being the color schemes. I happen to think the red-and-blue design on […]

Seiko SSC017 Prospex Solar Watch Review
The Seiko Prospex model SSC017 is another entry in a long line of Seiko dive watches. This particular variant, sometimes referred to as the “Air Diver,” is set apart from other Seiko divers by its attractive black-and-blue color scheme. It strikes a fine balance between some of the more sedate all-black dive watches and the […]
Tutima Saxon One Royal Blue 6120-05 Watch Review
Much like the famous sports sedans from Tutima’s home country of Germany, the Saxon One collection is epitomized by a combination of sportiness and sophistication. The Royal Blue model 6120-05 reviewed here definitely skews more towards sophistication than sport, compared to the other watches in the range, so think of this more as a BMW […]
